Not Me Monday!

July 12, 2010 by Arena Blake 5 Comments

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

Well, I am *not* currently holed up in my hotel room at the JW Marriott in San Antonio (for a work conference) writing this blog post instead of networking and hanging out with others from my company. Not me! I am a social butterfly, and definitely *not* a wallflower. 🙂

And I am certainly *not* going to use this Not Me! Monday post to share a little about the *ridiculous* weather we have been having back home. Not me! I would *never* write a funny blog post about something that would make *normal* people embarrassed.

You see, it’s rained *a lot* the last week back home.

So much, in fact, that our back yard now looks like a jungle.

And I have *not* given my poor, over-worked hubby a hard time for how badly he needs to cut the grass, even though he put in 67 hours at the office last week. Not me! I would *never* be so insensitive.

And I did *not* laugh when I walked outside, only to find that Kaylee *refused* to walk in the tall grass and get her paws wet. Not me! I would *never* rush inside to find my camera to take photos of that silly dog.

After a while, though, laying on the window sill was just *too* boring for this little ol’ dog. So off in the grass she went!

Yes, my friends, the silly beagle is *eating* the grass. I guess she got so tired of waiting on The Nerd to do it she decided to take matters into her own paws. 
Unfortunately, she threw up all of the grass she ingested later.
A *special* surprise for her mom. Yay for me!

Georgie was *not* a fan of the high grass either.

It completely covers up his feet.

At least his radar ears are free to hear phantom sounds from which he must defend the house.

I often find myself telling him that there’s *nothing* there.

Then I realize that, once again, I’m talking to my dog.

Well, folks, I’m off to a full day of meetings at the conference.

I hope you all have a wonderful Monday, and thanks for looking!

    I always talk to my dog! Most days I am glad she can't talk back but some days I wish she could. She also has "radar" ears and hears phantom noises. It's good to know she isn't the only one. 🙂

    I hope you're having fun at your conference! And don't worry–the eating grass and throwing it up thing is typically beagle. They do it to cleanse an upset stomach, or just to pass the time lol. Silly puppies! At least the grass is happy and not dead!
