Turtles love me...

I have saved two turtles in two days. One I helped yesterday cross a "deadly" (for turtles that is) road by my house that has a pond on either side. That one was just a little baby one, no more than two - three inches long!

Then today, Brady runs in the house while I'm trying to finish getting ready for Shelby's 1 year doctor check up, and yells, "Mom, Mom...Skylar has a pond turtle in her mouth!" So I run outside, and sure enough, the dog has a full grown turtle in her mouth.

Ok.

So I start chasing the dog around the back yard, (yep, I know, I'm sure it looked hilarious), and I send Brady to find a bucket.

I finally pull the turtle out from the jaws of death, as it is pulled tight in to it's secure defense system, and Brady comes with a buck...nope, a teeny tiny sand pail.

So I "put" the turtle in the bucket, granted, he didn't fit. So I went and got a bigger bucket, packed all the kids in the truck, and off we went, with the turtle sitting nicely in Brady's lap...in the bucket, the big bucket.

We, I mean, I then got out at a nearby pond, Brady handed me the big bucket with the "still in Shell" turtle, and I, Turtle Goddess, realease the scared turtle back in to the wild.

Crickey.

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a...
