Cookie conest~

Last night I spent 3 hours baking cookies for a company function. There was a lot of pressure... because a famous judge was supposed to be coming by the office today. I followed the directions on the back of the Nestle bag, and made some incredible batter.



Unfortunately, the cookies melted in the oven instead of baking properly... I don't even have a picture to show.

As for the famous judge...



My cookies took 6th out of 10 entries. Next time I'll go with the "no bake"...

Squirrel~

You know how Kevin Costner is always running around in the movie "Dances with Wolves", trying to avoid being scalped by those crazy native Americans all around him?

That's what I thought of when I found these squirrel remains on our back porch. Was it Hank,? Z? or some other wild native beast from the woods of Fuquay-Varina? Next time you look out your window and see a "rabbit" climbing a tree. Look again, and it just may be the other half of this tail.

And as for Kevin Costner... thank God for Bull Durham.

Training Hank~

Call me crazy... I'm training our dog Hank with a baby doll that cries when you squeeze it's hand. The first time Hank heard it cry, a tilt of the head and a little sniff, and he was done. Want to know a great way to waste $15?? Buy a baby doll to train your 90lb lab, who only cares about one thing... food.
