Well, I finally got around to looking at the new pics here. Were you guys there for a couple of days? And how come one portrait-format pic is vertical and the other is horizontal?

And I just gave Lark her first bath. She was utterly miserable, and she'll probably never voluntarily enter the bathroom again. I didn't have the heart to shampoo her. Next time, of course.....(Buahahahahaha!!!) She really did look so funny, though! I think she's forgiven me, but I doubt she'll forget. And it's times like this I wish we'd put a non-slip mat in the tub.

Huge thunderstorm last night. The power went out when I was in the middle of mopping the kitchen floor, and since one can't mop in utter darkness....I had gotten the vacuuming done, though, which is the important thing with Baron theoretically confined to the kitchen. Dog hair accumulation has shot up. I'm even running over the mud room now, which Baron hates. He's usually in the kennel when I'm doing the floor, and he always snaps at the vaccuum.

Mom is being stricter than usual about people getting on the comp during school, and so far it's one person getting kicked off per day. Peter was yesterday, Doug's today, and with any luck it'll be Owen tomorrow, since he's getting on everyone's nerves. He's trying to get me kicked off at the moment, but Mom's letting me blog. So kind.

And the single most-listened-to group at the moment is Rammstein. Doug's playing Los just now, which is one of my favorites. For the most part I prefer the Yoko Kanno station on Pandora. Some good stuff comes up, besides the Kanno of course.
