Tell Mama Where It Hurts

I love watching the Olympics, but I ve been getting a little burnt out on watching them. I love the swimming, running, and cycling the best. Gymnastics I can take or leave; I mean why would I want to watch a bunch of skinny girls bouncing around contorting their bodies into shapes I could never dream of getting in? However, there was one important detail about gymnastics I forgot about. MEN's gymnastics!!!
This Housten based athlete was on the rings and stopped me dead in my tracks as I was scanning through channels. Apparently it was his one chance for gold and he blew it, but damn he looked fine doing it.

Ahhhh SUMMER!

Its been so so so long since I ve posted! Having a blog is WORK! And really? Is someone going to want to actually read about the misadventures and whining of a fat girl in Seattle? If nothing else its always good to get thoughts down and maybe someone will get a kick out of it. I know I get a kick out of reading my previous posts. So the hot days have arrived, and this weekend was pretty miserable. When your pasty and have a lot of extra skin, you tend to avoid the sun. Too much surface to get burned!

So since May, what have I done? Well I went to Costa Rica. Great trip, really fun and interesting, but went by myself and ended up kinda lonley and missing my dog. Also I am still trying to recover financially. It was a lot more expensive then I anticipated!

Been dating here and there, CR, OKcupid, Match. Met someone, broke up after 6 weeks. Turns out he was toting a long a little more baggage then expected and I have enough of my own without taking on someone elses! So the search continues. Right now just living life, have taken over a temporary MA lead position which will be more money but also more headaches! Isnt that always how it is??

I will get better at this blogging stuff and post some pictures soon. Hope this posting finds everyone healthy and happy. Keeping wearing that SPF out there!

Walmart Update

Got this e-mail from Cowbelly today.....

"Hi Karen!

First things first, the Wal-Mart execs LOVED Sam. Jamie thinks that he is a definite candidate for the finished products!

That being said, since Wal-Mart owns the images that Jamie took, she can't use them for ANYTHING! Not even her blog as far as I know. IF they choose not to use the images of sam for the dog food THEN Jamie can show them to you but can't e-mail or post them anywhere that anyone else can see them.

So when this whole process is finally over, (cross your fingers for the end of this week!) she will know who can see the images and who can't. For now all we can do is sit tight and wait to hear the final word from Wal-Mart."

Are you kidding?

What women actually answer this CR ads?..........seriously

3 weeks and counting

Its almost here!!!.....In three weeks I will be on my way to the beaches of Costa Rica! I was excited two months ago, but now that its almost here I can hardly stand it. I ve purchased almost everything I need except sunscreen and bug spray which I am sure I can get once I am there. My mom is insisting that I do not get drunk and "hook up with boys" while I am there.... (Rolling my eyes)......I am definitely going to be drinking, but hooking up with strange men in a Central American Country just isn't my style....she should sleep better knowing that. (I should probably bring some condoms just in case........someone else might need them you know!) I was very pleased to find a sexy bathing suit this weekend that doesnt make me look too much like a beached whale and actually gives some support to the girls...(gravity be damned). I am going to try my best to just sit around and relax while I am there, but I ve decided to do a sailing trip, do the zip line, and do an evening sea turtle watch. I figure between those activities and sitting on the beach, I should be doing fine.

Sam and the Devil Strike a Deal

Sam is tired of being some no-name mutt in the hood. He wants fame! He wants fortune!! Actually I want the fortune and he just wants a new tennis ball.

Sam finally had his chance to shine yesterday at his very first photoshoot at Discovery Park with Jamie Pflughoeft of Cowbelly photo. Sam and eight other dogs were put in various poses and shots, until finally the other five (loser) dogs were sent home and Sam and two others were left to have their pictures taken together.

Of course fame has its price, when it was finally asked what this shoot was for, they told us that Walmart (the devil in this tale) was creating new covers for their dog food bags. Yes, I threw up a little in my mouth too, but whats a stage mother to do? How can I not let Sam reach his full doggie potential?

Anyhow, after a long day on the "set", Sam and I both went to bed early. Being famous is hard work!
