Tech

Keith's parents came down last weekend to celebrate Keith's 35th birthday! (Today is is REAL birthday...Happy Birthday Spanky!) We wanted something fun to do and since it was Keith's birthday he choose the Genghis Khan exhibit at the Tech Museum. 
Although the exhibit was interesting and we now know little more about Genghis Khan, I was disappointed by the the lack of actutual artifacts related to GK himself.  They had many artifacts from his time and even a real mummy (that was cool). I am not sure I would pay $25 to go again.  The rest of the museum was fun to see, we watched the kids playing on all the exhibits, and even did some playing ourselves.  Next time we decided we want to go and see the IMAX movie. 

We followed up our museum visit with lunch at McCormicks & Schmicks's downtown. This was one of the worst meals I have had. So bad, I did not even eat it...yes, you read right, I, Dorothy, did not eat my lunch! I DO NOT recommend it!

Overall it was nice spending time with parents, and getting out of the house for a new adventure.  Next adventure i think should include a massage of some kind.  Just saying.

Views

Some days I am just not up for working.  

I really try. 

I come in, 

check my email, 

look at my in-basket, 

and decided if I  should work or maybe check Facebook.

Facebook usually wins.  

I follow up with blog updates check to see if anyone has posted anything new. 

Then I re-evaluate working.

 So, more or less, I can burn through a couple of hours.  

Recently we moved office buildings, and I finally got a window to the outside world.YAY

This is my lovely view!

Yes, I know it is a parking lot and an aluminum building, but there is sun air at my fingertips.


I also share close quarters with another special lady...a.k.a. MOM...
This is the view from my desk..."Mom!...surprise smile..." So she got the surprise not the smile. Hehe!
Then she asked if I was 'Boggeling' her. She cracks me up...

Back to work, or maybe I will just check Facebook one more time. 

Just kidding!

Over and Out

Wyatt...update

All is well with Wyatt.  He is home, not a 100%, but on his way.  The doctor diagnosed him with 'severe gastroenteritis".  He get to eat special wet food (gross for me), and take some (P.I.T.A.) meds that have to be dissolved in water and then syringed into his mouth, where it mostly just gets on everything around him. But, at least his is better.
(Keith  even gave up his spot on the couch because Wyatt wanted to lay there - SPOILED! - I kicked his butt out of my spot.)

Poor Baby

Our little baby Wyatt is having a rough couple of days.  Saturday night he starting throwing up non-stop.  Keith woke me up at 10AM Sunday morning to see if I thought we should take him to the ER.  When I looked out the window to see him, I asked Keith if he was breathing, he was laying sprawled out in the dirt and did not look good.
We took him to the ER where they placed him on an IV and starting giving him fluids and meds.  He spent the night, but we had to pick him up in the AM because the ER closes (don't ask).  We had to transfer Wyatt to his regular vet in Morgan Hill. 
Today  he spent the whole day at the Vet's office, and still no diagnosis. Wyatt needs 24 hour observation and the no one spends the night with the animals at the Vet's office- SO...we had to decide if we wanted to take him back to the ER for the night or bring him home and watch him ourselves. Well, $2000.00 later we decided we would watch him ourselves.
The doctor filled him with fluids and meds for the night, so it would last him until the morning. (It looks like he has a Double D breast implant on his back, full of fluid -it is kind of gross) She said if he starts to deteriorate we should take him to the ER right away.  I ask her what the signs of deterioration are and her response is:
1. If he starts throwing up non-stop
2. If he looks like he is going to die.
WTH really? He has looked like is going to die for the last 2 days...(deep breaths)

So, tonight we are on Wyatt watch... And, to put the icing on the cake his physco mom is taking pictures of him. (I know, I am a jerk- but they are so cute)

Sea Ranch

We headed to Sea Ranch with the Melo's for a long weekend.  The weather was a constant 58 degrees, the sky was grey and there was really not much to do.  The boys played golf, the kids played Wii, the girls read books.  We ate at some yummy bakeries, hit a winery/apple orchard, and we went to a wild animal reserve. Here are the highlights...

Backyard Beauties

We wanted to start our backyard project.  Unfortunately, Keith decided he was going to be the one to do it.  Keith, Dad, and some guys spent one whole Saturday just leveling half the dirt we need.  Needless to say, we did not get very far.  We are having company and I wanted to get the backyard  presentable.  I bought some pots, two awesome benches and got to planting. Vvvvwalllaaa.... backyard beauties

We had some grub and ice cream Oreo sandwiches, and then we said our good byes.
Thanks for the visit Paulsons!
