So, yesterday Scott surprised me by making a play date for Cooper last night so we could actually go out and be normal people. He took me to our first Washington Nationals baseball game! Man does that team suck. But, it was fun to just go sit, watch some baseball, see the craphole that is RFK Stadium, and drink some beers. We had a really interesting crowd sitting by us that was pounding beers just as fast as we were (which always makes the evening interesting...) and I learned some very important things from the deep thinking crew sitting next to us, such as:
"Frank Thomas is like the Pauly Shore of baseball!" (i don't even know what the hell that is supposed to mean)
and
"You could be fat, be a drunk, or smoke rocks, it's all about loving the game, man!"
I know, those are some profound words. So we leave the game, and go pick up the dog. We hear that the dog was just so good, he just sat around and watched tv and acted all cute!! Man, he puts on a good show. We take the little bastard home and there he goes, biting and chewing and being all rowdy. But...he's still my cute puppy.
And, here are pictures to prove that we were there. This lady does not tell a lie.
The huge ass crowd at RFK (LOL)

Melly Libs #1 WINNER
Victory goes to: NitaBallz! Who came in from behind with a very late entry to sweep the field. Now this is an impressive piece of work, folks. Wax, loincloths, and Britney with an umbrella? Utterly amazing.
Melly Libs a la Nita:
Today, I went to the brazilian wax salon. I saw this crazy person who was wearing a loincloth and wax. The crazy person saw me staring at them and I quickly turned and walked away, but I did it so quickly, that I ran straight into a wax boy and found myself completely covered in hot wax . The crazy person laughed at me and went about their business. So here I am, walking around in the brazilian wax salon covered in wax, and who do I happen to see, but Robin Williams !! Great. Robin Williams walks right up to me and says, “is everything going okay with you today?” With a crazy look in my eye, I say, “Sink the sub. Hide the weasel. Park the porpoise. A bit of the old Humpty Dumpty, Little Jack Horny, the Horizontal Mambo, hmm? The Bone Dancer, Rumpleforeskin, Baloney Bop, a bit of the old Cunning Linguistics? ”, declare the day a complete bust, and go home and pop open a Heineken. As I drink my cold and tasty beverage, I hear a loud noise outside and go to the window to investigate. Suddenly, I see brittany spears with an umbrella, and my face goes completely white...
Hopefully Melly Libs #2 will soon follow!!

Currently...
...it is 95 degrees and the UV index is "very high".
...my puppy is getting bigger. a lot bigger. i need to post new pictures of him.
...i'm watching the Barefoot Contessa make french onion soup. i frigging love french onion soup.
...i wish i could afford a nice BMW convertible.
...i still can't believe we celebrated our 4 year anniversary yesterday.
...i think that i am getting so bad at updating my blog, and that people have probably stopped reading it.
...i'm wondering why it is nearly impossible for me to stay awake through an entire movie--whether at home or in a theatre.
...i wonder how many people pronounce the word "coupon" "coo-pon" vs. "cue-pon". I pronounce it "coo-pon" since that's how it is supposed be prounounced.
...i also wonder if there is any good pizza to be had in all of NoVa. I know, there is some decent pizza in DC but I'm talking about like, driving down the street and getting it.
...it would be so great to have some chocolate mousse. damn that barefoot contessa.
...i wish Amber much congratulations on her new jobs!
and finally, my public service announcement of the day...
...you should not use products from China. I know, you are probably thinking yeah come on they can't be so bad, one or two bad seeds just got into the news and people made a big deal. Yep, i thought the same thing. Then i read THIS. Go read those labels.

Le Puppy!!!
Well, we ended up getting a boy puppy instead of a girl, but he's just as cute. I won't re-hash the night we spent at the animal hospital with him last night, just 5 hours after we picked him up, nor will I say how much that cost. Just look at him :-) His name is COOPER!
