randomness

So amidst all the main things I blog about, the undercurrent of life is always going on here at the Walkerville home. Sometimes it's more of an electrical overload with fuses blowing all over tarnation. But I'm sure you know what I mean. So this post is about some of the things that have been flying under the radar lately, so to speak.

First off, the above pic, which has been slightly mutilated, is my very first paycheck from ZAGG. WAHOOO!!! When they e-mailed me to say they were sending me a check, I didn't believe them. I thought, I'm actually going to make some money at this? People are really going to want my photos made into skins for their cell phones and laptops? And then I thought, okay, the check will be like 40 cents. Let's just say I was stunned. And I've had another check since then that has surprised me. And that's with my teeny tiny miniscule percentage. So ZAGG, I am making you a truckload of moola. You're going to have to up my percentage pretty soon, baby. Just sayin' :)

5 pages of fun skins peeps! check 'em out!!! 

I also thought it would be *hysterical* to actually offer a REAL skin over at Zagg. A potato skin. Or not. 

my trumpet vines started to bloom in my yard again and they are sooo pretty! 

in fact, we had such a wonderful spring and *everything* was blooming!

my Martha Washington geraniums were so lovely... until one day it hit 100 degrees and fried everything :( 

the Mouse in John's Mini Cooper - the car he mainly learned to drive in... actually, the Mouse has been known to drive just about anything he could get his paws on... my Bug, his brothers' trucks, quads, motorcycles, tractors. 

the moral of this story is to never let the Mouse have your keys or let him "move your car" for you :/

the Mouse and his friend Brett as human yearbooks on the last day of 8th grade/junior high! on to High School!

Aw, my little Angel :) I don't often take many pics of Angel because she's just not as photogenic as Luna is, nor is she as hysterical as Luna. But she's such a sweet little girl and I love her so dearly. And now that it's really warm here, she and her heavy, heavy coat of fur are really shedding. She doesn't like being brushed very much but I know she's miserable. She tolerates it because she loves the attention. Both she and Luna will be bathed and shaved soon, but in the meantime, poor little Angel is drowning in her own insulation. 

I thought perhaps I could make a 3rd dog out of the fur I'm getting from Angel. What do you think? Any thoughts? This is about the third bundle of fur that I have aquired from Angel's hind quarters. And no, I'm not exaggerating. Yes, I know I'm know to exaggerate. But this is the absolute truth. I only regret not keeping the other masses of fur - I could have found someone to spin it for me and at least make it into a skein of Angel yarn :/

Speaking of pets, Davy has the crankiest, naughtiest kitty on earth. Yesterday Davy and I had to get up early and drive across the entire state of California in order to get to an appt. before the traffic was stopped for the rest of the month. Normally, I have a rule that I am not allowed to start my day until my bed is made and my scriptures are read - blah, blah, blah. That was not going to happen yesterday. So everything went well and we finally got back home, and WHO do I find nestled all snuggly and cozy inside my bed, right on my SHEETS? Exactly.

WHAT.

Last pic of the day....... Sometimes I just can't help myself! tee hee hee :D
