March Snow March 28, 2009
This is what it did today in Tulsa. Tomorrow it is supposed to be 55 degrees. Crazy!
Sophie enjoyed a chocolate-covered raisin!
Here is Sophie feeling tall on a mattress we had propped up on a wall!!
This week Sophie supposedly ate a chocolate covered raisin. I did not see it with my own eyes, but my neighbor children said they saw Sophie eat it! Raisins are very toxic to dogs. Some dogs are immune, but you should never give you dog raisins or grapes. And as you all know, dogs are not supposed to have chocolate. I didn’t want to alarm my neighbors, so I played it off like it was no big deal. When I got home, Sophie appeared fine but I decided to call the vet just in case. I called the vet, and he said she should be fine if it was just one. They told me to bring her in should she start vomiting, acting lathragic, or not acting like herself.
As you can tell, she survived…and enjoying life…a little too much…
Hallslatt, Austria
Wow!! Isn’t this beautiful? I have a travel images application on my igoogle and this popped up this week. 
Here are some more pictures of this beautiful place I didn’t know existed!!
Here is interesting information about Hallslatt and pronunciation.
Drop Box February 23, 2009
This is my newest favorite computer gadget.
https://www.getdropbox.com/screencast#screencast
It is so cool. I can access any of my files from my home computers virtually on any computer with an internet connection. Also, all of my files are autmotically synced between my home computers. Meaning, if I write a report for school on my laptop, I can access the file on my desktop and the changes will automatically be made to the laptop file. This may get cofussing, so getdropbox.com gives you ability to view previous versions of the same file. Best of all, this little ditty is free. Yes, free up to 2GB. This has been a lifesaver several times already when I needed to print something from home, but I didn’t have my laptop at school. Another time, I needed to update a computer project, so I changed the file from a school computer and printed it.
Homemade Espresso February 22, 2009
My husband made this for me this evening with our Via Venezia from Starbucks!! I think he could work at Starbucks! LOL He even picked out that cup recently!
It was very tasty, and hopefully it will help me finish all my homework before 12am!
Lots of Progress!! February 4, 2009
The house progress…
That house is where I saw the man urinating…
The new lights on the new gate which I really like and almost got run over trying to take a picture of.
Our Christmas Present February 3, 2009
For Christmas we got a Traeger grill!! It is a pellet grill that: Smokes, Barbecues, Grills, and Bakes. My parents have had one for years and love it. We got a Junior size so it will fit on our small porch.
Here are the pellets. The cool thing is, you can buy different types of pellets to go in your grill to give your food a slightly different taste.
The Traeger dealer here in Tulsa (Hanlon’s Fireplace and Patio), has Traeger grills in the shape of a giant pink pig and a black charing bull. They are hilarous!
Green Grocery Bags February 2, 2009
This morning in Target I saw more than five carts full of reusable grocery bags. Way to go Tulsa!! We are saving the environment one plastic bag at a time here in Tulsa. This is the first time I have ever seen more than one person with reusable grocery bags. Being green is the new chic. Get on board!
