...the next time mommy has to run a shitload of errands? and is, therefore, out of the house all morning and part of the afternoon? try to be productive. make the most of that time, self, so you'll have something to blog about when she gets back. because, self, and i can't stress this point enough, you can be pretty lame on any given day--but never more so than after you've had a few hours to do nothing but loaf around the house, peruse other blogs, nibble on a treat or two, and take long, lazy morning naps.
if you had been on the ball, self, you'd surely have beat daddy to the idol "results" punch... and mentioned the fact that bucky's own fans finally recognized the error of their voting ways and bid him adios last night, while the rest of the viewing world heaved a collective sigh of relief. in addition, you'd surely have noted the fact that simon cowell may soon be changing 
his name to simon scowl... because, i swear to all that's holly hunter, he looks like he wants/needs to punch something/someone out! (but who? ...paula? ryan? bucky? the show producers who thought it would be a good idea to have these amateurs sing songs and/or be coached by the likes of scary plastic surgery victims barry manilow and/or kenny rogers? or musical icons stevie wonder and/or queen? which is impossible? so the kids are sure to pretty much suck every week? when in the past the producers would just pick a song genre for the kids? am i tired of raising my voice at the end of every sentence? are you listening, self? do you see what you've reduced me to? are you sorry? really? really and truly? can i stop doing this, now?).
here's what i'm trying to help you understand, self: you've been slipping all week, and should, therefore, consider yourself on "notice". ya hear me? snap out of this bloggy fog and get your bloggish act together! because--and you can quote me on this--there are plenty of other puppies out in the blogpound vying for attention... and, i hasten to add, plenty of folks willing to give it to 'em. of course, max and bobo cannot be counted among those puppies.
and, now that i mention it, i doubt there's another tibetan terrier that even approaches your level of cuteness. so, come to think of it, self, even tho' you're technically on "notice", you and i both know the chances of anything happening anytime soon are pretty much slim...and none. i mean, come on! you are, after all, you, self... and, as we both know...that beats a sharp stick in the eye, any day! end of note.

Hi!:)
Your blog is one of the funny and interesting things help me from being bored in the library :P (yeah, I'm back to the boring place again, after..1 day of being free!)
As for your question (will I want to go there and make an honest person out of 'the boy'?) Well...I would like to visit you and your family...but not for other reason...lol...because a)'the boy' has already got someone to make him out of 'the boy' :D and b) by the end of this month,I'm going to have a 'company' from Thailand...so..that's it...now, I wonder if...hmmm.. you still want me to visit you? ;)

Oh, I'm never productive when I have time off. I laze around too, and I'm not even the cat.
Good commentary on American Idol--I've never gotten around to watching, but it's fun to read about:)
--and it's really wild that you had the contact dream, too. It's creepy.

This is Idol's worse season yet. Bucky? That Blondie chick? I only like Taylor Hicks and Paris! I FF through everyone else!

awwww, don't be so hard on your Self, it's okay to be a cute dog. Bailey and Baxter will still want to sniff your butt any day of the week!

Oh, relax away and enjoy such lazy days so I can live them vicariously through you! Sleep... loafing around the house... my wildest fantasies (poor Loverboy! ;-P )...
As for American Idol, even though I do not watch it I do love reading about it here! As for Simon, I would love to join in on the punch fest with him... Ryan smiles way to friggin' much, the show producers need a good smack indeed as for the plastic people... well, I would be too scared of their faces ripping open so I think I will lay off them!

I think I need to start watching AI if only to be able to understand half the blog posts out there. Who says it's only middle American teenagers watching that show?

Don't be too hard on yourself... go to the spa, relax, get a massage or an ear scratching. You deserve it!

You have lots to say, and you say it well. I'm just catching up here. Blogger has not be kind to me of late.

Joy: thanks! (i think) : P
Joel: i'm "it" now, and you're "it"...next! xoxoxo
Jom: i love making you laugh! and you are ALWAYS welcome here--even tho' i think you'd make an excellent daughter-in-law (and i'd be your best-friend mom-in-law) you don't have to make an "honest man" out of the boy... altho' maybe with time you'll change your mind?? hope you have a beautiful visit with your "friend"! and a perfect weekend, too : D
Karen: you made me laugh out loud! and you're sooo right, puppyTOES make us happy!!: D
Actonbell: i'm not sure i'm ever productive...period! (sigh) and yeah--i actually feel better knowing i'm not the only one who's had that creepy dream... soooo weird! : )
Mommy on the Verge: thank the good lord bucky's finally off the show! i'm with ya on taylor, but doesn't paris kind of get on your nerves? i don't know, she's probably a terrific kid--and she can sing with the best of 'em, but something about her just annoys me. oh well... not much about this season that isn't annoying, come to think of it! : )
Schnoodlepooh: sophie & bobo would so love swapping butt-sniffs with your two guys! (sounds sick... but we know that's just what dogs do, right?) : P
Miz B: girlfriend! despite your yoga-leanings... i doubt you have many "sit still" moments! but laziness is sometimes an excellent thing--and something miss sophie is veryvery good at... we could all learn from the example she sets! : D
Mom101: trust me, the only reason the show's worth writing about is because it's so lame this year (it's the absence of much else that forces us to surrender to such shitty programming, in the first place!) but, yeah, based on who's still up there, i'm thinking more old folks watch the show than anyone else! : D
CJ: oh, sophie's all for the ear/belly scratching whenever she can get it! fortunately, we're always on hand to comply! : )
TLP: i know those blogger woes, girlfriend... and i feel your pain! sooooo sorry you've had to go through that... hopefully those blogger guys will get their act/shit together soon, and spare you anymore angst! : D
