And God created dog

This is one of the best emails I have gotten in a long time.  I am a dog person so I loved this and the last line is exactly why I’m not a cat person.  Enjoy!!!!

The Story of Adam & Eve’s Pets

Adam and Eve said, ‘Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.’

And God said, I will create a companion for you that will be with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.’

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. And it was a good animal and God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail And Adam said, ‘Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.’

And God said, ‘I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.’   And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them. And they were comforted And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, ‘Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.’

And God said, I will create for them a companion who will be with them and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration.’

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.  And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat’s eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings. And Adam and Eve learned humility.  And they were greatly improved. And God was pleased . . . .. . . And Dog was happy. . . . . And Cat didn’t give a shit one way or the other….

Planning a party for the kids

I told you that Jacey’s brothers kids have a birthday coming.  Well they are planning a special birthday party.  They were thinking about a pool party since they do have a swimming pool with a cover on it that heats the water. That way the kids won’t freeze their hineys off. I told them about this web site that is a great help in party planning.  They have great suggestions on theme parties, Fathers Day parties and other types of holiday parties.  I use them all the time when I’m trying to plan a party because they have some great ideas.

Not only do they have great ideas, they have recipes too for things like a graduation cake, Fathers Day cupcake decorations and much more.  They think of all the things you wouldn’t or don’t sometimes.  They will tell you the best wine for your party, decoration ideas, menu ideas, and even decorating tips  for the party.    I have used them for bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties and just about any type of party I was planning.  I had a great New Years Party thanks to them.  Everyone was ranting and raving saying I was such a good hostess and threw a great party.  I just smiled and said “Thank You!”

Jayce’s brother is putting up a swing set

Jayce just asked me to go with him to his brothers this weekend.  See, it’s their daughters birthday and their son’s birthday is only two weeks after that so they have gotten them a great swing set for their birthdays.  They’re not having their birthday party for another week I think he said.  That way they can do the together but the swing set is for both of them but given on her birthday.  Swing sets are great for kids in the summer.

We always had either a swing set or at least a tire swing if not the whole set.  Tire swings are a lot better than the ones we had.  Ours was just an old tire tied on a string.  We had to watch out for water getting in them and other stuff too.  These you don’t have to worry about that at all.  They carry all sorts of safe playground equipment, swings and swing sets of all types and sizes including tire swings, swing n gliders, daycare supplies and playground accessories too.

Lousy weather

Well yesterday it rained most of the day and not today, it’s dreary and chilly on top of it.  This is the type of weather that’s only good for one thing and that’s laying around the house watching movies or listening to some good music with a nice pot of homemade soup in the slow cooker.  I don’t know where the heck spring when it sure left here.  Hopefully it will be back tomorrow but I haven’t watched the weather to know.  Guess I’ll find out later on what I need to wear to work tomorrow.  The way it feels right now, I would say a coat!!!

They’re installing new software at work

They just told us Friday that when we come back in Monday, they will have some new software installed that will not only help the office, but will help each of us individually and as a group.  Sometimes we have a project that we work on as a team and if we’re under a tight deadline, then we have to work on it over the weekend to get it completed in time.  Well this new software is going to be a huge help with that.  It’s a remote access software that will allow computers to ‘hook up’ to each other.

One of the best features of this software is the fact that if you’re having computer troubles, they can fix the problem by hooking up to another computer and fix it from that computer.  Anything from configuration issues to what ever else can go wrong and you know how computers can be sometimes.  I really think mine is a blond as goofy as it acts from time to time.  Another great thing about this software is the fact that PROXY Pro 6 Workstation Edition uses authentication and fine-grained permissions to make sure that only authorized technicians can access remote computers. It also has state-of-the-art 256-bit encryption which ensures that all communications are private and secure so you won’t have to worry that just anyone can access your computer.

We had a great time last night

Jayce took me to a really nice restaurant and we had a great meal.  Then we went over to his brothers house (who just happens to be a police officer)  and played cards for a few hours.  It was nice to meet his family.  His brother is a really nice guy.  So is his wife and their two kids.  They have a boy and a girl that are just the cutest and sweetest kids I have been around for a long time.  We left a little early so the kids would go to bed but that was okay.  They were really nice to me and I really enjoyed meeting them.  In fact, we had a great evening and I hope there are many more.

You learn something new every day

Jayce just told me last night that his brother is on the police force.  I really admire anyone that is in the military or on the police force because they put themselves in harms way to protect us.  One thing that blew me away is the fact that the police department doesn’t provide all of the tactical gear that they need.  Jayce was telling me that his brother gets most of his 5.11 Pants and other tactical gear online.  They have just about everything that a police officer would need to protect them and be able to carry the gear they need.  Anything to keep them safe is the way I feel about it especially since they put their lives on the line every day.

That was him!

Jacey just called and said that since it’s raining, maybe we should go see a movie or something.  I was so afraid he was going to back out on me.  I haven’t dated in awhile and I sort of feel like a high school girl who’s excited about a date with the quarterback of the football team.  Silly huh?  Well I think so too but it does sort of feel good at the same time.  He’ll be here about 12:30 and then we’ll decide what movie we are going to see.  Wish me luck that the date goes good.

Mom came over an saw the planters I have

Well as you should know by now, my mother is redoing just about everything inside and out at her house.  She came over last night and was commenting on the planters I have my plants in and decided she needed some new planters for her plants too.  One of the things she’s looking for the I love are window box planters.   I think they look great on a house especially when they have the type of plants that hang out of them.  Of course she’s wanting to get some high end planters because only the best is good enough for my mother.

We went online and she found some really nice decorative planters she wants for her inside plants.  Then she saw the outdoor planters and came up with all sorts of ideas of what to put in them.  She wants some of the garden planters for her patio too.  Not too many but just enough to grew a few herbs in.  She loves fresh herbs.  Then she went back to the indoor planters and picked out a couple of them.  She’s definitely on a buying streak.  I have to admit that I love the decorative planter she picked out for her living room.  It looks great.
