Weekend Fun

So many blog-worthy things happened this weekend that just won't get their full justice done, simply because either I don't have the time to write a full post, or it was one of those times when you just had to be there. I will say, though, that I have not laughed so hard in a long time. It was that kind of laughing that makes your stomach hurt! I needed it badly, and cherished it dearly.

My girl Kells Bells... man she makes me laugh. She drives me nuts sometimes, don't get me wrong... but the girl is hilarious. She and her sister got into a fight this weekend on the front lawn that is about the funniest thing I think I have ever witnessed. They took it up the driveway, but Kells had to kick her flip flops off to better whip her sister's butt. The girls have just recently gone from the slapping-each-other-and-running phase of battle to the wrestle-you-to-the-ground-and-make-you-say-uncle phase, much to my delight. I get to be the one to lay on the floor, hit it three times, and lift Kells' hand up in the air in victory, because even though she's 3 1/2 years younger than her sister, she's definitely the superior in hand-to-hand combat.

By the by... Bill Nye the Science Guy... brilliant. Love him... his "dinosaurs" episode has Cliff Clavin in it... in character. Awesome...

Last night, there was a bit of family drama. Everything was okay with the humans, but let me tell you how cold it was in my bed last night. You see, Daisy Belle has an ear infection, and that means I have to put stuff in her ear to clean it out. The first time she got the ear infection, I went to the doctor and spent a gajillion dollars to get this ear-cleaner stuff and some fancy salve to put in the ear, but she promplty ate the tube of fancy salve, so we're down to the ear-cleaner stuff. Also, it turns out that if you just clean out the ear for a couple of days, the infection goes away and you don't have to go see the vet. So... last night I ventured under the bathroom cabinet and produced the bottle of ear-cleaner stuff. Then I had to go catch her, as she saw me with the ear cleaner stuff. After one H-E-double-hockey-sticks of a struggle, involving a blanket and my leg draped over her to pin her down, I got the gunk in her ear. That was only the beginning of the fun. I wish I had video capabilities to capture the flailing that ensued after the drops were in the ears. She rubs her head against the ground like she was trying to rub her skin off. Now, I hate it when my ears are wet, so I could sympathize...really, I could. It was just funny. Of course, when it was lights-out time, and I put her treat on the bed (yes I have to bribe my dog to come to bed with me...you wanna make something of it?!?!), she would have nothing to do with it. She hid under the bed and every few seconds let out a whimper. Furthermore, the little dickens waited until I had just fallen asleep to wake me up whining that she couldn't get up on the bed, what with all of the ear-medicine weighing her down. She's something else...
