Alec Baldwin and Jerry Seinfeld - Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee

Just a Lazy Shiftless Bastard - Alec Baldwin - Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee

I have watched this video probably a dozen times now - Alec Baldwin is a very funny conversationalist and mimic. Like me, he has a bit of a potty mouth; I'm trying to reform myself. Kate's question at our stand-up meeting at work today was what alternate words we use to swear. I started using the word fudgecicle to replace the f-word. The phrase that a few folks use that cracked me up was "shut the front door" instead of "shut the f-up". I had never heard that and thought it was pretty funny.

Early August Happenings

I haven't been posting very much lately, because the weather has been so nice, I've wanted to get out in it. I've been working a little on sanding and oiling the last several sections of the desk. I really want to get it ready to put it all back together this winter.

I kind of forgot I took these pictures until I took the memory card out of my camera to download a few things. Sometimes when you are taking pictures it's hard to tell exactly how something is going to turn out and I was very pleased with these pictures of this little frog on the Hydrangea outside my back door. I love these little frogs, and sometimes unfortunately, so do the cats. They like to paw at them and make them jump, but Munchkin killed one the other day when he kept carrying it around in his mouth from one place to another. I know that he doesn't always mean to hurt things, for him it's curiosity mostly.

Around The Corner Picnic

So last Sunday Mother Nature co-operated and we did not get rained out for a second year in a row for our annual picnic at Hovander Park in Ferndale. We had a fairly decent sized group attend. And Denise made us all happy with double frosting on the Hershey's Chocolate Cake....

The gardens around the house are something I look forward to seeing, and this year did not disappoint.
I don't know the names of everything I took a picture of, I just snapped away...

I thought the color of these was pretty cheerful.

I loved these two next to each other. I think it's Lavender next to those intense pink roses. The roses look like the one I have in the back yard, except for mine is white, and HUGE.

I love this Arbor that they built in front of the house. I think it has Grapevine growing on it, I'm not sure. I would like an English style garden that had one just like it with Wisteria growing on it.

This is the family they put together in the children's Storybook garden. I still don't know exactly why they call it that, but it's still a nice addition to the park.

Usually the Lace Cap Hydrangea is in full bloom by this time of year. When it is, it is so beautiful.

My Sweet Pea's are finally up to the full height of the spiral trellis I planted them on. And I'm finally getting more than just one bloom at a time too.

I hope that since it took so long to finally get nice, that we at least have nice weather all the way through September to make up for it!

Zooey Deschanel & Joseph Gordon Levitt

This is such a fun video that I ran across on You Tube this week. I like their chemistry.

When the video is done, the other one I recommend will be in the bottom left hand corner of the next grouping of "related" videos. It is the two of them singing "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?"
I didn't know that she sang until her duet of "Baby It's Cold Outside" with Will Ferrel in "Elf". I think she has a good voice, but is still finding her groove so to speak.
