Too much beer, too much work, too much dilation and two dogs.

When I last left you I was getting ready to head to the Oregon State Shoot.  This was the first time in almost 12 years that I had gone with just my Dad.  We've always had either my husband, my brother, my mom, and myriad friends either with us or camped near us.  This year the turbo went out on our truck so Brown-Eyed man wasn't able to take out fifth wheel to the gun club for me and he had to stay home and work on the truck.  Dad graciously offered to take his trailer there for me and I asked him to stay.   Of course, we had a great time.  The only draw-back being that we drink too much when we're together.  My god, we drink beer and chitty chat like a couple of hens.  Then we fall asleep at 7:30.

In addition to Dad and I, we had the two black labs, Belle & Clover.  It was a 24 hour non-stop dog raslin' match going on in that trailer.  They managed to stand still for this photo.  But not for the next one:

Belle looks like one of those African people with the plates in their lips.  Clover looks awesome as usual.  We walked on leashes about twice a day and it was a giant pain in the neck, but a great workout.  Of course we got the obligatory "Who's walkin' who? Hardy har har" about 45 times a day.  Boy that one never gets old does it?

Here is a little hint in case you have a puppy who is doing well at crate training.  DO NOT TAKE THEM ANYWHERE WITHOUT THE CRATE.  I thought it would be too crowded.  Holy cowbells that dog moves around a lot in the night.  Of course, we're in a gun club parking lot and there are trailers and motor homes every ten feet so and most of the people there don't pass out fall asleep at 7:30 so their wandering around and Clover has to see what each of them are doing.  Lucky for her there is is window right by my head:

Oh hey, there is someone over there now!

In other news, my head-hunter adventure has come to an end.  I told them I was not interested in interviewing for the position.  Was it the right decision?  I have no idea.  I just know I feel much better after making the decision.

Now I'm home and glad to sleep in my own bed.  Actually glad to not start drinking beer at 2 p.m. and The Girl made chicken fajitas last night for supper so I was a happy girl.  Lastly, I had an eye exam today.  I'm not sure if you've had your eyes dilated lately, but it makes work exceptionally difficult.  I am a total stoner, I have to hold my head about 3 inches from the computer screen and it looks like I have rosacea and forehead wrinkles.  Great.
