F is for... Fatigue

I am tired, feeling somewhat grumpy. I love to problem solve; it's what really drives me, so when I encounter problems that I cannot solve it wears me out like nothing else. My fight or flight instincts really kick in, I get a headache and I find myself at loose ends. Gah!

Since I have written and deleted about five paragraphs, I think I'll just call it quits on F - fatigue was not my first F-word choice - and try to figure out what to post for today's photo of the day... which is "dirty".

Yes, I too thought that I could combine an F word and dirty into a post... but this is not that kind of blog ;)

Earlier this week we had a dust storm with just enough rain to make it stick to my car

Purple Hair! - #AtoZChallenge

There are a few things in play tonight...

1. I'm Tired. Yes, with a capital T. 
2. I need to go walk on the treadmill because I'm getting Fat. Yes, with a capital F.
3. Today's letter is P. The capital doesn't really mean anything. (You are so analytical!)
4. Today's photo challenge is hair.
5. I have always wanted to put purple streaks in my hair, or maybe just go all purple.

So I present to you... MrsPickle with Purple Hair!

Photo edits done on picmonkey.com :)

Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with my treadmill... joy... 

Empty - #AtoZChallenge #PhotoadayApril

I have spent the last hour trying to write an "E" post... and cleverly tie it into a picture of something tiny. I normally would have written today's post last night, but I was sick.

So, I've considered Engagement (both my own and in relation to social media), Ego, Envy, Embryo (Lenny's suggestion), Evil (my response), Energy (or the lack thereof), Eventually (a potentially deep post about things happening for a reason) and Ew (which is pretty much how my tummy still feels).

However, my brain is totally empty of original or interesting commentary tonight... so I leave you with this picture of tiny puzzle pieces and the idea that we're all just a piece of the puzzle in the grand scheme of things...

But someone lost the damn box top to show us what the picture is supposed to be! :)

G is for Goober

This is our dog Goober. His real name is Guinness, but we dubbed him Goober early on. He's a good, faithful dog who we love, even when he's grumpy - which is most of the time.

He just celebrated his 12th birthday. Happy Birthday Goober!

And this is Ginger, our Chocolate Lab. She'll be 3 in June. I had thought that labs were smart dogs, but alas I was mistaken. She's very loyal to food, sweet and we love her lots.
