I am absolutely in love with this little horse.  ;D Sweet as can be and so handsome. I have a soft spot for black horses.

Dear husband made some of his sweet raisin bread and it smells/is so delicious.  Omnomnomnomnomnom.

You know, we'll take more pictures of cute little horses any time. Just sayin'  ;D

I know, but it is nasty and rainy here. :( He needs a bath and a clip. It is supposed to be nice Friday, so hopefully I will get him cleaned up.

I had a few very fun hours working with people (so much fun I'd barely call it work), I saw a friend today for a while, and my cat has been deliriously happy playing with a plastic spring/coil. She is utterly adorable.  :D

My cats love the plastic ring from milk jugs.

Aw, cute! Alas, milk does not come in jugs, here. Only milk in bags or cartons.

I still can't get used to the milk bags here. Crazy Ontario with your crazy bags-o-milk!  :P

Milk in a bag! Do they look like boobys?  :D

Funny (to me) story:  While I was in the Air Force, I was stationed in Honduras on a Honduran base with an U.S. Army presence and a smaller AF presence.  JTF Bravo is the name if anyone finds it of interest.

I decided to try the few Honduran-run "fast-food" joints on base a few days in.  I ordered my meal and a coke.  As they handed me my meal, the person asked if I was eating in or taking it with me.  I said I was taking it.  She took the coke (a glass bottle coke) and proceeded to pour it into a sandwich baggie.  One of those old school baggies in which you simply flip the bag inside itself to "close" it.  She put a straw into it and spun the baggie around the straw and handed it to me.  I stood there in utter amazement!  I had never had a coke "to go" in a baggie with a straw in it.

I had to laugh as I walked away.  Their glass bottle recycling is serious business there.  :)

LOL!!  :D

Now the question du jour: did you try to drink the coke out of the baggie?

Generally speaking, if you tell someone over here 'I have coke in a baggie', you'll have police officers asking you some odd questions.   ;D

No  >:( Boobies I could understand. Their current design is just infuriatingly hard to manage.


I've been here for 8 months now and I still don't like them. >:(

DJ, been here my whole life and I don't like the design. I worked in a store for a while that sold these bags, and they'd rip and leak all over the place!

One reason to be cheerful, though: we once locked my boss in the milk cooler and made him moo like a cow until we'd let him out.
