Johnathan's....

So when my niece (who is now almost 18) was a child she used to call squirrel's Bruce's and Seagulls Johnathan's. Now I don't know where the Bruce idea came from but Johnathan's came from of course, Johnathan Livingston Seagull. I'm not sure how or why she came up with this in her little 4 yr old brain, but I hadn't though about it in years until I saw a seagull walking in the snow in Omak, WA. I made a comment to Honey about watching the Johnathan's. I'm not sure if she heard me/correctly or just blew it off as being not important (which it wasn't) and not needing clarification. So today while at Wendy's the Johnathan's made an appearence and I couldn't help but snap a picture of them in all their infinite wisdom yet ignorant all at the same time. Their little bird brains not even allowing them enough thinking power to move out of the way of cars or fly away from the 200+ pounds of Italian Mastiff wanting to eat them. In fact, one was so bold/stupid (depending on who you talk to) as to stand on one leg and stare at him. I wonder what he was thinking.....

Home....Day 1...

So today began the great pre-christmas adventure. I got up at 10 and talked to Dad for a bit then got ready to go....SHOPPING! By the end of the week I will have shopped EVERY DAY! I both love and hate christmas commercialism. I hate it because I think to a point its ridiculous and obscene even. I love it because I love giving gifts and seeing people's faces when they open something they weren't expecting or were wanting but never thought they would get. It's great....
We went to the base to the commissary and PX to get food. I got lots of yummy things I can't get out in Okanogan or even Washington. Then we had Wendy's...another thing that Omakanogan lacks. Big Boy had chicken nuggets and fries with us. Then we came home and set up the xmas tree. Big Boy thought that was great fun! After that was making dinner and online stuff. Mom came home and we had dinner and watched TV and were in bed by 10pm. I'm now laying in bed blogging and listening to an episode of the OFFICE. I love that show...we all have a little Dwight in us...UH! That's what she said....heh heh!
