I was called for jury duty the other day. I didn’t get picked. I didn’t even get called to a panel for the voire dire process. Several cases were settled and I was among prospective jurors sent home. Doesn’t matter to me whether I serve or not; I’m not a jury duty hater. I was amused when the bailiff made an announcement that someone’s car was in a judge’s space on the third floor of the parking garage and it would behoove that person to move the car ASAP. I guess it’s not good to piss off a judge. It’s also apparently a bad idea to piss off a veterinarian.
I shot that photo when Tim and I played fashion photographer to some Scout’s Honor dogs last week. They were saved from death row and OMG, CUTEST DOGS EVER. If you want to see some of their happy faces, check out the Scout’s Honor Flickr group where we share their photos. I’m assuming at least some of them, along with other great dogs, will be available at this weekend’s Scout’s Honor Adoption Day in the Heights, Saturday, May 1, from 10am to 3pm, at 1128 Heights Boulevard (between 11th and 12th Streets), Houston.
Just to entice you, a favorite of my photos:
Brew, totally posing for Tim.
April 28 is the birthday of my late friend Steve R, and as I have every year since he died, I enjoyed chocolate cake with friends. That’s what he did on his last birthday in the hospital in 1992, and I love honoring his life each year with the laughter and good feelings that exist among friends. The group around the table may change from year to year, but he’s always remembered.
However, I think you should know that anticipation can lead to jazz hands:
Kathy S, Tim, and Lindsey
Among our Christmas gifts from my sister Debby was a beautiful fantasy puzzle that Tom finished last week with very little help from the rest of us (although Lindsey, puzzle hater, did place three pieces, and I swooped in when all the hard work was done and found some key pieces to make myself look clever):
I shot this photo before I took it apart. I’m sending it and the Lord of the Rings puzzle we got last year from Rob E to Debby for her to do while recovering from back surgery. Because back surgery is not torturous enough. =) Get well soon to my favorite sister!
I enjoyed seeing your pictures…and I have to say. That is an adorable picture of Lindsey.

*jazz hands*
Some people can pull off jazz hands better than others. My stubby fingers don’t impress. =)
I can’t pull off jazz hands, either…
You may (or may not) be able to pull off jazz hands BUT you are a woman of many talents.
Including (but not limited to) taking awesome photographs, making your friends smile…and inspiring jazz hands.
🙂
Awww, thanks. =)
Awww *blush* =)
I’m a jazz hands jedi. One of my many talents. 😉
Seeing your picture really made me smile….
🙂
(See? It still does!)
I really like it and wanted to say as much.
I’m a jazz hands jedi.
Hee!
That comment made me laugh!
*grins*
Jazz hands jedi.
I’ll have to remember that one!
Speaking of jazz hands… are we gonna do a Glee party while the guys are here?
Rabbit trying to pull the carrot out of the cake is cracking me up for some reason.
Ha ha, me, too! Glad you noticed that.
That made me laugh, too.
Becky, your posts always make me smile 🙂 I love the puzzle, btw, and Brew is a handsome fella.
What a wonderful way to remember Steve R.
My gosh, Brew doesn’t have a smidgen of body fat! Glad to have someone else besides me trying to put that LOTR puzzle together. Wuv the wabbit!
How lovely that you remember your friend after all these years. I just have a drink to my late brother on his birthday.
Puzzles are the fucking spawn of Satan. Jazz hands however, are not. Spirit fingers FTW!
In other news? OMG, I clearly need more coffee…
You asked about Glee–I’m answering here so I won’t clutter up asterapallas’s phone with my comments. Since no one here watches Glee, I figured that would be the night y’all would hook up with Johnny, Matt, and Alan, since they love to watch it together. A convention of Gleeks! Is Glee on Tuesday night?
We need to talk about schedules. I’d love to do a birthday dinner for Rhonda either Sunday night or Monday night–whatever works better with all the other whirlwind activities that are planned.
Call–we’ll talk! Is the Manor ready? The Compound is still being overhauled. 😉
