Snow… school… snow… no school!

So.. this morning when we woke up, it was snowing!! It’s really the only substantial snow we’ve had this year that has “stuck.”

We checked the news website and school was NOT canceled. The boys were not happy.

As of 7am, school was still on for the day… AT loaded up a very sad MastaG and took him to school.
Juicebox made the best of the snow before he had to leave for school. (Note: The car is AT returning from dropping MastaG @ school).

Juicebox loaded up in the car and went to school. 20 minutes later, AT returns home..Juicebox in tow… the elementary schools are now closed.
As AT’s rehashing a story about stupid Tennessee drivers in the snow, MastaG calls.. as of 7:35am, all the city schools are out for the day.
AT goes to pick up a very happy boy.

The boys have enjoyed a cold morning, playing in the snow before it all melts.




And the dogs joined the snow eating, too.

Then everyone came inside to defrost and eat some warm breakfast. Juicebox chased his snow with 5, yes FIVE, pancakes and some bacon…
And MastaG? He ate about half of a pancake and a piece of bacon…. He wasn’t hungry. He had breakfast at school this morning.

Bad Customer haiku
February 24th, 2008

Rules I want to post:
Do not yell at the cashiers,
they don’t make the rules.
If you don’t want it,
put it back where you got it,
not just anywhere.
Buy 1, Get 1 Free
Means: 2 for the price of 1
It’s really easy.
Yes, you have to have
A receipt to return things.
Like you didn’t know…
You don’t need a pet
of any size, shape or form
if you’re a DUMMY.
DUMMY = one
who steals a snake or ferret
down inside his shirt.
Stealing and leaving
the box on the shelf, does not
mean you are sneaky.
It is really sad
that you might steal some catnip,
It’s dried leaves. Grow some!

Volcanic dreams
February 22nd, 2008
by Atomictumor
Juicebox woke up this morning and told me that he had a bad dream, one of volcanoes and ‘blowing up’. He then proceeded to impart upon MastaG and myself his extensive knowledge of volcanoes.
He told us that there is lava in them. He told us that lava is bad news. He told us that they grow up out of the ground, and that they’re very dangerous, and that you don’t want to be near one. He told us that they make mountains.
He told us that there are girl volcanoes and boy volcanoes. The girl volcanoes are the ones that have closed up and don’t shoot lava out.
The boy volcanoes are the ones that do.
Hmm.

I think I’ve been having nightmares myself. It involves being in a large crowd, maybe at an anticipated outdoor music festival, and hearing the incredibly amplified voice of Metallica’s James Hetfield say “WHO CAME TO BONNAROO TO HEAR SOME FUKKIN METAL?!?!?!?“
They then proceed to play some fukkin metal and chase me with RIAA lawyers. I escape, only to be blocked by Eddie Vedder, wearing a polo shirt and brandishing golf clubs.
I wake up screaming. I managed to convince the Ladyfriend that it was just another giant robots dream.
Theres no need to put something this heavy on that girl…

The Wedding Invite
February 20th, 2008

We couldn’t find an invitation we liked… so we made it ourselves. The best part was dropping those bad boys at the post office.
What we REALLY want to know is “what did the man just say to the lady?”

A little problem.
February 19th, 2008
by Mrs Eaves
A while back, I noticed that Camera Shy was getting Google hits on some….less than desirable….search terms. Curious to find out why, I clicked on some of the searches and found little tidbits like this:

Okay.
I don’t necessarily like folks searching for such lovelies ending up on my site, so I told Wordpress to block my site from all search engines. Lo-and-behold, the explicit searches keep coming (while legitimate searches are indeed blocked).
Can someone out there help me understand why this is happening, and perhaps even help me to fix it?
