14. I think it’s 14. I think I last posted at 10 or 11. Yeah, well…you wanna make something of it? It’s HARD posting daily! I knew that going into VloMo, of course, but between work and a cold and having a life where not a whole hell of a lot happens makes for a dearth of moviemaking. Sometimes I feel like I have to give my life a jolt just so I can have something to vlog about.

Today we finally bought a new dishwasher. The one that came with the house bit it (of course) a month after its 7 year warrantee expired. We’ve done without for several months and now realize that we go through WAY more propane than we did before. No goodskees. Had to bite the bullet and spend the cash to save money in the long run.

Also, I hate doing dishes. Loathe. Brian and I have a general “I cook; you clean” agreement, but sometimes…well…you know how that can go.

More important than the dishwasher, though, is that the appliance store is down the road from Friendly’s! PATTY MELT! JIM DANDY!

Let’s take a break from the Palin Madness (oh, come on! Just a wee break…) to enjoy some calm, soothing, quiet time with some of the gentler dumber woodland creatures.

It’s lunchtime in the forrest. Let’s see who shows up.

Shhhhhhhh!

…and I won. Sort of. Technically I came in second, but really the 1st and 2nd place prizes were identical in value, but the 1st place winner got to choose which one they wanted.Not to put too fine a point on it (and not that it matters, because really it was all in good fun), but I was robbed. Robbed! I was robbed! My melon was SO much more bare than the winner’s! Ask anybody!

Nothing says “Summer” quite like a small-town County Fair. This was shot at the Barnstable County Fair in Falmouth, Mass. and is just the first of many fair excursions this year if I get my way. There’s still the local Ulster and Delaware County fairs, and then there’s The Big One (dood! Journey, Heart & Cheap Trick in ONE show?! Boston and Styx in ONE show? All that and corn dogs and kettle corn and sheep shearing AND giant butter and cheese carvings? Awesome.)
