HICCUPS! They always seem to come at the worst moment. Trying to fall asleep, in the middle of an important test, at the movies...
Every person seems to have their own tricks that they believe will cure the nuisances. One of my personal favorites is pinching your earlobes. (No, it's not crazy!)
What are some of your remedies?

my trip to the zoo
The other day a few friends and myself went to the Zoo. (Too bad Ashley Simpson cancelled… ha!) It was a lot of fun. We saw tigers, and lions, and bears… Oh my! (But not the polar bears… they were inside.) We were heading out of the reptile house where the main stage is and we look at the sign: Dog Show, 3:00. It just so happened to be 2:54 so the gang headed in and took our seats. This was the saddest dog show I have ever seen. They had an obstacle course set up with loops to jump through and a seesaw… So we figured something big was going to happen…WRONG! Brad, the host of the event, comes out and gets us all hyped up, then, he brings out a dog. He just asked it to sit & stand. Then Brad sent the dog back in. Next, he brings out a pig and a chicken (I think he missed the memo about it being a dog show) The pig twirled a paintbrush around, and the chicken hopped over a pole. For the big finally, Brad calls out the final animal to run through the course, I felt so sorry for this dog! The poor thing trots out to the center of the ring and sits down. After Brad coaxing the dog to get back up and get to his mark, the dog moseys on over, and somberly goes through his routine. It was depressing.
But overall, the Zoo was a lot of fun! I do remember it being bigger the last time I was there, that was second grade though…

should i bring it back?
For my faithful blog readers who have been with me from the begining you will know what I am talking about, but for the rest of you, when I first started my blog I had a photo of the day. Over time it just slowly dwindled down, but today I was looking through some of my old blog files, and it made me think of restarting it. Thoughts?

Verse:
"But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." Galatians 6:14
What does this mean to you? Only boast in the Cross.

Friend? Oh, I don't think so. At first glance you may think that that they are just a few dogs, but they are a little more dangerous. Night after night these mongrels barking and howling awake my family. Or even by Ryan running through the house at 4 in the morning yelling, "Dad! Get the shotgun, their by the house!" (Not a pleasant thing to wake up to...) They become a constant worry when you have dogs. Our 120 pound golden is probably safe, but our 18 pound bichon... Cody wouldn't even have a chance. The point of my post: Anyone want to go coyte huntin?

MUY bien
The movie exceeded my expectations for it. Although a bit of a down fall was it being around two and a half hours long, and a few of the people who came in my group thought it dragged on a bit. How can someone say that? Johnny Depp was on the big screen!!! I would recommend seeing the movie, the twists... crazy! I don’t want to give anything away in it, so go see the movie, then come and talk to me about it. I can’t wait for the POTC 3!

explosions
Happy Fourth of July
It's that time of year again, people flock to the store to buy them. How is it that so many people take pleasure in seeing something 
blow up? I have to admit that I myself fall into this category. Whether it being a magnificent display in the sky, an Aflac stuffed animal, or a pillow person, something in a lot of us just like to see things blow up. I don't get it... So this holiday, be safe. Don't catch any houses or each other on fire.

Jack is back! ...Jack Sparrow that is, sorry Bauer
I am excited to see this movie, but I am a bit afraid that it will not be up to par with the first one. Usually, Disney sequals are a bit of a let down, thoughts?
