AARP

ok, so for about 3 months now, I have been recieving invitations to join AARP.

I realize I am getting older....but come on!!! So, today I wrote a short note to the "no faced person who keeps pestering me with great incentives if I join AARP NOW!!!" My note said the following:

I happen to be a huge fan of AARP and would love to be a member, so if you could get back to me in 15 years, 2 months, and 8 days (when I am actually old enough to recieve the benefits), I'd be most appreciative!!!

Thank you for your time

Amy


Not sure if it will help, but I can hope!!!

Man's best friend???


Looking at the two innocent faces above, one would be lead to believe that they are the source of constant joy in my otherwise boring life.......such was not the case yesterday!!!
The local animal league had a Rabies drive, where you could go and get your pet's rabies vaccine for 8 dollars, (You pet owners out there know what a great deal this is) so of course it was the perfect day to take my two loyal companions to get updated.

Having traveled quite a bit in the past, they both were excited and jumped right in the car, we drove the short distance to the clinic and got in line to pay. They were both excited and wanted to sniff everyone else there (including one feral cat who almost took off a chunk of Gus' nose!).

After paying we went to the outdoor canopied area where the vaccines were being given....and honestly it happened so fast, I missed it....but my 10 year old terrier (the white one) lifted his leg and PEED on the Vet's shoe!!!!!
I was MORTIFIED!!!! The vet was a little aggravated but smiled and kind of joked about it.....then as he bent down to kind of brush his shoe off, my other little darling, the 6 year old Japanese chinn who is so quiet and docile that my mother swears he has no personality,turned around (and I kid you not), and crapped at the vets feet.

At this point, I wanted to crawl under a bush and cry! The vet tech was laughing, the vet was not, the poo stunk, and the two young boys that were helping out kept saying "oh gross! P.U.!!!" finally,one of the boys went and grabbed the "pooper scooper" and took the mess out of the way, and the other quit fanning his nose.

I swear to you....my dogs looked up at me adoringly, and smiled!! I am almost sure of it.
