Doctor Who

I am not a Doctor Who fan, but my husband is. So because I love him very much, when I heard there was going to be a Time Lord Fest in Tampa, Fl. I made plans to take him to it.

It was quite fun. Most of the costumes I saw were beautiful and very creative, and others made no sense to me at all because I don't watch the show. John was explaining most of the things that were happening, because again, I don't watch the show and apparently, you really have to to understand 90% of what's going on. :P

My camera is still acting up so we had to resort to Johns phone camera to get pictures so the quality stinks, but hey, pictures.




This was the first picture of the night, my proud hubby standing in front of the TARDIS. (It's bigger on the inside.) He was so happy to be there.

John with Doctor #5,(Tom Baker) definitely one of the best costumes there, at least I think so.

John with TARDIS from the episode "The Doctors Wife" Her costume was A-MAZE-ING. She is a costume maker from Orlando and the construction of her dress was jaw dropping. (I love this picture because Johns blushing, and thats just cute. :D)

I was really surprised that there was only one K-9 running around the place. I expected to see a few more, but hey, K-9!

Alright, I think I finally got this. This is a picture of.. A lady dressed as a TARDIS, with a tattoo of a TARDIS standing next to the living consciousness of the TARDIS, in front of the TARDIS. *pants* Right?

It was a long but fun night. We will be making plans to go again next year.

Bath Time

This weekend Duke was in a particularly cranky mood. When Duke is cranky, Duke is LOUD so making him happy or at least relaxed is a priority in the house, for humans and other birds.

There is a good side and a bad side of Dukes noise making. The good is that it makes Echo talk a lot more in soft smooth tones and sometimes it actually works in calming Duke down. The bad side is, he's freaking loud! Kenya has actually taken up to telling him to "Shut Up!" rather sternly.

So, for the sake of all of us with eardrums we had to distract him and fast. So impromptu bath time! Yey! And of course I took pictures. Double Yey!


Here Duke is displaying his back and wings for John who wields a pretty mean spray bottle.

*Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle* More water STAT!

Thats one wet chicken! Duke is actually comeing over to tell me that I am too close and he wants me to move back.

This is actually mid bath, he ended up soaked to the boane and happy as a clam. Thank goodness.

This weekend went from one extreme to another. Saturday was a pretty lazy day, some light shopping then a nice long nap and some husband snuggling. Sunday on the other hand was busy from the moment my poor husband opened his eyes.

First I really wanted to take Gunnar to the dog park. I am not sure why I wanted to, I usually get depressed at the dog park as I am kind of ignored and snubbed while my husband and my dog become the social butterflies of the park. But this time was different, all of us had a blast. Gunnar got to run around like the crazy moose-dog he is, and Hubby and I actually got to talk to other people, something that rarely happens.

Scarlett had to stay home since she tries to eat the other dogs at the dog park and their owners tend to frown at that.

Then once we got home and puttered around the house long enough for my poor husband to settle into the couch for what he hoped was a nap I sent him outside to talk to our neighbors about the nifty tree lift thingy they had brought home. This of course lead to my slightly scared of heights husband having to saw down tree branches from a secure but wobbly crane bucket. This did not make me happy but the now cleared branches will let in the morning light to my flower beds which makes me very happy.
