Well fellow SITS-ers I wanted to share a funny in my lil town of 2 miles by 2 miles. Not a big place but lots can happen in these lil towns.



This afternoon I was pulling onto the east end of town when I witnessed the most funniest thing I have ever seen. The Animal control officer was chasing a little black dog down the street with his lights flashing. Another city worker was behind him and every time the dog catcher would try to run that poor little dog up on the curb the other city worker would try and cut him off! I saw people standing in their yards shaking their heads in amazement! Came close to seeing two wrecks! Lucky no one was hurt. They chased that dog all the way down to the South side of town! Lights still flashing! I thought to myself does that little dog even know that he is fleeing from an officer does he even care? Poor dog was either scared or thinking "wow new playmates!"



I believe that if he had gotten out of the truck and called the dog it may have come to him! It was so funny! I kept looking for TV Cameras. I thought surely if Disney was shooting a movie here we would have read it in the paper! Dog in question crossed the highway, dashed across the parking lot between us and the car wash with the Animal Control truck hot on his heels. As the truck had lights flashing and was in "hot pursuit". You would think that they were herding cows or something. I think they need to give the dog catcher a scooter like the one advertised on Mall Cop only equipped with a fishing net so he can just scoop him up! Or just give the job to the wicked witch of the west you know the one with the bike with a basket on the back! "I'll Get You My Little Pretty! And Your Little Dog Too!"



The most hilarious part was when the dog catcher almost wiped out a chicken standing in the road! Wasn't the chickens time to go obviously. Too funny! I suspect he may go back tomorrow and get that chicken if he didn't die from heart failure and ended up on someones dinner table!! He was hell bent on catching that dog! Are you ready for the funniest part? The last time I saw the dog and the dog catcher and the other city worker they were headed down toward the square! By this time they were putting in some overtime. Funny thing, about half an hour later I went to the bank for change and saw the same dog hoofing it back without the Animal Control truck anywhere in sight. Guess "head 'em off at the pass" only works in old Western movies!! I don't know the outcome but that little dog was kicking up some dust I tell you!




But on a more serious note...It was a miracle the little fella didn't get run over crossing the highway! I don't know if that is standard procedure or not but it seemed sort of senseless. Sounds like they were just exercising the dog. Maybe it's a daily ritual. But I am rooting for the dog! Anyway just thought I would share!


It is all in the R

Don't forget the give aways this week. Visit them all right here.




Kat made a list of ten of her favorite things. But there was a twist. She was assigned the letter "O" for her list.
Anyway...I told Kat to sign me up. And send me a letter. So, what did she send me? The letter "R."




Reality TV



It started in 1948 with Allen Funt's Candid Camera. But did not become big until 2000. Reality television saw an explosion of global popularity starting in the early 2000s. Two reality series - Survivor and American Idol - have been the top-rated series on American television for an entire season. The shows Survivor, the Idol series, the Top Model series, the Dancing With The Stars series, The Apprentice, "Fear Factor" and Big Brother have all had a global impact, having each been successfully syndicated in dozens of countries.
Currently there are at least two television channels devoted exclusively to reality television: Fox Reality in the United States, launched in 2005, and Zone Reality in the UK, launched in 2002. In addition, several other cable channels, such as Viacom's MTV and NBC's Bravo, feature original reality programming as a mainstay. Which leads me to my favorites of Project Runway, Inside the Actors Studio, Top Chef, Top Design, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, How to Look Good Naked and Flipping Out.

Romance--Relationship



I feel these two "R" words go hand in hand. Romance helps feed a relationship. So I try to find ways to keep the romance going. Here are a few things I do. Place chocolates on my honeys pillow. Notes in my hubby's lunch box. Make a hot bubble bath and put hubby in it telling him no talking at all. Then I leave him with a drink to relax with (music playing in the background). I go and cut up some cheese, meat and fruit. Then I come back and hand feed him the yummies. After that I slowly wash him from head to toe. Rinse, towel dry and then I tell him he can say anything he would like. He never talks about work, issues or problems then. Guess what happens???? LOL

Renoir


Reclining Nude 1890, by Pierre Auguste Renoir


I love this painting because of my husband. We were at the Dallas Museum of Art when he came upon this painting. He made me stop there in front of it. And then told me that this is what he saw when he looks at me naked. And that it is always a work of art to him. AWWWW! Who could not love him for that. Goes back to that romance thing.

Ready to Wear



Because this is all I could ever afford to buy for clothes. I think of how hard it would be if I had to make my own clothes. Or to have to wait for someone to measure me and make my clothes. So I am so thankful that there is ready to wear now instead of how it was many years ago. Do you have a favorite label? The average American woman is 5'4" and wears a size 14 which is considered "plus size". This also happens to be roughly the size Marilyn Monroe, considered one of the worlds most beautiful woman.


Nash Rambler



Under the direction of Charles Nash's successor George W. Mason, Nash-Kelvinator Corporation began development of a small car that could be produced inexpensively for the post World War II economy. However, steel shortages limited the amount of raw materials that Nash could get, so Mason turned the compact, now designated the Rambler, into a two-door sedan with a convertible top. I think the Nash Rambler was one of the first "cool" cars that I fell for. Okay it is an old car but still sexy in my book. Must be the roundness of it.

RENT




I love this musical. All of it. What it has to say to the "socially acceptable", the cast and how they acted, the story behind on how it came to be and most of all the music. It makes me feel alive and understood. Even though I have never lived these lives I feel them all the same.

Redneck



Redneck refers to a stereotype of usually rural, Caucasian (i.e. white) people of lower socio-economic status in the United States and Canada. Originally limited to the Appalachians, and later the South, the Ozarks, the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains, this stereotype is now widespread throughout North America. Southern comedian Jeff Foxworthy defines "redneck" as "a glorious lack of sophistication," stating "that we are all guilty of it at one time or another." And believe you me, my family is Redneck to the bone.

Reputation



I stake my reputation on it is as good as a handshake. And I have always felt that my reputation was important. It seems so many young ones today do not know how important it is to have a good reputation. Do you know what I mean? A man is as good as his word was how the world use to run. Don't we all wish it was the same today. Politics would be honest and you could do business with a handshake. To have lived in such a time.

Right




I like being right. Correct. Knowing what needs to be known and able to put that information out there. My hubby even says he knew he would marry Mrs. Right. He just did not think her first name would be Always. I am OCD and the being right is part of it.

Restaurant



I love eating out. I like being waited on. I enjoy not having to cook or clean. I adore having different food than I know how to make. I think restaurants are on of my favorite places to go to. Lazy huh?
