Dog? Human? Dinosaur?

We found this in our front yard today (my man hand in pic is for size reference):


Any guesses as to what this came from and why it would be in my yard?

Another view:


And, yes- I owe y'all a reunion post, but as I am recovering from last night when I drank waaaaayyyyy too much with this lady (YAY!!!!), it will have to wait until later/tomorrow, when my head isn't so hurty and I've exited my shame spiral.

Can hunchbacks wear heels?


A few quick notes before I start my very busy day:

*My 20-year reunion is tonight (yes, I'm going). The 15th was debaucherous, drunken, silly and ended somewhere around 3 in the morning- I wonder if old age has mellowed us? I guess I'll find out tonight- I'll take pictures, I promise. Hopefully nudity and/or fancy 80's-style dance moves will be involved. If my prom dress was anywhere near fitting me these days, you know I totally would have worn it. Maybe at the 30th.

*As of today, I am basically off from work until Aug. 20- go me! Sorry, I know that's gloating, but I can't help it. Lucky for you, this means I have nothing but time to do retarded things on my blog again.

*Sleeping with Bubs in the bed is ruining my back. The little dude is powerfully strong and able to push me into odd sleeping positions I didn't know even existed, like "the question mark" and "the vertebrae crusher". When I'm hunched over and addicted to painkillers, I can count on you guys to take care of me, right? Right?

*I'm pregnant.

Just kidding, I just ran out of interesting points. You should all know by now that my ovaries are angry and shriveled like raisins covered in hot sauce.

Happy Friday, my wrinkly and drunky little hunchbacks. Happy Friday.

Weenie dogs, cocktails and meat, not necessarily in that order.

Three days and counting until I'm off from work until the third week of August. Finally I will have time to sew those bikinis and speedos for my furry roommates and lounge by the kiddie pool with margaritas and frozen Friskiescicles.

Until then, a few photos for y'all:

Bubbles in his favorite "Look at me! I'm naked!" pose, also the pose with maximum potential for belly rubs:

Out for a walk with the happiest dog on the planet:

Fresh-picked lavender from my garden, drying in the back porch:

The two best salsas on the planet from El Burrito Mercado...:

...Which we had with grilled bison flank steak, avocado, spicy black beans and queso fresco:

The raw materials for making trouble:

The finished product- very tart margaritas with mint:

My newly-acquired 2nd-degree burn that looks much nastier in person. So very glad I'll be going through the entirety of sleeveless season with a large burn scar on my arm- classy!:

Trouble's new favorite dog-free resting spot: on top of the microwave that is on top of the fridge:

The End, for today.

Happy scorching-hot (here, anyways), sweaty Tuesday, my spicy lime no no spots. Happy Tuesday.

XOXO
