Damn Damn Dog and Monkeys and Trampoline!

DAMN DAMN DOG:
Murphy got out through an open window by pushing off a screen. He left to join a pack consisting of a Doberman, a Rottweiler, and a Black Lab puppy. I cruised in the car, sans glasses, license and bra, for forty-five minutes. I lost ten to pushing the Vic in reverse (because it has no reverse gear right now).
I did not beat the dogcatcher. King's damn dog was the first to get caught. He is now riding around in a doggy Popemobile.
My arms are like noooodles.

ETA: Animal Control just brought Murphy's dumb ass home. He was straining at the leash to get back in. No fine, thank goodness, because he is a first time offender.

MONKEYS!
Today, for the first time ever, someone wrote me and asked to have my art tattooed on them!




Cloud Monkey! How cool is that?!

ETA: Put the bed (the jumpy-onny part) on the trampoline for Boy and Summer. Bitchtastic, but easier using the tool meant for pulling springs. There's a lot of jump there.
Me, I've had breakfast and espresso and my eyes are still swimming in my head. Wuheeee.

My Kid is Taking Commissions!

She's only taking on three at a time. Here's an example of her handiwork:

SDCC: A Stunning Realization

Talking about SDCC over at the Beat and betnoir's blog today made me think to add up San Diego expenses.

$350. airfare
$250. hotel + taxes
$120. food (that's low)
-------
$720.
+ 108. 15% for hidden costs
-------
$828.

Even if I stop at hotel, air and food--THAT'S A NEW COMPUTER. A new computer w/ 4GB RAM, dedicated video card, fast badass processor, in a sweet-ass case.




I want to go to meet Tori Amos and promote Comic Book Tattoo, BUT DAMN A NEW COMPUTER.

Homina, homina.

LOVE: My Girl Child

We're watching an America's Funniest Home Videos she recorded. A commercial comes on with Queen Latifah in a SASSY yellow-orange coat, hot as hell, looking wonderful.
Me: I love Queen Latifah. She'd be a perfect Lula in a Stephanie Plum movie.
Summer: You're a perfect Queen Latifah.
Me: (intrigued) Why do you say that?
Summer: Because you have a beautiful smile and you like yourself.
Me: (pleased) *busts out one of my famously nice smiles*
Summer: See?

She now wants to start a campaign wherein she advises people not to buy any beauty product that costs half their grocery money. "Be beautiful the way you are." She says this in pajama pants and a brown t-shirt. She is beautiful.

Man, I love that kid.
