Here’s an old treat- this comic no longer in print, Frumpy the Clown. You can look up a few archives at Frumpy.com.

Got court on Wednesday. I have to prove that a $350.00 ticket I got wasn’t my fault. Somehow I think this’ll be harder than getting out of all those tardiness detentions in highschool. Same skillset needed tho.

It’s confirmed- I’m a total dork. The past few months have permanently shattered any hopes I had of climbing out of dorkdom. Why, you ask? Here are the recent updates…

• Lost my new camera (with anniversary pics)

• Failed to secure residency status (thereby making it almost certain that I will have to take a semester off, and then re-apply to my MBA program)
• Got a 350.00 ticket. (100.00 for speeding 250.00 for a long story involving the DMV)

AND NOW FOR THE GRAND FINALE…
I produce the newsletter for my work. Last minute the printshop needed another copy of the file before it went to final print. I said “sure” and proceeded to send them my ROUGH DRAFT. It’s in the hands of each of our clients, prospects and friends as I write this. Heh heh… I’m not even going to say it can’t get worse.

I’m sorry. I tried not to do another Chihuahua post- I really did. BUT this story was too tempting. Japan has gone Chihuahua crazy. It began as a harmless loan comercial with a man running down a beach with one of the little bug-eyed pups, and now is a phenomenon that rivals Hello Kitty- spawning Chihuahua Fashions and tons of related products. The ad campaign that started the craze hasn’t been without it’s problems, tho- it seems its caused a rash of thoughtless Chihuahua purchases. One more reason I won’t be visiting Japan this year.

WHOA. I laughed, I hurled (nearly). This story from the Boston Globe has got to be the best thing I’ve read this year (DISCLAIMER: edandheidi.com is not responsible for damages suffered as a result of reading the afformentioned article; including, but not limited to, vomiting, stress, anguish, seizures, hair loss, violent gas, halotosis or general discomfort). I would like to issue a shout-out to my homie Jason for this story who apparently got it from one Josh who runs another blog. Great work gentlemen.

My poor Edo…lost the camera…DANGIT! You know, that really stinks! I feel so bad for my honey. He was really getting close to that camera and now it’s gone. I started getting a liking for it also. Well…what can you do? It only had all our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY pictures on it, that’s all. I’m just glad I’m not the one who lost it. Then, I’d never be able to live it down. Anytime we’d get in an argument, that would come up. I’d feel soooooo guilty and probably cry for a whole week straight. Well, life goes on. This was the sad part of this week.
But…we did have the BOMB weekend! We stayed at this fatty suite that our friends the Mullins got us for free with a huge jacuzzi and a great restaurant! We watched “Bruce Almighty” and laughed our heads off. The next day we drove down to Camino California at Apple Hill and stayed at this really cute Bed and Breakfast called the Camino Hotel. It was all victorian style and was in this like deserted tiny little town. We took a walk around the town, took some awesome pictures that we may never see again , and chilled out at this little bar next door. The next day, we got some fruit and honey at this awesome farmer’s market they had. It was one sweet weekend! …we lose a little and we win ALOT!

Dang. Had the most incredible weekend- that’s the good news. Lost my new camera on the way into work- that’s the bad news. Somehow, I put it in my briefcase/bag, walked from the parking lot to work and BOOM- it’s gone. My bet is it wasn’t in my case- its one of those over the shoulder things with a flap- I must have messed up putting it in. Anyhow, it had all the pics from our anniversary weekend. Poo. Plus digital cameras aren’t exactly disposable. I put up reward posters all over the lot I figure I dropped it in and called all the neighboring buildings- we’ll see.
You know those days when you wish you could relive THAT ONE IMPORTANT MOMENT? “If only I had double checked,” “if only I had left it home,” etc… Now all I can do is wait. It’s nerve-wracking. Can’t think.
Here’s how you can help: post comments on your most horrible disasters, ie. lost term papers, lost puppies, kids or whatever. It always feels better to know that someone out there felt as dumb as I do right now.

Almost one whole year and I’m still in love! You thought we were in love before…you should see us now! We have the best times together ever! This weekend we are staying at the Camino Hotel Bed and Breakfast in Camino, California to celebrate our One Year Anniversary! (how romantic!) Ed is such a dream come true (actually, I could have never dreamed him up, he’s more than I’ve ever dreamed of!) I love you so much my hunny love! XOXOXO
(you can stop gagging now everyone).

This weekend is our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY. Wow. One year. Sunday, August 3rd we will have been married a year. A lot of people will probably lose bets that day (jk). I can’t believe how great it’s been- Heidi is the most incredible person I have ever met, and she has been the most wonderful wife I could ever imagine- this year has truely been bliss. Bunny Bear- you are the greatest. In honor of this weekend, here’s a link to the words to what has to be one of the most romantic songs ever written: Marry Me by the all-time coolest, Neil Diamond.
