Mollie Sugden, the comedy actress best-loved for her role as Mrs Slocombe in Are You Being Served?, has died aged 86.

This is one of my favorite shows and we have all the seasons on DVD. Matt even found it really funny once he gave it a chance. The habitual tongue in cheek references too Mrs Slocomb’s pussy never got stale. The entire cast was fantastic and if you get a chance to see it, check it out.

Is your dog itching, scratching and stinking beyond belief?

Do you?

*Wash your dog one day, just to have the stink return the next?
*Wait weeks between bathing your dog because his skin gets so dry and flaky?
*Hate bathing your dog because you rinse and rinse and rinse…and still can’t get him completely rinsed?

My little girls aren’t quite this bad off but they are mostly inside dogs and I use people shampoo on them. I do wish they would stay nice smelling more than just one day. I have tried other natural shampoos and find the smell of them to been too much like trees and very short lived. The dog conditioner never leaves their hair soft and nice like my shampoo but I worry about the residue it leaves behind because of how much Maggie licks her fur.

I have known about Dinovite for quite some time and have been kicking around the idea of trying their products to try to cut down on shedding. My girls shed A LOT for short haired dogs and any improvement would be nice.

I know plenty of people with stinky dogs, which are often caused by skin maladies. Some of those skin maladies can come from a poor diet. Dinovite’s all natural dog shampoo. It’s also sensitive on skin and is a natural flea deterrent. I love that it’s free of chemicals, perfumes and fillers. We prefer our pet products to be natural.

Isn’t it time for that new dog smell?

Michael (my ex boss) just called to tell us that he got VIP tickets to the Counting Crows concert and asked if we wanted to use two of them and meet up. Um HELL YES!!!!

May have the same for Train too …. providing it doesn’t get rained out

What could be better?

Friday is the first night of Fair St Louis which is the annual fourth of July celebration in St Louis on the river front. It’s all free (except rides, food and drinks of course) and they always have a great line up of bands who play under the Arch. Both evenings end with a stunning fireworks display.

I’m so excited for Friday! My sweet, sexy boy is going with me to see The Counting Crows concert and Train Saturday night. The weather is PERFECT! So we are going to take a blanket and sit under the stars then kiss and fall in love.

Seriously, this is one of my favorite things to do and having my boy with me makes it just about the best thing evah!

Hope your holiday weekend is just as perfect!! Be Safe :)

Guess who’s going to Montana for Scott’s wedding? Matt switched his days so that we can go! Scott has a ton of flyer miles so he covered the plane tickets. Renny & Eileen had already rented a lodge so we can stay with them. This is our first flight together and we are both excited. I didn’t realize it when he first asked but I am looking forward to getting away and this will be like a little vacation for us. Plus Montana is beautiful!! Wish we could take the bikes! Maybe we can take a vacation on the bikes and ride Montana. That would be amazing!

Matt was ready to start packing for the trip this past weekend. A little soon but I am anxious for it to get here myself. We are planning what shows or movie we want to put on Angelina so we can watch it on the plane. We have a couple stops and a lay over in Salt Lake I think. We won’t have any problems keeping ourselves entertained at the airport though. That is one thing that has not changed over the years, we can be together 24/7 and not get bored or kill each other.

Oh I should pack the camcorder! Gah … wish I had a bigger battery though! I found some on Amazon but we were waiting to order them until another unemployment check came in. Yeah that sucks but we are getting by so no sense in bitching…it is what it is.

Today was the St Louis Pridefest Parade at Tower Grove park. I went again with Teresa and Katie. It was the 30th anniversary and Sandra Bernhard was there. Couple fun pics and videos. The rest of the photos will be uploaded to My Photo Gallery in a little while.

Look at this ass!

So our trip to the zoo with Tina,David and the twins was a great time. It was fantastically hot and humid. We were there six hours but those boys were so good. No tears, no fits, no bad behavior at all. Hell I was ready to have a full blown fit over the heat and the fact that the pengiun and puffin exhibit was closed and we were banking on that as a cool off place. Sadly my dvd camcorder only has a 30 minute battery so I didn’t get much of the day. I did however get the stingray pool visit on tape and that was easily the highlight of the day. It was absolutely worth the $3.00 and watching the boys experience that was so fun. They made me go first when it came time to feed them but they came around.

As always, the visit was too brief but so much fun!

I’m happy that he won’t be able to collect any of the money from his concert tour. It’s sickening that anyone is willing to give a pedophile money, no matter how talented he is. So thousands of people who bought tickets to see this pedophile in concert are saying they think it’s perfectly acceptable to sexually abuse children so long as you are wealthy and talented.

Good riddance to another kid toucher.

Oh and this is just hysterical:

His final photo:

Sunday evening we met up with our step sister Tina, her husband David and their 5 year old twins Adian and Avery in Fairview Heights to have dinner. They were driving in from Wyoming with a stop over in Kansas City. We arrived at Lota Watta to discover there was an hour and 45 minute wait for a table!! Screw that! It was hot as hell and that was just straight up stupid. We ended up going to Red Robin which is just as good AND Avery found a $20 bill stuck down in the seat of our booth. The boys decided that Matt’s sideburns make him look like Wolverine, who is there favorite super hero.

After we arrived at Misty’s house, we all went to the park to let the boys play. I managed to fall on my ass in the driveway. Sloped gravel driveway plus smooth soled flipflops equals disaster. I don’t know how I managed to not hurt something but that’s a good thing.

The boys played until David was ready to go back to the house. On our way back we realized the back lot at Misty’s was full of lightening bugs. We had a blast catching them and putting them in a jar. Aiden even found a little teeny frog and brought it in with the lightening bugs. Matt and Avery accidentally squashed a few in the excitement. We watched Kung Fu panda and called dad to wish him a Happy Father’s day. They kept the fireflies over night and released them in the a.m. The frog was placed in the Toad House in Misty’s flower garden.

Pics aren’t great cuz all I had was my Blackberry and it was getting dark. Will post about our day at the zoo a little later.
