Australia, Dakota, and Meals!

I just looked back a my last post and saw that it was titled 'Picture + Tell a Tale Tuesday' or something like that. I totally thought it was tuesday yesterday. Last night, when I was going to sleep I realized that today was tuesday. Wow.

Yesterday was my dog, Dakota, 7th Birthday! We never do a whole lot for his birthday but just get him a few things at the Pet Store. So we drove down to the nearest Pet Store, Pets Supplies Plus, and got him a really meaty ham bone, a couple other bones and a bunch of treats. Of course he didn't understand that it was his birthday but oh well.

Then the craziest thing happened this morning. I got up around 8:15am and saw Dakota lying on the floor. He was completely still. This was really rare. Dakota was always up before me, in fact, he often woke me up.

My voice a whisper, I called his name. He didn't move. A million thoughts rushed through my head. My friends dog had recently died because a bone got caught in her throat. His birthday was yesterday, he was 7, he had grey hairs...but I didn't really think he could of died of old age. We have coyotes out near our hard. He chased after one and sprained a muscle. Was it more than just a muscle?

I quickly ran upstairs. I didn't want to go up to him alone. By now, my heart was beating faster and faster. . I ran a got my older sister, Mariah. I told her how I had found Dakota. I was almost crying. By the time Mariah and I had come downstairs he had slightly raised his head and looked at us. I ran to him stroking his soft fur. "Buddy, you scared me!" I said!

Ok, I know I over reacted but my greatest fear is loss. I've never lost anyone (animal or person) close to me. Thats probably why I'm so scared of it.

Also, it was just when I had gotten up and I was really thinking straight. (hence my over reaction)

Yeah, so I guess that was my tale for Tuesday.

Ok, now for meals.

Since my mom is getting knee surgery in June, I've been practicing making meals for her and my dad for breakfast. Also I making dinner tonight. (in the summer each of us girls will make dinner once a week)

So yesterday, I made my dad a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwhich on a bagel. But it didn't have just bacon, egg, and cheese on it...I also added:

Lettuce

Tomato

Sprouts

Mayonnaise

Mustard (horseradish kind)

And it was on a Everything Bagel.

Yummy!

This morning, I made my dad an omelet. It just had cheese and bacon cause I had no idea what to put on it.

I haven't been able to make many meals for my mom because she gets up so early and goes to the gym and often has car pool duty and today she went to a prayer meeting.

So yeah....about dinner tonight...I have NO idea what to make....

Anybody have any ideas on a simple (by simple I mean not to hard to beginners) , but yummy dinner? Comment and let me know!

Australia. Wowzeers. I don't know who is going to read this part because this is such a long post, but I'm going to write about it anyway.

Australia, starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman. Sorry about the picture....I couldn't find a cover that didnt have them kissing....

I saw this last night with my family (we had to skip one thing, but other wise it was good). Even though I watched the whole movie, I'm still not quite sure what its about. All I know is that it made me SOB. Like cry to the 10th power.

Here is a basic summary. (it was 3hrs long so this is really simple)

Mrs. Boss, a rich lady from England, went down to Australia where her husband owned a cattle thingy called Farway Downs. When she got there, she found he husband was dead, supposedly killed a 'native' known as King George. (right between these to parts there they (Drover, Nullah, Herself and a couple other people go on this trip to deliver cattle to this ship so they can sell them...this is like half the movie) She decided run Faraway downs and not sell it.

Anyways things happened and she and Drover get separated and Nullah gets taken away. The Japanese (this is set in World War II) send airplanes and bomb places. Drover thinks Mrs. Boss is dead and goes to find Nullah.

I'm not going to finish it because I don't want to spoil it.

Because that was the worst description ever, here is a preview.

Yeah, so i really liked the movie. It was basically a romantic story with some comedy and tragedy and adventure.

If you have seen it, did you like? Comment!

Alright, hows that for like the longest post ever?!?

Haha, well over and out guys!

Cya!
