I know that Harry Potter just came out. I have already finished it, but I will not give it away. There is a part in the beginning of the book where Harry and Hermione are in potions class. Harry smells treacle tart, a broomstick and something from the Burrow. Hermione smells new parchment, freshly mowed grass, and she doesn't finish the sentence. I think she was going to say Ron, but that is beside the point. Anyway, they smell these smells because of the potion Amortentia. It is a love potion and everyone smells something different because it is supposed to attract you individually.
Ty and I talked about what our smells would be. He said my hair, coffee, and cedar. Mine would smell like dryer sheets, rain, honeysuckle/wildflowers, and freshly cut grass. My mom said gasoline, which I think I would throw up. What would your Amortentia potion smell like?

Blogging Attire
Almost everyday I have the same ritual. I get up...let my dogs out, then go back to sleep on the couch for an hour. I then take a shower and come blog. My perfect attire for this is wearing my bath robe with my hair wrapped up in a towel. I am usually running late, so I don't always leave comments or post, but I check emails and other stuff. I'm normally stay long enough for the towel to fall off of my head then I have the weird air dry problem that hasn't been brushed to fix. If I'm in a real hurry, I dry my hair while I'm blogging. It is hard to type and blow dry your hair at the same time.
I have tried blogging in several different outfits, but the one best suited for me is fresh out of the shower with bathrobe and towel. What do you like to wear while you blog?

Ike
Ty and I love animals. We have had a cat named "Doc" and a dog named "Patton" for several months in our small townhouse apartment. We've discussed that all of our future cats will somehow be related to Looney Toons and our dogs will be named after generals.
At our fireworks tent Ty and I discussed having children. Now, I'm so ready to have a baby, but Ty is not, so I said..."if i can't have a baby can we get a pug" We now have an 11 week old full blooded pug puppy. His name is Ike after Eisenhower. He's adorable, and Patton loves him. I'll post pictures sometime soon when I can borrow my mom's camera again.
If you could have a dog, what kind would you get?

Criminal Littering
As some of you know, Ty and I run a fireworks tent in Tennessee. This year we had a new location, and they wouldn't let us use their dumpsters. So on July 6, we loaded up all of our trash into a trailer and headed off for the dump. This was like a 25-30 minute trip. We're having fun talking and then all of a sudden police lights turn on.
We pull off because we didn't know if he wanted around us, but no he wanted us. This deputy comes up to the truck and the first thing out of his mouth was...."here's where you stand. i saw a cup fly out of your trailor that's a minimum of a $700 fine and a class a misdemeanor which you could go to jail for. you don't have a tarp on your load which is also a class a misdemeanor and a minimum of a $400 fine. Depending on how you act is gonna decide whether or not i haul you to jail." so ty hands him his license and registration and the guy has a cow about us living in clarksville and having arkansas plates. we tell him we live in arkansas and then he gets mad that we are in tennesee. he's goes to his vehicle for a long time and then he has ty get out of the truck. i'm like crap...my husband's going to jail over a cup flying out of the trailor. we were one mile from the dump. the deputy told us that if we had driven any faster he couldn't have stopped us once we got to the dump. he then gave ty a must appear in court ticket. this wasn't one of those tickets where you pay this amount or go to court...it only had go to court. the deputy told us that he was going to ask for the maximum penalty which included 300 hours of community service.
to add more salt to our wounds when we got to the dump....five or six cars pulled in and none of them had tarps. they were breaking state law as well and had to drive by this deputy, but he didn't stop them. stick it to the out of towners. ty has to appear in court on july 19 or a warrant goes out for his arrest in the state of tennessee. isn't this just wonderful?! just so you know...there is no such thing as a tarp law in arkansas. we had no clue. our distrubutor for fireworks had no clue, and he has 70 loads coming and going all the time with no tarp. he will change that now.
more adventures to come....Kyla
