**The dog’s new escape route.
I’m thinking my little miss puggle dog prayed for yesterday’s storm, a freaky black tornado-ey storm that not only had my kids terrified in the basement asking us things like, “how does a tornado kill you?“, but that also blew our back yard fence off its posts. The pup, she wants to roam free, so it’s either an evil genius plan for an escape route, or she wanted easy access to the Indian food restaurant behind our house.
Today we all woke up way too late, the kids missed school, and I’m wondering how long I can go without putting on a bra. Why does it seem like such a big deal to put one on? One of the mysteries of life.
I’m preparing to go to Austin, TX on Friday, for the SXSWi convention (thanks to my sponsors WalMart and Bissell for making it all possible!). I’m hearing the formerly expected 80 degree heavenly temps have now been changed to 40’s and rain. I still blame my dog.

I think our dog used to pray for big storms too. We lost our fence a couple times, and she always had a hay-day.
Bra's are just a pain…I hate putting one on, and wait until the last possible moment to do so.

All along the watchtower… very nice! And I think "I still blame my dog" is totally a country song somewhere.

I'm proud to say that I have no idea if that's a country song… LOL

If only your dog wanted to get a suntan while roaming free!
Also, now I have Bob Dylan in my head, which is better than the Taylor Swift I've had in my head all day. So thanks.;)

Oh my word! You have an Indian restaurant behind your house?! I would take down the fence for that.

Austin is an amazing town. All of my close friends have moved there and I miss them like crazy. Be sure to visit Barton Springs and to watch the bats.

Oooh, that's scary! I'm glad you all are okay! And I hope you have a wonderful time in Austin.

I am still giggling about the bra part.

Seriously the whole bra thing it is strage but I haven't officially started my day till that thing is strapped in place. Sorry about the weather in Texas. Positive thinking it will change again!

Luckily (?) the world could never even be able to tell if I had a bra on or not. The girls? Not so much of them. Either that or they've fallen so much they are now just flat. sigh.

OH that was too funny! And I never realized Steph used song lyrics as titles-I like that idea! Though, obviously I don't know enough lyrics to try to play along since I've been reading her blog for over a year and never caught that….lol! I hope you have a fun trip!
