Insta-lately

Typically, I begin this post explaining if I had an Instagram account I would post the following pictures. Well, something happened. I opened an Instagram account. I don't know what prompted me to open an account. It might have had something to do with not being able to view celebrities pics. Ok, that is absolutely the reason I opened an account. Of course, I mean that in a non-stalker/creepy way.  

Anyway, I like Insta-lately so I will continue the monthlyish post. But to keep you on your toes, not all pictures will come from my Instagram account. Tricky, huh? SO, here's your Insta-lately...

Isn't TT cute?? Canada Travis bought him bow ties.

The Sisters came to the racetrack. 

Last night I made one ingredient banana ice cream. It's delicious! 

My dad's birthday meal. 

Happy pups. Sleepy pups.

Sister #1 and I made this donut tree. It took 20 dozen donut holes and 1 hour to create. 

Until next time!!!

Middle Child Day

Tomorrow, August 12th, is Middle Child Day. I'm not a middle child, but I know a middle child. Sister #1 is the middle child in our family. 


In this picture Sister #2 looks like the middle child; but that's just because she's so short. We put her in the middle for most pictures. 


Anyway, tomorrow is Sister #1's day. She's been a great middle child, and deserves a full day of awesomeness. Happy Middle Child Day!

Failed Scam

Last week, I received a call from the IRS. 

A "robot-lady" left me an urgent message from the IRS. She told me I owe money, need to call back ASAP, and left me a New York number. The consequence of not returning the call would be a lawsuit. 

A couple things about this message...
1. IRS does not call demanding payment. 
2. I don't think the IRS does lawsuits? I could be wrong. Someone should Google that question, and let me know if I'm wrong. 
3. The IRS does not use "robot-ladies". All of my phone calls have been with humans. Yes, I have had to call the IRS. 

Obviously, I knew the IRS was not calling me. I knew the voicemail was part of some scam; which made my afternoon!!! I was going to be these scumbags worst nightmare. I immediately dialed the New York number left on my voicemail. Sadly, the number had been disconnected. I was so bummed!!! 

Curious of what scam I'd missed out on, I Googled recent IRS scams. What do you know, IRS posted a scam alert the day before. The scam is "robot-folks" call claiming you owe money to IRS, with payment in Apple iTunes gift cards. Oh yes, you read right....Apple iTunes gift cards. I'm kind of insulted by this scam. Do people really think the IRS is taking payment in the form of iTunes gift cards?I don't understand the logic of this scam. Good grief!!! Sometimes I worry about this country.

Cutest Passenger Ever

Monday I took off work, and enjoyed some much needed sleep. Canada Travis did not take off so he had to go to work. Since I was at his house Canada Travis decided to leave Tiny Tank with me. I was instructed to drop off TT at his office before I went to the gym. No problem, because this cat is a fantastic traveler. 

Once we started our journey, TT was on high alert. He stood like this for a good 5 minutes. 

Then he decided to move to the front for a better view.

An even better view...extreme close up. 

The second I turned off the dirt road, TT decided he'd seen enough and moved to the backseat.

I think this is his relaxed look, and probably when he realized I wasn't going to kidnap him. TT likes me, but he hates to be away from the Postcard pups and Canada Travis. They're all BFFs. 

Yes, I just rambled about my dogs and cat. I promise to get a life soon.
