I think that this whole packing and moving thing has really thrown off Sam’s groove. He’s seemed a little miffed at us lately. Besides that, I think he’s feeling terrorized by all of the boxes everywhere. Especially the big, blue plastic ones. The other night, I was trying to get him to come outside with me, but there were a couple of lids blocking the way. He REFUSED to cross them. I decided to coax him with a treat….. What!? He wouldn’t even cross them for a treat! So I decided to just start throwing treats at him. Like Mardi Gras style.

Um, “No,” he said. Jake decided to give him a little pep talk. And then a little pep push.

After about 10 minutes of this, he finally decided to squeeze through another way…

…leaving us scrambling to pick up all the treats so that he didn’t actually eat all of them.

And this is what people who are supposed to be packing, but are SICK of packing, do for fun on a Friday night.

For our NOLA friends, here’s what we moved home to this week (our home was not flooded, though)…

Headline on local news website from my hometown:

“Redneck Games Postponed Until After Sunday’s Redneck Parade”

Just makes you proud, doesn’t it?

“But Diana, you just never know when you might need another Ethernet/Coaxial/USB/AC adapter/HDMI/Optical audio/firewire/(fill-in-the-blank) cable. You can really never have too many…”

Keep in mind that all of the various cables/cords we are currently using are still attached to their respective devices (and believe me, we have plenty of “devices”). These are just the “spare” cables. Just in case.

So you’ve been following jakeanddiana.com, but did you know that Diana and I also both have our personal domain names? Yeah, we’re that cool. Diana’s is for her photography, and mine… I am not so sure. But we thought it would be fun to include a running feed of each of our individual sites here on jakeanddiana.com. Plus I thought it would be fun to see if I could do it. Well, I did it.
