The weekend was sort of a series of small disasters, but it’s all over now (I’m writing this on Sunday night, and I have a glass of wine, so things are looking up). But I’m going to focus on the positive.
Positive things include:
1. Backer board is all mortared and screwed down now, and getting this done did not quite destroy my marriage.
2. While the dog ate our really expensive slice of cake from the bakery down the street and we had to give him hydrogen peroxide so he’d throw up the chocolate and not die, at least I didn’t eat all of that delicious bad for me chocolate cake myself.
(I was cheating a little. That wasn’t really a positive thing).
3. Dave and I got to go out to eat with my brother and SIL without kids last night. Yay!
4. We have a new foster dog again! We took a break post-Rory-adoption, but we’re back in the game now (although probably we’ll take more frequent breaks now that we have 3 permanent dogs). We got Casey on Friday, and she’s settling in nicely. She’s a nine pound poodle, and she and her Malti-poo brother were turned in to the shelter together; my mom is fostering him. She goes to the groomer on Tuesday; I’ll have better pictures after that, but for now:
(She’s borrowing Rory’s collar there).
You know what? I had a whole blog post planned with more pretty pictures and very important thoughts about house stuff, but I’m too tired to write it tonight. I figure the cute dog makes up for it, though.
I always figure cute dogs make up for it.
Ummm. My secret is out. Crap.
I wish to squish that little Poodle face.
Ha! And I have four dogs here to take pictures of…I can mix them up and maybe it will be weeks before anyone figures out what I’m doing 😉
aaaw, she is sweet! good luck finding her a home! and yay for kid free date nights!
You’ll bounce back! Just eat more cake!
That cake is EIGHT DOLLARS a slice. I can’t afford any more cake!
What a weekend. You definitely deserve that wine! Casey is ADORABLE. I want!!!
She matches your dogs! I’ll send her right up to you 🙂
enjoy that wine! and that cute little poodle face!
Ah sometimes we just want to know what’s going on in your life not just about the house, so feel free to give us the drunken details and dog pics! Okay I was exaggerating when I said drunken. Don’t drink and blog, but that glass of wine is probably necessary sometimes! 🙂
Casey has the sweetest somewhat sad face. Adorable!
Does she miss her brother?
She doesn’t seem to! I wrote up her, Petfinder bio and mentioned that he was available, too, in case anyone is looking for 2 dogs…but they both seem to be fine being apart.
Sometimes you just need a glass of wine and a cute dog/hubby picture. (I don’t know who is more adorable there! haha)
Wine and dog pictures are just sometimes the best route. It works every time too 🙂 Dinner without kids… WITH your husband. I want that. But with my husband, as awesome as Dave is 😉
LOL! The four of us could go together; best of both worlds!
I accept your dog photos. 😉 I agree with Kathryn on the glass of wine. I’m drinking one for you.
Thanks, Kim–very thoughtful of you! 😉
