What's new with you?

I haven't blogged in over a week. I HAVE to today because Mamarazzi linked to me and since she's sooooo popular - new people might come by to say hi. And they might actually want see something fancy.

I facetimed with my friend Steph and Maggie. It was super awesome. G loved showing Maggie everything and I enjoyed just talking to my friend. Facetime = awesome.

The new puppy - Sugar Cookie PrettyPaws is adorbs. and a puppy. that poops and pees and whines. It's like having a newborn. G LOVES her and she loves him - even though he carries her around like this:

and loves her like this:

We've had a nasty virus at our house. Chris was sick for 3 days. G was sick Mon - Tues. Felt better Wed - then had a fever (again) all last night.

I'm at work though because I do the work of 2 people (maybe 1.5) now and can't afford to get behind.

I'm letting my hair grow.

I finished a quilt top and have the backing ready to start.

I made supercute valetine treats copied from pinterest.

Chris bought a juicer.

And if you were my FB friend - you'd know all this. Because I'm way better about documenting every single freakin detail of my life on there.

I read this book and can't believe someone could be that dumb

That said - I enjoyed it. and I want to add smiley faces and kisses to every sentence.

I'm in the process of reading this book:

I think I like this one. It's different.

WOW - see what happens when I have to play catch-up.

A tale of 2 puppies

Chris and I are dog people. We haven't had any since G was born because of life. But We (chris) was ready to add another one to the house.

I sorta kinda was finally agreeing to it. But only to get Chris to shut up.

Chris has wanted a dog for months. And he would beg and plead and send me puppy links and pictures and emails and classifieds.

So the week before my birthday we went to a couple of shelters and didn't find "the one"

I wanted a lab because we had a boy lab before and I loved his face off. Chris didn't because it would get "too big"

We went again on my birthday and ended up adopting an unknown mix puppy. (um happy birthday)?

We named him Indiana Bones and called him Indy.

That was 10 days ago. In 10 days, we learned that he was a biter. and mean. and aggressive. And G and him could not be friends. Chris took him to the vet and the vet said he looked like a pit mix.

Then after 7 days of talking about whether Indy was the right fit for us, he lunged at G's face and tried to bite his cheek yesterday. Twice.

We took him back where we adopted him.

And went and picked up a pure yellow lab baby girl.

Yes - I feel like the worst doggy mother ever.

But I hope that she's "the one"

Life is Sad.

I lost a dear friend yesterday.

It was unexpected. She took her own life and I still don't know how to process it.

I met her almost 9 years ago. She worked at my first "grown-up" job.

She was fun and hilarious. and nice and a little mean. And oh so sassy.

And I'm going to miss her.

I... I'm unsure what to write or say or do. I don't know how to understand why.

I just keep thinking of the last emails, lunches, facebook banter, and I can't MAKE it make sense.

I hope she found peace. I will miss you, Jay Dawn.

Starting weight: 241.0
Last week's weight: 238.8
Current weight: 239.0
Weight +GAIN / -LOSS this week: +.2
Total weight lost: -1.0


My weight has been all over the place the last few weeks. I actually even made it down to 235 at one point.

I tried a new plan. I decided to take diet pills in the place of food. THAT lasted like a day.

They should make chocolate-flavored diet pills.

Tomorrow is my birthday. So I've had cupcakes twice this week. And will being going out tomorrow. AND will be having a few empty alcoholic calories.

They should make diet "shots"
Your turn.

Is 7am too early to drink?

Grayson inherited the worst of Chris and I.

I detest waking up in the morning. I will hate laser your face off until I've had a shower and/or coffee.

Chris is lollygagger. He takes his sweet ass time getting ready. La la la let me take 30 minutes to put on socks.

Chris and I have had 30 years of practice to overcome our natural morning instincts.

G has had 3 years. And he is not good.

He will mean mug you for 20 minutes from under the covers. Then he will argue with me for 15 minutes about what he will wear.

Then we have to cuddle.

Then he will "forget" where his boots are.

He woke up at 6:40 this morning when I got in the shower.

I finally wrangled him into the car at 7:25.
