short hiatus

I have been (and will continue to be) a bit slack this week with the blog. I've been busy putting together final arrangements for the anniversary party this weekend, so bare with me...

give me five

More thought-provoking litter found while walking Gromit.

snowy sunday

Rain finally changed over to snow in the late evening and we ended up with about an inch total.

flat broke

Found a mateless shoe while walking Gromit this evening.

for whom the rooster crows

Sharing some tears with one of the sweetest, most amazing people I know and her equally awesome predecessor. Gromit helped me make this short farewell video (and gave us a pretty good blooper reel). Best wishes in your new adventures, JB. You will be missed!

me and the boys

Hanging out with my boys!

161.5

So I skipped exercise class this week, pigged out at dinner (complete with ice cream + brownie), and somehow managed to drop weight this week. Woo hoo!

my name is mister

Since neither of us really believe in Valentine's Day, Joan and I actually made a heart out of sweet gum balls to take our Tuesday photo. Unfortunately I forgot the memory card for my camera and all was for naught. This "Tuesdays with Joan" photo was actually taken last week.

fossilized

Sidewalk discovery on a walk with my boys.

necessary evil

Gromit has been making some serious scratches in our floor as he stretches, dragging his back paws behind him. Even though I am anti-rug (at least in our house), I finally broke down and bought a runner hoping that he will do his stretching and shaking on it. We'll see...

smell my feet

Do I have to?

We picked up Seth's grandparents' old Seth Thomas clock from a local repair shop this afternoon. They did a fantastic job restoring it!

a-salted

More parking lot mysteries. Ironically, I could've used a cutlery set today--I forgot my fork for my lunch.

163.5

I am so disappointed. I pulled weeds, mowed the yard, walked 2 miles, and still gained weight. :(

rough terrain

Exploring the rough terrain at Lake Corriher with Joan.

five star crash test

Found this notebook in the parking lot at work. Yet another parking lot mystery.

sunday stampede

Another cold and rainy day. I got all of the anniversary party favor tags stamped and ready to go while watching 30 Rock. Less than 3 weeks 'til show time!

water under water

Braving the cold, nasty day to take Gromit for a short walk. And yes, I have been wearing the same pants and shoes for several days now. When I find something comfy, I fall into it when I get home. Don't judge!

Time to clean up this nasty house!

all tied up

Working on my dress for the anniversary party. I'll be amazed if I get it done in time. The hardest part will be putting in the zipper...

No gain, no loss.
