Day 36 - Aaaa-CHOOOO!! (and a new background)

I spent the majority of my day today with a kleenex within arms reach. My nose is red and dry, and my eyes are watery, and I sound like a seal when I cough...I hate being sick. (Though, who really likes it?!?!) So, for the first day in a really long time, I went back to bed. I brought the dog with me, and we crawled into our comfy bed with Kitty.

We went approximately two hours without Kitty smacking Guinness. I'd call that a success!!

In other news, I got a job offer yesterday!! I'm excited to go back to work, and REALLY REALLY REALLY excited to get a paycheck again!!!

I figured out how to change the background on my blog, so to be festive, I went with a Valentine's Day theme. My super fantastic husband thinks it's too girly. I bet he still reads it!!

Day 35 - Gray

Another sad, dreary day in Chicagoland. I really can't wait till summer comes back from the vacation it's been on...it's really starting to depress me. I drove down by the lake nearby today to take some pictures, and when I looked up, the sun was trying to come out. So, here's some proof that it actually tried.

Day 34 - Pink!!!

Okay, I'll be honest, I love pink. I also love cookies. So, when I saw these beautiful pink cookies at the grocery store yesterday, I HAD to buy them. Ohhh...the frosting...and the cookie...so so tasty. So, what better object for today, than this beauty.

I have to run...I'm getting crumbs on the keyboard....

Day 33 - Looooooove

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." - Author Unknown

I found this quote online today about your dog. I've been reminded lately how much pets are a part of our families, and how much a piece of your heart they have.

I grew up with dogs, they were always part of the family, and as soon as Guinness came into my life, he immediately fit in as a family member. He thinks he's a human, he tells you what he's whining about, he sleeps in our bed, he gives kisses when Mommy or Daddy are happy or sad...and more recently, he likes to sleep with his head on a pillow, under the covers.

That story is quite funny. One morning, my dear husbands alarm was going off, and he had hit snooze a couple times...Guinness had gotten out of bed, and stood next to Sean's side of the bed and whined a bit. Sean, of course, thought that he needed to go outside...so the second he got out of bed (and thankfully turned the alarm clock off) Guinness jumped right back in the bed, and laid down. Head on the pillow, and looked at Sean, as if to say "cover me up, Daddy!! It's cold!!!) Sean nudged me (still sleeping, of course), and said..."Look at him...he's a person!!"

Ooops...I should go let my little boy in...he's barking at the neighbors!!!

Day 32 - Disco Ball

I had a super busy day today, but I had a great idea while in the car...I was wearing what I like to call my "disco ball" necklace...and, I thought it would be a great thing to take a picture of. So, I did!! Just go ahead an ignore my reflection in the picture, okay? Great...thanks!!!!
