5 things

Averill tagged me in her lovely blog today to share some uninteresting things that I love...

I love my pups! They are by far my favorite things...animals...whatever. I love them dearly and they make me laugh everyday. Although I wasn't laughing last night when Arlo decided to run away from me in the yard and sprint down the street. A rare occasion but he knew I was pissed.

I love my Bath and Body lip gloss. Cranberry cocktail is my favorite color. It seems to go with everything, it smells great and it isn't sticky.

I love vintage pottery. My rule when buying is...must not cost more than $10 and it must be blue or blue/green.

I love junk food. I frequent McDonalds, Burger King and Wendy's. I love my cheeseburger and fries - what can I say.

I love tea! I drink tea like most people drink coffee. I loved traveling abroad this year. It was so awesome that tea was offered before coffee.

Have a great weekend everyone!! I'm taking the day off tomorrow. I am hanging out with my friend Con so no post on Friday.

AT update

So I have been watching the comments on Apartment Therapy about my place....

When I took pictures of my patio I had only planned on using them on my blog. Sorry they are a little wacky. Straight on pictures are a little boring at times. I tried to make them interesting.

Arlo and Minnie are chihuahuas. Arlo is at least 8 lbs. And he is a sun worshiper. He would rather sunbathe on the sidewalk or driveway than lay on the grass in the shade under the tree. (Minnie is only 3 lbs.)

One thing that is hard to deal with on my little patio is the lack of space and my air conditioner unit takes up at least a third of the patio. So all things considered, I think it's a pretty good job. Most people in my neighbor don't even use their space. I would like to add a half umbrella at some point and a rug for some color. But other than that, it's a pretty good place to read a book and have a glass a wine while the dogs play in the grass.

So there you have it - My 15 seconds of fame is almost over. Thanks for stopping by.

Weekend Update

I thought I would give you an updated look of my tiny little patio now that very thing is in full bloom. It's so hard to give your place an individual look when you live in a townhome complex. But I think I did a pretty good job. (Target door mat - $10)

Hot green pots spilling with flowers definitely make my house stand out from the crowd. (Green pot came from Home Depot.)

I found these garden stars years ago and they have lived at two different houses. It also helps when someone is trying to find your house for the first time.



I added a couple of little green oil lamps that I found at Pier 1 to my sitting area. I think a rug might be a nice touch too.

Arlo doing his best Joey Tribbiani impersonation.

I don't have any other stories to tell. It was a quiet weekend and I didn't do much of anything. I did manage to clean out my garage and car yesterday. And shortly after we had thunderstorms and tornadoes. No major damage but one tornado was a little too close for comfort.

Puppy pics

Nothing much....

Why is it when I practice my animals decide this is the perfect place to nap?

Perfect day to hang out on the patio with a book while the puppies play.

Perfect shoes for my dress, they make me about 6 feet tall yet I feel like I'm walking in my very first pair of high heels. Could be a problem...

Weekend Update

I think I finally found my motivation again. Last summer, I usually walked 6 miles a day at least 4 x week. This year = nothing. Which has proved to be a very bad thing (that and a few food binges). So Sunday, Arlo and I got in a nice walk before it started raining. I also managed to clean the house, do laundry, watch a couple movies and take Minnie on a 2 mile walk all in the same day. My plan is to continue walking after work this week. I plan on walking 4 miles a day. Maybe 6 on Friday.

Weekend Update

I think I am finally getting back into my summer routine. I actually was craving a long walk this weekend. Because I wanted to work on some training with Arlo, we left Minnie at home. Arlo followed commands off leash, stopped when he needed to and didn't chase any bikers. All in all - a good day. I decided to reward myself after all that walking with a hot fudge sundae from Mickey D's. YUM!

Pup Pics

The pups and I enjoyed a little outside time yesterday. Minnie didn't want to pose for any pics so it's all Arlo today. I believe Arlo is telling me to pay attention to him and put the camera down.

Weekend Update

Since it rained all weekend long I spent most of my time on the couch watching movies or reading a book.

Happy Birthday Minnie!

Minnie is the little white one with her belly showing.

Sleepy

I have nothing to blog about today. Really I don't. I was going to write about things I don't care about but like I said....I don't care. Then I actually posted about Confessions of a Teen Idol but I thought that was dumb so I deleted it. So I leave you with a photo of Minnie. That's it.

Happy Birthday Arlo

Today is Arlo Guthrie's 2nd Birthday. I think we will go to Three Dog Bakery this weekend and get him a cupcake. Maybe a new coat too or a sweatshirt. (I tried putting on his new coat from last year and it doesn't fit. In fact, nothing fits.)

Weekend haze

What a nice weekend it was... Isabelle had her first dance recital, Johnathan decided to sleep over on Saturday and the pups got to play at Dee's house. Truly a fun weekend! I would love to show you some pics by someone forgot their cord to their camera. I always keep mine in my purse with the camera. But whatever...

Arlo's new harness arrived. It fits perfectly but I'm pretty sure once he loses any weight I'm going to have to purchase the smaller size. Oh well - it will be worth it.

Friends

Bo, I think, has become BoBo. Here's a great photo of BoBo at his new house with the new sod and his favorite toy. Sadly Arlo and Minnie haven't been to the new house yet.

Just Jack

Minnie is such a little drama queen. She yipes to holy heaven when I come home. I know I wasn't home much this weekend but she is much too little for me to be dragging her around everywhere. And she hasn't had all of her shots yet.

All the little boys on Johnathan's little league team keep asking me, "When are you bringing the white one?" And I have to keep telling them, "Not for a while."
