 I'm going to steal a page from [personal profile] brickhousewench and do a good news Friday post. 

1. I survived my work week and I'm off from my real job till Tuesday! I have to do 4 hours on Saturday at the office job but that's just easy fun money.  

2. I got a $3/hr raise at work! for no reason! well not for NO reason but they evaluated everyone's salary and they're trying to "be more competitive" which is crazy to me as they did the same thing last year and I got a $4 raise so yeah in a year I'm up $7!? cray. 

3. I'm going to Disney with my favorite kid for his Make-a-Wish trip and I'm crazy excited! We are going to have SO MUCH fun. It'll be me, him, the director of nursing and the recreational therapist. Sometime in March not sure the exact dates yet. Rob's thinking of going to disney at the same time and staying with his friend Ryan who works there and we could meet up for dinner or something. 

4. Ellie got groomed on Tuesday so she's super soft and less sheddy. 

5. Ellie starts class on Monday! It's her second level obedience class which is the pre-requisite for the therapy dog class. I'm also stupid excited for that.

6. I did some sewing on my 1830s stays. I got all the gores put in and I'm up to the "now you have to figure out the cording pattern, oh and where did you PUT the cording" 

Today my plan is to work on the cording, poke the embroidery, and find the coffee table as I have friends coming for sewing day on Sunday which I'm greatly looking forward to.

*dog bumps into me when I have a glass of eggnog*
Me - "dammit I spilled eggnog and it's on the rug"
Rob- "Ellie look eggnog" *points*
*dog frantically licking carpet*
Me- "is this your idea of cleaning?"
Rob - "are you saying it's not working"
Me- "touche"

Rob thinks fresh sugar snap peas from the garden are a strange breakfast. Clearly he's a heathen as they are quite possibly my very favorite food. Somehow snap peas grown at home are completely different than the dried out ones at the store. Ah well more for me.

I ran out to the garden this morning to do a little weeding and pick peas...by 9am it was already so hot I only lasted 20 min. I hate summer. I'm just a WIMP in heat. fully admit it. How I grew up in a house with no AC I'll never really know.  so instead of being outside gardening and passing out I've been painting in the dining room.

Oh and today Ellie turns 5 months! My baby is growing up so fast.

I wish I could blame the fact we didn't have internet for almost two weeks on why I'm so bad at posting...but alas I think I'm just horrid at it.

So lets see what's happened...well we got the house! settlement was stressful right through till the very end, and I still have nightmares where the mortgage guy calls and goes "we realized we made a mistake..." But we're fully moved in, keys to the apt handed in and that's all taken care of. Granted I've barely unpacked because we want to paint everything so why settle things just to move them again right? (it's going to take us forever to get that far so I really should just unpack). Thankfully the house has a two car garage that's full of our lives. The garage is actually the original barn from the propery that the previous owners converted with garage doors and a poured floor.

The house has a lovely flower garden and a huuuuge already fenced vegetable garden which I'm very excited about.

cut in case you're oddly not into random pictures of my garden )

Oh and then this happened.


Her name is Ellie after Eleanore Roosevelt (you see she's going to be a very fascinating dog) and she has saved you from this very threatening stick! She's 13 weeks old tomorrow. Mom was a golden retriever and dad was a mystery man. the winning current theory is German Shepard based on the tail and she's got little bits of black on the end of her ears and tail.



She's a belly rub whore.


Dangerous stick, neutralized.
