1) I love this guy. He is my buddy to the max. He loves me and spins circles for me when I come home (mostly because I feed him but I do think there's a little unconditional love there too!). Granted he stinks and sheds and there was one night this week where neither of us slept particularly well b/c he was barking all night (which he really never does). But I couldn't stay mad for long. Look at that face...
2) Dac and I began watching '24' on Netflix. The show is obviously over but neither of us had watched it before and decided what the heck... now's the time. I'm t-totally addicted now. We just finished the first season last night! We've been watching about one episode a night when we can... just to unwind after working non-stop up until that point. It's been good for us I think.
3) I received an e-mail with pictures of these cute things this week. That's Ellie and Layla - my cousin Ryan and Erin's sweet girls. I rarely see them in real life but I love staying up on what's new with them. They are both getting SO grown up. I see a ton of Ryan in Ellie especially and Layla - a spitting image of her beautiful mama. Erin's dating again... sort of took my breath away when I learned that but not in a bad way. Well not really... it's a reminder that he's gone and never coming back (which is oh so hard) but I couldn't be more happy for Erin. =) She is an amazing girl and she deserves the best and the most happiness that can possibly come her way! I know if she thinks he's special then he absolutely, without a doubt is. I can't even imagine how hard the whole process of losing the love of your life, picking yourself up again, being a great mom, deciding you want to let someone new in, and then actually seeing it through. Wow. Hope I never have to find out.
4) My friend Kelly blogged about our trip to Colorado. I stole this picture of me going down the crazy steep slide at New Belgium. I'm such a dork. Please still be my friend.
5) It's been hellaciously hot here lately. But... BUT... this week has been cooler and RAINY. I love rain. I love storms. I love cool, breezy, overcast weather. Mmmm. I've seen this cartoon before but ran across it again a couple days ago and I think it sums things up nicely. You know me... I feel bad for that corn cob. Sigh.
6) My friend Erika remembered me saying how much I liked her chair a while back. It's not exactly her style and they wanted to get rid of it so she called me. Wasn't that nice? =) I'm not sure that it's necessarily my "style" either but I do love it and am happy with it's new home in my family room. It brings some spunk and diversity to that room, plus, it's in terrific shape and will be great for pictures... including some of her girls.
7) We went out to eat at College Hill Coffee today with a few local photographers. It was perfect. Today was just kind of a meet-and-greet time. I had a blast and I know Dac did too. We didn't want to leave! =) Everyone that came was super cool and I only see it growing. Can't wait for next time. PS - I finally tried a waffle from there and it was fab.
8) I made a dentist appt. Guys. It is SAD how long it's been since I've been to the dentist. Like... gosh... 2 years now? I just hate it THAT much. I'm too scared. SO, I made a dentist appt. with a new dentist that Dac used to go to... made us both one. Dare I say it... I'm excited! I think. I told them to bring on the gas and sedatives and let's do this thing! =) Eeeek!
9) I hit my first mini weight-loss goal yesterday. I wanted to lose 10 lbs in 30 days and I managed to do it in 31. I'm pumped! Weight-loss seems to be going better this time around. I seriously just love love love myfitnesspal.com. Seriously. Love it.
10) I've been walking a lot. Sometimes I walk with Kayla and it's great to chat and the walks always go by fast! Super fun. Sometimes I walk with Dac and it's great to talk and sometimes that's the only time we get to really spend together (except for our new-found 24 time). Sometimes I walk by myself and while I always love the thought of that, I usually end up going about half the time I plan to, hurting a lot, and feeling like crap afterward. It's just not as fun!
I think that's it for this week's installment of randoms. Have a great rest of the week!! =)
