V-day, Houses, Alfie, Rest time.

It’s almost the weekend and I’m so definitely ready for it. Everything was screwed by Tuesday. We ended up going to see Avatar and getting home close to midnight, which meant poor Alfie was in his cage all day long with a few breaks in between when I popped home for lunch, and right before we left for our movie. Being the awesome owners we are, we stayed up with him a bit longer than we normally would.

Which is why I’m SO excited it’s almost sleep-in day. Wake up at 6:30/7:00 on Saturday for an hour with the pup, and then go back to sleep for a few.

Are you excited about Valentines Day? I’m not a fan, usually and I have no reason to be. But this year I’m going to do something special for the boyfriend. It involves a lot of food, since we both love eating, maybe me more so than him. I’m not going to post anything here until the night is over, so I won’t ruin any surprises. But one or two of the menu items are listed on my recipe page. Ooh la la.

Sporadic update. No? I still have to mail out Jordan’s gift to her, since she won that Magnapod contest. No worries, I e-mailed her mentioning this was an unusually busy week for me and I just haven’t even had time to pack it in a box for her. Forgives?

My eyes get really bad when I’m in malls. So much so I think that people may think I want to cry. I blink a lot and I don’t know if they’re dry, or watery. Does your get like that? I hate it. It’s almost like the fans are blowing on my eyes. I don’t really know….

living-areaI know I don’t own my own home yet, but one can still mock up and dream of their potential homes. Scott and I were talking the other night, and there are a few must-haves when we buy a home. Perhaps I need to investigate Lake Murray SC Real Estate? On my list of priorities are a DISHWASHER, because I friggen want to throw a tantrum every time I need to do the dishes. It also must have a fire place, or one of those fake ones that spurts out heat, oh and also — a nice tub in the bathroom. I don’t bathe in the apartment tub we have here because it’s gross and old. I miss baths. Scott wants a two car garage. I think that was basically it. It seems like our home if/when we buy one is going to be a nice one, but nowhere near Lexington SC Real Estate, since we don’t live in the States. I like the layout of the one I have pictured above. But I don’t think it’s my style. It’s what I want to be, but not who I am sort of thing. Do you get what I’m trying to say?

Lost a finger?

pizza

I came across this a while ago and saved it as a draft. I decided to post it today, seeing as we’re having pizza tonight. Why not a nice home cooked meal you say? Tonight is the first night of Alfie’s obedience school and we want to eat after we get home at 5:00, and we have to be out the door for his 6:30 class! So fab. He better behave. :)

Have you made an at home frozen store bought pizza and have the crust be so crispy (the good way), that you hold onto it with one hand and slice it with the other — only to nearly lose grip and almost slice your fingers off? I’m not exaggerating when I say that it happens to me every time I pop a pizza in the oven. I always get the Boyf to run the pizza cutter over the pizza because I’m that paranoid. Dangerous tools. So,  since I still have all my fingers I was browsing on this website I thought this was a neat invention of “pizza scissors” and too cute, not to share.  Someone should buy it for me. lol. It’d definitely be a useful tool to have. Of course it’s only available in some European country though. Whatevs. It’s almost like a piece of modern furniture, except you wouldn’t want to sit on it…

Well. What a productive day!

Hey! It’s ground hog day!!! Does anyone know whether or not the groundhog popped his head up? Are we having another few weeks of winter yet? I haven’t read/watched the news all day, it’s been particularly busy.

Alright folks. I know some of you are probably eating supper while reading my site. So beware right now as the next sentence is going to be talking a bout poop (pass over the first paragraph if you can’t handle it).

Since the weekend Alfie has been off schedule with his bowl movements. (See? Told you.) Which meant that yesterday being Monday we were back on my work day schedule waking up early and him going potty almost right away. Lunch time yesterday he didn’t go at all, and I ended up coming back to work a bit later than expected because I was waiting for him to take a dump. Scott ended up coming back to the apartment and working from home the whole afternoon, which wasn’t ideal but it sort of needed to be done.

In order to get things back on track, I woke up at 6:30 this morning so he’d go on time. This meant I had a lot of free time to just play with him and tire him out before we headed to work for 9:30. I ended up making some pancakes from the recipe from Whit. Can you believe that I had never made pancakes in my entire life, even from a box? So this was a fun experiment! The first two I didn’t know when to flip, so they weren’t perfect little circles. But I got the hang of it quickly! I even posted it on my recipe page with a photo. Yummm…thanks Whitney!

After my huge breakfast of a blueberry muffin, blueberry pancakes, and some granola/yogurt mix it was time to play with Alfie.

alfiAggressive little dude. I throw his toy out to the kitchen and he comes racing back hoping I don’t catch him. Look how fast he is:

alfie-runs-awayOnce I got tired of throwing the toy (since it was bright dark and early) and tried to get him to do some tricks….ROLL OVER ALFIE!

Gooooood booooyy.

Then? Oh right. I went to work. Work went by fast, and before I knew it — it was lunch time! I decided to not leave at noon hour like I normally would. My tummy was getting a little hungry by that point, so I tied it over with some scrumptious trail mix that we bought ages ago.

nutsStomach? Satisfied til 1PM lunch. (BB pics  snapped at work, aren’t the greatest quality. O wellz). I planned on making this sammich on fancy bread. Instead, I wrapped it up! So tasty.

  • Honey Dijon Mustard
  • Turkey lunch meat
  • Tomato
  • Iceburg lettuce
  • Cheddah

Then I packed a crunchy snack to bring to work for the afternoon while I occupied the terror.

carrots and alfieYumz. Yes?

That’s all I’ve got for now. So long all!
