St. Paddy’s re-cap.

1 Comment

On St. Patrick’s Day I sported my green outfit, and made the BF take photos of me and our pup before work. I didn’t have a chance to post it yesterday since I wanted to show you all my teeth (hehe, is that weird? I don’t care. I’m proud!).

Here is Alfie and I in the “movie room” and I’m standing in front of our huge projector screen. Nice hey? Alfie is not that red, I think the flash turns him red. He’s still sandy colored where the red is showing. I don’t want him to turn too reddish!! The other photos show his natural color.

st-paddysI sent these photos to my parents, and my Mom jokingly wrote back and said she sees more photos of Alfie than she does of her grandsons (which is true).puppersHai Alfie!!

cutie-looking-upIn the photo above, Alfie is looking up at me (being a good pup on his bed). BF is taking pictures of him. Can you see the top left hand corner of his bed all chewed out? When he gets put in his crate he sucks on his bed and eventually bites it — I think he gets sad when he’s in there (aww!!). But it has to be done. Or he’ll destroy the place and injure himself when we’re not home. He’s SO tiny that he fits into the weirdest places. Yesterday morning he launched over the baby gate we have blocking one of the hallways. Uhg. I hope he doesn’t remember that he did that.

puppy-hockey-bagI love this look he’s giving the camera. He’s not allowed on the hockey bag. But it’s where you’ll usually find him lounging, and looking out to the patio. He loves weasling underneath the straps and feeling like he’s strapped into a seat belt. He just hangs out, even if it looks awkward/uncomfortable. It’s funny to look at but when I say “Off!” when he’s on it – he literally jumps off and scurries under the coffee table. He would normally be allowed on it… if he didn’t like to CHEW so much.

Btw, he totally has a loose tooth. How cute!!

I took him out for a walk on St. Paddy’s day during lunch and after work for a good long long walk. I knew it was going to be quite busy on the main roads (where the bars are) but I took him there anyway. I had a bunch of girls come up and oggl’ed and awww’ed at him. Which was cute. But I also got hit on by quite a few youngin’s! I felt like they were all jeuvie’s and wanted to tell them how old I was, and soon will need arthritis treatment but I refrained — smiled and let them think I was there age-ish.

Sickly sweet

IMG002991I think Easter is definitely my favorite time of year for … candy. Ugh, unfortuantely I have the worst sweet tooth ever and there’s no getting rid of it. :(

Halloween is okay but we never get Marshmallow PEEPS (only in yellow because those are the best) Cadbury Mini Eggs, or Cadbury Cream Eggs. Those are just too good to pass up and we only get to buy them once a year, you know? Do you have any favorite candy that you’re lucky enough to buy year round, or do you have to wait until Easter like myself? :)  Maybe the candy is the culprit for those dark circles around eyes?

Happy St. Paddy’s Day B’ysssss!!

Did you know, that I’ve been to Ireland twice? 2005 and 2007 to visit my Brother and his Irish fam-jam. I have four Irish nephews that are all so terrific and they’re in the process of moving to fantastic Canada. Ireland is expensive to live in, you know. Hard times. Being away from my brother and even my parents sometimes gets me down. But living away for four years, you get used to it. With a visit back home one or two per year does me some good. I tell you, when my brother makes that move over with his children I’m going to book the next flight out of Toronto and jet down to see them for a nice long week. Maybe bring them all prezzie’s too, because that’s what awesome aunt’s do.

I have no recent pictures of them all because my brother’s a bit slack in that department. I have no idea what my two year old little buddy looks like! Here’s a picture from August though lol. Isn’t my SIL super pretty?

summer09I can’t wait to show you how much green I’m wearing. Maybe I’ll post it tonight/tomorrow though as it’s on the BFs camera.

So! I made my first sale on Ebay and mailed it out successfully yesterday. How exciting it was, seeing everyone “watch” my auction with zero bids until the last day, and then vava voom the prices rose. I can see how people can make such a profit on things. I can wait for things to go on sale over at Lululemon and re-sell them on ebay for higher. That’s not truly like me to do that, however. But it could be a good idea if I were stuck for cash.

See ya later all!
