wordless wednesday...

doggy play dates...

While my little bug is at school during the week, I hang out with our other baby, our four-legged baby...Macy.  She's my pal, at least until the husband gets home, he's her favorite.  Most days we head out for a walk after I get G.Q. to school but this week I've been giving her a treat and taking her to the dog park.  Yep, I'm an awesome dog mom! 

Running around with out a leash.  Wind in her hair ears, tongue flapping as she happily trots along greeting the other dogs and humans.  She couldn't be happier!  And then the grass, oh the grass, rolling over in it, rubbing her back in it...if you could hear her moaning as she massages her own back in grass, you'd understand how much she misses her grassy yard in South Carolina.  Our current yard is desert landscaping, which is primarily rocks, so the grass at the dog park...HEAVEN!

As Macy plays with other four-legged friends I enjoy a little time with other dog lovers.  It's kind of neat to be around lots of people that love dogs and love bigger dogs and aren't scared out of their shorts if they see Macy and her other friends barreling towards them at what seems like 50 miles an hour.  They just laugh and step aside so nobody goes down. 

Thirty good minutes at the dog park will make Macy's day.  She comes home for her afternoon nap, while she waits on G.Q. to come home from school.  She's recently found a new napping spot, too, the guest bed.  I open the window for her and she can lay on the bed and monitor all that happens out in front of the house.  She's nosy that way.  And since she's no longer trying to eat the big wreath I have hanging above the guest bed, I suppose I'll start keeping the room door open more often and let her lay there.  She's so spoiled!

honey, did you just get done exercizing?

I was up way too early this morning.  A pooch with tummy troubles was up a little before 5am.  Yikes!  After watching the news and doing a little playing around on the computer, I decided to just get ready for the day.  G.Q. had wandered into our room to cuddle with daddy so I decided to just use the guest bath to shower instead of potentially waking my guys.  A design flaw to this house is that the master bath doesn't have a door, so lights on and shower on wake the lightly sleeping.

I get my shower on, dry off and use the lotion have I have for guests, Kiss My Face Peaches & Creme...AKA body odor in a bottle if you ask the husband.  He hates the smell.  I love the lotion, it's so moisturizing and I just like the feel and how it blends in.  Figured since I was in the guest bath it wouldn't matter if I used it, the husband would never smell it, right?

My plan to shower and get ready for the day without waking the rest of the house was working out very nicely until I realized I had forgotten clothes.  Dang it.  I had to go into the master bedroom to get dressed.  I found some clean undies in the laundry room, folded and waiting to be put away (there is always a clean pile ready to be put away,) but no clothes.  Since the fragrance seems to bother the husband so much, I decided to wait and let it fade a bit before going into the bedroom.  Apparently I didn't wait long enough... when the husband woke up, he asked if I had exercised with the dog this morning.  I told him it was raining so we didn't go out for a walk.  He responded, "I thought you had gone out with the dog, but then realized it might be that lotion."  Ugh...does it really smell like body odor?  I don't think it does and I've been complimented on smelling like peaches, so either somebody is lying or the husband's sniffer is off a bit.


I think it's his sniffer, I hope it is.  If not, I'm probably going to offend people where ever I go today. 

happy weekend...

have fun, but don't do anything I wouldn't do... so if you feel like chewing on a little toilet paper, barking at bugs or licking somebody's face at 6am...go for it!
