283 - Miscellany

Tomorrow our freezer should be delivered and the lawnmower repair guy will be out to look at the mower. Tomorrow is a big day. We're hoping we get a replacement mower because with the warranty we would get the list price, and it's currently on sale so we would make a few bucks.

Mike is in Utah for the next couple of months. We got up at four this morning to head to the airport because he had a 7:30 flight and it takes anywhere from 1-1/2 hours to 2 hours depending on traffic. Of course traffic was light at that hour, but we ended up behind two cars as we turned from our street to the main road which was a little surprising. So I got home about 9'ish, and once the dogs calmed down we all went back to bed for a little while. I could have slept longer, but I don't want to mess myself up for sleep tonight. The dogs don't seem to be concerned with that, they're down for the count right now.

Speaking of, cute picture of The Bo-Bos... With the food we feed them now his fur has gotten softer and he doesn't shed as much. Smells less doggy too.


Shrimp tacos with roasted broccoli that I made the other day. It just looked pretty. And I was proud of it since I love shrimp/fish tacos but they seemed intimidating. But they were easy peasy and good. Probably pretty healthy too.


We left the harness on after our walk to the creek and Bo just laid there with the front piece in his mount. It looked funny.



Daisy loves the Nylabone. She chews on it a lot. She is a chewer. We can't go outside to potty or go on a walk without her picking up a stick to chew on. I'll say this for her, she gets her fiber... She has the cutest puppy dog eyes.


Mike had me cut the sleeves off a t-shirt, so I took the sleeve and adorned Bo. He is so patient with us...



Patient, but not particularly happy...


Moooooooooooom...



Daisy is also patient...



Mike hid behind the curtains to try and scare Bo. It didn't exactly work, but it looked creepy.



I finally figured out a solution for the bathroom mirror, and it was such a perfect solution because we put the tv on our dressing table in the bedroom, rendering the mirror useless and making it look out of place. I had been contemplating whether or not the mirror would fit in the bathroom so I measured it and happily, it is perfect. Even more perfect, the wall anchors I put in for the smaller mirror are in the perfect spot for this mirror to hang, so I didn't have to do anything but hang it (which wasn't necessarily easy, but I managed).





Speaking of curtains. Mike reinstalled the curtains. They are also perfect because the backer board is nice and decorative, and the curtains are up higher. They don't drag the ground anymore so they not only look better, they are far less likely to be pulled down by the dogs when they play. I like curtains...


So I guess that's been my day... I've been applying for little jobs here and there to see if I can bring in a decent income from home. We'll see. Any money I make is money that we can set aside as savings and once we have a cushion the rest of the money can be used for projects around the house and fun. It would be nice to have fun again... I miss fun...
