Weekend Recap

We were dog sitting for our in-laws while they were in Vegas for the better part of last week and the weekend. Nellie is a seven year old Boxer and/or 75-pound lapdog. She is such a sweetheart. Indy absolutely ADORES Nellie and they are the best of friends. They play together so well and cuddle together when they tire out. I love it.


Unfortunately for all of us, Nellie snores like you wouldn't believe. The first night was excruciating and both dogs were banished to the hallway in the middle of the night. Also unfortunately, we could still hear Nellie through the door. And, even further, the dogs HATED being where they could not hear and see us. All of this means that nobody--dog or human--got much sleep at all and we were all exhausted. While we really enjoyed having Nellie here, we were all somewhat glad to get a good night's rest last night.

(I just love how she sits!)

I love taking pictures of the dogs. They reluctantly go along with it.


Matt spent a lot of time this weekend working at the Tripoli Shrine Circus. He spent Friday night after the show hanging out with the Lion Tamer and the Human Cannonball. While he was working through most of the shows, he did catch bits and pieces and said it was a great show. I really wish I had gone to see it, as I really kind of love that stuff. I'll have to make a point to go next year.

For the briefest moment this weekend, I thought about starting our taxes. Seeing as they take me about a month to complete, I need to get cracking on it. Unfortunately, it's right up there with going to the dentist, eating brussel sprouts or cleaning toilets (which is to say that I hate it and can think of many other things I'd rather do). I have been getting everything organized and I should be in good shape when I do decide to start. But, I just don't wanna.

On Saturday night, Matt and I made pina coladas and played wii Tennis. It was a really fun date. The fruity drinks almost tricked me into believing that it was warm outside.

Speaking of being tricked by the weather, Sunday was a beautiful, sunny day. Unfortunately, it truly was false advertising if I've ever seen it. It was COLD. Really, really cold. But, the good news? This weekend, I came to the realization that in less than three months, we'll be able to spend time out at the lake. And that's not so bad, right?
