I finally got a laptop cord.
Oh. And we got rid of the dog.
Thanks to all who left comments/tweets etc. about how I would grow to love her, she’d make such a good companion & whatnot. Except I was in no way growing close to loving her. She wanted my companionship about as much as I wanted hers. My house was nothing but an enclosed yard to her.
Chase’s uncle was more than happy to take her. He has a large yard outside of town where she’s free to roam, another dog that she’s already buddied up with, & no kids to compete with. After Chase left with the dog on Saturday, I immediately got my Mr(s). Clean on & began de-dogging the house. Vacuumed & shampooed carpets? Check. Swept & mopped floors? Check. De-haired living room furniture? Check.
My sister also came up on Tuesday. Since she lives almost 5hrs away & is doing the nerd thing & planning on spending her entire 20s in school, earning one degree after another, we don’t see each other much. Today we ventured into the big city {oh hai…can you see me rolling my eyes from here?} & hit up Target. I may or may not have a small obsession with that store. I made it out of the store only $17 broker {which may be a personal record} & with a tooth-achingly adorable box of chocolates. Want to hear just how awesome the chocolates really were? GO HERE.
And uh, people? No one told me just how freaking awesome TWO is. Why TWO & not two? Because the misery that TWO has been already warrants it’s name being scuh-reamed. Yeah. But TWO is also a lot of fun. And in 6ish short weeks, Carter is going to be one. I’m having a much harder time with his 1st birthday than I did with Claire’s.
Oh & if I normally comment you? I’m still reading, I promise. But when I do get to read your blogs, it’s usually in like, 30 second chunks at various points throughout the day. So by the time I get to finish your blog? My mind’s all dumb & stuff & I’ve already forgotten what I wanted to say to you. Still don’t believe me that I’ve been reading?
- Casey got her tata’s shrunken & then her doctor insisted on dressing her.
- Keely jumped out of a plane, got a new bed & found her colon a new best friend.
- Jenni became friends with Poison Control, found out that Poison Control doesn’t like it when you make jokes about becoming good friends, & then finally proved to us that her kids are actually separate individuals & not, in fact, twins.
- Caiti took her dog to get chopped, turned 21 & came to visit the Beasty household.
Sure, there’s been a lot more going on. Ali, Brandi, Ashlee, & Heather {to name a few} always give me something good to read. And I “met” a lot of new blogger/twitter friends thanks to BHAH09-or as Casey called it “the bloghippityhop”. If you stopped by & I haven’t come over to your place yet, I’m sorry. There’s something about chasing around the two Beastlets & trying to return my house to a dogless state, all the while doing the normal day to day stuff, that makes it hard for me to get everything done online that I want to.
So, eventually, some day, hopefully, ok, don’t hold your breath {holy crazy comma usage}, I’ll get back to get everything accomplished that I want to. And I’ll get that new blog set up that I mentioned before. And if you choose to keep holding your breath? I’m not responsible for the outcome. Just sayin’.
you're back! yay!
and good for you for getting rid of that stupid carpet pissing dog. better to do it now than two years from now when your house is destroyed and your kids would be old enough to protest.
I think it's ok you got rid of the dog – it's better. We got rid our dogs when we had grayson because they weren't baby friendly. and baby wins. always.
Sounds like Chickie is going to be a very happy dog where she can run, chew, and pee on things that are acceptable!!
WAY TO GO on the target spendage! I'm thouroughly impressed and a little envious that you got to go!!!
I have sooooo many blog post ideas running around in my head right now, but totally don't have the 'sit down' time to accomplish them!! SO, I TOTALLY understand!!!
In Claire's words, "Peace Chickie dumb dog."
Ha, thanks for the linky love! I've been a horrible blogger lately, haven't posted in nearly a week. I blame the boobs. Seriously.
Yay for finding the dog a good home. You can honestly tell your kids he went to the "farm" and not be lying like most parents. Welcome back!
OH NO THAT DOG DIDN'T!!! Are you kidding?!??! DUMB DOG – DUMB DOG!!! I got your back, sister!
Only dogs can summon up that amount of utter disdain. I think they out-do cats, sometimes.
Nice work on only spending $17. Not sure I could have managed that.
