Valentine’s Day this week, people! I know this because
the number of messages I’ve received from men/dating sites is out of
control. I haven’t responded to any of
them, b/c well, I didn’t want to. But I
like knowing that other people in the world are panicking about their Friday
evening plans, and I’m not. Don’t be
confused, I don’t have a date or anything.
I just accidentally planned a trip to Reykjavik instead. Maybe someone will call in love with my
beautiful blue, sometimes, green, and sometimes grey, eyes while I’m
there. You know, because that’s the only
part of me that will be visible during my trip.
Unfortunately, this update is going to be a short one
for two reasons, one because I can’t delay it’s delivery, and two because
nothing really of note happened last week.
Some things happened that if you called me, I’d totally whine about, and
at the time, they felt very important, but not update worthy, surely. I also got whined to. These are also very good stories, but are
definitely not for public consumption.
Too bad, so sad. I also spent a
ridiculous amount of my time washing my hands and disinfecting things b/c I am
a germaphobe surrounded my sick people.
That leaves me with, Tuesday, showing up to the dog
park, and to my utter delight, found a surprise guest, Becky! I guess she decided to wait until it hit 25
degrees and then put on her walking shoes.
She got to see my mothering/disciplinarian skills in full effect. This consisted of me saying, “wrong way,
Percy” every time he tried to bark at another dog, until he realized I was
leaving him, and he decided it was a good time to stop. We’re working on it. The only way this whole walk in the morning
this is possible, is that Dawne takes the pups back home after the walk, and I
go directly to work. I take Percy’s coat
off, and put him in the back of the Jeep – and normally, I put my empty coffee
cup next to the crate. On Monday, I was
feeling bad about Dawne carrying my empty cup, so I took it back in my car with
me. But then, Dawne told me she spent
ten min looking for the cup – and I don’t want to do that to her ever again…
Dawne and I proceeded to opt out of walking for
Wednesday – Friday because it was super super cold, and we don’t need to do
that to ourselves (despite what my previous update said. That was then, this is now.)
Percy also got pretty knotted up last week, and I tried
to brush him myself, but I’m soooo bad at it.
Instead, we went to the groomer, and they got all the knots out and
proceeded to give him a haircut that I hate.
Dawne loves it b/c she likes that he’s showing off what a peanut head he
has, but I regret that they cut his long eyelashes, adorable paws and that he
looks like a peanut head.
Oh! We had a little parade on Wednesday. 700,000 people showed up, or so I hear. I went to work, and heard the parade news on
the big screen behind me for hours on end (warmer, but not quite the same
effect.) On Friday, we had did the Sabbath, and Zach’s friends joined us. Saturday morning, I asked Kelly to meet me at
REI for last minute shopping. She
proceeded to pick up a bunch of items she may or may not need, and I walked out
empty handed. I did pick up these at
Bartells:
I text Becky and Kelly: I got these for all three of us,
YW
No response
Me: I can’t believe no one responded to this.
Kelly: Thank you
Me: I thought you were going to make fun of me, but
thank you works.
Kelly: I struggle with hygiene issues.
Me: I was going to say something but…
Then I walked around taking pictures of the remodel
progress, and packed a bit. Watched a
couple of movies with Zach, very exciting.
On the recommendation of Matty, I watched “John Mulaney, New in Town” and it was humorous, but also
weirdly reminded me of Roy when I first met him.
And this describes a lot of my weekend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKaijlTs2Ns
Then it SNOWED! So I had a great excuse to do more of
the nothing and it was SUPER. Also, how
cute are Casper and Percy (Yes that is Percy’s head in Casper’s mouth.):
