Thank goodness for Cute Puppies!!!
Here is the RoBo gang. They turned 4 weeks old this week, and are loving gruel! Look at those adorable mugs! That’s Linda, Newton and Viola … I had some dealings with difficult people this week – at work and at home. Why do people choose to be rude and ugly? Anyway, the mojo …
Sweet Puppies, Mental Health Nite and CARDS …
RoBo’s babies have turned three weeks old. Their eyes are open and starting to focus, ears are opening (they scare themselves when they growl or bark) and they’re getting cuter by the MINUTE!!! DH and I got together with some of my work gang this week. Many have moved on from our ER ( – …
Minimal Adulting …
We got thru tax season 2019. It was a painful week, but we beat the deadline. We did ‘OK’ this year – we felt the tax law changes, but came out ‘winning’ … For whatever reason, this year’s tax prep was UNBELEVIABLY painful. I never wanted to miss a deadline as badly! So, it’s Friday …
A Pinch of Mojo …
I’ve been working on these blanks, to eventually make a custom-request spoon rest … By the time I’m done, I’ll have a whole coffin-kiln load to flatten – and then I’ll have a whole lotta spoon rests (to cut), in what I hope are fun and unique color combinations. I’ve got a blank cooking in …
A Bit of a Rut …
It must be the time of year – DH and I are SUPPOSED to be in Paradise right about now …Unfortunately we won’t be getting away this year. And, my ‘glassy mojo’ is (apparently) on vacation. So, creatively, it’s slow-going. My card making seems to be moving along. I made a few cards last week, …
Not Much to Report …
I slept a lot this week. I think I’m trying to keep the CRUD I’m exposed to every weekend at bay with loads of sleep through the week … Maybe??? Anyway – I slept a bunch. And kept cooking to a minimum with Spinach Artichoke Ravioli and a crockpot full of Golumpki, with bushels of …
Ro-Bo Babies???
Oh my gosh – I hope so … DH and Rotunda have been on an adventure all week, with Ro getting her progesterone level tested . Today, Ro met her man – Bodacious. So, if all is successful, we’ll be having some RoBo babies!!! GAAHHH! [Fingers Crossed!) Meanwhile, I’ve been pup-sitting and keeping our clan warm …
A Good Week …
Our Xena had her babies on Sunday – four beautiful pups joined our crew. Here’s a quick pic John sent me while I was at work. [Better photos to come …] And, DH turned another year older this week. So, we started the week with Bean & Bacon soup – made with ham hock broth, …
Bits & Spurts …
That’s how my week felt, creatively speaking. I struggled with card making, but finally got a miserly-few made. I stamped these pretty layered dahlias. And then had no clue how to pull the backgrounds together. I’m not a huge fan of patterned paper, but I was eventually able to decide on four. I did …
More Baby Steps …
Cuz that’s how we move forward! But first … Look at this! Aunt Piggy and Uncle Clyde ‘lording’ over the Neo babies … Too Cute! And back to baby steps: We got the new shelving unit up – and full. I like it. Sure, I’d like it bigger, BUT … I have my lesser-used (coe96 …
