And I’m off

Heading back to Santa Rosa this evening. I am going to bake strawberry cupcakes from dinner on Saturday night. They are a Martha Stewart recipe. I might also bake my mechanics some cookies because they did such a great job on my car.

Beef-a-roni. But not the boxed kind. This recipe is good. You should try it. Go on… it only takes about 20 minutes to prepare.

The countdown-o-meter is OFF!

Apparently my pug countdown-o-meter doesn’t realize that February only has 28 days and not 30! It is off by two days!!! My heart knew it was wrong all along, but my dad had to do the real counting for my head to wrap around the idea that someone wouldn’t program February correctly in a countdown-o-meter. Now I am going to have to fake out the countdown-o-meter so that it is correct.

Sixteen days until Pebbles is here. Sixteen days to finish her little snuggle bed that my mom insists that she won’t use. Sixteen days to dream about her morning walks, her nighttime snores and her general cuteness.

Are you guys sick of this yet? Because I seriously am excited over here.

Magazine holders.

Because Winemonkey and I apparently subscribe to all of the big magazines. I don’t mean “big” as in the most popular, I mean “big” as in format. Like the Wine Spectator, Rolling Stone, and Cook’s Country. We aren’t exclusive. We also subscribe to regular sized magazines, including Martha Stewart Living, Cook’s Illustrated, and ReadyMade, as well as little magazines like Craft. But the later two categories FIT in magazine holders so they are not an issue.

The magazine people and the magazine holder makers need to get together and solve this problem before I go CRAZY!

p.s. Up until this moment I had no idea we had so many magazines coming our way. No wonder we need organizers!

When good ideas go wrong.

Wow. I don’t know what possessed me to start going through my pictures and organizing them… but holy crap. I got a lot of pictures. And up until 2007 I was doing a pretty crappy job sorting them. Before I was sorting them by category and now I am reorganizing them by date…

So for all of you picture-taking fools out there – How do you organize your photos?

March 8th

Well it has been confirmed. We won’t be picking Pebbles up until March 8th. The first weekend in March is just too busy for everyone involved. It does mean one more week of anticipation for us, but it also means that Pebbles will have a longer time to adjust with us.

Today was her surgery and Traci says that she is doing well. They are going to relax and watch tv. I wish I could snuggle too! She said that Pebbles didn’t need a cone after her surgery because she is so calm.

One of the best parts about Pebbles is Traci. She has been keeping me informed and has even agreed to send me more pictures! It is nice to knnow that Pebs is recovering in Traci’s bed with her and that she isn’t in a crate by herself.

Now I just have to add another week to my countdown-o-meter.
