- We're still doing Summer Bingo. For which enthusiasm has waned a bit - although Savannah got so bored last weekend that she applied herself and managed to get a blackout. But this week, I think the kids have hardly looked at their cards. I probably need to up the ante. Make the rewards a little more interesting, or just different. Something to pique their interest...
- Gracie is doing much better. Last night was the first night that she's shown any interest at all in eating - she sat next to Asia the whole time at dinner begging for a piece of flank steak. Did she get it? You betcha. When your dog has barely eaten a thing for a week, you're inclined to let her eat whatever she shows interest in... so yes - the dog had steak for dinner. Now this morning she won't eat again. Not sure what's up with that. But I'm not getting out the leftover steak...
- She'll go in a week from today to get the staples taken out - she has 20 of them running down her stomach. It's a gnarly wound. It'll disappear once her hair grows back in, but for now, she's got a serious scar. Poor baby.
- I got a big box of new stamps from Memory Box last week... lots of new stamps for fall and winter. I spent awhile yesterday playing with them - it's Christmas in July in my studio. A little hard to find inspiration when it's 80+ degrees outside... but the stamps are SO pretty. And there are new little jewels I just LOVE! Hoping to be able to reveal them soon... not sure when we get to show them off, but for now I'm having a blast playing with them.
- Excited about this... the park within walking distance now has an awesome splash pad for the kids to cool off in on those super hot days... COOL!
- Got a job last weekend through a friend of my old boss, Kathy... taking parking fees at a dog show in Coeur D'Alene. Weird, I know. But it was supposed to pay $100 a day - and then when they paid us, they 'renegotiated our contracts' and actually ended up giving me $300 for two days' work. Kyler helped out too and got $200 of his own. Definitely worth it. Now I only need $1500 more to pay off Gracie's bill. Yikes!
- Happy Wednesday, friends!
It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.
