Sonoma Coast...

Last weekend Matt and I went to the Sonoma Coast and hung out together all day, with our dog. It feels so good to be married to someone I love to intensely when we are together. I sometimes forget that when we're feeling distant or at odds with one another, just some time together brings us right back to where we need to be. Doesn't hurt that he's got a fantastic back end.

And this weekend, we didn't really hang out but that's okay- the patio is getting closer to done and I got a nap. 'nough said 'bout a good weekend.

This one goes out to the one who started it all

Shutter Sisters had a post this week about the blogger who started it all. For me it was Andrea at Superhero Journal. I came upon her blog when googling Superhero while looking for decorations for a training I was helping with at work. I became mesmerized, I read for a few hours, found myself going back for the pictures and then started to look at the comments to find other bloggers. Today, I frequent about 15 different blogs and when I'm done checking in on them, my day feels complete. On many of them I'm still lurking, a few I've commented on and a few are people I think I might be able to be friends with in real life, but that just seems freaky to me. So thank you to Andrea for her blog which brought me to blogs and thank you to Through My Lens, Fina Drea, Knit Purl Mama, Quarter Life Crisis, Inevitable Keely, and a few others for making my day complete

If you don't like something I'm doing, you need to tell me..

Work is super frustrating right now and I am feeling like my boss treats me unfairly. I talked to the HR person today and she gave me some great pointers about approaching my boss about her attitude and the way she is speaking to me.

I cried so hard about it last night that I got a huge headache and felt nauseous. Life is too short to feel like that. Still no word about other jobs I've applied for- which stinks.

This weekend I'm dedicating myself to getting some work done and getting caught up- even though I'm dreading it.

Saturday...

A quite nice Saturday- We got up kinda early and headed to the farmers market. Only picked up Kiwi's but I got my Starbucks :) Putzed around the rest of the morning, prepped the walls with plaster for painting- color undecided- and hung out with Amy. I took the idea from "A"'s blog about a word for the year. Mine is creativity. It's something I really want to focus on, so I'm making a scrapbook for my creative endeavors- mostly photography- for the year. As dog training because a higher priority I hope that I can keep up with the creativity as well. Does dog training count as creativity?

We booked out tickets to Witch Lake (photo above) tonight for Memorial Day weekend! I can't wait!

I'm off to bed to try to get through a few more chapters/pages in The History of the World in 6 Glasses. I'm not a huge fan, but I'd like to at least get a little farther along so I can participate for tomorrows book club.

My husbands a grump

So Hubby has the week off for snow week and he's been nothing but a grump. It's raining, he has to take the cat to the vet (1st time ever), he can't get work done in the backyard because "they" aren't getting back to him, it's cold, he's tired, yada yada yada. Shut the F*** up!

I got to work from home today which was sooo nice, except for the whining husband part. I got a ton done and I got to see my pictures from shutterfly like two seconds after they arrived at my door- yippee!

I'll be able to finish off the month of January in the 2008- The Year of Creativity scrapbook.

Love Thursday- Pancakes

Happy Valentine's Day! What did the hubby get me? A subscription to Dog World Journal. Yep, I told him and although he scoffed at my idea, he is "trying" to support me. He is hoping that DWJ brings me as much pleasure and excitement that Hobby Farms brings for him.

The real treat was Matt's pancakes on Sunday morning. The best pancakes I've ever had in my entire life. I love them!

A Dog Trainer..

Sure, I can be a dog trainer! See what I can do? A shout out to Dooce- Sibley might not be as good as Chuck, but we're going to practice and practice and we'll kick some ass, especially since Coco is now around to distract the mighty one. Just wait!

Presenting- Sibley with Carrot Greens
