A Typical Mo-Dog Day…

Sitting at our feet while we eat breakfast…

Being used as a pillow. Doesn’t she look thrilled?

Having her personal bubble invaded…either by us or by a camera.

Enjoying some cuddle time while enjoying the KU game…

Poor thing is completely unloved.

Gimpy…

All of this for a ripped toe nail! The funniest part is the way she walks when not distracted by something else. I can’t even begin to describe it. So I leave you with the photo…in all of it’s pink and purple hearted glory!

Sleep Interupted…

Look at how cute she is asleep, all curled up in a tiny ball.

Well, till I decide to take a picture that is.

It’s a rough life.

Oh the drama…

not for me, well sort of. And really there are a few people who could be voted off the planet and cause a little less drama in my world but that’s not the point of this particular post. Today’s drama was all about my poor Mo dog.

First, today was filter maintenance day so Maddie had to be shut in the bedroom all day. Plus there were unknown people in her home. Not cool with her.

Second, I came home and went to open the bedroom door when I realized it wouldn’t open. My first thought is that it was sticking because it was humid. Unfortunately…. not the case. The door was locked. From the inside. Ya, good times. I messed with the door knob for a little bit and couldn’t get anything to work, so I left a message with maintenance but was not real optimistic on my chances there. So then one of my coworkers popped into my head because she and her husband are real fix-it’s. So I called her and she said that she’d bring his tool box and come over. Right after I hung up with her I remember that I had a really small screwdriver like the kind you use on tiny screws like glasses or something. I managed to wiggle it around and bingo, it opened. Oh and during the whole thing, Maddie was FREAKING out on the other side.

Finally, I took Maddie for a nice walk because I was feeling bad about her dramatic day. Let’s just say it’s 85 degrees out there and while she did fine outside, she’s now panting like nobody’s business.

To end on a happy note…It’s happy almost Friday day!

Not so much a dog…

as a baby really, especially when sleeping. She loves her humans!

Tuesday Randomness…

We start this random post with my wonderful muffin from Saturday. You know why it was so good? Because the majority of it was muffin top and we all know that’s the best part of muffins. See look at all the crumbly top…

See how the top was bigger than the bottom…

In other randomness…I finally found lamps at Target thanks to Steph. I love the look of them!

Finally, this is when you know that your dog is slightly needy…

Mo just had to be touching me so she slept with her snout on my leg. Needy I tell you.

What a rough life…

Apparently the couch alone isn’t soft enough for my delicate dog. She managed to find a little more comfortable spot in my pillow.

Poor thing…she obviously has a rough life.

My week…

We started the week at work with no financial systems as they were being upgraded by our National office. The new systems were launching on Tuesday morning so Monday was filled with random stuff we’d all been putting off. Tuesday started with an email announcing the “successful launch” of the new systems…let’s just say that it was a little premature. Three systems were included in the upgrade…I could get into one and it was the one that I only use once a month or so. The funniest part is that as Tuesday and Wednesday went by, new emails were sent out talking about how this part or that part of one of the systems wasn’t working. It just kept getting worse as time went on. In the end, I was finally able to get into all the systems on Friday… at 4:30pm

In other news from my week, I went over to one of my small group girl’s houses last night for a girly movie night.  Two Weeks Notice never fails to be funny no matter how many times I watch it. LOVE Hugh Grant! It was fun to get to know her better and movies are always more fun with more than one person to watch it.

Today has been spent doing some random cleaning, wearing out my dog, watching Miss Prettygrew Lives for a Day, and doing my taxes. Amazingly enough, all of these things have made for a very enjoyable Saturday. And now a few photos…

Nothing like a little Photo Booth fun

Yummy Parmesan Garlic Pretzel Waves!

A slightly imposing looking Mo-dog…
