Slice of Life - Day 136

Today was a great day! Slept in until around 10 then got up and took Kalli straight to the dog park for playtime. It was so hot out while we were there and I really enjoyed my chat with my little dog park social club :) Kalli found a new friend (Bentley) and they were attached at the hip the entire 2+ hours that we were there. We met a new puppy named Billie who is a Shepard X and is absolutely adorable! It was love at first sight for me. All of the usual suspects were there and both Kalli and I were sorry when it was time to leave. After this we went shopping for some food as we had arranged to have Chris, Brea and Kyah over for dinner... went and got some steaks, potatoes, corn, salad stuff and pie and then came home to get some yard work done. I mowed the front and back lawn, planted a few things, did some weeding and built a mini stone creek bed to the ditch for the driveway to drain into when it rains and then got dinner ready to go. After I got everything ready I had an hour to spare so went off with Gir to do my favorite thing - nap! Had a quick snooze and got up just in time to get the potatoes in the oven and finished making the salad right when B came home. Then Chris, Brea and Kyah arrived and we spent the rest of the night watching the puppies play and having good conversation with friends in my very pretty yard. Yet another awesome day!!

Slice of Life - Day 135

Today I spent the day cleaning our house. It had somehow become quite messy with a big pile of dishes in the sink, tons of laundry and a very dirty floor. So after sleeping in nice and late I tackled all of the mess and got it pretty clean in here. I had a companion the whole time that I slept late in the morning and again later when I had a quick nap. Gir has been very cuddly and lovey lately and sleeps on my head most nights. This is him curled up against my pillow while we napped :)

Slice of Life - Day 117

We made Nachos again tonight... I like this because we have fun making them together. They were yummy but oh my gosh, so filling.

Then we sat on the couch for hours catching up on all the episodes of House. While watching I looked over at us and had to giggle... us, two cats and a dog all snuggled on the couch together... how silly... and sweet.

Slice of Life - Day 89

Super lazy day here... slept in, surfed, had a nap, went to Five Corners Cafe for lunch, walked the dog, surfed some more, read for an hour or so, had another longer nap, got dinner at Safeway, watched two episodes of 24 then the news... surfed some more, now time for bed. Lazy lazy day.

• B didn't want to be in today's photo except for his hand
• The Buckcherry poster is from the window of the Five Corner's Cafe. I go there once a week for lunch with Anna and know the girls a little... I told them I wanted the poster when it first went up but they told me I had to wait til after the show but then today I walked in with B and sat down and my favorite waitress went and took it out of the window and handed it to me :) Yeeehaaw!!!
• This is actually Monday's post, it says Tuesday cause I'm a little late in posting (it's 1am)

Slice of Life - Day 88

Did nothing exciting today... didn't know what to take a photo of so I decided on the usual suspects.. the animals :)

I got them all in there... you can even see a blurry hopping bunny in the last one with Brendan and Zim. Zim used to always love B best but in the 6 months to a year has become more my cat. It is me she curls up with at night and sleeps with etc but today she totally was just wanting B so I wanted to document that.

I also wanted to get a photo of Patches... she is such a good easy cat... no complaints, no bad behaviors (well besides catching birds and bringing them in the house but that's a cat thing so I cant complain) and she almost gets "lost" in the chaos around here just because she doesn't ask for much. She doesn't break into the oven to get food, doesn't come wake me up every morning at 5am, doesn't chase the dog around the house etc. Sometimes I feel like she must feel that we don't give her much attention... but I love her to bits! I try to tell her but I'm just not sure she understands my meowing at her... I think she just might think I'm a little nuts :)

Slice of Life - Day 85

Cute kitties... The beanie baby that Zimmie Zoo is holding is one of their baby toys from when they were first born. We put a few of them in their "crib" (box) to keep them company when Bonkie was out and about. They have just been stored in a basket since then and tonight when Zim was sleeping on top of my bookshelf I gave her one and she held it and licked it all clean then went to sleep with it :)

On the one that has only the beanie baby in focus she would hold it out to me and then pull her paw back and rub her face all over it before licking it some more... awwww!

Slice of Life - Day 78

So today I spent my morning in the hospital and my afternoon antique shopping. I have been on the hunt for a few metal flower frogs for a while and was considering purchasing them on ebay but the shipping is a little pricey due to how heavy they are. So I have been wanting to drive out to Fort Langley to check out an antique mall that I used to go wander around in after school and on weekends when I lived there. It is made up of a bunch of different peoples stalls all blending into one vintage mess basically... but a beautiful mess I must say. I found 5 different frogs... all basically the same but different sizes... they weren't the exact ones I was looking for but I bought a couple anyway. These ones have a green plastic base and the ones I really want have a metal base and usually have a nice patina due to their age and the fact that they spend lots of their time in a vase full of water. I tried a few more shops there and then went out to Cloverdale where I found one more like what I wanted. So I came home with three of them, none exactly right but all will work and the third one is pretty close.

Then I caught up on some tv shows I have missed and Brendan had downloaded for me... the first being Greys Anatomy which was awesome and made me cry. B got home as that one was ending and sat and watched two episodes of Criminal Minds with me. Somewhere during the first one of those I had an allergy attack which was bad enough that I had to take stupid Benadryl...boo... and that is the reason this post is late... although its supposed to be non-drowsy it always messes me up and I passed out. Brendan nicely took a photo of my passed out self but when I woke up I was too drowsy to post here... so that is why it is late :)

Slice of Life - Day 59

Christina and Paul came out from Vancouver tonight to celebrate Paul's Birthday. We went to Sidharth Grill for dinner with the McKay's. Dinner was amazingly tasty as always followed by a delicious cake that Christina brought. I snapped a quick family portrait when we got home before they left and then B and I took Kalli for a walk because she was uber hyper :)

Slice of Life - Day 40

Do you think my babies missed me? All but the rabbit are laying somewhere on the couch with me - this never happens!

Sick today, seemed to have caught B's flu and I literally havent moved from this couch except to pee all day.

Project 365 - Day 6

This wasn't the photo that I had planned for today's POD but he looked so sweet and was so lovey that I couldn't resist.

Gir!
