When I have nothing to blog about, I blog about the dogs

I adore etsy to no end. I love the idea of supporting individuals instead of companies, and most often, the items on there are so adorable. Really it’s impossible not to find something you love and that’s exactly what you are looking for.

The other weekend I was looking for some replacement dog tags since Maisie had managed to lose hers. And I found these adorable tags from Urban Puppy. I fell in love, but knew we had a problem: Brodie is a boy. And no boy of mine was going to be walking around with a heart on his tag. He’s a man’s man. So I messaged the seller asking if she could do a more “boyish” tag for Brodie. And she did. And they are awesome:

A picture of Maisie. Just because LOOK HOW CUTE!

And Brodie too!

This is only a small portion of the insane shopping I’ve been doing lately to cope with my angst over busy season. I’m thinking it’s time for some form of intervention, otherwise I might as well buy my own franchise of Pier 1, Bath and Body Works, and maybe even a Fry’s while I’m at it. But if anyone needs some Nectarine Mint hand soap, I think I have about three in our guest bathroom. Don’t judge. They smell like heaven.

It’s just a little paint.

Oh hello there readers. It’s only been a whole month without hearing from me. I hope this makes up for it! Now what in the world have I been up to? Well let’s start with a lot of working late, add in a week of bronchitis, and throw in a bathroom painting project just for fun. I’m lucky my husband hasn’t given up and left me for someone else who isn’t insane.

I think he’s forgiven me because the bathroom before was quite a dungeon. And now? Now it’s so pretty! Really. I think I want to live in it.

See for yourself!

Before. Let’s see.. ugly wood paneling, ancient rusty mirror threatening to fall and kill someone, 80’s shelf thing. Just not pretty.

Step One. Buy new HUGE mirror. Check out that price tag. Big Lots for $30! It was amazing. I almost cried. Okay not really. But deal of the century? Yes I believe so.

The next room for painting is our living room. We have the routine down, so it should be pretty quick. If only I could stop being such an insane perfectionist. Really I think that doubles the amount of time it takes for us to paint. What room in your house are you itching to paint?

The last minute of this video may only be funny to me.

I love me some keyboard cat. It will without a doubt make me laugh. You can also add the last thirty seconds of “Do you wanna see my dance?” and Maisie with a cone on her head to that list. So I will use that as my excuse for the last minute of this video. Too bad you have to sit through four minutes of my chatting to get to that part. But I will tell you, there is one photo of the babies thrown into the video. So if nothing else, there’s your motivation to watch.

in dog years.. Today is Brodie’s birthday! The website I use to help me remember to give the dogs their monthly heartworm medicine sent me an email today letting me know that today was Brodie’s birthday.. Gosh how nice, but come on! What horrible mother wouldn’t know it was her dog’s birthday?!

Yeah that would be me.

So what a nice surprise, and I gave Brodie extra hugs today.

Just for you, a picture of puppy Brodie. I decided to transfer over all my old pictures from the mac to our laptop, and I got all nostalgic looking at his puppy pictures. Seriously he was so adorable with his huge nose and head compared to his tiny puppy body.

Gosh he was the cutest little puppy..
