My week thus far...



This has been (another) non productive week so far. Our MinPin, Roxy, went into heat. We went through this once before and swore to get her fixed before it happened again. Well, we didn't make it. To be honest, it slipped our minds. Not to mention the funds just haven't been there either. So, of course, Hershey isn't fixed either. M has this thing about him being a boy and losing his balls. Men. Regardless, it's never been a problem. Until Roxy entered the picture.

She's been camping out at my parents house since Monday. But naturally, Hershey got a good wiff of that magic scent and has been a nightmare ever since. He whines constantly, pacing from door to window and back again. He barks for no reason. Like in your face barks. He's tried to hump me multiple times. Which normally doesn't bother me as I just shake it off, but this go round he has this crazed look in his eyes. Tuesday night he literally growled if M got anywhere close to me. 

The situation is funny. Was funny. Now I just want to pull my hair out! Here's hoping this heat cycle is over soon. I need to get some work done, or sleep. Sleep would be nice.

Just because I want to share a bit of my misery, here is just one minute of what I've been listening to all week. Enjoy!! (did you see I finally got a youtube video to show up? go me!)



And yes, I do still have a Halloween Cat Windsock thingy hanging up. I'm to short to reach it and to lazy to get a stool. And yes, my house phone is still ringing "We wish you a Merry Christmas". This is not odd, it's unique. :)

Newsprint Fingernails


Since the first day I joined Pinterest, I've had the newsprint nails pinned. Today, I decided to do it. This first attempt is by no means perfect. A few nails smeared. A few the print very faint. I even messed up my nail polish on 2 nails, but after 3 coats, I wasn't starting over. All in all, I think it turned out pretty cute!

48 Questions


So I have officially decided that I'm just not cut out for this blogging thing. I love it, I do. But I get so caught up in other things that I just don't think about it. I'm hoping one day I'll improve. I do have some things I've been wanting to post and just haven't made myself sit down and do it. So until then, here's some questions about me just for fun.
