Echo

Best Valentine’s Day ever. Husband took me to the whitewater center off leash. They have cows.

So right before Thanksgiving I was freaking out because I couldn’t find all of my spoons. My family thought I was crazy but lo and behold my daughter cleaned out her car and guess what she found?

Mina isn’t spoiled at all.

But he’s so stinkin cute he should get extra treats.

Oh good, it’s 6 am and Pixel the cat has decided to play the piano.

No need to open the door Mom. Just ignore the meowing.

You know, a lot of people said they couldn’t understand Kendrick Lamar’s show last year and he spoke English. It’s almost like it’s about something else.

So it turns out if you mention at the grocery store that Mina the cat really likes paper bags they just give you a few for her.

Maybe it’s a mimic she subdued.

I heard a loud thump and found this:

Mina’s proof of life photo. One black and white cat sitting on the kitchen counter where she is not supposed to be.

Imagine you are standing at the bottom of the stairs talking to your kids and a cat suddenly falls onto the stairs from the heavens and rolls down at least three stairs at the bottom. I screamed. Of course it was Mina. She seems fine but did NOT land on her feet by any means.

Pixel has wanted my seat all day.

I sent it to you.

It’s gone from “yay it’s snowing” to “has it stopped snowing yet?”

Get a German Shepard they said….

Current weather report: snow on dog.

It is probably going to snow again so I am prepping the most important part of winter weather preparedness. That’s right, I am washing the dog towels.

How stressful has work been this week? I’m off today and just opened the app to clock in when I got up to take my shower.

He still marvels about how many there were!

Practicing being cool and calm. Look how much I’m not screaming

Yep! The big Bo Box with chicken, biscuits and tea!

Find someone who looks at you like Prussia looks at the Bojangles box.

Current update: soup in the pot, simmering on the stove. Dog in the yard refusing to come inside and snuffling around in the ice. Mina is angry at the cold and sulking.

How DARE you?
Prussia also immediately wanted to jump onto the bed but she was thwarted by Mina wishing to bathe her ears.

“If you’re cold they’re cold, bring them inside” unless you have a GSD/Great Pyrenees combo, that you have to BEG to come back after she goes potty. She thinks we should all be out playing frisbee in this glorious cold.

8am report: Dog’s icy.

How we tell the weather at our house:
“Dog’s wet”
“Dog’s icy”
“Dog has snow in her fur”

She GROWLED at me.
