Warm & Cozy

Our house is pretty cold.  Keith has freaked out over our +$400 PE&E bill.  So as Keith and I are warm and cozy under the blankets, poor Wyatt is freezing.  I decided the best remedy would be to get Wyatt a warm sweater.
As I browsed the isles of Petco, there were slim pickings for large dogs.  They had dog Snuggies, dog rain coats, but only one big dog sweatshirt.  I had Wyatt all dressed up to show off his new attire.  Of course, Keith was horrified when he came home to a dressed dog.  His excuse for removing the sweater was that Wyatt could possibly get stuck on something and choke himself. Hmmmm, interesting.  I am not normally one for dressing up animals, but he does look so cute and he is warm and cuddly.

Wyatt loves his sweater and did a little dog modeling for me today.

SEXY TIME

I got some new shoes! I am sharing because these shoes are not something I would normally buy.  For those who know me well, you know I usually wear sweats and walking shoes everyday.  One, because they are comfortable but also because I am lazy.  Walking in heals all day is hard, I mean it is like a constant calf workout- really why would I put myself through that.
I am going to try and change my ways- NOT EVERYDAY- but I am going to be little more sexy on days that I am somewhere other than work.  So, look out world, the new and improved, sexy shoe wearing Dorothy is being unleashed!

Keep Away

I have heard several stories about horrible solicitors coming to peoples doors.( Rob and Alyssa being the most recent.)  I have not experienced any negativity from people trying to sell me stuff.
However, I am kind of sick of answering the door when I get home, only to be fed a line of crap to try and get me to buy there blah blah blah.  I do not care if you want o go to Europe, maybe I want to go to Europe,  Get a job and pay for a damn ticket.
I was not really sure how I felt about NO SOLICITING signs.  I still want the cute Girl Scouts to come and the little kids down the street that sell lemons in the summer.  So how do you get rid of one kind but keep the other?  The answer is... go to Etsy, buy a supercute & friendly NO SOLICITING sign and then talk to your neighbors whose kids are Girl Scouts or whose kids come to sell you lemons. Tell them the sign is not for them.
Hopefully it will keep the 'bad' guys away, but they won't want to break my sign because it is too cute!

Hearts

Here are all my Valentine hearts...

My first and favorite piece of art...

My birthday card from Debbie had another version of my painting...I framed it-I LOVE IT!

Debbie also got me this super cute necklace with another one of the artists heart paintings.

I love the heartist (that is what she calls herself - a little cheesy (but I like it)), Debbie Marie Arambula

What the Pho?

The rainy, cold weather (and the fact I am not allowed to use the heater in my own house because the bill was too high (according to Keith)) Keith and I have been on a ramen and pho binge.  We found a new tiny place, in an out of the way shopping center, that serves up some of this yummy warm soup.  So, on Monday we decided we would try and make this delicious meal.  We gathered all the ingredients, which I might add, are not all that appetizing and headed home.

The recpie called for a good amount of prep and 6 hours of a simmering broth.  So, I went to it last night and started the process.  The broth turned out yummy!  Today we will add the meat, noodles and maybe some egg (my new favorite) mushrooms and green onions.  The recpe is long and the following link has great pictures, so I am going to direct you the experts.

Have PHOn!

Ridiculous or Hilarious?

My husband may be seen on the next post on peopleofwalmart.com.

Keith and Brian went duck hunting, and this was the gear. Can you see him?

Blessings

I love picture Christmas cards.  Last year I decided to start saving my picture Christmas cards in a scrapbook.  Nothing fancy, I just write the year and glue them in.  It  was fun this year to see how much kids grew and how families expanded.  It also makes a great coffee table book.
