Oooh, Wednesday!

So last night was much fun. Drove out to see my elder brother M and his wife B- the official reason was to meet Mr. Griffon- their brand new puppy.

The total is now 3- Codie, Cricket and Griffon. The latter is all of three months old and a very mellow puppers (pictures coming much later). He's mostly tan with a black muzzle and a bit of white along his chest (and the tips of a couple toes are white). According to the Humane Society they adopted him from he's a mix of Lab and Staffordshire Terrier. Of course, they also said he was black and white...

Griffon is such the cute, cuddly lil guy though! Was so much fun to watch him wander, and then hold him and give cuddles. He did try to chew on my fingers- puppies will do that- but was most ammenable to being given a lil bone to chew on instead. On one of his trips outside it was apparently too chilly for him as he let out a couple whiney yips.

Cricket is the mid-size 'Dobie Dog' (she looks JUST like a Doberman or Manchester Terrier in coloring- but she's too small for the first and too big for the latter). She's also Boss Lady. Codie the biggest is willing to let Cricket be boss and had mellowed with age (he's also the oldest and that only makes him about 3-4 I think). Codie is a pure mutt- they thought he was fox terrier when he was born- and thus has a 3/4 cropped tail. He's not though, he's much, much too tall to be a fox terrier. He's really slender and almost all leg. Neat coloring too.

So far the older two dogs aren't given free reign with the baby- he's a bit too little for Cricket's enthusiasm and Codie's klutziness. Soon though.

Oh, and the brother and sister-in-law are doing okay. ;) When I got home I called the hubby to let him know (the weather wasn't good and I told him I would call so he wouldn't worry), and went on and on about the dawgies. Eventually he interrupted me with 'So how are M and B?' Oh yeah, the humans... 'Fine. Griffon has the sweetest face and...'

On the other hand, B did ask if I could send her some Leo pictures, and didn't seem to take issue with my taking pictures of her dawgies but none of either herself or M...

I left there around 10pm, later than I had intended. Then ended up not getting quite enough sleep and the last few hours were uneasy because the husband (who wasn't able to sleep) had left the bed for the couch. This makes for odd sleeping on my part as I know something is missing.

But, I'm in a good mood, I got puppy play time in, and I got kitty cuddles. So all is good. How are ya'll?

It's that Pick the first sentance of the first entry of every month meme.

The Scene: New Year's Eve (Does that count as a full sentance?) Well... Back to work today after taking yesterday off. Stolen from someone on Grex.org actually. Well hello. I know I haven't been around much, and I do apologize. One of my thoughts this morning as I rushed to get ready for work. Loook! It's a Leo posing as an Alien! (both from the same month, but the one word sentence alone didn't work for me) Well, the terrible, nasty, bad sinus headache from yesterday seems to have mostly gone away. All this talk/arguing about where to donate money and I have one thing to say... Ah, the weekend was quite the lovely. Updated sashegrey with the most recent segment of The Librarian- friend's only- so let me know if you want in. A Meme!

I like this one.


You are like a pond--settled, relaxed, content,
kind, and dreamy. You are not overly ambitious
and are quite content with your current
situation. You have an extremely laidback
nature, even more so than the stream. As a
matter of fact, at times you can be just plain
lazy. But you are not lazy because you don't
like work (being the immensely positive person
you are, you find a way to enjoy everything),
it's because you are often daydreaming and
adore just lying back and spacing out. Your
friends love you because you calm them and are
forever kind and welcoming to them. You try to
offer a shoulder to cry on but find that you
simply do not like confrontations or
disturbances of any sort so you attempt to
convince them that everything will be all right
in the end without directly facing the problem.
A positive outlook on life is fantastic and
something to be treasured, but just remember
that the world is not all rainbows and
butterflies. There will be times when you need
to meet the world head-on: you'll ultimately
become a stronger person if you do.

Ya'll are being relatively quite today... so I must be posty. I hope you can bear with me.

The problem is that I don't have much to talk about. Sure, I'm tired, but then I usually am. Something to do with my wacky sleep schedule I presume. Doesn't particularly help with my motivation to go above and beyond with the job.

Oh, and for the record, I must have one of the better husbands out there. :) This morning he was kind enough to go down and brush the snow off my car, and start it for me, so that by the time I was ready to go the car was warm! It was so nice. I'm usually running out the door with little time to let the car warm up before I leave, so this was a wonderful change of pace!

Also, we had a very yummy lunch consisting of rice, spaghetti sauce and grilled chicken bits. I don't know if anyone else eats this, but it's something we just put together one day and decided we liked. It's strange how I'm actually getting more creative with food and more willing to try to do different things. Okay, so not wildly different- but I'm working on it! Gotta start somewhere, I figure.

I have very exciting plans for the evening- a nap, Stargate SG1 (or possibly Babylon 5, haven't decided), stitching, possibly some Ellipse time and a shower. Woohoo... I know ya'll are jealous.
