More Dog Drama

Maybe he's still angry about this costume??

I think I may need to start a Separate Blog all together called: Today Buddy Ate My.....  Because EVERY day when I come home, somethinggggggg will be destroyed.  Its almost kind of like a game now-a-days - I'm like "hmm.. there MUST be a mess somewhere, where oh where could it be" "Oh hooray, trash hidden in the hallway/vomit in the dining room/chewed shoe under the couch"... Seriously, does that sound like a party or what???? 

Back to the story.  Today when I came home from work, my pill purse...(uh, yes, I have a pill purse so I can carry my daily meds, granny-ish, yes??) So anyway, my purse thingy was on the ground kiiiind of chewed up and my birth control pills and blood pressure medication (granny-ish, yes??), were M I A !  After searching high and low I ended up finding them -- unopened, so we're all good. 

Oh, and just in case you're wondering (cough, cough, JILL!) why I don't crate him - its because he is a Vizsla, and he has a lot of energy and it would be cruel to crate him. Plus he gets crated for 5 hours every a.m. and I think thats enough.  That's probably why he tears stuff up to begin with, he's all pissy about being locked up!!  Anyways....until next time. (yes, like, tomorrow.)

The Happy Couple

In the midst of my overly jam-packed life, the hubs and I had a teensy bit of time to get some pics done last week and.... so far.. i LOVE 'em! I can't wait to see the rest!  Here are a few "sneak peaks" : )  

P.S. I wonder if she photoshopped my legs to make 'em look smaller..  MUCH appreciated!

Monkey Shower in the works!

So next weekend I'm co-hosting a monkey-themed baby shower!  I JUST finished the diaper cake, and HELLO, how CUTE is this??  I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty proud of my hard work, and this is me tooting my own horn.  And yes, I've already texted it to, like, everyone.



The person I'm co-hosting with thought up some SUPER cute ideas (Thank God because I am not the best at thinking up creative things that match the theme!)  She thought up the cutesly idea of doing a "banana split" bar - adorable right?  A girl after my own heart - I sure love me some ice cream!  We're going to have lots of sweets and and snacks, mm mmmm!!  I bought these fondant cupcake toppers, which I think are adorbs as well! 

I can't wait to see how everything comes together! :)

Mrs. MIA

Yup, missing in action!  Can someone please tell me WHERE is this year going???  Today is a day I feel like I have a few hours to catch my breath and possibly, hopefully spend the day doing a bunch of NOTHING!  [those kinds of days are my all-time fave!].  Last weekend was entirely devoted to my parents surprise vow renewal and reception (which went AWESOME b-t-w!), and spending quality time w/ the fam.  Then this past week, I worked EVERY day, flew to Denver, worked there, came home and finished the rest of the week here. work. work. work.  I feel myself getting burnt out, but I don't have much of a choice at the moment.  Its really too bad that I can't make the same kind of money in say..oh, 10 hours a week.  I could easily work that. :)  AND I probably wouldn't even complain that much.  Mayyyyybe.

In the midst of my crazy over-packed life, was Valentines Day.  Jake and I don't really celebrate - I mean, most of the time he's working, and we have date night at LEAST once every week anyway, so we never really worry with it.  This time though, he woke me up when he got home from work at 4:30 a.m. (hmm... sweet or annoying...) with breakfast, candy, and an adorable card.  I'm such a blessed girl, and my husband is the best ever!  Definitely an 'aww' moment.  Oh and in typical Sample-house fashion, I got a text from the hubs later in the day saying "Hope you read your card, Buddy ate it."  No surprises there.  I can always count on Buddy for one thing, his consistancy. 

Well I'm off to lay on the couch, watch tv and zoneeeeeeee out! WHOOHOOO!

Damn Dog.



Who can be mad at this face?



Well today while I was at work, Buddy took the liberty of eating my last two bananas off of the counter.  Seriously, if he wants to do me ANY favors he should really counter surf for junk food, not the healthy stuff!  What was he thinking?!   But anyway, when I walked in the door there was an overwhelming smell of garlic - I figured either the hubs did some cooking today or the bananas must have upset Buddy's tummy and caused some kind of foul smell reaction.  Obviously that doesn't make any sense now, but at the time it seemed feasible.  Anyway, as I made my way into the kitchen I saw that my homemade thank you cards were scattered allllllllllll over the floor (which took me HOURS to make I might add), of course my bananas were gone.  I decided to check the house for vom or diarrhea and found a pretty sick pile of one or the other.  Sooooooooo... I spent the next 10 mins cleaning and gagging and bleaching and gagging and being pissed off.  And gagging just a little more. After that I figured I could FINALLY take a seat on the couch, and what do I find??  An empty jar of garlic onion powder... annnnnd the contents spewed all over the couch.  Hmm... that explains the garlic smell.  Wonder how long THATS going to take to dissipate. 

Ahh, FUN TIMES.  I guess I love 'em anyway though.
