Stinking Up a Whole Room

How can a dog this small

Stink up an entire room by simply licking her own butthole?

If you know something, say something.

We're dying over here.

Friday Faves

1. Starbucks VIA instant iced coffee.

Homemade iced coffee is a pain in the booty-hole to make. How much easier could Starbucks make it for you? Maybe selling it pre-mixed by the half-gallon? Just saying, Starbucks. Just saying.

2. This gluten free quinoa pasta.

I don't know for sure that I am gluten intolerant, but my mother has tested positive for it and I have been struggling with a few of the symptoms myself (namely eczema and digestive issues). Plus knowing that wheat is not great for me from reading some of this book (and the oh so reliable method of judging this book by its cover), it doesn't completely break my heart to make some attempts to reduce it in my diet. Some gluten free pastas suck balls, but this kind is delicioso! BTW, this is coming from the girl who just ate a cupcake. Not a gluten free cupcake; just a cupcake.

3. The fact that we may be buying a house very very soon.

I can hardly contain my excitement!!!! But I will. I'll contain it and save it for a future post.

4. Audio books!!!

I love them! They count as reading, and anyone who says differently is lying, cheap, stubborn, old-fashioned, or just plain jelly! It's called multi-tasking, people! This it what I'm currently reading. Don't. Hate.

5. Springtime! Enough said. No picture necessary

6. Winnie Bear.

Obviously. This isn't turning into a blog about my dog, I swear. But she is the bomb-doggity and I cannot ignore that!

7. This lipstick.

It's perfect for all those in club lip gloss that just cannot step foot into club lipstick without feeling like a poser clown fool. Just me? I'm wearing #819.

8. Sandals! Oh how I've missed you!


Also, about 90% of the time when I attempt to type the word " you," I type the word "toy." Again, just me?

That's all. You may return to your regularly scheduled pollen induced zombie-coma. Happy Spring!

p.s. Nobody paid me to write niceties about their products or services. Obviously. The only person who reads this blog is my mom. All of the nice things I have to say are purely my opinion.

This week in Winnie

Someone has Spring Fever!!!

Winnie Luurrves the Vacuum

Shortly upon arriving home with our precious pup Winnie, we made an important discovery: Winnie luurrves the vacuum. 

Check her out in action:

OK. Maybe it's hate, and not love, that she feels for the mysterious electrical beast.

It's still a strange departure from the reaction I'm used to seeing in my dogs. Namely fear. A cold, shivering, mind-numbingly irrational fear, that makes them bolt desperately away, hide under a desk in the basement, and quiver violently for a good 20 minutes after you put the thing away.

Oh, Winnie! You fearless wolf, you! I'm incredulous at your bravery and swagger!

Faves

I just returned from my daily hour long walk with Miss Winnie (that resolution makes more sense now, eh? It was all about Winnie girl). The sun was out, and the weather was just beautiful. Walking Winnie is one of my favorite parts of the day, even when it's not nearly 50 degrees in January. This walking resolution has been great. It forces me to get outside, exercise, and spend some serious quality time with my husband each evening. Not the kind of quality time where you are doing work, like preparing dinner; or the kind of quality time where your zoning out on the couch together watching New Girl. But a more genuine and interactive kind of quality time where you zone out on everything else except for each other. It's very nice. Of course, at 2:30 pm on a Tuesday, I did not get to experience that aforementioned quality time. Alas, Joe was at work, and I had to go at it alone (I had today off in exchange for working this Saturday).

But in speaking of favorite things, I'm gonna go all Mary Poppins on you throw out some more of my favorite things.

• French Vanilla non-dairy creamer
• Tinted Moisturizer (for mornings I am like, "F*#$ MAKEUP")
• Blush (for my devoid of any rosiness olive skin)
• Having olive skin (Looking tan in Jan- WHAT WHAAA?)
• Bare minerals (because it is the only makeup I've ever used that color matches to my olive skin)
• Dried fruit and nut mixes (to counteract the high fructose corn syrup in that creamer, obviously)
• Diet soda (to undo the balance attained with the fruit and nut mix)
• Pajama jeans
• Sunshine in January
• NFL PLAYOFFS
• Chicken wings
• Veggie sausage (um... it's delicious and ready in 45 secs.)
• Sheepskin boots (which require no socks!)
• THE BALTIMORE RAVENS! (OBV)
• My Winnie
• Joe
• Other loved ones (etc.)
• Banana peppers
• Audible (It's worth the money. I swear.)

And now, I will leave you with a few pictures that will place this random, jumbled blog post into a pretty little box, tie a ribbon around it, and make you all collectively say "awwwwww" with confused adoration, and forget that I did not bother to properly organize and end this
