Once again, its been too long since I posted... We've been keeping busy doing things here & there. We made our first trip of the year to the lake this past weekend. I didn't take any pics so you will just have to imagine my our fun. I laid out, read, relaxed napped & poor B-rad helped his brother work on his houseboat. It's out of the water & they were working on putting in a new motor & welding some spots in the bottom... Sunday was the hottest day of the year. Yea, sucks to be them. What's even worse is that they ran into more things that needed fixed then originally planned & decided Sunday afternoon that they're going to have to haul the boat home to replace the WHOLE bottom. So the work they did the whole weekend was for nothing. That's when I would lay on the floor & cry...
I was left un-attended one Friday night & found a glorious program called, "Dooney & Bourke" on QVC. I watched for hours as a pretty, sky blue hand bag was prominently placed at the side of the screen the WHOLE night while they chit chatted about other bags. I liked said other bags, but the sky blue one sitting so sad & lonely just waiting for me wouldn't let me pick up the phone...
And when it finally came time to display pretty, sky blue handbag I was smitten... {NO - there was no purple (blasphemy)}. I kept talking myself out of it. "I don't need it." "I don't need it." But the hostess kept proclaiming, 'the sky blue is the next to sell out!!'
FOR THE LOVE..
And I did it... 5 easy payments, people - no interest. SIGN.ME.UP.
A couple of weeks ago we watched the Groves' dog, Laila, while they were on vacation. You may remember last year we watched Reese for the other McAfee's & she did NOT like B-rad AT ALL. This was a MUCH different story. Laila LOVES B-rad. Like L-O-V-E LOVES him. He rough houses w/ her & she slobbers all over him. He teases that he needs one of those Kevlar (?) suit thingies that the dudes wear when they're training dogs to attack. She's super gentle, but she's so big & muscular she hurts him without even realizing. We had her in the yard one day & she ran at me & jumped on me (which she normally doesn't do to me) & almost knocked me down. Chick is strong!
Most mornings when I got ready she would lay on the floor in the bedroom. One morning I came out from getting ready & this is where I found her. Look at that face - could you make her get down? I could not...
Her family has her accustomed to a particular lifestyle which includes sleeping in bed with them... Who are we to deprive her of that?
Besides - who thinks B-rad would kick me out of bed before he would Laila?
