Sun sun and mickey ears!

We are leaving tomorrow for our trip to the "world" as it is know in our house. a couple of things

We had a great dinner on saturday with Jed who was in town. and neil if you read this i will get you that picture

sunday was a nice day until bill had to go attack the yellow jacket nest in our garage. then it was mostly scary for him.

this week has been super busy. and on top of it the peppers wont stop.... i am excited to go away for a week and not have peppers featured in 80% of my meals.

i might post pictures while we're away... don't hold you breath though.

peppers!

last night's harvest of peppers yielded 5 nice sized green bells and 5 Italian peppers.... this week i have already had peppers in eggs and peppers stuffed with peppers. i believe we will be having grilled peppers and pork chops later this week. last week it was peppers in pasta and peppers in stir fry..... any other pepper ideas?

my tomatoes are not fairing as well as the peppers yet.... but my broccoli is continuing to churn out little trees for the second month.


Edit: Add to the list peppers with veggie dip and sliced peppers on my sandwich at lunch

getting too old for this

we went and saw the 12:01 showing of batman dark knight last night. Let me just say that with2.5 hours of sleep I am functioning exceptionally well... i can type and the words in my head are making it out in decent order on the page.

the hype for the most part was true.... even as tired as i was i really enjoyed the movie. even more so since so much of it was shot here in Chicago and i was able to keep turning to bill saying remember when that was shot or remember the upside down truck or the parade sequence? but it is unnerving when the driving clips together all sorts of places no where near each other ie how did he go from millennium station to Wabash? or lower Wacker doesn't come out over there!

this weekend is off to a good start.

it's wednesday?

so the month is half gone and so is the work week.... where did my time go?

Well the majority of last week was prepping our house and food for our deck shindig we had on Saturday. and then this week has been spent eating way too many burger left overs in dog buns as we ran out of dogs and out of buns.

Thursday i have a hair cut and then we are seeing a midnight showing of batman.... i am way too old to be doing this, but this is to make up for my lack of interest in the past few action movies bill has missed out on.

Friday is the day i look forward to for months.... it is the start of the Nordstrom's sale. i am getting excited to get some new cloths and new makeup and maybe even a cute pair of shoes.

I hope to go see mama mia with lily on Sunday and Saturday we get out new coffee tables delivered and have a wedding reception to attend.


I can't believe that i will be in disney world in 16 days... yay!!!!!

Back from Cleveland

and here are some pics

more training

this weekend we signed my little Winnie up for more training. i still haven't figured out if it is worth while or not, but i like to think she is a pretty well behaved puppy.

yesterday while waiting for bill to go to the taste (in the end Monday worked better than Tuesday, mostly since training will be Tuesday nights starting last week)i read most of this book at barns. I would have to agree with the one reviewer on amazon that says it isn't the ultimate guide. But I think it confirmed what i knew and made me feel better about the choices we have made in feeding our dog what we feed her. she still gets junky food, just like i still eat McDonald's, but i do make an effort to stay away from that kind of food both for myself and my dog.

we leave for Cleveland on the 3rd. will be there for the weekend. I will probably have pics of my adorable cousins and my doggy afterwards.
