Feelin like a housewife.

Finally. For the first time in a while, I feel like a true housewife. I got up, showered and actually did my hair and makeup (this is a huge accomplishment for me on a weekend), made breakfast, and started takin care of business. Today I.....

1. Found a new home for Pepper (aka Piggy) the puggle
2. Hired some neighborhood kids to mow my yard
3. Made brownies
4. Made tea
5. Cleaned the kitchen and bar
6. Took care of all the dishes
7. Picked up the house
8. Took this picture:

SadieBug

She "stood" like this for at least 2-3 minutes. I have no earthly idea why. Good thing she's cute.

Later today, I will...
1. Do homework
2. Go to the grocery store
3. Buy hubby's anniversary present
4. Have friends over and enjoy the evening.

Yay for a good weekend!

Littledog's Second Birthday

My Littledog is all growed up! Tomorrow (August 1st) is his second birthday and we had a mini party for him last night. I was trying to come up with the menu with Jonathon and I said "well, it's just the 4 of us so what should we have?" He responded: " Umm, there actually 7..." to which I freaked out about. Who else did he invite?! I wasn't planning for 7! Then he got a little flustered: "Liz, it's me, you, Courtney, Zach, Little, Sadie and Suki (their puppy)...you're a horrible mom. I can't believe you forgot to include the birthday boy!!" Yea. That's my husband for ya. 
We had a great night: New York strip steaks, cheddar mashed 'taters, (almost) corn on the cob, pasta salad, red wine and the most amazing Texas sheet cake (thanks to Courtney!). The guys grilled while I chatted with Courtney in the kitchen and the pups played. Last year, I went all out with decorations and party hats and more than one other couple and pup as guests. I was going to make a peanut butter birthday cake and snickerpoodles again, but seeing as how my house didn't even get cleaned, I decided I should pass on that. Instead, I bought these adorable doggie doughnuts from a little doggie boutique/bakery in Occoquan.

(Side note: we had this wonderful red wine, Red Velvet from Cupcake Vineyards. Absolutely amazing)

Puppydogs galore!

"Whoever said you can't buy happiness forgot little puppies"
"The more people I meet, the more I like my dog"
"If you want a little dog to know he's small, tell him"
"To err is human, to forgive, canine"
"Dogs feel very strongly that they should always go with you in the car, in case the need should arise for them to bark violently at nothing right in your ear"
"There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face"

Littledog is my pride and joy. He's my 13 pound Cavalier King Charles spaniel mix with an underbite, big bug eyes and a tongue that just doesn't quit. 



I'm pretty sure he has some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder because all he does is lick - lick himself, lick other dogs, lick people, lick everything. He's a sweetheart though. He's always concerned about my well-being. I never get to go anywhere alone - he follows me to the kitchen, the bathroom, the couch, the bed, everywhere. He's my little shadow.

Sadie is my gorgeous, sweet lil hound dog. She's still a puppy, only 7 months, so she's crazy but just so pretty.

That was her - she just jumped up and wanted to say hello. 


The whole point of this post was to explain how conceited she is. Like I said, she's a very pretty girl and she knows it. Gorgeous tri-color markings, long floppy ears, a crooked tail, big puppy dog eyes and legs that go on for miles. Her favorite activity is to stare at herself in the mirror. This morning, she stood on the bed and stared at herself in our full-length mirror. Then after a few minutes, she moved over a foot or two to look at herself in our bathroom mirror. A few minutes later, she turned around to look in our dresser mirror. No amount of calling her name will distract her. The only way to break her gaze is to physically move her. 

So. 
Very. 
Conceited.

But I blame myself. I tell her how pretty she is and put her in pretty clothes and paint her nails hot pink. She knows she's a princess and fully acts the part.
