Here's your sign!

Quick, somebody check the color of my neck! Well, not me so much as my brother in law! This weekend, while hanging out with my sister and brother in law, thier large dog (Chauncey) got thirsty.

Its the funniest thing, he BEGS for beer! He will sit right next to Austin and stare at the bottle. Now, you have to understand that Austin often pours a small amount on the floor for Chauncey to sip right up, and he loves it.

So Chauncey is sitting there begging for some beer, and starting to whine about it. He is getting very pushy and we are just sort of laughing at him. Then Austin starts to pour it into his mouth- and he drinks it right up!

Some other fun with the doggies this weekend-

My dog is the laziest dog I know. On Saturday morning, I got up at 8am and started doing laundry, cleaning up the kitchen and other fun things. I realized, after about an hour (9am) that I hadn't taken Griffin outside yet! But, then I hadn't seen him up and at my feet yet either.

So, I went back into the bedroom and found him curled up under his blanket, with his head on my pillow asleep on the bed... (he woke up when I tried to take the picture)

I guess its true, dogs suite thier owners... I got a sleeper, just like me!

This was later in the day on Saturday- he was thrilled to watch the kids play outside all day from the comfort of his window!

Borning, peaceful, restful weekend, and I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Its January already!

I know, most of you already know this... but I think I have been living under a rock for a few weeks. It hit me today that it is January 20th! Where did the holidays go, where did January go?

I have not updated my blog since November, I am making a new years resolution- I will not go a whole month without updating anymore! (lets see how long that lasts...)

So, whats new since November?

- My parents were here for christmas! That was fun, we had 6 people in my sister and brother in laws house, along with 7 dogs! It was a fun, chaotic madhouse. But none of us would have wanted it anyother way.

New Years was a blast- I was such a party animal that I was asleep by 10:30 pm! Wheww.... seriously, I need to calm down. My thoughts are- every other year I have stayed up, wished good thoughts for the new year and each year, I feel "let down" at the end of the year. So, this year, I rang it in with my eyes shut, buried under the covers and comfortable- maybe the end of the year will be a happy comfortable one too! We'll wait and see.

- I am still working on my 40 by 40 list, nope- havent forgotten about it yet.... I'll update you on that soon.

- My year long "assignment" at Our Childrens House is sadly coming to an end in March. I am in the process of finding another place to go, but it looks like I could head south for a bit- maybe coastal or Austin... keep your fingers crossed for coastal (unless we can find something around Ft. Worth).

I know there was so much more that happened in the past 2 months, but I'm tired and cant think. Good night.
