Good Morning! I am up early too!!!!!!!
Yesterday was busy- then after work I sat on the patio and and my phone was ringing non-stop and I was in bed by 10:00!!!! Whoot big time party animal here!!!!
NIC- your post was sorta sad. It is a milestone to watch the kids fly the nest. When DD left for college she didn't come back. My son actually choose to live at home and go to a local collage. He has always been more of a homebody. He would do so well with a wife!
Enjoy your trip and safe travels!!!!!! TAKE PICTURES!
YAY on the continued wt. drop.
TRIG- your post was sad too........ giving up a part of what makes you happy. I wouldn't say that if I thought you abused alcohol. But I think it is fun to have a fun little drink and be pool side as well. But gosh if it isn't working drop it! I know you aren't into the sparkling waters. I totally love them! No sweetness in them either! I love them with a squirt of lime. Just thinking- plus they keep ya hydrated.
Yum on that collection of meat- bring them right on down! I will help ya with those ribs!
Finding a local butcher here is on my list!
Going to be a beautiful day! Enjoy it!
Lori- Bummer on getting up at 3!!!!! I have so done the same thing. I think it's worse when ya lay there and then FINALLY fall asleep only to have that alarm ring and time for work!
Yup- I love new things added to the house! I spend a ton on little stuff for the dollhouse. Which BTW- is valued at 250's right now! UNREAL. For a home the size of my apt.
Location , location, location.
Have a great game today- enjoy or after game beer and day!

So last night was SUCH a pretty evening. I took the Ruggles for a nice long walk and we ended up at the "doggie play area" here at the apt. Where dogs can be off leash officially- because it's a fenced area.
Anyway- long story. But when I first moved here the first week I was still so devastated over Bella not being here. (still am). But I was walking and saw a gal with a TINY puppy 6 weeks old and I busted into tears. Anyway she came over and I was telling her my Bella saga and she started crying.
Then she told me about her dog loss. Then she let me play with her new puppy.
So too fast forward the story she and the puppy who is 3 weeks older than Ruger were at the doggie park. her puppy and my puppy played and played and played last night. They just hit it off and did so well. Tumbled and dog played. Neither dog was too rough. It was fabulous. she said she takes her pooch there several times a day! I will be back.
She is a super sweet gal. Young- 30's but very sweet. She and her husband also have an older 1.5y/o German Shepard that was eyeing my puppy fiercely. He was a too big for Ruger just yet. But he wanted to play too and didn't.
Yesterday I had a hankering for crab cakes again so I made some. A LITTLE I mean LITTLE container of lump crab is 15.99 for 8 oz. Crazy but I figured if I went out to eat- bought some crab cakes they would be loaded with filler, and small. Then the sides would be slaw and fries, add 2 glasses of wine and a tip- 50+ bucks. For CRAP FOOD.
So I paid the 16 bucks and had pure lump cakes and MY slaw on my patio and that was that!
I AM GETTING OUT today.
It is beautiful and I need a road trip. Day trip. thinking St. Simon or Jeykel. It's only 7:55 right now and I am 2 cups in with coffee. I figure if I can hit the road by 8:45. I could be on the beach by 10- 10:15. Spend several hours there and then bum around the island a bit. I am going to put down blankets in the back for Ruger, he is coming. I want to get him used to the water and people.
Ok- I am off to put my feet in the sand. This is why I live here!
