Can't wait to visit this weekend!

I know many years ago I made Lo and Stevie promise me that I would not be stuck with an awful, unstylish diaper bag when I had a baby. I think I even talked them into making sure I got a Juicy Couture or Coach bag or something ridiculous! Aren't they the best? Anyway, I think I have found a slightly cheaper (although still not cheap) and extremely cute new favorite (See the pic above). They have these Petunia Picklebottom bags at Pottery barn Kids and I just love them. I love the gray one and it can be worn as a messenger or a backpack. I actually saw a mom wearing one the other day! So cute! There really are so many options these days and it hard just to pick one of anything, but I really cannot wait to get shopping!

I am pretty sure that Lila has been traumatized for life. A couple of weeks ago, I put a big, heavy quilt in the washer to clean it. It had been raining and Lila was wet so I had her in the gated off area next to the laundry room and pantry to dry off a little. Of course, the blanket got stuck all on one side and it made the washer go haywire. Not just spinning out of balance, but it was so loud I literally thought we were getting bombed. When I jumped up off the couch and ran to laundry room I see the washer about a foot away from it's usual place it is practically jumping up and down. I fling the gate open and run over and press the stop button on the washer, before it made it any further.

Phew, my heart was pounding from all the adrenaline and honestly I didn't really even notice that when I flung the gate open Lila darted to the other end of the house, our bedroom. Once I readjusted the blanket and got the washer started again I turn around to see that Lila was so scared she literally crapped herself (excuse me). Poor thing didn't even ever poop in the house as a puppy! So I clean up the mess and went to search for Lila and found her in Maverick's cage (her favorite place). It took a lot of enticing to get her out, but once I did she was shaky and a frantic mess.

I let her out to make sure she didn't have any more business to take care of and she shot out the door and ran under the porch. I didn't even try and get her out, and she eventually emerged about 20 minutes later after going to the door and checking on her a few times. Needless to say since then she no longer follows me into the laundry room when I am do laundry and definitely no longer sits there and watches me fold. She will either stay in the bedroom or go and get in Maverick's cage until I leave the laundry room. Poor thing. She has been really skiddish since then too, any loud noises and she's up and barking, which is unusual for her. Maybe she needs therapy? Hopefully she will one day get over it, as well as the barking. Oh well.

The peeps in the red car totally remind me of John & Christy. I laugh every time I see it.

Jake drank green beer, and I drank ice water. We also grilled out on the back porch because it was such a beautiful day. And Jake smoked his new pipe which he got at an antique store last weekend... after spending all week sterilizing it. Fuuuuun. And Happy Anniversary to Mike & Kelly!

Check out my new Petite Vieke post!!

When you read something someone says, or some is telling you about a conversation they had do you ever like imagine those people auctually having the conversation? Or saying the words you are reading? Like lets say i get a text from Jamie and it says soemthing really funny like "Lets go see the Justin Beiber movie!?!?!!!!!!!" i then imagine her saying it with her eyes all chinese like and her voice all high pitched. Or like today at lunch John was telling us about a conversation he had with someone who i know and then i imagined them auctually having the conversation and it made me want to giggle. anyway, idk sometimes it just makes me smile.
Sometimes it is the little things in life.

It really is the little things
That mean the most of all...
