an unruly dog, a wonky toe and real men wear PINK.

How'd you like that blog title?

Some random tidbits, in no particular order.....

1.)  Am I the only person who has no desire to learn how to fold a fitted sheet [or know how to fully work all of the remotes in our house, for that matter]?  People keep pinning "FINALLY! - how to fold a fitted sheet" tutorials on Pinterest and I just have no interest whatesoever in knowing how to do that?  Don't we all have "those" things - that are probably pretty simple, but you just don't really care to know how to do?  Or am I just lazy?

2.)  It's strange how often complete strangers want to touch your baby.  I'm trying to not be a freak about this, because I'm a baby addict too and remember wanting to just squeeze on little cute babes I'd see out and about.........but now, as a mom, I cringe inside every time someone I don't know tries to touch him [maybe I should just keep my ass out of Target... that would help tremendously].  I've actually thought about saying he has chicken pox, so they'd keep their hands off.  Kidding.   Mostly.

3.)   My brother treated me to a pedicure yesterday for my b-day [and he joined me - such a trooper].  He told the sweet Vietnamese woman who was doing his pedicure [who spoke little to no English] to "just go ahead and avoid that one wonky toe".  She repeatedly messed with said wonky toe.  She finally got what he was saying when he cringed when she touched it for the 3rd time.  I was dying laughing.  Out loud.

4.)  I turned 29 yesterday and had a perfect day.  My hubby had a donut cake and chocolate milk (and a very sweet letter from him and Jackson) waiting for me when I woke up!!!  Strawberry donuts + chocolate milk + anything with the word "cake" in it + my two sweet boys = perfection!

5.)  Then Cason brought Chinese takeout home for lunch.....and then pedicures with my brother and drinks and dinner at a restaurant w/ a fun patio.  Good times. :)  I'm so thankful for all of the sweet birthday wishes..... texts, phone calls, emails, comments here on the blog, Facebook wishes, etc!!!  SO SWEET --- it made my day!

6.)  You know how I mentioned the donut cake my hubs made?  Well, we ate about 4 of the 12 donuts....meaning there were 8 left.  Hanna, our freakishly long-legged lab, ate 7 of the remaining 8 this morning while I was in another room.  Awesome.  I walked in to find her with both front paws up on the counter and a donut halfway down her mouth.  So yep, she's had 7 donuts today ......  chances are good I'll have a sick pup on my hands shortly. :(  No birthday donut for her this year (her and Miss Rose get a donut every year on their bday).  Hanna's set for the next 7 years.

7.)  Sending some birthday love this morning to our peeps in Friona, TX!!!  Cason's sister, Britny & her son, Brayden, share the same birthday....how neat is that?!   [I should have used my camera to take these instead of my trusty iPhone!]

Pup was counter surfing?? Naughtyyyyy! but that stuff is so cute at the same time. Hoping the donuts agreed with her :)

Glad you had such a wonderful birthday lady!

i missed the bday, but happy birthday sweet darling!!! sounds like it was a fabulous one...and the doughnut cake--my mouth is watering over here.

p.s. i am in TOTAL agreement with you on the fitted sheet..who cares!

Susan said...

I don't fold them either. I hand them to hubby and say "here, if it bothers you do much, you do it!"

I know all too well of the unruly lab jumping up on the counter for food. :-) One of our labs like to do that as well. LOL. Jackson is such a cutie and getting so big!

Such a sweet post but I think my favorite part is about Hanna swiping the donuts. Poor poor Rose is too short to join in the action. Hanna needs to learn to share with Rose!

Aside from the turning 29 thing - happy birthday, by the way! - we may be the same person:

1) I have tried & failed at the Folded Fitted Sheet enough to know it just isn't for me. Funny enough, I'm able to sleep soundly at night despite this.

2) I still freak out when strangers want to touch my toddler. I know he's cute, but please dip yourself in one of the 1,572 hand sanitizers I have on me at all times before touching, please.

3) I just noted that real men wear pink today - mine do, at least!

Happy belated birthday! Your donut breakfast looks like an ideal way to kick off a birthday to me. :) Too funny about your pup and the donuts - that is so something our lab would do!

And you are not alone on the fitted sheet - I think that every time I see it pinned!

Donuts and pedicures? Sounds like a happy birthday to me!!

Angela said...

cute title! Happy Birthday!!

You know, in dog years she really only ate one year's worth of donuts. You probably actually owe her 6 more donuts for each year you only gave her one ;)

OMG! I read your blog all the time and laugh at most if not all of the posts. This one really had me laughing! You are hilarious! And that little Jackson is just so cute with his little rolls! Oh and happy birthday!

I'm a friend of Lisa Gotte's and I found your blog from her's.
