When you scroll down, that is. But I’ll tell you anyway. I’ve been painting window frames! If you click that little link to the "my cottage" category you’ll notice that work on the house has dropped off considerably. Well suddenly I’ve had the urge to tie up all the loose ends. See I really, really, REALLY want to re do the front of the house, big porch, new driveway, walkway, flowerbeds, eco-lawn, plant a tree. The thing is I have not finished all the inside stuff, like doors and windows. So I’m getting shit done in the hopes that Bj will agree we’re ready to move onto bigger projects (I dream about the attic). First on that list was a bedroom door, but the thing is I never stripped the paint off of it, or five others, so I’m looking into a place that will do it for me (so time consuming, and yucky).

So I decided to start with the less messy windows. I remember the exact moment I stopped working on them, the same day as my

But again you won’t care about all of that because of this little guy:


My brother comes over while we’re working outside and says, "I have a surprise for you! I got a puppy." To which I said, "ohcomeherelittleguyyou’resocuteandsosoftohmygoodnes!!!" And snuggled its tiny puppy goodness.


Because he is so tiny.


With Brent’s girlfriend Kat. Brent named him Henry because we had a mini weinner named Edward growing up, and he wanted a kings name (never mind that he got Edward from an auto bodyshop on the way home from the breeder). He gets to come visit auntie Amber when Brent and Kat are busy (and hopefully after he’s all trained up). It was a busy weekend, and I’ve still got one day left!

p.s. Thanks for all the great advice on the plates. I’m going to have Bj get them down for me so I can sort out the best six sets, and the cream and sugar.  Then I’ll see how damaged the rest are, I like the mosaic idea, just need to think of something that needs to be mosaic-ed. Oh and I’m going to bid on a machine soon. I haven’t heard anything bad about them. You guys rock, peace out.
