bumblepug

big dog; little dog

i'm two timing ralph but keep that on the down low! i'm currently in love with a little fuzzy guy named milo. that's right...i bought a pug pup on saturday. he's the cutest-sweetest thing in the world and i want to stay home forever so i can hang out with the big dog and the little dog!

we drove 4 hours each way to look at the pups and we originally wanted a black pug boy but we left with a fawn pug boy. after 2 hours of hanging out at the breeders house, we made a decision we could've made in the first five minutes since he was such a character at trying to win us over from the start.

dog is bummed, as expected. i think it will take a while for her to like him but i have faith that she'll come around. milo adores her and makes every attempt to play and be friendly. he's a libra and she's an aries. does that work?!

he's already learning his "pee" spot and he loves food more than dog. this is a scary thought considering dog didn't know the goodness of food until she was 1 y.o. hmmm...must save money for piles of dog food, upon piles, upon piles...

pics to be posted soon!

call me auntie

so here goes the big news...i'm going to be an aunt! my sister is 2 months pregnant and i couldn't be more excited. i can't wait to see the baby which is due around my bday. the little one better know better than to make his wat into the world on my bday! ;)

i'm going to be in the delivery room with her and i get to "cut the cord." what an honor! i'm really impatient and i want the baby to be delivered by a stork tomorrow (to save her the pain and to fulfill my impatience). i can't imagine having to wait 9 months! what am i going to do when i'm pregnant?!

she's not showing too yet but she's had quite an appetite. i think i'm sympathy eating with her so i need to hit the treadmill or start eating like a person who isn't pregnant. she wants a boy but i will secretly pray for a girl!

xmas in the woods

we cut down our tree in the mountains today and i don't think it could have been any colder, and i have a tree farm confession to make...we accidentally cut our first tree too short so we left it there and hid and chopped down another one to make it taller.  we're going straight to hell and definitely getting coal in our stockings.

anyways, tree #2 is just as beautious as tree #1 though at least 2' taller!  since we got it from the woods, we used the dentist office's hose near our place to give it a good rinse.  good thing we live in the same complex as a dentist that has an outdoor hose.  and good thing roo noticed women filling jugs of water from that hose in the middle of the night or else we may have never known about it.  ah, where do we live?

our tree smells nice and my belly is full of burgers and fries.  the best tradition ever is to freeze your ass off outside by cutting down your own xmas tree and then ingesting a 1600 calories meal at happy hound.  nothing comes close to such a merry evening!

and new and exciting desperate housewives and gray's anatomy await!

warm winter bash 2005

our xmas party was quite interesting.  it seemed more crowded than last year but interestingly enough, i only knew 6 of 50 people.  that's the best, huh?!  who are these people and why are they at our party?!  needless to say, since i was in the midst of recovering from a cold, i left kinda early.  ralph had a tad too many brewskies but he was really cute since he's a happy drinker.  good thing i know how to drive a tractor!

pics will be posted soon.
