Not Seven Quick Takes

.

I have quick takes, barely complete thoughts, and I should probably have an unpublished thought. But I'm bored, so I'll punish you with them today. That's what friends are for. ;-)



Peach is still sick. She's bored, too. She's tired of being in bed, and I am weakening to the thought of letting her come downstairs, but we've come this far, I hate to expose everyone now that we've made it four days. I think we'll have another movie in mama's bed and maybe some popcorn this afternoon. Did you know salty snacks are good for a sore throat?

The dog/puppy (when do they officially become dogs?) has reached the "sowing her oats" stage. She's jumps on everyone, steals food off the counter (she is now tall enough to get her nose over the edge and reach anything within 10 inches of the edge), and eats everything she can find on every surface she can get to. This morning she ate a picture of Joshua on his first day of first grade. He was pulling pictures out of albums last night for a school project (puhleease -- he's in high school, can we lose the projects?) and left one on the end table. I almost killed her.

I bet I can say "bad dog" meaner than you can.

I told Doug he needs to take her to obedience school because he lets her behave badly. He says he's not. He will not win this one. Monday she goes to be spayed. Doug told me he thought it would be really "cute" for her to have puppies. The man is truly insane and I called the vet to get the first available appointment.

I have had a twitch in my eye for 24 hours. I'm about to lose my mind.

We have no plans, not a one, for the weekend, and I am so happy. The boys will watch the Buckeyes get beat tomorrow at Happy Valley (did I say that?) and I will make BBQ Chicken Pizza for dinner. Laundry and ironing will keep me busy all day, and hopefully Peach's fever will take a turn and she'll be able to join the family.

I have several projects I'm working on and it's all I can do to not park my rump on the sofa for the next two days. I am knitting a shawl (I have officially become an old lady), embroidering a pillowcase for a special little girl's St. Nick day, and starting on a sweet little purple and yellow quilt. I have so many things to do I don't know what to do with myself. I'll post pictures next week.


I hope you have a glorious weekend, filled with life's many blessings. Join me in looking at the glass half full. Everything is a blessing from God. He is good.

With your counsel you guide me, and at the end receive me with honor. Whom else have I in the heavens? None beside you delights me on earth. Though my flesh and my heart fail, God is the rock of my heart, my portion forever. But those who are far from you perish; you destroy those unfaithful to you. As for me, to be near God is my good, to make the Lord GOD my refuge. Psalms 73: 24-28
