Cleaning

Does anyone else enjoy cleaning?
I kinda do.
Wierd?
Yes!
I love a clean house.
I love cleaning products.
I love the smell of clean bathrooms.
I love the look of vacuum lines.
I love sparkling counter tops.
I love freshly mopped floors.
I love polished appliances.
I love dust free furniture.
I love empty laundry baskets.
I love the peace that it brings.
I love it all.

BUT...
the one job I hate; scrubbing the showers.
It's my least favorite job!
However I found thee
BEST CLEANING PRODUCT:

And now....
not so bad.
try it.
I spray the shower and tub first,
let it set while I clean the toilet, sinks, and mirrors
come back, wipe it down, and BAM
sparkling clean!
No muscles needed.
It's awesome.

What is your least favorite job?

the New leash.....

It's February and the weather is PERFECTO!
We left for the canyon to go on a little hike and test out the new leash...

This is my typical view when Magmoo is in the car.

He was so happy to be out....Magnus was pretty excited too

It took a little bit to realize he had 16 feet of freedom BUT he was loving it!

He ran and ran and ran...

And stopped to watch birds fly away

We all enjoyed the hike and relaxed the minute we got back to the truck.

WOOOHOOOO

As of tonight
our car is
OFFICIALLY
PAID
OFF
!!!!

can I get what what?

A not so Christmas Morning....

So there I was...alone on Christmas...

This year was a funny one.
My parents went out of town to hold a new grand baby.
Romney had to work Christmas day.
My brother and his wife were spending the day with her side.
At least Magmoo was here to keep me company.

Romney and I planned to celebrate on Christmas Eve this year due to his work schedule.
But....he was called to work Christmas Eve too.
So there I was alone...on Christmas Eve unexpectedly...
Luckily, we have some very nice friends that had me and Magnus over.

SOOO....we finally were able to celebrate Christmas a few days after.
We had a nice morning munching on pistachios and peanuts,
while opening our presents!

Merry Christmas!!!!

finding the light

Its a Christmas Miracle....
(click here for my weird "miracle"...)

Magnus got his cone of shame off and his stitches are out.
I think this whole near death experience really opened his eyes.
He has found the light!

As the sunlight moves across the floor....

So does Magnus...
He literally follows the light all throughout the day.

He's so spiritual like that,
What a good boy.

1000.00 dollars later....

Just like the ziplock bag says...
This is Magnus' rock.

Because of that rock my dog looks like Little Bo Peep.

Oh Magnus.
Where to begin....
I will first start off by saying that I officially LOVE our dog.
It took me 2 months to say it out loud but its true
I LOVE him.
Now with that being said
DANG IT DOG!
The other day we were playing in the back yard having a fun ol' time.
Within 20 minutes he was extra cuddly and tired.
Within an hour of that the throwing up began.
ALL DAY!!!!
He wasn't eating or drinking.
Just puking.
So sad...So smelly.
He was miserable.
Just before closing I decided I better go see the vet.
They checked him for all sorts of things and did some Xrays.
With the Xray we found the problem...
THE ROCK!
The freakin dog ate a rock.
The vet sent us home with an anti vomiting shot
and in hopes he would pass the rock by morning.
No, not even close!
They did a follow up Xray to see if the rock had even moved over night.
again, not even close.
So surgery it was.
He came home hours after and cried all night...not fun.
He's back at the vet today for follow up evaluations and fluids and pain killers.
He will come home again tonight!
We have laughed at people who spend money for surgeries on animals...
We are eating our words.
1000.00 dollars later.
Gulp.
I hugged Romney and said
"Thanks for paying to save our dog"
"you're welcome"
Like he did me the favor....
Yeah right, Romney is in love too.

Travel bug....

It is that time of year again......you know, travel bug time.
We booked our next trip a few months ago as a "heart healing" method.
It's a good method I tell ya.
When our IVF cycle failed we said...
"okay where are we off to next"
and so....
DRUM ROLL PLEASE...........

I R E L A N D ! !

Top of the mornin to ya!
Spring can not come fast enough!!!
