07/25/2005 Archived Entry: "things that go bump in the night"

First and foremost.....

I finished the bumper!!!! Humor me and click the link to see the fruits of my labor (literally since Daisy is also featured). I am so pleased with how it turned out. It is just like I pictured it and I could not be happier :) Excuse me whilst I do the Dance of Joy.

Now then, a nice little recap of our day as is per my norm.

Actually, I'll start with last night. The dog went into alarm mode so I was looking into the backyard and through the door seemed to catch a whiff of skunk. So Chris immediately went out and got the dog to put her in the garage. He thought his hands might have a slight odor but wasn't sure. When we let Gwen out of the garage this morning we noticed she had apparently been sick in the night. I'm guessing she did get sprayed a tiny bit and it caused the reaction. I've kept an eye on her all day though and she's fine, thankfully.

I took a morning walk when I awoke today since I haven't been able to do any walking lately due to Chris's play rehearsals. It was a nice way to start the day and look forward to more of the same the rest of the week while Chris is on vacation.

After I was out of my shower, Chris and Tabitha went out to breakfast. Once they returned we all went to Henry's for produce. The plan was to put away groceries and then work on rearranging our room, but when Chris called his brother to wish him a happy birthday, we found out he took today off of work so we decided to take him out to lunch to celebrate. He chose Friday's so we met there for a nice lunch.

We then made a quick stop at a furniture store that proclaimed they had lost thier lease and everything had to go. It's the place that has the dresser we want for our room so I was seeing what kind of sale price we could get on it. The answer is none. They kind of lost their lease, but all they are doing is moving down the street to a new location. So while they say there is a big sale, everything seemed to be the same price as always. So no hurry on the dresser, which is good, because it will not fit in our room until a certain little miss moves out.

The rest of the afternoon was spent at home. That's when I finished up the bumper. I lost track of time though and realized how late I was starting dinner. Due to our large lunch, which even included dessert which we never order, I just went with rice, broccoli and pineapple. My family has been living on a lot of rice but I just don't care to cook in the summer. Especially since I usually serve dinner much later in the summer than the winter, but with all of Tabitha's classes and Chris's rehearsals, I have to serve at the same earlier time and I'm just not in the mood. So boring meals of rice and stir-fry abound these days. My family doesn't seem to mind though so it's all good.

Tabitha and I played a game of Trouble before she went to bed. When she landed on my pawn and sent it back to start she sang "wah, wah, wah, waaaaah" which I thought was pretty darn funny. The other day she was asking me about when Chris and I were dating so I told her a bit and when I got to the part of him buying me a ring to ask me to marry him, she piped up that the man usually buys a ring to impress the woman so she'll want to marry him. Makes me wonder where she gets these ideas. At least she keeps us entertained.
