+1 Stamina

Ben took Jem for two hikes on Saturday. Previously one hike pooped out the puppy. Ben declared that Jem must have leveled up. Great.
This is what 2 out of 3 floors' worth of vacuuming looks like when you have two pets. Yikes.

We took Jem to the Lakeside dog park Sunday morning. The lake was shimmering blue, begging us to teach her how to swim.

She refused a second go at it.
LoveSac battle!!! Whose scent can linger longest?

I'm going to have to call Molly the winner for her unworldly laser eyes. They put Jem's to little green twinkle to shame.

Hot Fuzz

Hot Fuzz is Freaking Awesome. Better than Shaun of the Dead, I swear, I laughed my head off. Go see it.

Some days . . .

Some days I feel like this. Today is one of them.

Men take note

This is how you put a grumpy wife in a smiley mood.
I love you, Ben.
