It's been so long...

For the past 8 days I've been housesitting in the country and well, their internet is spotty. I'm actually pirating from another house (down the street I presume) so shhh... don't tell.



I've been wanting to blog about it. Tell the world how fun it was for the first two or three days. On the third day, I had to go to the doctor because of my crazy sinus/upper respiratory infection. Go antibiotics! That reminds me, gotta take the latest dose...

Okay - back to the bloggin' - Then I started to get a little stir crazy which ended after I realized they have a ton of movies I haven't seen. Yes!



And, on about day 5 when I had a bit of a panic attack thinking....what if I have a freak accident and die? {hey it could happen.} I better make sure I check in with someone every day.



Today is day 8. I've gotten into quite a routine. The dogs stay in the kennel until I'm ready to play with/feed/swim with them. I've learned you have to keep the doggies separate until they've finished eating or else the older one doesn't have a chance. Aren't they cute?




That brings us to the pool. I'm not a big swimmer and I don't like to swim alone (again - freak accident??). Call me crazy if you want. I don't care. Yesterday I got my feet wet, literally, and today I went all in with my friend Cay.



So tomorrow the landscaping crew is here pretty much all day so I'll take care of changing out the guinea pigs' bedding (oh yeah - there's guinea pigs), refilling the hummingbird feeder, water all the house plants, get some laundry done and generally watch for the exact moment I can let the dogs out so that they can play before I have to leave at 6:30 pm for a meeting.

Miss Sarah

I have a lot of free time on my hands right now aside from applying here and interviewing there, so I thought I'd show everyone how cute Miss Sarah is. My sister and I took her in when my friend Allie couldn't keep her due to an cute, yet allergic, new baby.

We call her Sarah, Sarahbug, Boo, Bug; you get the idea. I got some pretty cute pics today.

Here, she's sitting on my lap hoping that I pet her again soon.

Yes, of course I did.

Then, we moved to the floor...

She loves the puffy, shiny blue ball.

Then, she had to pause to clean herself.

She gives Gene Simmons a run for his money let me tell ya.

This is my favorite pic. It's this look that forgives all of the play scratches, the mews in the middle of the night for no apparent reason and knocking over the things on top of the tv stand.
