Date Night

by //

Bob and I went on a date night! I love date nights. It’s a good time to reconnect and talk about things that have gotten us excited or frustrated or other random things we’ve been thinking about. This date night we talked about Bella. She is so cute and fun, but we want to make sure she turns into the best dog ever. We’ve been watching the Dog Whisperer like crazy people and are trying to enforce some of his technique. But it seems like she’s getting worse! Is that possible!? So weird.

Oh well. We are the humans and we will overcome! Let me know if you’ve got any tips on creating the best dog ever. Obedience class, here we come!

You know all those people who say they found cool stuff while they were “thrifting?” You know those people? I do too. I am not one of them. I may have found 5 cool things. And do you know how much I’ve looked? A lot! Normally I find old grody t-shirts that are short and wide. Sick! Plus, I always feel like taking a shower after I leave. Double sick!

Maybe my problem is that I can’t figure out how to see the potential and make those weird pieces actually look cool. Like Paige. She’s a freakin’ genius. But one day I went in and found some shoes for Bob and then at the register I found this unpriced Michael Kors necklace. So, I asked how much it was and since it was unmarked, she gave it to me for $1!

I walked a little taller that day—after I disinfected the necklace and myself that is. Ha ha. Maybe I need a psychologist to get over my phobia of dirty things. That’s why I got a dog.
