it's warm outside

Warm is probably an understatement.  When I got home it was 98.7 degrees outside.  After our walk (6:30), it was still 98.6 degrees.  I found that funny.  The outside temp is the same as my internal body temp.  For this brief moment in time I could be cold blooded.  :)

But I digress...

So Bentley as always loves to be outside.  The heat doesn't seem to bother him much.  One of the trees out in the yard sheds these little sticky things, which cling to his skirt something fierce.  Every time he comes in I have to de-sticker him.  Even then, I keep finding them everywhere.  Or stepping on them, which is worse because I always think it is a bug or something. Ah well, the joys of Texas spring.

Do you want to improve your photos?

I am so excited about this FREE class taught by Jessica Sprague!

Head on over and check it out. Registration begins June 22!

catching up

We've been busy with getting things back in order after the break-in.  Here are my photos of the day for the past few days.  I've been taking photos around our neighborhood while taking the dogs for their walk.

Yesterday, I went to PF Changs for a business dinner.  Yum!  My new favorite things are their mini-desserts.  The perfect size dessert after a big dinner (the are brought to you in a shot glass size dish).  I had s'mores and red velvet cake. Delish!

 

Here is Bella on our walk tonight.  She is always so excited to go for a walk, and then she finds out how hot it is and doesn't want to walk anymore. :)

My Wild Weekend...started Friday

Well, our boring lives took a turn for the more-interesting on Friday when we got a call from the Houston Police Department.  Our house had been broken into!  I hurried home to find 3 police cars in front of the house.  Lucky for us, our neighbor saw them running down the driveway and called the police.  Within 5 minutes, the police showed up and chased down the robbers.  They were able to recover almost all of our property.  Still, it's a little unnerving.  I was glad that Dan would be home that night!

They came in the back door thru the sun porch (by removing a window!), and then kicking in the back door.  The frame and lock had to be replaced.

I was very impressed at how quickly the police department showed up and the great work they did to capture them!  Thanks, HPD!

On Saturday, we took a short day-trip to Galveston.  I had read that they were having the annual sand castle competition.   One thing we didn't count on:  traffic.  Wowza.  There were so many people!!  But we had a good time and saw some pretty neat sand castles.  Here is one of my favorites.  

Get it?  Pres-dispenser??  I thought it was clever.

And here is my first dip in the Gulf of Mexico.

Weeknights

I have been super tired all day today.  I really didn't even want to post my photo of the day, but I know Dan likes it. :)  Hi Honey!

So during the week I don't do very much after work.  This is generally my tool of choice:

I watch a lot of stupid TV.  For instance, right now I am watching "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here."  I  highly discourage you from watching it.  Really, the bottom of the barrel.

Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday and Dan will be home to rescue me from the mundane!

Wednesday

This has been a strange week.  I'm not sure why.

Anyway, this afternoon started with these:

Which turned into these:

And finally, this:

Allergy testing.

and the worst part?

after all that...

I'm not allergic to anything.

Go figure.

Back to Work... a day late

Why is it that a standard trip to the doctor's office usually takes three times as long as originally planned?

After what turned into a marathon doctor's appointment yesterday, I decided not to go into the office after all, and spend the day with my husband.  Always a better option, in my opinion!

We really didn't do anything interesting, but it was fun to be home together impromptu!

Monday is also my shopping day, and boy did I get some great deals.  My favorite was at Walgreens, where I got all this stuff....

...for the low price of 57 cents.  That's right.  57 cents.  And $8 worth of Rapid Rewards to use on my next visit.  So technically, they paid me to shop.  Can't beat that!

Right now I am munching on these beauties.

Raspberries just might be my very favorite food.  

Happy June!
