Today's "adventure"

Today's "adventure" - updated

Update: Matthew(the boy I sat next to on the bus) told Popster that he thought I was "rather pretty"! Very funny remark coming from a kindergartner!!!!

Today I got up early again & did I get to do my cards - no - instead I was picked up at the end of my driveway by the "big yellow school bus" in the above picture & got to ride to school with all the elementary schools kids - (also see above picture)! I was commissioned to take the photo for Popster's christmas card. It really was kinda cute as all the kids called me "Mrs Dennis"(Popster is Mr Dennis) & sang christmas carols to me all the way to school!
Then I hitched a ride back home & photo-edited the picture & ordered his christmas cards.
Did I finish or even start my cards? NO!
Scott showed up & we went to pick up mortar & tile grout for my new floor & I helped him lay out the tile until around 2:30pm. No I did not start my cards & my house is wrecked even worse than before!
Then my neighbor Ellen called to see if she could come over for help with a knitting problem so I put another pot of coffee & there went the rest of my day.
Am I doing my cards now? NO! Tomorrow's another day. Goodnight.

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot. When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow. Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out. I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly. Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes. It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet. Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners. We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Liza's treat ball

This is one of the most important things in our house - it is Liza's treat ball! I bought this about 9 or 10 years ago & it had a "trap door" where the gaping hole is & when you put treats in it you could control how easily they would fall out as the ball rolled around. Liza learned that if she rolled it down the stairs the treats would usually fall out which is why it looks this way. I have tried super glue etc. but it never stays together! It is sadly beaten & broken but try as I may I have never been able to find another one like it. I have spent hours looking & have bought many similar but nothing will ever take it's place. She knows where it is almost all the time - usually keeps it in her bed - but when it's missing she just paces the house until someone helps her find it. She used to be able to hold it in her mouth like this by just hooking it onto her eye tooth Now she just puts her bottom jaw into the opening like this There is a rit...
