Waking up to this:

Leaves someone feeling “blue” all day. I kept on waiting for an email that work was closed, but nope. So I went in and still had a normal day.

Pooch had a blast playing at daycare in the warmth. He’s so tired…

I did get about 3 phone calls from my sister tonight. She called a lot last night too. But really, it was Max (2yo) calling me. I’m sure he was asking what he’s getting for his birthday.

5.365.2014 Dinner Party

Let me tell you… I was productive today! I woke up, took down the second tree, cleaned up the rest of the Christmas stuff, put it all away, cleaned the house and then headed for the dog park… All by 11!

Yes, it was -5 out and -23 windchill. It wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t great. The dog loved it!

This afternoon I cleaned up a bit more and got ready to have friends over for dinner. One old friend and he introduced us to someone new. We had a blast!

Now off to bed to try and stay warm before the -60 windchill weather tomorrow.

4.365.2014 Cleaning

After a nice long morning of sleeping in, the pup and I got ready and headed to the dog park. He played with his girl Lucy and then we all left. It was pretty busy because the impending cold wave.

Then we drove to get gas and a car wash. The guy in front of me clearly can’t read directions and had to back all the way out a couple of times. When we finally went in, Diohgé was not happy. He came to the front seat with me…

Tonight Dave and I had dinner and went to see The Secret Life of Walter Mitty to celebrate Jen’s birthday. It was a good movie!

Afterwards, we came home and I took down one Christmas tree. One more to go!

3.365.2014 Housewarming and Beer

Tonight we visited the King’s for some pizza and beer. The Hagen’s joined us as well. We tried some Bourbon beers from Widmer that were amazing. The 2011 was the best.

The King’s were great hosts with fun food, good drinks and games of skill.
We had a lot of fun. Thanks Rose and Patrick!

2.365.2014 It’s Just That Age

Well, Diohgé’s at that age… You know, he’s past the “what is a present” stage and has moved into “this paper is fascinating” stage.

After he got the toy out, he promptly took it over to his toy treasure trove and dropped it. Then he came back to play with the paper.
