Airedales love tv.

Last night I had some trouble falling asleep so I put on a DVD Ihad rented. Charlotte’s Web. My husband was working on his blog so I brought all the dogs into bed with me.

Dutchess curls up at my feet and tries to pretend she is tiny. Keep in mind she is 60lbs. Salisbury sprawls out next to me and always puts his head on my stomach and literally purrs. Terrance doesn’t like to be any where near the airedale clan so he usually lays pathetically on the floor and sighs.

So, I started to movie thinking I was just going to fall asleep, but I was fascinated by Dutchess and Sals’ reactions to the talking animals. Everytime Wilbur the pig would jump around Dutch would get very interested and cock her head to the side as if to say, ‘ what the hell? a talking pig.’ Here is the pic to prove it.

She sat like that for literally an hour.

Sals fell asleep and started to snore which lulled me to sleep too.

Oranges at your desk, and a Vacay Recap– LATE

*This post is a lil late- as it was from my vacation on the 8th! I know– I need to keep up. Pics to follow soon.

Someone should really think about making oranges easier to eat at work. I always end up all sticky and dribbly and then the phone rings. Maybe this is a deeper underlying problem- perhaps I shouldn’t eat at my desk. We all do it, YOU do it too, lets be honest with one another.

This post is not all about oranges thank goodness. Just wanted to take a moment and pause and remember my day and a half vacation, to which I came back to literally 922 emails. Mostly SPAM, but still.

Friday I spent the day watching tv.

Saturday I spent the day sleeping an watching tv.

Sunday I went out with my husband to Pickity Place, in Mason, NH. A wonderful place to visit. It is the birthplace of the story of Little Red Riding Hood. Complete with a museum dedicated to the book and count em’ 2 quaint country shoppes full of herbs and spices, we wandered the gardens and wished that we could afford the 16.95$ lunch that was being served right before our eyes.

With hungry bellies we went to my second residence in life, New Ipswich, NH and had a 10$ lunch near the town pool. We drove up to my old digs, which sadly has been torn down. We even visited the church where I was baptized. We then visited with my grandmother in Townsend, MA. For dinner, we had pizza.

Monday- we slept in and watched tv. Jon & Kate + 8 to be exact, and thanked our lucky stars that we only have 3 dogs and not 8 kids.

We then went to the post office and out to lunch at our favorite vegan restaurant, Buddha Hut. For a mere 4.95$ each I feasted on sweet and sour soy based chicken, and Jesse had the soy chicken and garlic with broccoli. For all you vegan/ vegetarian skeptics I encourage you to OPEN your MOUTH to this amazing cuisine. If my husband sir carnivore likes it, you just might too.
