Happy Birthday:

Today is New Year's Day but more importantly, it's Tillie's birthday! She is 4 years old! We're celebrating with a peanut butter carrot cake, birthday cuddles, and lots of hugs and kisses:

Tillie's Bed Adventures:

This weekend we (read: I) played the homemaker in a major way: I baked scones and granola, did laundry, and sewed on A's quilt (almost done!). I've got some details to share with you but until then, check out this video of what we have to deal with when Tillie gets crazy:

Bark in the Park

We went to the NLR Bark in the Park this afternoon. And Tilllie got microchipped for free. Check it out here.
And then we went to PetSmart where Tillie got some awesome new dog food and tons of treats.
She had a pretty huge day.

In other news, the Harry Potter marathon continued with Lego Harry Potter Year 2 followed by Apples to Apples with the family and chi tea lattes.

Welcome Home Tillie

Today I went and picked Tillie up and took her home. She had to smell everything in our house to make sure nothing had changed. And then she ate and layed down and went to sleep. She slept all evening. Even now, she is laying down on the couch.

When Andrew came home, he brought me these beautiful flowers. He missed me. Isn't that sweet.

Now we are enjoying a late night Taco Bell picnic.

Andrew is still working at Chili's but tonight he started trying to give away all of his remaining shifts so we can spend more time together.

a saturday of nothings.

Andrew spent the day working (just like every weekend of my life) so I spent the day getting better acquainted with our new laptop. And sitting here at the dining room table, this is the view I had every time I looked down. This little face was there (and still is at this very moment) just waiting for me to do something fun or drop something that she could gobble up. She's been very patiently waiting for me to play with her.

I also went with my mom to get some groceries. It's nice to have food in the house again.

I am in a cleaning mood. I started earlier this afternoon but I think I'll finish up now. I always get in the mood to clean late at night.

And I finally got to talk to Krit and catch up, so that was nice.

Bed rest

I woke up this morning with a migraine that kept me in bed literally all day. I am just now starting to feel better. Andrew went to work this evening and left me by myself but my mom came and spent some time with me and made me soup and took care of me. And this is the face that stayed by my side all day and kept me company. She's a sweetheart, isn't she?

My mom is making me go back to the doctor about my headaches and she wants me to go see a neurologist as well. It's kind of scary but I'll do anything to make these headaches stop. I feel like I just wasted an entire day of my life, not to mention my weekend. And I'd like the whole throwing up thing to go away as well.

Fun with Tillie

Today Andrew and Tillie met me for lunch. I guess she wasn't feeling too well because she threw up twice in the car. And then after work, I came home and played with Tillie while Andrew was at work. On his way home, he stopped by Taco Bell and we had a little picnic dinner. It was fun.

We are in the process of cleaning our apartment and getting it ready for Andrew's friends this weekend.

Super Bowl Sunday

Today we:
had breakfast with my parents at IHOP
played video games with Tyler
watched the Super Bowl
ate incredible Super Bowl snacks
gave Tillie a bath
hung out with Schuck

We made a bet about who would win the Super Bowl. Andrew has to buy me a present because I called it.

We recorded the Puppy Bowl for Tillie. She hasn't moved from in front of the TV since we turned it on. Riveting television.

I am also excited about this game coming out this month.

Happy February.

Tilliecanoe and Tyler too

I got to pick up Tyler from school today. It was nice being able to spend some time alone with him. We had fun playing xbox and messing around with Tillie. He wants to spend the night tomorrow night so that he can sleep with Tillie. He says she loves him. How cute is that?

I'm glad Thursdays are back in full swing -- Kath & Kim, The Office, & 30 Rock -- what a fabulous way to celebrate what is usually a slow, uneventful day.
