Shame on me! I promised that I would write a new blog last night and I didn't. I have a valid excuse though...kind of...had I written it last night you might have gotten something to the effect of
"Hey! I'm finally back and I am so s l e e p"
That would have been the end of it because I was very tired last night. We had a very busy weekend full of tennis matches, going to a wedding, selling my car, getting my mother-in-law's dog to dog sit for the week and celebrating Father's Day!! Yesterday was pretty interesting too. I had a "normal" work day but I was constantly watching Lily (the dog). She's super sweet but is lacking discipline. She tried to eat several things in the house (remote, telephone, washcloth, etc.) She also proceeded to roll in soil outside and eat some of my plants in my back yard. You can certainly imagine why our patience is wearing thin. This morning I gave her too much credit because she seemed to be behaving perfectly. Wow, she had me deceived. She has walked around in the pond in our back yard, eaten some Starbursts candies and got into my dried wedding flowers...what else will this day bring?! I'm sure I'll have more fiascos with her this week and I will be sure to share along with pictures!!
On a different note I threw a baby shower two weekends ago for my best friend Alli. She is due on July 4th with a little girl named Madeline Grace. I cannot wait to meet her so that Auntie Angela can spoil her rotten....I think that I have already successfully started! :) Here are a few pictures from the shower. They ended up out of order but you can still enjoy!
