Finally - A Post From Dawn!

So many things to say. . .

My big news today. Bernardo had a bath. He hates me, especially because I tried to be "nice" and blow dry him so he would not be cold. He was NOT amused. He is however enjoying being cooked for. Our friend Robin has me convinced the dog food will kill him, so now he's on a people food diet. Today's menu, rice, mixed veggies and ground turkey. Smells awful, he loves it. I guess if your basis of comparison is Iams lamb and rice -- it is nirvanna.

Billy may be the nicest husband in the entire world. He braved the 46 degree temperatures (Ok, laugh if you want, but I cannot be that cold, I'll die, it's true) to walk our puppy for me. AND he just refilled my wine glass just to be nice. Seriously, I married well.

My last random thought tonight -- perhaps I should buy a 4 quart duch oven. Why? Well, here's my problem, when I start to make "soupy" items that go in the duch oven (Chicken & Dumplings, soup, chili verde, stew etc) The recipe magically swells to consume all 8 quarts of capacity my two current duch ovens offer. When you are a couple living alone, this is a bit absurd -- imagine if you will, 8 quarts of alphabet soup. For the record, we ate it all in two days -- I especially enjoyed mine with goldfish in the bowl. What could be sillier than an grown-up eating alphabet soup with goldfish in it? I don't know, but I was pretty happy.

Oh wait, one more rant, if you read this soon, send Bill and email and tell him that we'll have a GREAT time on a float at Orlando's Mardi Gras and he should take me! I'll be your best friend!

Bill, you know riding the float would be fun. You should take her. It will continue your reign as supreme husband.
