Eh, my timing was off

I guess the week kind of got away from me. I really did intend on posting earlier this week about the big, new development in the house but I got asked to work some extra hours and both Duane and I have been pretty run down and to bed early. Today is good though. The house is clean, the lawn is mowed, the dog is pooped out and mellow, there are groceries in the house and the weather is beautiful. So...the big news.

1. Duane got his actual motorcycle license (not just the permit) so I was finally able to go for a ride with him. Go Carts scare me...so I was terrified of motorcycles...but it was AWESOME!!! I look forward to riding with him more often on warm summer days. It left my hair an absolute rats nest even though I had it tied back but whatever, it was worth it...and...

2. When we got home, I got to use our new shower!!!! This has been our life the last couple of months.



I think I did a pretty good job not nagging Duane about getting the new tub and surround in (old broken tiles and such...) but man oh man I am SO thrilled that we are now longer showering in the basement. We still have finishing work to do, but whatever, the shower is functional!





Since then, I've worked a few more hours, spent a few more under the weather, and really spent time enjoying the weather with Brandi. We went walking again. We even found a spot where she could get her paws wet in the river. Unfortunately that wasn't enough for her and when I wouldn't let her swim....she flopped down in the mud on river's edge. Lovely. She's lucky she's cute. She's also lucky she likes to play with the hose, it was the only way to clean her off when we got home...of course, she got me just as wet!







I guess that's about it for now. I'm sure I could come up with more trivial blabber, but really, I'd rather fold the laundry and curl up with Duane for a movie (or an episode or two of House!)
