So what takes four people, a bottle wine, and a bag of Hershey’s kisses to put together? Anything by Mega Bloks. We bought this consarned spider-man 3 set the other day and I almost had myself committed before we got it finished. They’re just not made quite as well as Legos. Sorry Mega Bloks! In the end, Ryan played with this for about 20 minutes. Great, $29.99 and we can’t even get 30 mins of play out of it. Not to mention that it took us three hours to get the thing put together. Oh well! That’s my bitch session for today. BY the way, see my Capt. Underpants in the picture? The minute we walk in the door from somewhere, he peels down to his underwear. He says he just enjoys the breeze. What can I say? His dad was known by his friends as “No Pants Man” until we got married so I guess this is hereditary.

We just got home from the grocery store where I spent almost $90 and got hardly anything. Prices are starting to get scary! The boys wanted me to buy them plungers because Mario and Luigi are plumbers and they have plungers. So for a $1.99 each I figured, why not? I spent $29.99 on the dag-gone spider-man 3 set so $1.99 is a bargain. Well, they love these plungers. I swear, kids get more fun out of real-life stuff than any toy you can buy at the store. I’m officially staying away from toys ‘r’ us.

On a lighter note, I absolutely must share my dream from last night with you. God, it was a good one. I dreamt that David Beckham and his lovely wife Posh were at some party I was attending, because I attend fancy parties all the time, don’t ya know….anyhoo…I walk up to David Beckham and introduce myself because I’m so like that…not really…well he looks at me and says,”I can’t talk to you. I can tell by looking at you that you’re trouble.” Well, I must have had a shocked expression on my face because my dream Beckham says, “Oh yes, you’re trouble. You’re the kind of woman with whom I would have a maddeningly passionate affair that would culminate in the birth of a child and we just can’t have that now, can we?” Please, you must imagine a sexy British accent saying all these things to me. It was amazing. I don’t even remember the rest of the dream but, if you’ve seen my pic on the right-hand side of this blog, you know Posh has nothing to worry about from me. LOL Seriously though, that dream was so good I slept until 9:30 this morning because I just wanted it to keep going. Ever had that experience?

Later on today the boys and I are going to drive to a park that’s in one neighborhood over from ours because they “have better play stuff” there. Whatever, I can play with my camera while they play on the equipment.

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

This cute little cup came in a pack from @christma This cute little cup came in a pack from @christmastreeshops and it’s bringing all the fall vibes today! Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
