Beautiful weather? Check. Good friends? Yup! A CUTE little girl? Oh, absolutely! Happy Mother’s Day, Amie. I think you’re one of the very best mothers I’ve ever known.

Pals
You can hardly even make out Alicia’s dog Dakota in this photo, but he and Barley just play and play and play and play. It’s really cute, except when Barley’s hair is all matted down with Dakota drool.

Uncensored Cuteness!
Li’l bean-butt is coming along well. We’ve been bringing her out to the coop to play with her chick sisters after work (while keeping her safe from the hens), and they have a good time together. She’s healing well, but I think it’ll be a while before she’s back in the Peep House full-time. Anyway, [...]

A Big Day for the Chicks (5-Week Update)
The chicks are now 5 weeks old. Here’s what a 5-week-old chick looks like: Since today was warm and sunny and calm and pretty dang beautiful, we thought we’d let the chicks enjoy their very first outdoor adventure. We separated them from the adult hens at first — just to be safe — but pretty soon [...]

More Stolen Photography
I have to post these 2 stolen pictures from my time with the dogs at Alicia and Curt’s. We just hung out. Curt suggested that we could go bowling, but then we remembered that we had 4 dogs in the house. So we sat around and watched 48 Hours Mystery and imagined all the ruckus [...]

Don’t Mess with Mama!
Can’t believe I forgot to mention this earlier — was totally hilarious. I stopped at Target a few days ago, and there was the CUTEST little girl walking along with her parents. She was singing, apparently a very familiar song: Hush little baby, don’t say a word, Mama’s gonna buy you a mockingbird. And if [...]

Stolen Photography
I’m sorry to have stolen this photo from Alicia’s blog, but it’s gonna go down as one of my favorite of the Finnster and me. He’s such a good ol’ codger. And, as an added bonus, you can hardly see me at all!

And Now, After a Long Hiatus…
I have pictures to share! Alicia‘s mom made me this awesome quilt, using my dad’s old jeans, shirts, and hankies. There’s also a perfect label on the back. It’s really, truly, amazingly, wonderfully perfect. I couldn’t be any happier. You should check out her work. Here’s my quilt:

It’s Okay: I Deserve This.
Nate and I are just really stinkin’ happy. It’s a little weird, a little surprising, and a whole lot of awesome. Maybe it’s pathetic that, at 34-years-old, I’m enjoying my first healthy, emotionally-mature, genuinely happy relationship. I mean, I’ve been happy with other men — a shout-out here to Mike, who still kicks ass — [...]

Thanks Dave!
My old college buddy Dave sent me this video. Guess which one will be me, starting on Wednesday!

I Know, I Know
Barley is a Tibetan Terrier, bred to withstand (and enjoy!) bitterly cold, snowy, mountainous terrains. But I couldn’t help it–I just had to buy her a cute little pink coat. Turns out, I’ll be returning it. She is SO ashamed of it; won’t even come within 10 feet of me when she’s wearing it. Too [...]

Our House is Cuckoo Bananas!
Lucky and Barley enjoy the hell outta each other. They love to play, and play, and play. This video is pretty representative of their lives. The disgruntled rumbles you hear in the background are coming from Finny — whom I tried desperately to appease with plenty of love and shmoops in the background. Eventually, he [...]

I Love Pips
I love a million things about Nate, but you know what I love the best? He CRACKS me UP. The guy is effing hilarious. So yeah, his buns are amazing. And sure, he’s handsome and sweet and kind and all that BS. But he makes me laugh-laugh-laugh every day. Edit: Upon reading this, Nate says, [...]

Not That I’m Weird…
Not that my friend Leah thinks I’m weird — she doesn’t! — but she found this cute saying and decided that she could actually picture me saying it about myself. And she’s right. I totally agree. P.S. I am called “weird” frequently, Leah, and it’s one of my favorite compliments. I can’t think of a [...]
