Speaking of being grouchy in the morning, the weenies, particularly Eleanor, have not helped the situation. She wakes up so many times during the night, barking at a noise in the hallway or outside, like a MARTA bus. We are also paranoid because we have new sheets and a new duvet cover set, and we would like to keep them free of holes. Anytime we feel her move we jump up and look under the covers to see what she is doing. Cleo also sleeps on top of my pillows and I end up with one small corner of my pillow. Sometimes I move her, but she just comes back. I can't wait until we have a house and we can leave them in their crates at night to sleep. I think we will sleep much better then!
On another note about the weenies, today we were supposed to go to the Splish Splash Doggie Bash in Piedmont Park. I was super excited about taking the weenies to the park to go swimming. The park renovated the pool this summer and they are in the process of renovating the dog areas as well. As a fundraiser for the dog park, the doggie bash allowed dogs to swim in the pool before they closed it for the year. Anyway, with all the rain, we didn't go. It has been raining all day and we thought it would be too much of a mess. We are sad because we really have been wanting to the weenies swim. We ended up getting an email from the park this afternoon saying that they moved the event to next weekend because of the rain, but we can't go because we will be at the GT game. Oh well! Maybe next year!
We have also been busy with some home improvement projects. We painted the everything in the main room of our loft, including a design on one wall behind the bed. We also cleaned off our bookcase and put some books (textbooks!!) in plastic tubs, which will be put in storage for now (aka, the in-laws basement). We are so glad they have a basement that they let us use as a personal storage area. Their basement is in addition to our packed storage unit in the basement in our building and all of the stuff in my mawmaw's basement. The home projects have kept us busy! I will post some pictures soon of all the changes.
Finally, my aunt Ginger, who has been dealing with cancer for several years, died last weekend. She was in the hospital for a couple of weeks before that. It was a somewhat stressful time for the family, so that also kept us busy. My family has changed so much in the past year!
I never blogged about this, but several of you knew this situation. When mom was in the hospital, Ben and I went to her safe deposit box in search of her will. Long story short, the whole box, as in all of the contents and the box itself, were gone. Missing. The bank had no explanation, as the box had not been drilled. All of the records relating to the box were mysteriously missing. Well, this week, the contents of the box were returned to us. I'm not really sure what was in there before, but somehow I don't feel like we got everything.
at this point, I'm glad we got what we did. Now everything sits on the counter, still in the plastic bag. For some reason, I'm a little sad about it, but I'm not sure why. I don't really want to go through the stuff right now. So it will just sit there for now.
Finally, I have gotten a little bored with eating at home. We always stick with the same meals. With the weather getting colder soon, that will add some meal options into our rotation. We only make soups and roast when it is cold, so that will help. Anyway, Kelly's Korner had a dinner recipe tour, so I am excited about getting some new dinner recipes.
I think that is all for now!
