We've been exploring the outdoors a lot this past week and taking our "cars" out for a few test drives in the driveway. Spring is here and apparently the leaves taste good...

A good drink

Cholesterol

I checked my cholesterol the other day. My numbers came back pretty good. Total up from 130's to 143, but triglycerides an all time low of 27. LDL (the bad stuff) up to 70 (used to be in the 50's) but the HDL (good cholesterol) finally got into the 60's! Yeah. I celebrated with an ice cream!

Stay tuned!

Tomorrow I-man and Maggs are going for a fundraiser photo shoot! It will be a spring-themed sitting, so it should be fun. The question remains, however, what outfit I-man should wear?

Looking for Maggie

Caught the I-man doing this when I asked him "Where's Maggie". Little does he know that Maggie's belly is a bit too big to squeeze under the couch! He's been finding the cat under the couch a lot lately (probably hiding from HIM)

New chair?

I-man decided that crawling OVER Maggs (and resting on her a little bit) was the only way to get to Mao (who is sitting on that chair) and pester her. Sometimes this house feels like a circus

Another birthday celebration!

Yesterday was The Husband's birthday. He's old now. We got him a much needed gift. I got a really good deal on this programmable coffee maker
Yeah. He needs another coffee maker like I need another camera. Oh well. It might help him get up in the morning to know a hot cup of coffee is waiting in the kitchen. It might save a little money in the run, too. Since getting him a nice travel mug his daily coffee cost has decreased from $1.99 to $1.60 or so depending on who is serving him. And if he brings in his own coffee he won't even need to buy a cup. Or maybe he'll drink the one from home in the car and still need a second cup to get through the morning?

I am 1

And then there was A TOOTH!!!!!!!

Camp K9

I LOVE Maggie's doggie daycare/boarding place, Camp K9! I just called to make some reservations for her. They always answer the phone like this: "We're having a great day at Camp K9, how can I help you". You can't help but be in a good mood after that greeting and thinking of all the fun the dogs are having! We're thinking of dressing I-man up in a doggie suit and sending him there! He's gotten quite good at giving Maggie her toys and playing "fetch" with her. I think he'd have a blast!

4 am chatting

I was up at 4 am. Just couldn't sleep! Fortunately for me my friend in Hawaii was on google chat! We had a grand time She pointed me to the Baby Rock Lullaby site. A very useful resource indeed.

A super hero makes a visit

Woke up this morning and found Superman sleeping in our room!
