rainy day + moose goes to work

I believe that when it's a cold and rainy spring day it should be perfectly acceptable to sleep all day and binge on Netflix. Sadly it is not acceptable and is not what I get to do today.

In other news, Moose is becoming quite a good little office dog. Other than the fact that he leaves his nose and paw prints on the doors and sheds on the couch, he does well and greets our customers with the friendly wag of his tail. Alex added him to our office website as our "Motivation Speaker"...I think it's a bit of a stretch, but our customers have seemed to like it.  

I made him give me his best Business Professional look. 

happy friday

Today is the first day of spring! Hallelujah, it has finally arrived! This week crawled by, the perfect example: on Monday evening Alex went outside to take our trash around to the front to be picked up...unfortunately our trash day is Thursday. Then I got some sort of stomach bug and was out of commission for a day. I'm glad that this week is behind us and I'm looking forward to this weekend.

We are planning to spend Saturday with Alex's family and if the weather is nice enough I want to spend every waking moment outside because Moose and I have spring fever. Every time we go outside, he sniff's everything he can possibly find. It's annoying but I can't help but let him because we've been cooped up for too long.

This week I found a few good links for your enjoyment. So, click away my friends and enjoy!


This "preview" has nailed it perfectly....but I still want to see the movie

This is a practice I may need to adopt

"The metabolic effects of sitting are overwhelming any benefits that exercise might have"

There is a healthier alternative to a salad, can this be true?!

Even though we just got cable, I'd be tempted to switch to this

This could get addictive

Have a great weekend!!

happy birthday moose

Our sweet pup is THREE today! I can't believe we have had him for three years. He is finally starting to mellow out a little. But never fear, he is still a happy, (slightly less) wild, excited version of himself. He is a great sock thief, squirrel chaser, running buddy and snuggler. I'm so glad we get to be his people and he's our pup. Happy, happy, happy birthday Moose Man Magoo!

If you want to see how he's grown, check out his first and second birthday's. 

happy friday

This week was not easy with that dang time change. I don't feel like I've caught up on sleep yet and I've been in bed by 9:30 for the past three nights...

Other than that we didn't have a particularly interesting week. Spring seems to have arrived and we've spent as much time outside as we can. I love living in the Midwest so we get to experience all four seasons equally.

This weekend we're planning to spend some time with my sister and her family and as always, catch up on the ever growing pile of laundry. I hope to find time to start my new book, but in the meantime this week's links are pretty entertaining. Enjoy!


I know that I'm not alone with my distaste for time changes...

We live in a world where the news can be a bit "crappy," this is no exception

On Monday The Bachelor wrapped up and I love this writers hilarious recap

This video made me tear up a little

I'm glad I wasn't following some of these semi's but, I feel like I would have stopped to help clean up the Twizzlers 

and one last video to end on...a cat fail

Have a great weekend!
