Doggie Sister Gets Payback

In my household we have 3 dogs, 2 female and 1 male.  The Yorkie, Nash, is the male and the youngest.  At times, he feels it necessary to sass and harass his sisters, a rat terrier and a lab mix.  This morning was one of those days.  Unfortunately, the rat terrier wasn't in the mood.  When Nash went to be nosey in her kennel, she decided to push the door closed.  Being the goofball that he is, Nash doesn't realize that all he has to do is push.  Instead, he sits in there and cries.  

Tyson Chicken

I bought a new bag of Tyson chicken breasts the other day.  I love buying these because the bag is resealable.  The instructions on this bag caught my attention.  The "tear here" wording is below the ziploc seal.  Good thing I didn't follow instructions.  

Carnegie Deli in Vegas

I stopped in to have lunch with a new friend.  This sandwich is huge, but excellent.   

Gourmet Birthday Dinner

For our four-legged babies, we always make them a special dinner.  Riley, my Lab and German Sheperd mix turned 7 this month.   Her dinner consisted of Grands biscuits, spam, fried egg, sprinkled with dog food.  She enjoyed every bite.  

Holiday Season

I find this time of year I tend to do a lot of reflecting and remembering how much I enjoyed the holidays when my grandparents and in-laws were around.  The holidays just haven't been the same since the passing of my grandparents and my mother and father in law.  They were the heads of the families and were the glue that kept each of the families together.  They have each been gone several years now and with each year that goes by, the holidays become less and less special.   

This year, we spent the first part of our day having lunch (I made Menudo), working on our puzzle, and just relaxing.  In the evening, we went over to friends house for Fajitas, decorating gingerbread cookies, and hanging out.  We always have fun when we hang out with our friends, but there was nothing "holidayish" about the evening.  It was just friends hanging out and having fun.

Sometimes I think we should do something that would bring the festiveness back to the holidays, but I have no idea what that something would be.  What do you do to make your holidays special?

Wetzel's Pretzels

Today I was on vacation, so hubby and I went geocaching and to the mall.  While at the mall we decided to try Wetzel's Pretzel Bitz as well as Auntie Anne's pretzel bites.  The two cost a penny different (Wetzel's was more), but there was no comparison on anything else.  The portion was much larger at Wetzel's and the flavor was fantastic.  They were light, fluffy, buttery, and had just the right amount of salt.  As much as I dislike going to the mall, I would make the trip back just for Wetzel's Pretzel Bitz.  

Amope Pedi Perfect

A couple of weeks ago, hubby picked up an Amope Pedi Perfect while he was out shopping.  I have terribly dry and rough feet.   I have tried various other methods, but nothing ever seems to work.  I read the instructions and it seems almost too simple, but I was willing to give it a try.  The first time I gave it a try, it actually worked.  Now both hubby and I use the Amope Pedi Perfect regularly.  We have finally found something that gets rid of the rough dry skin and this method actually takes very little effort.  It was well worth the money.
