Well THAT has REPURPOSE Written All Over It

[pic' for Marni! isn't he cute?]

This weekend it was time for our little pony to receive his first bath. Since it rained for 9 days straight it has been pretty muddy here in lovely ol' Virginny...so off to Target for a suitable vessel in which to wash the beast.

~

We do have a garden tub in our master bath and although he could probably jump in, he is older [7 years] and we want to spare his hips the work.

~

Hence our old standby - a blue, plastic baby pool.

~

Having lived with this pooch for the last 2 weeks one would assume Pooldad and the youngest would have a good gauge of just how big Mr. Scooby is, right? You wouldn't think so by the size of the pool they brought home. Nope.

~

Spot fit great. And she was fine, but I swear the Chessie was laughing at Dad when he tried to get him in. Chessies love the water, that is a given, but poor Scooby just looked at Dad with a face that said "Gee, dude...thanks for the new water bowl. What's with the bubbles?"

~

It was hysterical. Spot could drown in the thing and Scoob barely got his ankles wet. Yes, it was that small. [They eventually soaped him up and hosed him off - mission accomplished. Then it rained again. Argh.]

~

I stayed inside giggling at the fiasco which was "First Doggie Bath Day" and dreamed about all the things I can now use the pool for - what shall it be?

~

I finally decided it would be best utilized as a really nice [albeit shallow] container garden on our back deck. The only things I can think of that may thrive in such a tiny vessel are herbs and some flowers. So that will be fun, I suppose.

The best part? This wasn't even the funniest thing that happened this weekend. :D

I Think My Husband Just Fainted

Tony Dorsett rocks!

I just called him at work to let him know I saw a commercial for a new show.

Get this-it is all about THE DALLAS COWBOYS. Think Yvo's obsession with the Mets or Marni's overt fondness for her beloved "Lost" and you get the idea. Now tenfold it.

It is called 4thandLong. It airs on Spike TV starting March 18 at 10 pm.

Damn. Just when I thought I could get through a quiet offseason of a few months this comes along.

Bad enough they have the Super Bowl in February now [what happened to January folks?] and pre-season starts in August. AUGUST?

Well, now it is official. Football. 12 months a year. And the stupid Cowboys to boot. [ha!]

Love you honey ;)

This is Us Not Celebrating

If I had known how easy this was to make I wouldn't have been hitting up my [now defunct] local Pie Shop for the past 20 years.

So, so, so easy.

Homemade Stawberry Pie

Homemade whipped cream

Valentine's Day on a plate

Oh, and remember I said we don't buy gifts or cards for eachother?
Well I was blessed with a
"Lucky Friday the 13th bouquet"
He's a goof, but I love him.
[prize to whomever can guess what I used as a vase]
And a balloon for our foyer so the girls can see when they arrive home.

Blogger only allowed me these five pics, so I will have to post dinner some other time.

~

It was so yummy. We made stuffed shells and Sink salad [with Catalina dressing - hi Marni!] instead. We all ate way too much and I suspect we will all sleep until noon tomorrow.

~

I hope everyone had a lovely day and you felt loved and appreciated.

Hugs and Happy Valentine's Day.
