I’d like to apologize for being so scarce on my blog lately. Between working, house guests, doctors appointments and the anticipation of transferring again soon… it’s been quite difficult to find time for any fun, creative antics. I am seriously ready for some DIY projects, thrift store fun and creativity!!

But for now… I have to rest through the weekend. You see, I had my upper wisdom teeth out this morning. Nothing too crazy, but apparently they just want you to rest for several days. They make this mandatory by knocking you out with pain meds. Laying in bed all day watching movies is not a bad thing in my book by any means! It’s been nice, but I do get a little stir crazy. Tomorrow is more resting, but at least I can work a few hours from home the rest of the week when I’m not doped up too heavily. *sigh*

Now you are wondering what’s with the picture of the dog. This was taken a couple years ago near the end of our time in Hawaii. Somehow I caught him mid yawn, and it reminded me of my “fun” morning of strangers poking around my mouth.

Happy rest of your week!

Yes, I love my dog child. I am so happy he’s part of our lives. He makes me smile every day. Especially, when he tears off running in circles around the house… just like he is doing right now! Love him! And you should too!

These photos were taken in the bathtub… after a romping in the Hawaiian red, nasty mud. Too cute! Two of my all-time favorite pictures of him.

I love summer nights… cool summer nights. Not much better than a beach blanket and soft grass on a lovely evening. Here are some moments from my weekend. My little sister was staying with us. We all took Bonsai to the field to play. It was so relaxing. Can’t wait for next weekend! Photos taken by my husband, Dustin. Edited (quite a bit) in Aperture by me! I went a little crazy, but I love that program! It’s wonderful for those of us, like me, who don’t really know how to take fabulous photos… Dustin you take fabulous photos though!!

How do you enjoy your summer nights?

…to say “hello”. I had surgery this week on my mouth. BLAH! Braces are no fun… borderline torture I say. Not too much longer to go. That’s good.

Now that I’m feeling better I hope to finish up my projects for the Crafty Daisies Book Club on Bend the Rules Sewing. This was “due” yesterday, but I was knocked out on pain meds all week. Hope to share my makes with you later today or tomorrow.

In the meantime, this photo taken by my husband made me laugh. I love our dog, Bonsai. He is such a character.
