HAPPYHAPPYHAPPY

I really have been a slouch at updating recently but January was a big month so I hope you will all forgive me. First and foremost... Craig and I are getting marrieeedddddd! But you all knew that...unless you are some poor random soul who has stumbled across this blog while making their way across the internet in which case you just get to be surprised! But in all likelihood this is old news to you. I couldn't be happier and I am so excited that I will probably try to tell all of you all about how happy I am in every conversation between now and June 2013 when we get married. After which I will probably continue to tell you how happy I am. So get ready for a lot of happy and consider yourself warned!

Craig was actually here this weekend so we had a great time going skiing, hanging out with Jake and Sarah and Mom and Dad, and playing with the small monster! Thankfully Craig loves Lola just as much as I do. I hope you will accept this picture in lieu of an epicly long update:


also to anyone who is concerned- I did manage to get the toilet unplugged!

Your dog ate your homework? I can top that....

Happy New Year!

As many of you know I was visiting Craig in Boston last weekend. As such, Lola spent the weekend at the scooby shack. She had a wonderful time and was very tired when I picked her up. I think she was a little bit miffed that I left her for the whole weekend though because she did what she does when she's mad.... poop in a corner. Yes, you heard me right. She goes upstairs while I'm on the phone or something and poops in a corner. This is very unfortunate and does not happen often... I would not tolerate that... but it's hard to tell a pissed-off puppy. And catching her in the act is also next to impossible as she's very sneaky. ANWAYS after discovering the proof of her discontent I obviously cleaned it up. As an engineer and a person generally looking for the most efficient (easiest) way to solve a problem I can tell you exactly what went through my head:


oh damn. she pooped. oh well... at least she pooped in the bathroom. I can just flush it right? pick it up with toilet paper and then poop is poop so that shouldn't be a problem... yeah.... flush the poop! problem solved!


Problem not solved. Your dog ate your homework? My dog clogged my toilet.


(actually any hints for unclogging would be generally appreciated.... the plunger isn't working!)
