New Puppy

Okay, so we got a new puppy on Sunday named Cinnamon. I seem to be the only person in the household who realized how much work a new puppy is. Her days and nights are seriously mixed up and she only really likes to sleep in spurts, mainly between 4:15 and 5:15 a.m. I knew this was coming and I was prepared for it. I remember back to bringing home Ryan and Amanda and the lack of sleep that followed. It is very similar to having a new baby (except I am not soley responsible for the production of food) given the lack of sleep and up at night and the potty training etc. She really is the sweetest puppy and has a great playful nature. When she gets all this sleep business worked out I think everyone will be able to enjoy her as much as I am.

Saturday

Today we had a busy day. I woke up, picked up a friend and her daughter and met Ryan and Monica for lunch. Then we headed to the nail salon for pedicures. Nothing like it let me tell you! It is the best way to relax. After pedis, we went shopping for new living room furniture. That is going to be a feat let me tell you. We began this remodeling project and have repainted the living room, dining room, kitchen and hall bath. Only thing left to paint is our bedroom. There are a few touch up areas, and some trim left to paint and the doors, but it is looking soooo good! We are so pleased. We are going to buy verticle blinds for the windows and then will buy new drapes. After that we will move to kitchen and get new appliances (I want stainless steel if possible) and new counter tops and back splash. It's going to be a lot of work but will be sooo worth it. After all this looking at furniture, we decided on spagetti, garlic bread and salad for dinner. It was very yummy! Tomorrow is Sunday and I am looking forward to my day of rest!
