And...
It was a nice weekend. (Mostly!)
Bret and Jack headed over to Spokane for hoopfest. This left Alexa, Ryan and myself to fend for ourselves.
When I'm by myself I swear I hear EVERY noise at night. And it didn't help that when I was brushing my teeth at 12:30 a.m. my little guard dog (Coco Chewnel), made the "scared cry noise" and ran out of the bedroom, she seemed to be running from something! I've only seen her do this on a few occasions.
She's usually doing this: (I swear she smiles at me.)

I did my best to check for anything suspicious, but couldn't find anything. So with that Coco and I went to bed. It was after 2:00 a.m. that I finally got some sleep. I woke up during the night as I was on the very edge of the bed and Coco was snuggled right up next to me. (I mean really Coco...we've got the whole bed and yet I'm being a contortionist just so you can sleep so close to me.) So much for catching up on sleep. (!) Thank heavens for my morning latte. (I never tire of Starbucks dbl tall nf coffee...just wish I knew how to make a pretty design with the steamed milk.) ;)
Sunday was a nice day of organizing things. Thanks to Alexa who showed me how to create file folders on my computer. A whole new world has opened up! :) (Who knew it could take sooooo long to organize all of the "favorites" on my little 'ol computer, but I did. (i.,e. home ideas, clothing, recipes, favorite blogs etc.) Honest to goodness, I spent several hours doing this~!
Before I knew it the boys arrived home. Alexa made us all a wonderful dinner of pasta with chicken and bacon, topped with freshly grated parmsean cheese. Pure comfort food for a Sunday night! Later that night, Bret and I (and Coco/Daisy) sat down to watch the movie This Means War. (Although it wasn't a fashion palooza by any means, I loved all of the cute dresses Reese Witherspoon wore.) As we are watching the movie I see this itsy bitsy spider literally HANGING between Bret and I!!!!!!!!! (How can something so small have such a powerful, dizzying, scary effect?!!!) I jumped up and okay, I screamed. We never did find it. (I just hope it didn't land on my head and get caught in my hair!) It made me think about all of those studies that say that we eat insects etc. Well...I hope I scared it off and it told it's friends that our family room isn't a good place to "hang out". Arggggg! Okay... I'm off to wash my hair!
Happy July 2nd. Have a sparkly week.
