Thursday....Blah


From last week:

♥Watched Happy. It is fantastic and definitely worth watching! (Its on netflix right now.)*
♥We actually got ALL of the dog poo cleaned up. (It had really built up over the winter!)
♥Bought all of the panels to put a fence. (To keep the Bud-ster boy from running off after animals.)

This week...well.

I am super blah right now. Its difficult to see any positives at the moment.

So in lieu of a post, please enjoy this dog being very silly:




*Wow, that seems so damned ironic at this point.

Valentine's Of The Past

When I was very small, my biological mother kept scrap-books for me.

These are Valentines I received in Preschool, and Kindergarten.

Snoopy!!!!!!

I really loved the sundae one. It was a scratch-n-sniff one. It (used to) smell like strawberries.

Hand-made Valentines, super cool! I love the fluffy haired person. It is very Dr. Seuss.

Happy Valentine's Day to all of my awesome readers!

Hope your day is great.
