I'm a terrible influence and proud of it!

I was chatting with a friend on the phone. And over the course of our conversation, her language went from everyday conversation to rather rude and vulgar. I asked her about that and she said she only did it when she talked to me and I said that I must be a bad influence and doing something right!

Nobody wants the black girl...

We have sold all the puppies but one. The last one was promised off, but the guy reneged at the last minute. So now, here I am with the puppy at 7 weeks old and I've got to do something with her. Hopefully she'll sell in the next week. I don't really want to house-train another dog...

Here's a picture of the bacon quilted meatloaf I made last week. It smelled deliscious. I've got to work on the meatloaf part a little bit more, though...

Realizing I'm Back Home

So I decided to make a nice meal for tonight. Meatloaf, garlic mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, and wilted spinach salad. We're having a few people over, not just eating this all by ourselves.

For those that know me, know that I'm not a huge meatloaf fan. However, that nice man I live with has been requesting it for some time. So I decided to aquiesce. Since I'm not a meatloaf kind of girl, I decided a good choice would be to put a bacon quilt/weave on top/around the meatloaf. Everything's better with bacon, afterall. However, I had already bought all the ingredients (other than the bacon) earlier today at the grocery store. So I had to make a second trip just for the bacon. The first trip, I had all sorts of healthy food items in my cart and didn't run into a single person I knew in the very crowded Publix. The second trip, now known as The Bacon Trip, I ran into three people I knew, as soon as the bacon was in my possession.

Only in my world would I run into a ton of people looking like the fat kid I am. Now that I have three packets of bacon safely in my possession, time to make a bacon weave!

The Puppies Are Here!

Tallulah gave birth this morning to six beautiful puppies!

I am terrible about remembering to update. I'm currently working on a baby blanket for a friend made out of mitered squares with self-striping sock yarn. We'll see how it turns out. Hopefully I'll remember to take a picture. My goal is to get the blanket finished I go see the friend next week. Luckily, the layover in Chicago is like 3 hours...

In other news, I plan on tricking my husband intro trying some homemade ice cream.

I went to a friend's wedding yesterday. Their first date was our wedding three years ago, so it was a nice way to spend our anniversary weekend. The friend and I met in college when we lived in the same dorm. I got to see a lot of people we used to live with in said dorm. One of the former dormmates asked me what I'm up to these days. I told him I'm an Army Wife now and I do what I want.
