what I bought

a few things I bought from CSN


Ware Mfg Pop up Playpen
Scout absolutely loves her house.
I had hopes of actually being able to close the doors and leave her in it
instead of her tiny crate
but she escaped after a few seconds. (velcro floor).
It's easy to set up and take down.
I take it home to my mom and dad's so she has a place to hang out.




I like this preppy collar and leash but the collar is kind of bulky and doesn't really work well
on the security front. Not good for a puppy, maybe a full grown dog.
The leash is sturdy and I love that I can hook my hand through the end of it. 

Graham and Brown frames wallpaper


probaby wouldn't wallpaper a whole room with it.
thinking of something like this

what have you bought lately?

my parents met at a bar

my parents met at my grandparents bar.
mom was helping dad's brother put faux fur on the dash of his van.
(true story.)
today is their 32nd wedding anniversary.
so to everyone that says you can't find your soulmate in a bar
up your ziggy with a wawa brush. 
(what movie?)
yep. her wedding colors were blue and green. 

awesome hat mom.

then they had 3 amazing kids
michael.me.wynter dawn.
and a scary scary Indian.

on a side note-
my dad without a beard.
everyone says I look just like him.
