Buckle with the Bickels and other unimportant stuff

Buckle with the Bickels was last week but I'm a little tardy on some of my postings (see recent entries regarding dog distress for more information) so it's time to play a little game of catch up.

1. The Southwestern taco pot pie was, um, not great. I'm actually questioning the sanity of the two women at Thyme Management that chose to get not one, but two of these dishes for their households, giving up, if memory serves, the fantabulous pork dish I raved about a short while back. (No, there couldn't be more commas in that last sentence.) The night was not a total disastrous affair thanks to the adequately ripened pineapple and blueberry buckle. Our fear, though, is that Sara and Josh will invite us over for dinner the night they decide to consume their taco pot pie. Once was really more than enough. Looking at the glass half full side of life - that which does not kill you only makes you stronger. I'm sure we're stronger people for having eaten the pot pie but I don't really want to tempt fate.

2. The closet project is finished - on time and under budget, and I only had to throw out six bags of trash and place five plastic boxes in storage.

3. Beauty the wonder dog is doing fine. She hates the cone thing - no surprise there - and would much rather be outside playing. Unfortunately, her antibiotics and pain killer cocktail leaves her slightly woozy, such that she can't really do anything other than lay down or slowly pace the room.

Tomorrow will be spent figuring out what I'm going to do for the rest of the week. I have a feeling the laundry room will be involved in my plans. It is in dire need of a makeover.

Wooohoo! Maybe now you can come back to ISI as a project manager, since you can prove you have a better track record with projects than Patton ;) ....just a thought.

Tempting but I've got to (1) organize my laundry room, (2) re-arrange my bedroom, (3) train for a half-marathon in October, (4) figure out the rest of our European vacation, (5)...
