Dog days of summer. . .

The fantastic days of summer oh boy they are passing us by quickly. It seems that winter lasted f.o.r.e.v.e.r. but the lazy, warm wonderful season is almost over.

I've realized I now cannot blog at work, considering I rarely turn on my computer at home anymore this cuts into my blogging time and ability drastically. So much has happened. Joe & I are coming up on a big anniversary; we are in such a good place right now that I'm really enjoying our marriage. I think it's taken this long to finally get in sync with each other and we are loving every second of it. Phew.

A neighbor and I started up a dog group in our community, we have quite a group going. Busiest night we had almost 20 dogs! It was wonderful. Gella (our pup) is slowly coming out of her shell, she has actually let other people pet her. I wonder if the pride I feel is what parents feel for kids, because I am proud. She's overcoming so much just by letting a kid stand next to her! *(quick back story, she was very badly abused before we adopted her, she has many quirks due to said abuse)*

I've been taking many photos lately, there is so much beauty here that I'm having a hard time focusing on which part to try and capture. It's fun just trying, thrilling when something turns to my liking.

The good ol days

Lately I've been rather nostalgic, I popped in a CD from a few years ago and it’s crazy to think it’s actually been a few years ago. Back then I worked for that company near the town that I grew up in, I worked with one of the band members. Said member had this girl crushing all over him, oh he was just so beautiful. Dark lovely hair, blue icy eyes and such a kind kind heart. They are a fantastic band and I love their music. They are available on ITunes now, band name Fielding. You should check them out, good for lazy nostalgic afternoons.

How many Euro can I spend on one piece of fruit?

Apparently alot! I actually squealed when I saw them and it hurt to buy them, but I made some guacamole. Not great, but damn if I didn't eat it all.

Bad wife

Apparently i'm a bad wife. At least according to 1930's standards and for that matter, I would hope I am.

I scored: 3 As a 1930s wife, I am Very Poor (Failure)

Here's the site, 1930's wife go have some fun! I'm off to judge Joe.

I could hug both of them

I made a purchase with a company in Hong Kong. Two days later my parents (old contact info) got a call, the card has been put on fraud alert. Which really is great, they are looking out for me, but now means I have to make a call sit on hold forever. ick.

So I called my company to tell them hey it was me & not fraud, [much to my surprise it was quick] the woman I spoke with was the nicest person ever. I mentioned I'm stationed overseas, so please delete the work number you have on file blah blah.. she got all appreciative and thanked me so much, to which I feel guilty about since it's Joe who's serving not me. She went beyond what she normally does and fixed all my problems with the account updated all my info. She was fantastic!

I have to say it's nice to hear it every so often (NO I'm not asking you to) people ARE still thankful, wow. Yay for one lovely lady with Bank of America, she absolutely made my day!

*On a very very funny side note, Joe came home to a present at our front door. Our cleaning lady remembered it was our Wedding Anniversary yesterday. Um, was it? Really? Because we both forgot! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HUN!!!!
