End of July

This post won't be too exciting, but it'll get everyone caught up with recent Lawrence happenings.  

Brian and I have decided to be healthy... meaning eating healthy and exercising.  We bought enough food to eat healthy for a week, and we have achieved that goal (so maybe we can go a couple more).  We also have been exercising almost every day.  So, go us!

Here is a recipe that we concocted one night, it is a delicious corn and avocado salsa.  Here is the link to the recipe... http://www.weightwatchers.com/food/rcp/RecipePage.aspx?recipeId=142551 

We had Kelley over for dinner.  As you can see, Mallard joined us on the table for dinner :) 

For all of my Athens friends, I found a place that makes cookies that literally tastes like Take the Cake's cakes.  They are like a little slice of Heaven.  I couldn't be happier that I found this place, and it is only $4 for a dozen.  Wahoooo!

Having morning coffee on the side porch with the pups.  The girls love their perch.  They are such good watchdogs.  And, I have learned that a screened-in side porch is a LOT better than a front porch.  I have sat on it and eaten on it a lot more than I ever did on my front porch at the old house.

Two more things...

I bought cat food accidentally instead of dog food... whoops.

Poor Mallard's right side of her face is swollen and inflamed, and she has a ruptured eardrum.  So, I have been at the vet the past couple of days.  Good thing I got my previous deposit back.  She is racking up the vet bills.  She is quite the problem child, but she is the BEST, sweetest puppy dog ever (besides Lola of course)!
