Of Grooming and the Gaslight Theatre...and Hiking...oh, and Painting, too!

This week has been pretty fun....we finished painting the master bedroom. It looks pretty good!


(sorry if the pics are a bit fuzzy...no flash and slightly shaky hands...)

On Thursday morning, I gave Leo a hair-cut, commonly called the "cocker cut" (see picture). I think he looks oh so adorable, and if I keep this up, we will save almost $150 a year by not taking him to the groomer. Gotta love it...(even though he's not a big fan)


Last night, we went to the Gaslight Theatre with Loren and Austin. Austin had never been and he had a blast, which I think says a lot about a person. Anyway, the show was "Cronan: The Barbarian", and it was by far the funniest show I've seen there. We all laughed so hard...and the cast did, too. In one scene involving a centaur, the main actress on stage was laughing so hard she couldn't speak for like five minutes...it was fantastic...If you get a chance to see it, totally go- its there until Halloween (Oct 31).



This morning, Sean and I went to Pusch Ridge in Oro Valley for a little hike. It was fun, and of course, watching Leo explore and chase rabbits was half of the entertainment. Afterward, we went to Arby's for lunch, mostly to visit my friend Min who's the manager. Good day so far...Sean is leaving on a business trip this week until Friday, so spending all this fun time with him will sure help. I don't think we've been apart for more than a couple days, so I'm really going to miss my honey bear.







In other news, I got a D on my first chemistry test, but because I kick butt on quizzes and HW, I still have an A in the class...figure that one out...anyway, if I just keep trying, I will survive this semester!

And...let's see...oh! Sean and I are hoping to adopt another Cocker Spaniel. It's not official yet but we're really praying we get to be her family (we're on a list right now). Pima Community College's Vet Tech program (the one I'm trying for), gets animals from local shelters for the students to take care of. At the end of every semester, they find the animals permanent, loving homes. I think its a pretty cool system. Anyway, right now they have this absolutely cute female cocker named Lily. She's a golden color with amber eyes and a brown nose. And her personality is so much like Leo. She's a snuggle-bug, very sweet but very excitable, too....she's basically a golden, female version of Leo...although he could chase a ball till he fell over and she'd rather snuggle. We feel like its the right thing, especially for Leo...he just needs a friend, and Sean refuses to get another cat...anyway, keep your fingers crossed!


This isn't Lilly, but its kind of what she looks like, only her tail is docked like Leo's and her coat is more of the top length all over...just to give ya'll a visual. Real pictures coming soon!

Sean also bought me a new ring....it's not quite what I was expecting, but its the thought that counts, right? It's definitely unique...
