25 Things About Me

I thought it might be fun to post this here, since I’ve done it on facebook three years ago! No. 23 is the only change – it used to say: I am deeply disturbed by the state of our garage. But now that my hubby has transformed the then atrocious garage into our functional (albeit still crammed) letterpress studio – that statement is no longer true!

1. I give everything nicknames.

2. I love to cook, specially if it is for other people like my family and friends.

3. I try to stay in touch with family and friends.

4. My feet are always cold.

5. I love dogs, my Frenchie in particular.

6. I cannot walk and drink at the same time.

7. I do not like waking up in the morning.

8. I have a bad temper.

9. I am deathly afraid of worms.

10. I don’t like make-up and therefore never wear it.

11. I love taking photographs.

12. My favorite book is “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee.

13. I can watch “You’ve got Mail” over and over again.

14. I obsess about getting in shape but don’t do anything about it.

15. I am a hypochondriac – like father like daughter.

16. My husband is my best friend and my boss at work.

17. I am appalled that my nose is just going to keep on growing.

18. I share the same birthday as my father-in-law.

19. I am sad that common sense is no longer common.

20. I am disheartened by children who are easily bored.

21. I love chocolate.

22. I still watch cartoons.

23. My husband urges me to keep on (re)learning new things (rollerblading, skiing, sailing, yoga, letterpress, etc.) – I am an eternal student.

24. I am a Mac addict.

25. I can’t live without music.

L’amour non plus!

I thought the affair might last forever, but in the meantime, Stitch has chewed the raw hide down to a gooey mass and has swallowed half of it! The other half is now drying on a piece of paper towel in a safe place where he can check on its existence whenever he pleases! If he even wants to….Ah, but he is French! There will be other love affairs!

Still inseparable

A few nights ago, Stitch continued his little love affair with his Raw Hide!  He sprawled onto his donut-bed and chewed it to bits, grunting and snorting! Before bed time, he frantically looked for a new place to hide the gooey piece of hide. He went all over the house huffing and puffing!  But Stitch went back to his original hiding place, lifted the mattress from his donut-bed  and under the ‘thing’ went. He gently plopped the mattress back over it and tried to move his blankie over top to conceal his treasure even more.  Finally, the hide was completely out of sight!  He stood before his donut-bed and just stared at it for the longest time.  “Is this a safe enough place?” he seems to be thinking.  Then he un-earthed the ‘thing’ again, grabbed it with his jowls and disappeared somewhere. Hubby and I were both working on our computers and decided to let him be for a moment.

Few moments passed when I heard soft whimpering coming from the upstairs area!  It was Stitch! He had buried his treasure between a pile of paper and a bookcase! To him it was hidden, but to us it was still in plain sight!  He was all stretched out in front of the room guarding it with watchful eyes. He wasn’t about to let us in the room! I wonder how long this affair will last?

Inseparable!

Last night we re-introduced our Frenchie, Stitch to his Raw Hide! Before going to bed he hid it carefully under the pillow in his donut-bed, so inquisitive and playful Boo (our Boston Terrier) would not find it! This morning, Stitch couldn’t wait until he got down to the living room (yes, he sleeps in bed with hubby and I) to check his donut-bed.  He had to make sure his treasure was still buried. And to his delight it was! They were inseparable during breakfast!
