It feels like a four post kind of day

Probably because I haven't posted all weekend. I'm currently without internet because I am dog sitting for Max (aka Maximus, Max-E, Maxwell, etc.) who belongs to a nice couple in my home ward and who I dog sit on a fairly regular basis.


I like Max. He's an easy going dog who listens well (although his hearing is on the fritz at the mo') and only barks when someone is at the front door. I LOVE dogs who don't bark much. It's the only way to have a dog, I tell you. Also, he doesn't stare at me when I eat and he just stays by my side for the most part while I am at the house but not in an annoying "get away from me or else I'll scream" kind of way.


I have lots of pictures to post from my weekend of playing with family and friends (for purposes of this blog, from here on out "the kiddos" will refer to my brother's kids, "the boys" will be Lauren's sons, Monkey and Bug and I'll have to come up with something to call all of them as a whole, but those labels will do fine for now).


I babysat the kiddos minus one (Noah) on Friday night and we had a fun filled evening of Chick-fil-A, pretty sunsets, wrestling and a rousing game of Pretty Pretty Princess. Yes. I took plenty of future black mail photos. Muahahahahaha!


Saturday I slept in! Oh Saturday morning sleeping in is one of my all time favorite things to do. Hmmmm. Then I went out that night to dinner and a movie (Hancock) with friends. It was very fun, although I was in a somewhat grouchy at times mood (my jaw has really been hurting me, then add sinus pain on top of that and I am one unhappy camper), and the movie was alright. If you see it, pay $5 or less or wait for the DVD. Although I liked the characters (even Charlize Theron, who isn't really my favorite) and the story was pretty good, it lacked a little something. I can't quite put my finger on it. Enjoyable though - if you can overlook repeated use of the A-word.


Sunday I went to my home ward in order to stay close to Max so he wouldn't be so lonely. It worked out nice because Lauren invited me and Christy and John to have dinner with them and Wil's brother and his wife who were in town visiting for the weekend. She made delish florentine meatballs. At this I will say that I will forever love Rachel Ray for providing my sister (who was already a wonderful cook) with amazing recipes to make into her own even more amazing meals. Basically, the food was amazing. So we ate and played with the boys and enjoyed each others company and did I mention the food was amazing? I love my sissie and her husband for letting us all lounge around their home.


After dinner, Christy came back to the dog sitting house with me and we played Sims. Christy and I have recently begun bonding over this game. It's silly and it's fun. And then there was this secret on Post Secret this week.

There are a few things I like about this screen shot. I like that my Sim houses are designed a lot nicer than this one. I like that the person admits favortism toward one character (I recently made a Sim die because the character was bugging me so much) and I like that death is wearing a lei. No one else has party clothes on...apparently he really likes his job.
