It happened again! Four months sneaky-sneaked by and I didn't think about blogging once, until now. How does that happen? Well, forget everything I said in my last post then. I have no explanation. We'll just enjoy this while we can, and nod our heads in mutual understanding while the months (years?) slip by until the next time.
JJ:
-Has been working his butt off preparing for the great ARMS inspection. I just learned yesterday (the day of the inspection, I'll admit it) that that stands for Aviation Readiness somethin' somethin'. After today he'll get a little bit of a breather, and then on to the next one in November. He hasn't had a vacation all year and sorely needs it. We're thinking Disneyland.
-Recently opened a twitter account, which brings me no end of delight every time he casually references it. Example: "I can't believe Samantha Johnson didn't make it! (to the next round of America's Got Talent). I even tweeted about it." And sure enough: https://twitter.com/JJWeidner1
-Is doing so well with his new goal to cut back on soda! We haven't had any in the house since the beginning of the month, and he has not complained once. It's possible he's getting his fix from other sources, but to my knowledge, that has only happened a few times. To my knowledge.
I:
-have decided to go into partnership with BFF Carol to start our own online LuLaRoe business, and we couldn't be more stoked! If you haven't heard of LuLaRoe, then just savor this moment, cause from this point on there will never be a time when you haven't heard of LuLaRoe. That's right, I'm going to be one of THOSE people, and I'm feeling surprisingly ok about that. Cause money!
-recently finished The Crucible of Doubt and can't recommend it highly enough to all my friends and loved ones who are LDS, thinking of being LDS, previously LDS, or know someone who is LDS.
-also highly recommend the movie "Philomena", which I watched three times in one week and which inexplicably made me cry like a baby only the second and third times.
Meatball:
-is loving his new role as Mama's little jogging buddy! He tends to drag and jump up on my bum during the first leg, and then magically gets a first wind the minute we turn around for the second leg. Which makes me wonder if maybe he actually doesn't love it so much, and is just so excited to be finally jogging home? Hmmmm.
-has gained some weight in recent months (now up to 16lbs!) but is also remarkably tall for a pug, leading us to question his lineage.
-went to the dog park for the first time last month and was terrified. Being ruthlessly pursued by several German Shepherds and Bernese Mountain Dogs probably didn't help. Sorry Meaty!
We:
-are enjoying our new townhouse, and hope to one day muster enough motivation to fully unpack all our belongings.
-have enjoyed following America's Got Talent, American Ninja Warrior, and Running Wild with Bear Grylls every week. But seriously, The Professional Regurgitator should have won. Not sure what America was thinking on that one.
-have recently rediscovered Taco Bell. Can anyone explain to us why crunchwraps and grilled stuft nachos are so so so good?
