It's been kind of a crazy week around here and as Mexico Mission trip approaches for Eric I find my honey-do list has become my "Abby-do while Eric's away" list. I like to take on big projects, cleaning, crafting and organizing so when Eric comes home the house is in order, the pets are happy and he marvels at all he's missed in the past two weeks and it helps me keep my mind off of him being gone. This year I have a few girlfriends that are willing to be a distraction for me so that helps as well. Usually my pocketbook can't afford the type of distractions that my girl's offer, but shopping is one of the many things I find myself good at.
Part of my Abby-do list started this weekend in my quest to seal off the 3.5 inches of space between my deck and the railing so Aquaman can come out on the porch with us and play. Below is a picture of my handy-work. As you can tell I'm the daughter of a very handy woman and I took on this project all on my own except for Eric coming to help me pick out the supplies. I wanted to be able to come out on the deck, and blog, read or whatever and not have to worry about Aquaman running straight off the end or having him sit by the screen door and whine the whole time. (I know how spoiled he is). Using some plastic netting and zip ties, Aquaman is now free to roam about the back porch.
So, as you can see, both Aquaman and I got our way and we're currently hanging out on the back porch and he even has his very own doggie bed/lawn chair to hang out on next to me. It was so funny after I finished the project he would run back and forth and jump up and down, he was so thrilled to be outside sans his leash. I guess I do live to make this dog happy after all...
I will catch up on blogging about our weekend later. I am off to relax. I think my brain could use a little R&R.
All the love,
Abby
