...Hot Puppies.. .

My life it seems rotates around the weather these days.. How hot will it be today?!? They are saying that this weekend will be in the 80's this weekend. Oh joy!

This is our thermostat today when I headed to bed.. The house temp was 89 degrees,.. UCK!!

I've got a couple hot yorkies on my hands.. 

Puppies first walk

So... Hubby and I took Gizmo and Rosie for their first acctual *on the leash* walk yesterday..

What I thought would look like this..  Us and the pups taking a nice stroll around the neighborhood..

Acctually, looked like this.. only with Hubby with Gizmo and myself with Rosie.. They are little dogs but man can they pull.. :)  

Gizmo has successfully chewed through yet, another collar/harness..(thats 3 now)  So now what?  Looks like we need to go to leather..

Jackpot...

 Ever have one of those moments where you feel completely blessed? I had one this morning.. it was my 'Ah ha' moment.. Last night, was my JOB's christmas party. We all boarded coach buses and headed to Treasure Island Casino. For those who know me, I rarely gamble. Bu there would be bowling and other things to do besides play the slots. So, Hubby and I ate at the buffett with my boss T & her daughter Dash (Day-sh).. It really was a good time.. after learning what a finger trap is Brian and I hit the slots..  It was SO smokey in this place that I think I may have to burn my clothes or wash them many times...  We finally settled on a group of machines. Hubby started playing '$tinkin' Rich' and myself on the machine next to him..  I'm not a very good gambler, most times can't see the point of putting money into a machine and lossing it. Which is what I did.. but Hubby was hot on this machine.. In the end, ended up cashing out at $50 more than what he put in the machine. Yay! I can finish Januray's project after all.. :)

But I relized something in the drama of the night.. that its not the quanity of friends you have but the quality of friends you have. I can honestly say that I don't have many people who I would concider 'close' friends. And I'm blessed. SO, maybe I didn't hit the money jackpot last night but I did hit the jackpot in friends.
