catching up

Lots to cover so stay with me...

So, since I've been out of pocket for a few weeks (you can thank my job and my temporarily questionable work ethic) I thought I would catch you up on what's been on my list of favorites.

I've been trying to complete this 2011 Challenge (see previous blog) but as it turns out, I've not been doing a 5K every month. I've actually read a book a month. If you knew me at all you would know this is a serious feat for me, with my add/dyslexia. So I thought you should know what I've been able to accomplish.

Impressed? Ya, I am too. But wait, there's more. If you keep reading right now... You'll see what I have on the hook for this month....

And yes, before you ask, that is a GRE prep book. I am once again considering Grad school. Why? When I figure that out, I'll post about it.

And finally, my new favorite dog toy. Ok so it's not a toy for a dog, it's a toy for a human having to do with a dog. Before you get freaked out, please let me explain. Even though our sweet little boy is a beautiful short-haired... whatever he is. We still cannot seem to keep up with his constant shedding. I mean seriously, we vacuum twice a week and still have to empty (we love our perfect dyson!!) the barrel 5 times for our 1 bedroom apartment. (what am I going to do when we live in a house with children?!?!!?) The solution? Meet the Furminator!!!!!

and the best part, Duncan loves it!! It's like getting his back scratched for a full hour. Talk about a two-for!!! He gets scratched and attention, I get rid of the mounds of hair equalling a large hamster every week. Don't believe me...

aaaaaaaaaaand, that is just one sitting of about 45 minutes. No trick photography or exaggerating! the millers fully support the Furminator!
