Jacob had his first playdate yesterday at his friend Jake’s house. Everything went really well–Jacob even managed to behave himself (or so says Jake’s parents). The boys got along famously. All I know is that it was the fastest 2.5 hours of the week. I will be calling Jake’s mom this week to set up a playdate at our house. I have a feeling that this is going to become a regular thing as Jake’s mom was already discussing the fun they’d be able to have playing outside in the summer. Jacob was rather disappointed when Brian arrived to pick him up, but it sounds like he arrived just in time–both kids were exhausted. Brian had some stops to make on his way home and Jacob ended up sleeping in the car for 45 minutes.
lizzy and the ferocious beast
A few months ago, I mentioned that I was going to try to find a kennel closer to home to board our dogs when we go on vacation. We’re going on vacation in May, so I had to get on the proverbial stick today and call around. Here’s what I found out…basically all of the places in our area are your run of the mill kennels. They all cost about the same, too. All places would probably be equally good, but I absolutely know that the dogs are well taken care of at the Cozy Inn Pet Resort, so it looks like we’re sticking with them (assuming they are available the dates of our trip). Like Brian said, going there is annoying (because of the distance) and expensive–just like my dogs. It’s a match made in heaven, more or less.
I was rather disappointed with the racist comments made by the one place I called. They didn’t want to board Ripley because she is a doberman. Something about their temperament was the reason. All I can guess is that this person is still living in the 1970s when dobermans were overbred and overly aggressive. Who else could possibly say such things about my favorite dog breed? Hmm. Maybe I should’ve found a different picture for display…
the life of david gale
I know it’s becoming cliche, but we had another movie and a Margarita night Friday evening. The movie was pretty good. I really wanted to see it when it was at the theater, but had since forgotten the plot. It is so much more enjoyable to watch a movie and have no idea what it’s going to be about. I should do that more often. Anyway, I thought it was a pretty cool movie. And it just goes to show that if more men could keep their dick in their pants, they could make their lives a whole lot easier.
The FlickFilosopher and I haven’t been agreeing on much these days. She didn’t like the movie.
the saturation point
Brian has finally gotten sick of watching Friends. I never thought I’d see the day. One day last week, I caught him watching reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond. I found that odd seeing that Friends was on at the time. The same thing happened again today, so I inquired about it. It turns out that he’s sick of watching it. I guess seeing each episode eight times will do that to you. I actually still think the show is funny, but I don’t watch it anywhere near as much as he does–I’ve probably only seen each episode six times a piece.
that rodent prognosticator
Punxsutawney Phil predicted another six weeks of winter today. Doesn’t he usually? Seeing that we haven’t even had six weeks of winter yet this year, it’s hard to complain about the forecast. I’m just glad we got through January. I hate that month. Not that February has that much going for it weather-wise, but at least the weather usually clears up by the end of the month.
