in case you had any doubts...

DISCLAIMER: This post probably won't be interesting to anyone except me... just sayin'

I'm obsessed with my dog Bondi. He comes to work with me, and he sit's like a little man in the front seat of my car just about every where I go, he is my perfect little spoon in the evenings, and when it comes to social events, if I can take him, he's coming!! And you never know unless you ask...

Speaking of, did you know you can bring your dog into any Nordstom or Macy's??? It's kinda inconvenient if you're trying lots of stuff on.. especially because Bondi has this bad habit of sticking his nose into other people's changing room stalls.. I imagine that could be somewhat alarming to the unsuspecting nakey person! But for the most part, we just make lots of friends, and sometimes convert dog-scared people to Bondi fans.. that's my favorite!!

Anywayyy... In case you had any doubts that I'm a crazy dog lady "dog person" let me just say... it's true. And I can prove it. Here is a sampling of January from my camera:


Bondi with his beloved bear.


Bondi with Mr. Giraffe and mommy.


Bondi snuggling with *lucky me*


Joe and Bondi... on a walk along Elliott Bay.


New Year's kiss. Had to throw it in there :-)
No, Bondi was not with us, but he did join us later!


Can you tell he's not a fan of his new sweater?
Found it at Value Village for $3.95 (so random) - score!

New Years - Bondi and I playing Up the River, Down the River.
Bondi was concentrating cause he hates to drink beer.


My sexy boys, chillin' on New Years Day.
Love.LOVE this pic of Joe :-)


More Up the River, Down the River and Catch Phrase..

Cheap drinks, tater tots, pin ball, a photo booth, and *dog-friendly*
Doesn't get much better than that!


Gangsta dress up.
Bondi is such a tolerant little spoon :-)


Love this guy.


Joe and I - clearly enamored with Bondi...

Bondi's eyes match my shirt!


We like other dogs too. Meet Cooper! ..and Teia... :-)


Precious. Just sayin...

I don't know where I get it from! :-)

better late than never.

OK. Here is a review of my last three weeks (yes - I know this is ridiculous) that I haven't yet blogged about.. but (mostly) in pictures. Minus the crazy airplane lady story... which I WILL DO SOON. Really, I will.

Anyway, without further ado.... in chronological order, dating back to before Thanksgiving!!!

Weekly Wednesday Trivia... we have yet to win, but damn... we have a good time!




Thanksgiving at my folks house. Joe and my orphaned friend Zach came, and my mom cooked for 21 people!!!!


Pre-Thanksgiving chaos (aka when the rest of the fam showed up)
Joe and I enjoying some red wine...


My aunt Terry (left) and my mom (right) shared the chef duties...
You know they say about too many cooks in the kitchen!!!


My amazing grandparents Leo and Marge.
I know it's weird, but that's what we've always called them.
... Not grandpa, grandma, or anything like that...


Just sister Kenzie drinkin some white wine in the sink.
Totally normal at our house :-)


After the extended family leaves...
Thanksgiving turns into Karaoke Jam Fest 2000.
Here's Joe and Zach looking for songs/singing along.

Thanksgiving Weekend... it's Off to Idaho!!! Joe's folks live in Couer d'Alene, Idaho so we drive out there often for some pretty wonderful weekends. 
 

Joe's folks and us at a local bar for a "night cap" as it's called.


Bondi and me in the cabin of Joe's folks' fishing boat.
Yes, Bondi comes with us!! 


We went on a cruise on the lake.
Here's some of the Christmas lights we saw..
..my camera doesn't do them justice!!

Trade Show for Sutherlands in Kansas City... my mom and I went to sell some bad-ass mailboxes :-)


Here's our Mail Boss display in "Pallet Alley"
BTW Kansas City is cold and windy. BRRrrr!!!

My Birthday Party at the Tulalip Casino!!! ...or as Joe calls it, "Vegas's home-schooled half-sister that's living with creepy uncle in the woods of North Seattle." We rented out two totally posh (shocking- I know!) rooms at the Tulalip Resort, stocked them with adult beverages, invited some close friends, and had a grand ol' time!!!! BTW they have an amazing pool that we definitely took advantage of... and although there are no pics to prove it (no cameras at the tables- duh!) we definitely gambled our little booties off!!! I won't say how much I did or did not win...


Jen and I... a little pre-game action in the hotel room.


Stay classy!! Oh yes, we will :-)
...and thanks to Joe for being so resourceful with this...


Apples to Apples. 'nuff said.


We had a pool party, oh yes we did!


We also had a hot-tub party. 
Lil' awkward thanks to all the irresponsible parents lil' kids 
overhearing and witnessing inappropriate stuff... 
...and probably peeing too!!! Anywayyy...


Sister Kenzie tells Joe she loves him (for me) 
over poolside Apples to Apples :-)


Late (like 4PM!!!) Checkout = AWESOME!
This meant Mimosas, CatchPhrase & the Hawks game...
...plus more time to Gamble!! 
Yes.. I am wearing BOXERS with cards and dice on them.
Yes.. I wore them in the casino, with UGGs & my bday hat.
Nobody even gave me a second look :-)

Anyway... this pretty much brings y'all up to this weekend... which I will try to post about before Christmas!!
