What a good weekend!

Watson passed his 'Obedience 1' class at Zoom Room! Yes, he still has more obedience classes to go to, but we're so  proud of him. He even got to visit the dog park and make some doggie friends.

Al made some delicious stir-fry shrimp and I made a raisin-topped bread pudding with a yummy brandy sauce. Both were our first attempts and came out very well.
 

Painting with a twist

I love art and have always wanted to try one of the Paintnite classes. It's where you learn how to paint a wonderful picture but it's laid back and you can drink and chat with your friends. I finally got a few people from work to go and we selected this one, Gnarled tree at El Ceviche grill. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I knew that they show you how to paint step by step, so I couldn't really goof it up. The tasty margarita also helped! Everyone's paintings came out great and even though, we all painted the same thing, they all looked unique in their own way. All in all, we had a great time and here's my finished product.

My tree topped off with a 'Corona sign'

Baby Animals

Watson as a puppy maybe?

Since we adopted Watson as an adult dog, we always wonder what he would have looked like if we got him as a puppy. I'm
sure he would have been super cute because I have been around new born boxer puppies (parents' dog) who are uber-adorable. So I googled images to see if any of them would match up and here is my best guess .

My parents' boxer's pups... just a week old

This then led me to google several baby animals pictures and I had to share this site. It's perfect for when you want to keep saying  'Awwwwww' and actually contemplate hugging a bear or tiger. It also reminds me that I would love to have a hedgehog as a pet and that I've got to play with a little duckling, that we found lost at the pool. 

Some more shoe love

I got this in my inbox this morning from DSW and had to share. I LOVE the peacock fabric and the ankle strap is a great reinforcement for the super high heel.
