Week of Work

This week had been looming on the calendar for some time. The first week of summer and therefore a perfect opportunity to complete all kinds of projects around the house before things got too hectic. You know...things like resealing the tile floors, shampooing the carpets (important now that we are house-training a dog), repainting the shed in the backyard, cleaning out dead bugs and dirt between the windows and the screens. We had affectionately dubbed this week, "The Week of Work."

Well, it's Sunday night and I can officially say that none of those projects have been completed. Not that we didn't do anything...the house really is cleaner than it has been in quite a while, we have a new garage door (okay we didn't do that ourselves but I did write a check to the guy who did the actual work), Bryan and I both went to the dentist and got haircuts, and Adi started intermediate class. She has a fancy new harness to keep her from pulling so much when we walk her on the leash. Harness might not be the best word. There are so many pieces to that thing that it is next to impossible to put on her. You do not even attempt it unless you are willing to have her knaw on your hands and arms and even then it takes about 3 tries. Today I even had to put her in her kennel for a "time out" in the middle. I still didn't get the thing on properly because the collar snapped open the second we got out into the yard...we came right back in the house since I was too tired to have to chase her around the neighborhood if and when she escaped. Needless to say, I'll be asking for help with that when we go back to class this week. I know, I know...you want to see pictures of me putting her in the harness. Maybe next time.

I did however manage to catch some of the French Open this week...I'll admit that I'm not a huge Federer fan but it was pretty cool to see him win the Career Grand Slam. We also got sucked into "I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here". Rather we got sucked into the Speidi drama on the show.
