Random Tuesday

A lot and not a lot has been going on lately so I really was at a loss and then it hit me. Ramble! Random! And maybe a list or two. And pictures. Lots of random pictures.

1. Our deck. It’s bigger than your deck. You can just eyeball it and tell. There is no need to get out a measuring tape. Seriously. And it’s awesome.

Fancy Furniture

Next up will be furniture for the deck, but finding something we both like AND can afford…well, it’ll be awhile before the two match up, I think. Turns out we have expensive taste in furniture. Maybe we should petition IKEA to make outdoor furniture.

It Goes on for Days!

I can’t wait to get a table and chairs out here. Al fresco dining! And I’m thinking about getting something along the line of these for the dogs as well so they’ll have their own place outside. Because that big dog bed that’s out there? They won’t share it. Well, they’ll share it… Just not at the same time. Especially if a treat is involved. And probably one of the cat condos will go outside too. Once we put a latch on the door to keep the animals from getting out on their own, the cats will be allowed on the deck again. They love sunning out there. The dogs are easy to bribe with treats and petting and they stay nearby.

2. I saw these in the yard the other day and they made me smile. And think of the Smurf cartoons of my youth. And then I wondered if maybe tiny smurfy gnomes might live in my yard.

And then I thought about Neil Patrick Harris and how awesome he is. And then I thought he probably doesn’t sleep anymore what with the babies and all. And that all that lack of sleep is seriously compromising his judgment and that’s how he ended up doing that Smurfs movie. Because I think if he’d had enough sleep, he’d realize that making that movie was NOT a good idea. And no, I’m not going to watch it. I’ve already passed judgement. Did NO ONE learn from the Garfield movie fiasco? Honestly…

3. This past weekend was girls’ weekend, aka DOCTOR WHO CAME BACK ON!!! And Regan and Melissa came over and we had a really awesome time drinking daiquiris and eating expensive pizza and sugar coma inducing cupcakes. There was also a lot of scrabble playing. Just, on our phones instead of on a board. And the only picture I took all weekend was this one. And yet, it kind of sums up the whole weekend perfectly.
