The Thorn

Poor little Griffin...he got a thorn stuck in the pad of his foot yesterday. I noticed him limping and inspected and found the prickly little thing. We got the tweezers, and thought it would be an easy thing to get out. WRONG!! First of all, my little 11 pound dog is STRONG. And can be very VICIOUS!! We tried to hold him down, but he squirmed, and yiped, and bit, so we thought we try again later. So, he calmed down, and Hugh SAT on Griffin (not "squished" sat, just "hold him down" sat) and had to hold his poor little head down so he would bite me as I started to operate!! I couldn't believe the strength in his little leg as I tried to pry it from the clasp he had around Hugh's arm!!! He was NOT going to let me have his leg!! He eventually submitted, and after about 10 minutes, we finally got it out. It was small, but he is small, so it seemed bigger. And it was in there good! Hugh was the first one who wanted to hold Griffin afterwards because Hugh felt like the big meanie. I'm pretty sure Griffin has forgiven us now. Poor little guy.....

Present from Molly

Look at this adorable present from Molly! It's a square plate, and she painted the middle with chalkboard paint! Isn't it cute??? Thanks Molly!



My Birthday

I've had a great couple of days. Turning 39 wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, and I'm actually looking forward to turning 40. (My goal is to kick my butt into HIGH GEAR so I can look and feel better at 40 than I did in my 30's, or even 20's. I'm thinking of adding Yoga or Pilates into my work out routine but don't tell that to Hugh or he may hold me to it!! Anyway, I think I received more birthday wishes this year than I ever had before due to the wonderful invention of Facebook!!!! It was awesome! I also received a phone call from Barton, which absolutely made my day. It was so incredible to hear his voice, and to know that he is healing. (Sidenote: he'll be in NYC for a few more weeks, and then will go home to St. George for rehab.) I also receive my annual phone call from Mrs. Fitz (otherwise known as Tracy) and her adorable second graders as they sang my favorite rendition of Happy Birthday - cha cha chas included! I look forward to it every year!! Amy took me for a facial yesterday, which was FABULOUS! And then last night, we went out to dinner with The Howes & The Ashtons. Great time with great friends. I actually was laughing so hard I caused a spasm and I started to cough, and pretty much haven't stopped since. That's thanks to Molly's story involving drowning and pooping. Don't ask. Tonight is a UFC fight, which you all know is a FAVE of mine!!
So, it's turned out to be a pretty great couple of days!!
Look out 40! Here I come!!!
Hugh & I
Loren & Wendy
Andy & Molly
Three HOT Babes!!
