Stayin’ alive
Many bloggers will go outside and take lovely pictures of foliage or flowers for their posts.

Talking Shiba
For those of you who have also been missing your daily dose of Vies, here ya go: Ash and her hubby put that video up last night- the Pilot and I were cracking up watching it. They’ve taught Vies so many cool tricks. Over Easter, they filled Easter eggs with treats, hid them, and taught…

Quitting the gym
It’s a gorgeous day over here <3 I’m still wondering if we’ll ever get a real winter. If not, fine by me… Last night’s baby meal (and cake!!!) were fantastic… Kyle and Meg came over to enjoy the goods with us, and the shrimp curry was incredible. Giant chunks of potatoes and jalapenos- I’ll have…
