Cloudee

Published by

So we said we weren’t going to foster anymore – mostly because we rent and the pet portion of our lease says 2 is the limit – but also because the two pups are a handful as it is. And they aren’t very social… we really need to work on their socialization skills. But after looking at Cloudee’s little pup face it was hard to do anything except say, “we’ll take him!” So we did. And it was wonderful. Finn and Zoe weren’t sure what to do with him at first. Finn would just run away scared and Zoe just kept sniffing him like she couldn’t figure out what he was. They finally warmed up to him the day before I dropped him off with his forever family – it was adorable. Zoe was really sweet and gentle when she started to play with him, and whenever Finn would start to play too rough, Zoe would intervene. Too cute. I think they really liked their little friend. Cloudee was only with us for about 6 …

Pharmacy Week and Depakote Cupcakes

Published by

Happy Pharmacy Week! Ok, so technically it’s Hospital and Health-System Pharmacy Week… but it’s close enough! And make sure to thank and/or hug a pharmacy technician tomorrow because it’s Pharmacy Technician Appreciation Day! I feel lucky to say I have amazing techs! Definitely couldn’t do it without them. I ordered a cake and cupcakes from Honeycakes for tomorrow… super excited about how they came out! Plus, I’ve been smelling them all evening (that’s not weird, right?) and they smell like a heavenly night of sleep feels (aka aaaamazing). The cake is chocolate hazelnut and the cupcakes are vanilla chai. Danny smelled the cupcakes and thought they smelled terrible, like “Depakote” he says… I think he’s insane, as per usual. I can’t wait to eat my Depakote cupcakes. BTW the Honeycakes ladies are big supporters of BDAR + they make delicious things = they are basically winning in my book!

Getting ready for October

Published by

Okay, so maybe it’s not technically October yet. But I’m definitely already getting into the Halloween spirit. Especially because I am making Seven Dwarfs costumes for myself and 6 of my co-workers. I’m 2 down right now… only 5 to go! Plus the shoes and belts (we are determined to win the clinic’s Halloween contest this year) :). But, today, I decided to take a break from the costumes and start getting ready for my own Halloween. I’m slowly collecting holiday decorations of my own, but I really don’t have much. So, I decided to put just about everything I have together this year to deck out my entry table. Here’s what I came up with: Then, I took inspiration from here and here to make a Halloween pillow cover (Sewing Project #9): The ribbon isn’t exactly straight… I didn’t feel like putting in the additional effort that would have required… but I’m still pretty happy with how it turned out. And it cost next to nothing (maybe a dollar, if that… I used a …

Birthdays and PJ Pants

Published by

Happy Birthday to two of my favorite people in the whole wide world! Bethany yesterday and Danny tomorrow! Bethany is finally old with me… and Danny is basically ancient… he’s turning the big 3-0! :) We were supposed to go down to Ft Collins yesterday for a cooking class… but this rain has been so insane the past few days… the highway was closed! Of course we didn’t look before we left, thinking for sure it would be open (yesterday morning was actually sunny for a while), but then we reached the flashing lights and barricade and had to turn around :/ Then we had plans to go to dinner with my pharmacy people (the guys were planning a shrimp-eating contest at Red Lobster)… but the weather killed that too. And of course we didn’t realize that one until we got there either. We walked in, said what party we were looking for… the girl wasn’t sure so we walked around to find them… once we didn’t find them I checked my phone… sure enough, …
