The dog days of summer.

(And yes, that’s Jeans’s little paw in the water!!  It was her first time swimming!!!!  We are so proud.)

Where the sun shines.

Also, two posts in one day!  Yay!  High five!  (Or high two?)

Happy “Holidays”

If someone had asked me three weeks ago what I’d be doing on December 22nd, my grunt in reply would’ve been: pajamas, couch, chips & movies.  I wanted to be on holidays two weeks ago.

Thankfully, I’m nearing the lit end of this dark tunnel and will be able to let ya’ll in on the surprise very, very soon.

Watching for my next move.

Jeans, running.

Last week, I was lucky enough to be shooting at our great friend Janna’s horse farm.  A beautiful place that’s all rolling hills and open fields and big sky.

And to see the joy on her dogs’ faces as they would run and run and run all over the place.  Leaping through tall grass, weeds whipping their faces.  Tongues flung and flying by the wayside.

.

Jeans doesn’t have many opportunities to experience such freedom.

Our yard isn’t properly fenced and we live on a busy street.  Our house is an old Victorian row house with intimate rooms and narrow hallways.  By the time she picks up any real speed, she has to put on the brakes.

.

There’s a school yard just a block from our place.  The sign on the fence reads no dogs allowed but we see dogs there sometimes.  I think it’s more about keeping the grass clean for the kids to roll around in.  Makes sense.

But today the field was empty and we both know how much she loves to run.

.

So.  We let her run.

Chihuahua meetup.

I haven’t been around much lately (bad dogmother, bad!) so as a little treat to Jeans, we brought her to our first Chihuahua meetup.

She was a bit shy at first (she takes after me) but she warmed up after a little while: got in a few sniffs, had a few treats, and even licked another dogmama’s leg (this is where she is not like me).

It was real fun, really cute and we can’t wait to do it again.

Scenes from a Mexican stand-off.

Coming up for air.

(Hi.)

I’ve been away a long time, I know.  But that doesn’t mean I didn’t think about you!

Work has been busy.  So busy.  Amazingly, wondrously busy!  But nonetheless.  Still busy.

Weekends, weekdays — I’ve lost the distinction.  Instead, these days are all shoot days and prep days and post days.  All I need now is coupla’ “catch my breath” days and then we’re all good!

.

In the meantime, here are some little life snippets from the last (yikes) 10+ days:

Husbo made pork tenderloin.  Rendered duck fat and dried cranberries were involved.  It was yum.

.

Jeans and I went to visit Husbo on-set.  Here’s Jeans, scanning the perimeter of his trailer.  (She’s such a good little guard dog!)

.

Wvrst had it’s soft opening, too!  Here’s our niece, shocked that her zio’s beer mug was bigger than her head.

.

Just when you thought you couldn’t fit anymore big events into one week, our nephew had his confirmation.  Looking at him here, one can almost see the man he is becoming.

.

And then there were the fireworks.

I love fireworks.

Week-end round-up!

Apologies for the radio silence: this week has been busy!  Mostly lotsa work with itty bits o’ fun sprinkled in.

Here’s some snaps of the fun:

Husbo tried his hand at baking cookies.  For the first time ever.  And they didn’t burn!!  There is nothing he can’t do.

While I, the proud baker of hockey pucks, slunk away in shame and ate more than my share.

.

Coupla’ days later, Husbo went to an audition while I ran errands.  We rendezvous-ed downtown and did some shopping for our niece who will be turning 9 soon.  We stopped in at a guitar shop where Husbo got to play around for a little bit.

We didn’t get anything but the next time I’ve got 12 grand burnin’ a hole in my pocket, I know what I’m going to get him.

.

Jeans, on the other hand, can’t play guitar or bake cookies.

She does, however, love them squirrels.  Those things have her mes-mer-iiiized!

.

Me, I have the rather dull and boring pastime of looking up at trees.  I can do that all day long!  Might have something to do with having my head in the clouds most of the time but let’s not point fingers.

Jeans, loving her new patch of sun.

(I love how squinty-eyed she is here!  Made me want to get her a pair of these.)

(But the husbo said no.)
