Five on Friday

Found them both curled up on the bed when I got home this week. Awww ♥

Billy Baldwin and William Stallworth: Everyone eventually develops nicknames for their pets. These are Billy's. It is normal for a greyhound to reveal a strange and unexplained balding pattern on their butt cheeks and the backs of their thighs. (I will save him the embarrassment of posting a picture of his butt....) Hence, Billy Baldwin. What is NOT explained anywhere is the random stalling when walking. This stalling usually takes place in the most inconvenient time...being swarmed by mosquitoes, or getting stuck in the rain for example. William Stallworth.

Make new friends but keep the old: Had dinner this week with five old friends. It was so heartwarming to sit with these girls, reminisce and learn about their new lives. I cannot wait for the next one!

Weekend with the Bug: Started off this weekend with a nail-biting game of Mystery Date. When is the last time you played this game? On the agenda this weekend? Museum of Science and Industry, water park, Build a Bear, friendship bracelets, crafts...recap next week.

Work front. Hosted 24 business professionals in our city studio this week for a working breakfast. The presentation included an informational talk about the iPad in the home by Grand Home Automation. It was a wake up call to see that you can monitor your energy usage from the iPad, and save 10-15% in energy savings just be becoming more aware.

Magic Bullet. I just love this thing. Made my own ketchup this week (Thanks, Jenny McCarthy, I know you are reading this!). Made smoothies and fluffy french toast batter, also. Delish. I'm going to try spice blends and soup this week!
