Home Alone

Well it is just me and Mavrick this weekend, Home Alone. The girls headed off to Tennessee for the annual Winterfest Youth Rally in Gaitlinburg. So pup and I have just been hanging out.  Not really accomplishing much at all either.  I have been working on a few rendering and a few new models for potential projects. Other than that, I have just been roaming the house looking for snack food.....there is none! My wife did a good job of keeping the fatty foods away from me.

Truly bored though. There is only so much old television, rendering, and wandering a person can do. Funny, the house used to be a thriving bustle of noise but now the noise of kids just comes from the neighborhood kids playing out in the evening on probably one of the last warm days before the snow hits.

So Mavrick and I watch some TV, eat some.....so called food and SLEEP.  Mavrick sleeps alot....and takes up too much room on the bed.  He sprawls out everywhere.  I rolled over on my side last night on the edge of the bed and he rolled up right against me.  I could even roll back.  He was dead. I had to drag him by his paws to move him over.  Funny dog.  The rest of the time he stole my wife's spot.  I guess he misses her too.

Sleeping in Mom's spot

This is one of those weekends where I really could have got some things accomplished but I already knew I was going to be swamped with work next week.  I have four jobsites that I need to field measure and one of them is in Raleigh. I will be wiped out I am sure.  So, I am taking my rest time now. I could have played a little bit of XBox Kinects but wasn't really into it.  I could have played a bit of Sim City....I did...just a bit. I love that game. I could have exercised.....really? I know I should.  I will run today...I promise! Other than that, I plan on being lazy.

Taking a nap on the fancy pillow

The girls will be home tonight so I will need to make sure I clean up a few things.  I didn't make much of a mess or dirty any dishes...... (Mavrick cleaned the dishes for me)....Maybe I can make a nice treat for them when they get back as a surprise. A snack treat or something since I am not sure when they will get in exactly.......I guess that means I will have to go to the dreaded grocery store otherwise the only thing I could probably make is a dry sandwich or salsa favored popcorn.  By the way, why do we have so much salsa in this house but nothing to put it on? Take care my friends.  I believe I should be rescued from this solitude and saved from having to survive on Triskets and Laughing Cow Cheese. Don't worry, I wont let the girls know we missed them.....we will play it up like it was the best guy's weekend ever! Take care my friends....Stay lonely....NOT!

I Want your Soda Bottle

I have been wanting to write about our pup, MAVRICK. Yes, I spelled it correctly, my daughter named him and spelled it that way. And......we adopted him. It is a crazy long story and I wont go into all that now but he has become our next child.  I cant say that a dog is cheeper either.  We speed way too much on grooming, dog treats, dog toys......and replacing everything he eats. Eyeglasses, iPhone cables, sunglasses, reading glasses (can you tell that he likes glasses), leather shoes, leather belts, corner of the cabinet, table leg on dining room table...and on and on.

But today we are not going to talk about that, I am going to share a few photos of MAVRICK begging for my soda bottle.  That seems to be one of his favorite toys.  He used to wait until we were done and then he would grab it.  Now he doesn't even want to wait.....He begs to have it RIGHT AWAY. This afternoon I was sitting on the bed watching some television after lunch and finishing off my soda. 

Apparently I wasn't drinking it fast enough.

He has pawed at my bottle, stretching to get it away from me. And then looks at me like I am being so cruel that he cannot have it. He is a best....but a cute one.

He says, pleaseeeee. I really need it!
