Things I Never Said Before We Had a Dog

I have noticed lately that I speak to our 1 year old Dachshund as if he can understand exactly what I am saying. I tend to ask a lot of ridiculous questions. I think this is just a sample of what it is going to be like when darling husband and I have kids. I wanted to share a few of my best questions and ridiculous statements from the last few days with you because frankly, I'm crazy and I think it's funny. :)

"Stop eating the toilet paper!"

"Did you steal my sock? Is it under the bed or under the couch? Or the table? Is it under the table?"(spoken while crawling around on my hands and knees in my work uniform)

"You can't have any of my banana because you already had too much cheese today, plus all that grass."

"Did you pee? DID you PEE?! YAYYYYY!!!" (this one was at the top of my lungs after we got back from a very long, annoying walk)

"No thank you! Private time!" (said while in the restroom and Archie was scratching at the door to get in)

And from my lovely husband...
"You're my favorite little poopface, you know that?" 

It's That TIme Again!

Time for New Year's Resolutions! I did pretty well last year with my goals, but this year I want to step it up. My husband has decided to lose weight this year as part of his resolution so it will be much easier for me to stay on track. We also ordered a recumbent exercise bike yesterday afternoon and we will be getting a puppy in 2 weeks! How's that for motivation to get up and move?

My Resolutions: 2013
- Lose 30 pounds by June 4th. I know I did this exact resolution last year, but I want to do it again! I ended up losing and keeping off a total of 23 pounds last year and it feels so great that I want to continue!
-Grow my photography business. I love what I do and I want it to become my full time job in 2013! I will be booking family, engagement, and infant sessions this year as well as working as an assistant photographer on some weddings.
-Read 25 books. Again, this is a repeat from last year. I found that reading really is one of the best ways for me to unwind and it helps to spark my creativity, so I'm doing it again. And yes, last year I DID read 25 books :)

A Little Randomness

I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to blog about today so I decided that a few random, funny facts would be in order. Everyone can stand a little bit of useless information once in a while! Enjoy!

Things I Learned Today That I Didn't Really Need to Know
