Tonight — I am celebrating.
I am busting out all the stops.
For starters, it’s Friday — which I really needed.. because you know, the two snow days weren’t enough.
My pupster went from a pathetic, lifeless baby…
to a happy, energetic boy in a mere 18 hours.
The Husband brought him back to the vet this morning and after another x-ray, the vet said his intestinal swelling was going down and the foreign object had made progress towards… the other end (if ya know what I mean).
I got the best text message of my life at 10 AM this morning. I believe the Husband’s exact words were: “He sh*t.”
We’re classy around here — and we rejoice when socks come out the other end.
You would too if it meant your bank account was salvaged as a result.
Did I also mention the Husband? He’s back home after 60 hours of snow plowing. Another reason why I’m celebrating this evening. The times I did see him I almost felt like I was dreaming because I was half in and out of sleep in the middle of the night. He was there — but then gone again when I woke up. It got pretty quiet around here when I didn’t have anyone to nag for the last three days.
Oh, and my front walk is finally shoveled — our poor mailman probably didn’t like us too much the past few days.
See? We have so much to be celebrating tonight. Which is why I pulled out a celebratory dinner.
Giant salad topped with tofu and my weight in roasted veggies.
You don’t celebrate with meals like this?
I’m starting to think you all are really strange.
Question: What are you celebrating today?

This reminded me of the tv show called “My Dog Ate What?!” If you haven’t seen it, its quite funny/shocking! I always wind up feeling bad for the poor animals! Enjoy your celebrating and your weekend!
I burst out laughing so hard when I read the text message your husband sent you, hahaha!

I’m celebrating that my husband is back from a week in Vancouver, and I get to sleep again(being a full time mum to twin babies is fun and exhausting).
Oh my gosh - I dn’t know how you took care of those babies by yourself for a week!
So glad that your pup is well and that your hubby is not working as much! Your salads look great!
I so celebrate like that. I’ll come over for a party at your house any day.
Glad the pupster is better and the wallet is saved. I was worried for your grocery budget for a minute there.
I was worried about my groceries too - is that bad?
That’s fantastic news! Yay for the poop…er, I mean pup! Haha!
Love the celebratory dinner! My salads are always huge! Go big or go home, right! I’m just celebrating the fact that I had today off, so even though it FEELS like tomorrow is Sunday…it’s not! Yay!
Yay for the day off of work!
I am celebrating getting the high score on a test I didn’t entirely study for…
And of course the fact that it’s the weekend
roasted veggies are totally the best wayt o celebrate! anyone who disagrees is a loser.
Yay that your dog is better! That text message had me laughing
I’m celebrating the fact that…I raised my physics grade to a B for last semester today. And NOW begins the new semester! wahoo!
Great job!!! Physics was fun (only because I had an awesome teacher) but I HATE chemistry!
awww, glad Charlie is doing okay!!
I am so glad to hear Charlie is doing better!! I thought about him a couple times yesterday, actually
The husband must be so relieved to be able to sleep for more than an hour or two now, no?
Thanks for keepin Charlie in your head
That makes me feel loved. He did enjoy sleeping, although I went to bed before him. Pathetic.
im glad hes feeling better!! … hmm today (well, yesterday) i celebrated my DELICIOUS dinner and i just ate the leftover chickpea gravy in my lunch!
YAY SO glad Charlie’s better and that your hubbie’s back home! Definitely reasons to celebrate, and it looks like you’re doing it in style! Throw in some cookies and you’ve got the perfect celebration!
I may or may not have thrown a Chocolate Banana Oatmeal Cookie into my oats this morning - don’t judge.
Aww yay that must feel so good to have the whole family home in one piece! I’m so glad that Charlie is doing so much better.
Yesterday I celebrated being done with another midterm. Annnnd today I get to start studying for my next one.
Im sorry to hear Charlie was sick but SO glad he is better! U are right doggie surgery would of been alot of money and plus no fun for Charlie : p
Glad he is all better and yay for a salad stuffed with veggies and tofu! yummy!
Glad to hear the pup is ok.
Saved you a lot of money!!! Oh pets, you gotta love them.
So glad hes feeling better!! The celebratory dinner looks awesome
Aww, glad he feels better!!!
Got a quick question - how much money do you usually spend on your dog each month? I’m seriously thinking about getting one when I move to Orlando, but I want to budget him in first to make sure I can handle it!
That’s hard to say - we just got him in December, and the first few months have been pretty expensive (ie: adoption fees, first vaccinations, he had worms and needed antibiotics, and now this whole debacle with the socks) and we’ve probably spent close to $1000 on him. If he wasn’t such a nut, I’m sure it would be less.
YAY FOR CHARLIE:) That salad looks amazing! I am celebrating NO WORK TODAY!! Have a great one gorgeous girl:)
I love the weekends too!
You have a great day too!
Glad your dog is feeling better! Is he a pit bull? My dog Lola is part pit bull and she is the sweetest thing ever! Your celebratory dinner sounds pretty good to me
He is a Pit Bull Terrier Mix - he is such a sweet thing. I think Pitbulls get such bad reps. Charlie loves EVERYONE!!!
Oh I’d absolutely celebrate like that. If you ever need someone to celebrate with, hit me up.
My dog used to eat socks and then poop them out in the back yard….my mom would find them, wash them twice, then make us wear them again. I wish I was kidding.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!! The Husband definitely threw that baby out.
Perfect celebration meal if you ask me!!! And did you ever think you’d be thrilled to receive a text like that?!
I’m so glad the little puppy is okay!!
I can’t believe Charlie ate a sock and actually managed to digest it.. well.. kind of. It amazes me that it somehow came out the other end!
My old dog passed many many things - socks, underwear, a pajama belt - and he was 15 pounds!
wow, he ate a sock! that’s crazy, i’m really glad he’s okay now….he’s too cute!! i celebrate by dancing….crazy!!
He ate 3!!!
I’m celebrating Date Night tonight and celebrating that the dog didn’t dig a hole in our backyard so the fiance was happy when he got home
I am so glad your pup is feeling better and your hubby is home
