This is basically a love note to my glasses, pants and family.

This really has been the best week! Thanks to my wonderful husband and amazing dad I got myself a brand spankin' new pair of glasses. A couple weeks after we got little Jynxie, he headbutted me and cracked my frames and we've been too lazy or forgetful to start the process of getting new ones, I've been getting by wearing Kev's glasses which correct my vision just enough that I can make out the lines on the road when driving...so yep, good thing I've had the best little chauffeur ever. Anyway, bringing my story to the point, my glasses are super sweet.

Oooh, I also altered myself what I like to call the worlds most comfortable jeans in existence. Living in Washington, no one has seen my sweet little wifely "cuddle cushion". It consists of a little belly and a whole lotta love handles. Kev and I are trying to make every cent count towards the move back to Utah so we haven't had the funds for me to get bigger pants. Its gotten to the point where I look like a banana that's being squeezed on one end causing me to squish out of my peel. So I took a pair of jeans I've had since high school that had a rip under one of the butt cheeks and a rip in the thigh and with my super crafty altering skill I cut a rip in under the other cheek and cut four lines on the waist band to allow for the tummy. Of course I have to wear leggings or something under them to keep people from seeing my *cough*...business but fashion will suffer so that comfort can thrive.

On top of having 20/20 vision and being able to breath when I do up my button, Jynx has made this week extra special. We took him to the vet and he now weight 10.5 lbs and he has one more vaccination, then he's done for a year! He's a happy, healthy and well adjusted pup. For a few weeks we hit a training block where we couldn't get him to learn anything new or repeat tricks and behaviors he'd previously mastered (including but not limited to house training). As you can imagine we were at our wits end and Jynx was headed for the shredder when I suddenly remembered that there's a library down the street and they'd probably have books on training. After reading a couple of books, purchasing a clicker and implementing a few changes in our training style, Jynx has been wildly successful! He learned a couple tricks in a matter of hours. My favorite....

He learned to play dead after being "shot"!
