NO CHUBBS ON THE BED

Everyone always asks me if Chubbs gets to sleep in my bed. To which I quickly reply: 'no, no!' 

But he does get to sleep in his own bed on the floor right next to mine! :) As much as I love to cuddle with him, there's one good reason he's not allowed on the bed:

Where would I fit?!?


This picture was taken last night around 11:30pm. The boy gets all out of sorts when it thunders outside and last night it was storming really bad. I thought it would help him calm down if he could lay with me. Bad idea.


I mean, he LOVED it (as you can tell he's pleasantly fast asleep while I'm taking his pic). I on the other hand, not so much. After turning on the light I quickly realized why I couldn't sleep: I was scrunched up on the edge of my bed while Chubbs strategically placed himself smack in the middle. Last time I get suckered into that one! :)

FILL IN THE BLANKS FRIDAY

1. The first thing I do in the morning to start my day is brush my teeth and walk the dog .


2. Today I wish I was at home lounging on the front porch with Chubbs and a good book .


3. If I had an extra $100 in my bank account today I'd invest in some much-needed winter snow boots. I learned from last winter that tennis shoes just won't cut it.


4. Tomorrow I'm going hiking with the neighbs and our pups! So excited .


5. Two things that don't go together are me and meat .


6. Something I can never pass up at the grocery store is the specialty baking isle. Even if I know I don't need anything, I can't talk myself into passing it by .

7. The last time I tried something new was this morning: Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Spice coffee. Which might I add totally disppointed me. A few sips into it I thought it was strangely sweet for plain black coffee (thinking it's black coffee with pumpkin spices added before brewing). Come to find out from dunkindonuts.com, they actually just pump pumpkin syrup packed with sugar and high fructose corn syrup into plain black coffee. Sad story. So I ended up dumping the sad excuse for pumpkin coffee down the drain and brewing my same old tree hugger joe. Much better.

Happy Friday!
