It Payzee to be Layzee

Mark the date and time, y'all, because for the first time in as long as I can remember, it's a Monday and I'm absolutely ready to take on this week! 

We're talkin' I'm about to own these next five days like J.Lo owned her thighs last night. Come at me, baby, I'm wearin' my power suit! 

{And by power suit, I obviously mean leggings and an oversized sweater. I'm never that energetic.}

I'm thinking my take-on-the-world 'tude is due to the R&R I got to enjoy this weekend with my two favorite little lovenuggets.

Why yes, there is a picture of my dog child in most of my blog posts.
You won't find me apologizin' ~ that's cuteness at its finest, people.

This is how we weekend:

1. Our weekends start with playtime, always always always. Please, like I could deny that precious little face.

2. My sweet friend Ashley sent me these adorable earrings, just because! Have I mentioned that I love her? And them, too ~ are they chevron? Aztec-ish? Prettaaaay? YES.

3. We went to the mall {on a Saturday... clearly I don't value my life} and I was reminded for the 3,067th time why I loathe the Apple store. Love the products, but also love online ordering, mmkaythanks.

4. Summer needs to be here, like, yesterday. My blackberry sangria didn't speed its arrival, but it helped me forget it's still 40ish degrees outside!

5. Ahi tuna. Do I even need to explain this obsession?

6. We're still working on the whole "You're in timeout for being a big ol' sassy brat, stay on your place" thing with Hollybug. Think she's getting it?  And don't worry, it's not that she's too big for the bed, it just looks that way. She fits on it perfectly, when she wants to.

7. {Yes, Glenn texts me from the upstairs of our house. Let's not dwell on that.} 

Leave it to Animal Planet to remind me that one shedding creature in my house definitely isn't enough. Here's a tip: Don't watch their special "Too Cute," about all species of cuddly little nuggets. 

On a positive, it's quite educational. Things I learned:

* Mini pigs require a covering of mud or sunscreen if they're gonna be outside in the elements. Sometimes they hate sunscreen time and squeal and it's Too Cute, indeed.

* Lop rabbits give themselves little self-cleansing facials. And their ears flop so damn much in the process that I'm still cleaning up my melted heart off the floor.

* Robin was brilliant for getting a hedgehog. They're the cutest animals on this entire planet. {Besides puppy Buggins... she was a freaking doll baby.}

8. My grocery store had a sale on the best cookies in existence. Damnit, Harris Teeter, now I actually have to use the elliptical we bought last year.

9. Healthy black bean burgers/patties/delicious things. Recipe to come later this week!
