Now Open: Lauren's Barber Shop

This is just a smattering of my many talents with a razor...now taking appointments.

Lost Generation

Katie sent me this video. I thought it was pretty creative and worth sharing:

A visit to Petland.

Joe and I took a trip to Petland today just to look at the dogs. It potentially could have been a bad trip...they had a puggle for sale and it was adorable! It was very tiny and playful - we had to run out of the store before we bought it right then and there. As of now, we are leaning towards getting a puggle (thanks Nicole for you persuasive comment). However, we would prefer to get the puppy from a breeder so that we know it isn't a mill puppy. There is a good chance there would be a new addition to the Patrick family this spring...

Should we get a puppy?

Joe and I have been thinking about getting a dog since the Fall. We thought it would be best to at least wait until the Spring. This way we would have really thought about it and wouldn't be taking on such a responsibility on a whim.

However, we are still up in the air about it. We love the idea but don't know if we want to be tied down quite yet. We usually work from home so at least we would be there to take him out and play with him occasionally. But, when we do work a long day away from home, I wouldn't feel right about leaving him in a crate or home alone. Thoughts? (Or just vote in the poll to the right).If we were to get a puppy though, it would be a puggle (pug x beagle). Pretty cute!

May the force be with you.

We finished watching the last movie of Star Wars this evening. Joe couldn't believe he had married me without me having seen any of the series. So, over the past few weeks we watched IV, V and VI then knocked out I, II and III. I enjoyed them - especially seeing them in that order.

Superbowl Champs!

In a very exciting game, the Steelers came out victorious! Joe and I had a small get together at our house (it was initially supposed to be a surprise for Joe, but he found out). About 10 of us watched the game and then went down to the South Side to celebrate with the rest of Pittsburgh. It was fun to see so many people wearing black & gold as they gathered on Carson Street to cheer.

Joe turns 23!

Today is Joe's birthday - I surprised him with a waffle maker this morning and we used it right away! It made some delicious Belgian waffles so I'm sure this new machine will get use at least once a week. The ultimate birthday gift for Joe would be for the Steelers to win tonight.
