Update

Hello, everyone. Sorry for the lack of posting around here lately. It's been a busy rest of the week. Thursday when I came home Nick was a bit sick, so we just kind of hung out.

Friday he decided to tackle some lawn chores. Unfortunately during the execution of said chores he nearly executed one of his fingers! He was trimming a bush by the porch with his electric hedge trimmer when the cord drifted into the path of the blade. He reached forward to swipe it away and got his finger caught! It was an awful cut - very, very deep, right down the end of his finger, through the nail and all. Being the manly man that he is, he couldn't be persuaded to go to the ER, but I did get my brother (a surgical tech) to come by and force him to stop doing the yard work!

Yesterday we went to the hospital to see my papaw, who seems to be doing pretty well, although he's still a bit confused and is having some speech difficulty. Afterwards we went to see The Simpson's Movie, which was pretty funny, although probably not worth the $23.00 it took for the three of us.

A few days ago I got up the courage to tell Nick I needed a spanking just because, although that hasn't happened yet. Of course with his injured finger he needs some time to recover, so I'm good with that.

We've both started on a weight loss plan, and I'm down about 8 pounds. This is one that worked well for both of us before - unfortunately we didn't really make a lifestyle change afterwards, so the weight came back on, but this time we'll be more prepared.

Last of all, Morgan got a new puppy today. A couple of months ago the dog we had disappeared. I have a sneaking suspicion that the neighbors took her, for reasons I won't go into here. Anyway, she's been absolutely heartbroken since, so when we came across a man giving puppies away for free today, we decided to take one. She's half black lab and half German shepherd, and she's the sweetest, most docile dog I've ever seen. Morgan is on top of the world.
