A house isn’t our home until it has a door destroyed by Emmett.
That’s how the saying goes, right?
That’s how I remember it, anyway.
So, yeah. Emmett locked himself in the freshly-painted bathroom and decided to dig his way out. He made it halfway.
Ahem.
Anyway, it’s Thanksgiving week! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I just love it, and this year–for the first time ever–we’re hosting. Should be fun. I think. Probably. (Cooper, please, please, pretty please don’t spend the whole evening singling out one person to bark at until they get upset and leave… please… no repeats of the Fourth, ‘k?)
And THEN!
May I have a drumroll, please?
Friday launches the annual holiday gift guide and giveaway extravaganza! Yippee!
Because of all the craziness that’s been going on, this year it’s pared way down: three days instead of seven and a list of gifts that are truly my most favorite things. I’m super, crazy, over-the-moon excited about this year’s showstopper. I don’t want to give it away, but some hints can’t hurt, right? Every pet-loving home needs one. Of the three brands I tested, it’s the most efficient. It rhymes a little bit with, um, broom. Except if the broom had a power cord?
Ahem.
Off go stir or baste or bake or something. 🙂
See you this weekend!
