Things that are awesome right now.

My dog is pretty much the cutest dog ever. He now sleeps with us every night, which is totally cool, because that means he sleeps later in the morning and that makes everyone (read: me) so much happier. The other day I took him for a walk down to the school fields and he found a big yellow field hockey ball. He rolled it around with his nose for a while and then picked it up and proceeded to direct me promptly home. He likes to sit on the back of the chair with it, and then drop it onto our hardwood floors (maybe not so awesome). Tuesday morning when Chris left for work Freddie saw him out, and then came running up the stairs and into our bedroom with something yellow in his mouth. Yes, his ball. He loves it.


I don't have any pics of Freddie and his ball, but here are some just because he is redonkulously cute:
HELLO! I AM AWESOME FREDDIE!
COULD I BE ANY CUTER? OR MORE AWESOME?

Also awesome -- just in time for football, baseball playoffs, the return of The Office, My Name is Earl, CSI, Without a Trace, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Law & Order: SVU, Deal or No Deal, Shark and countless other programs, we have purchased a new television. A freakin' big one. One that may prevent us from going on any vacations in the near, or far, future. Or even buying groceries. But it is so awesome that I thought Josh Beckett was in my living room last night. And who needs vacation when we now have the Travel Channel and National Geographic in monstrous high-def? I only wish I could have had this television in the previous few weeks to watch Pasha and his dance pants, but a girl can't have it all, I guess. That being said, in less than one month I will be seeing Pasha and his dance pants in REAL LIFE.

Something else that is awesome is that I am currently, at this very moment, roasting a chicken covered in butter and salt and pepper and lemon. I also just made mashed potatoes, and then I promptly licked the beater and spoon as though it was chocolate frosting. Truth be told, I think I enjoyed homemade mashed potatoes more than chocolate frosting! I am back in cooking mode. It's like as soon as September first rolls around, I just start wanting to cook and bake more. I made sorta-apple cupcakes over the weekend, and stuffed shells, and now the chicken and mashed potatoes, and I am making a Milky Way cake for a get-together on Friday night. YES. A cake! Made! Of! Milky! Ways! I will post pictures, no worries.

Lastly, awesome: McNuggets McNuggets WHAT!
