My Goals:
Don't make random ice cream runs to Culver's for mint oreo concrete mixers (v-e-r-y specific because I realized I had a problem)
I went to Culver's once because we were on our way home from fishing and Scott suggested it and I'd just suffered through 1.5 hours outside with the bugs. So we went to Culver's.
Don't online shop.
I bought some loose leaf tea online. I couldn't find it in the stores.
I hopped back on the shopping bandwagon this week with a customized address stamp and some Bare Minerals makeup to lay in a supply before we move and address changes complicate life.

No more soda at school
No soda! I think I broke the habit! My twice-a-week-latte-problem on the other hand…
2. So the new guy is cute. I don't know if any dog could ever be as cute as Scout was. Don't get me wrong. I smush Jett's little face with kisses and snuggles about twenty times a day. He's incredibly roly-poly and uncoordinated, which is really quite adorable.
Jett is also quite willful. He will let you know when he is not happy. In fact, our dogs seem to have more personality than a lot of people I know. Since Jett is the second one, like with children I would assume, we're a lot more relaxed. He sleeps where he wants, eats when Scout eats, and every accident he has isn't the end of the world.
Scout was horrified that Jett decided to dig into the dog food in the doggie travel-bag. He kept looking up at me like, "Are you seeing this?" and looking at Jett like "This is not allowed, friend."
He burrows to feel safe. That's our friend's laptop that he took a pup-nap behind.
He also makes lots of baby noises. When he yawns, especially. It's a little too adorable. I wish you could hear it. Or, maybe not, because then you'll be out buying puppies. He also gets huffy and grunty a lot. Perhaps the French coming out in him? (kidding…kind of)
He's 8 weeks right now, so quite soon we'll be starting commands. He's not 100% house trained, obviously, but we're getting there. At night, if he has to go, he'll wake you up by clawing at your face so you'll take him outside. Scott has the scars to prove it.
----------------------------------------------------------
As for Scout, he's adjusting well. A few weeks ago, he'd stopped eating and was refusing to sleep with us. He'd get all huffy and curl up on the floor somewhere. Now, he eats his food right away and sleeps right at my feet. I think he fears that he's going to be replaced if he doesn't follow the rules. Note: I really don't care if he sleeps with us or not. Dogs in beds have always bothered me. As long as he's clean, it's comforting to have him there, especially if Scott's not home.
3. I'm already stressed out and it's only Tuesday morning. In addition to ALL THE PHONE CALLS I had to make yesterday, I had two phone interviews for jobs in Colorado and a full day of 2nd graders. Plus, looking around at half my belongings in boxes sets my nerves on edge. It's still slightly better than movers coming in and upending your life all in one day, I suppose.
4. That was pretty much all puppy stuff. Are you ready to go buy one yet? If you're interested in an Epagneul Breton…
