Pictures from my Phone & Weekly Distractions

This morning I woke up with zero puppies, which is exactly too many fewer puppies than one should have. So tonight I drove to Adam's house and made some excuse about why it would make sense for me to take Teddy with me and to my shock this actually worked. Then I drove to Matt's house with Teddy in tow and gave Matt a guilt trip about how lonely Mr. Pants was going to be if I didn't bring him with us and have a puppy slumber party, and to my shock, that worked.

So now I have two puppies. And they are hysterically barking at each other because there's only one bone at my house and they aren't good at sharing and this town is only big enough for one of them. So, yeah. I used my super powers of persuasion to achieve this result.

And now, your Pictures & Distractions:

Brianne and I took a work selfie and posted it on Instagram. 

Then she came into my office five minutes later and made me take another one "with makeup" so people wouldn't think she always looks "awful." And she made me sit on her lap for this. And she promised me that this is normal behavior for bosses and assistants.

Mr. Pants did not have a very good time at the light fixture store. 

You guys know that I'm not the type to complain about my Snuggie, but I just want to say that I'm very frustrated with how low and impractical the pockets are on this. Do you know how incovenient it is to reach all the way down there to pull out my wallet when I'm in the checkout line at the grocery store?

Found in my favorite consignment shop, Old Flamingo. 

Mr. Pants!

Mr. Teddy Scraps!

From Jasina, who explained that in Brunei if you buy "fresh" chicken, they wrap it like this so you can carry it around like a purse while you do more shopping.
