eek...

I just got home from a week of camp today.  No Rob + little sleep makes Abi a dull girl.  And maybe a little cranky.  I wish I had some pictures to post, but alas - I forgot my camera so there are none to be had.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART TWO

Mentally preparing to see Deathy Hallows part 2 tonight.  

OMGOMG.

ADDICT

This is the best tea in the entire world.  If you disagree then well, you are just wrong.

i need a puppy. like, NEED.

I have begun to become more and more obsessed with getting a puppy.  However, all the breeds I'm initially drawn to (i.e. Siberian Husky) are just not suitable for the place we live (small house, small backyard).  Plus, Rob and I would obviously be at work all day so an overly active breed could wreak some real havoc on our home.  Mostly though I don't want to be unfair to the dog.

Today we were at my mother-in-law's (Jane) house and she recommended the Shiba Inu.  I had literally never heard of the breed, but Jane definitely knows dogs and we were looking up some pictures and videos on Youtube and I have to say I find them completely precious.  So then I had to come home and (after laundry, weeding the flower beds, etc.) look them up on weheartit.com  And I found....

I especially love the darker coats. Presh presh presh.

So I'm sitting here compulsively researching/awww-ing over dogs while Rob works on a design comp for the job I took pictures for a week or so ago.  Next step: convince my parents/landlords that I/Rob should have a dog at our/their house.

pompano joe's

Today we ate as a family at Pompano Joe's, the seafood place on the beach right across from our house.  I decided to get crazy and ordered...a cheeseburger.  Too bad I don't like seafood.

a walk on the beach

It gets a little hectic in the house so in the afternoons Rob and I have been escaping on little walks like these.  Today we saw the most epic sandcastle.  Also today is the first day we got a little sunburn.  This should be seen as a victory, not a failure.  Home in two(ish) days!

independence day

Currently Rob and I are in Destin, Florida with my dad's entire side of the family in the same house (31 people!).  It is pure chaos, mostly drunken chaos.  Destin is really pretty but it is so insanely packed and is purely a tourist town, which is kind of annoying.  My family has been doing this for several years but this is my first time attending.

Anyway.  Tonight we watched fireworks on the beach.  The sheriff actually came driving down the beach and was stopping at everyone shooting off fireworks and telling them they had to pack up, because apparently conditions in whatever county we are in are too dry.  That stopped maybe 2 people and the fireworks continued, and are still continuing.
