[the neighbor's dog, Smores]
Just thought I’d stick my tongue (or in this case, Smores’ tongue) out at you to see if you’re still there & if you’re paying attention.
Not much to share tonight…fairly boring, husband-less weekend.
Please tell me you had better luck.
I’m all ears…and Smores is, too.

I’m here…I think.
This past week my headaches have come back. Always around early afternoon & lasting straight through to bedtime.
It’s made for a lot of boring days of not doing much. Add in the fact that Eric’s not home & without his smiling face and daily hi-jinks life around here seems to lose it’s color.
Can’t tell you when he left, where he went, what for or when he’ll be back…but I can tell you the pass he put in to come home for a couple of days for our anniversary was rejected.
We knew it might be a possibility…that’s life in the Army.
I’ll keep the reservation up at the Lodge in Yongsan – sitting alone in a hotel room with access to room service & some kind of American TVÂ has got to be better than sitting at home alone watching Demi Soda commercials.
Sorry – inside joke. A Korean soft drink company, Demi Soda, has recently put out the most ridiculous ad campaign. So much so that I’ve been trying to catch it on video to share with you &Â have a giveaway.
Needless to say, Moo-Moo desperately misses her daddy. The first night she slept at the door, waiting for him to come home. Second night…the same thing. She perks up anytime she hears a car door outside – thinking it might be him.
You see, each time Eric comes home from work he goes through this whole routine with her – which includes a song that makes her dance. It’s the “Daddy’s Home” song. A made up tune – but it’s hysterical to see her jump & prance to it. And when he’s gone for more than just a work day the performance is definitely video-worthy. So I’ll be sure to record it for you.
For now though it’s off to bed.
What have you got going on this weekend?
While my days have been filled dealing with these two little escape artists, I’ve also been dealing with art of another kind.
Back when I learned I had ‘some-ting in my brain’ I put my graphic design business on indefinite hold. Yup…shut the sucker down.
Being creative was the last thing I could possibly pull-off and so emails went out, the website was taken down & a notice of temporary closure put up in it’s place. But now that things have settled somewhat I’m ready to start up again.
I’ve just about mastered this new e-commerce software & with it I wanted to refresh the business brand. I’ve had a new design all laid out since mid-July, but Friday I took one look at it & thought this isn’t me or the image I want to portray.
So I scrapped the whole thing & started again.
Have you ever done that?…Been so close to finishing something only to stop, tear it all apart & do everything again?
It’s happened to me a few more times than I’d like to admit. But in the graphic design business, image is everything.
So while I’ve had my head down in graphic software for hours on end for the past 5 days straight, each time I come up for air & step outside the boys are inevitably waiting for me.
And sometimes they’re not so patient.
They’ll sit outside our open screen door, looking in like 5 year-olds asking if I can come out to play.
