Post Valentines Rehash


Self Portrait with some commemorative plates.

So yesterday, for Valentines, it was just craziness here. Well, not really. But it involved candy.


I have this really nice husband. He took this photo! He got me Gustavo for my birthday! He brings sushi home! He stays out of the Team Small Dog Dog Agility blog most of the time because sometimes I have to figure out something to do to be a nice wife. Leaving him out of it is a nice thing for him. You do not know him, my dog agility friends. Because he DOES NOT ever go to the dog agility. You just take some guesses why. You know how it is.

I am possibly not a great wife. Many husbands would not want this type of wife that I am. So I am very lucky to have him!

A short list why:

I enjoy occasionally removing parts of the house that I don’t know how to put back together with my very own crowbar.

I do not cook. Or clean. I do not do dishes all that well. (According to some people)

I try to buy expensive pieces of property that we can’t afford. I have questionable reality issues when they concern accounting practices.

I have all these dogs and horses and I am either at work with the horses or traveling to glamorous cities for dog shows with the dogs. A lot. Like we are never home.

I fall asleep watching everything that we rent on DVD’s, making us (him) pay huge late fees on all the DVD rentals because it takes a long time to get through one hour of Dexter and I have to see the ending with my own 2 eyes.

I have slightly obsessive compulsive home decorating ideas that involve a lot of deer antlers and specific paint by numbers and commemorative plates and squirrels. And I do not BUDGE on home decorating decisions. Total phage nazi.

I make the neighbors hate us by putting our junker truck in front of the house so we can have a contact trainer and weave poles in the driveway. And sometimes he has to park nowhere near our house because of this. (Or also we could blame this on all the neighbor’s junker trucks. Let’s do that.)

I just make something into an Art Project if it is seeming too weird and crazy and everyone knows you can’t mess with the Art.

I painted the house with Joel Warner and now all the paint is falling off.


I leave animal antibiotics and syringes and so forth on the kitchen counter. And crumbs.

A fun activity with lots of my friends is always going to their art openings. And then I won’t go see a band with him because I will fall asleep.


Hey now I just figured out why the GIANT box of the See’s Candy. It is the sweet revenge! Thank you Gary!
