Puppy Playtime and The Stove Saga



This week, I got to puppysit my boss' Yorkie, Dash!

We had lots of fun playing fun games with him!

He enjoyed our big front window as he's obsessed with people-watching!

He even finds a way to look outside when we put up curtains! Nosey little boy!

(Notice how he sits completely spread eagle. It's so funny, but so uncomfortable looking!)


He also enjoyed discovering new spots to rest! Who would ever guess under the coffee table is comfy? Not me!

He also enjoyed being spoiled and sleeping night after night curled at my feet!

He'll head back home to his Momma tomorrow when she returns from her much deserved vacation! We'll miss having his cute lil' face around, but before we know it, Cailin's Yorkie Hershey will be making his presence known in our home as our household pet!

This weekend, I was bitten by the "need to clean" bug. I accomplished the bathroom, the family room, and most importantly, the kitchen stove. Cailin and I had mentioned giving the nasty looking thing a good scrubbing, but never actually did it. But today - nope! I needed it clean! 

So began our saga...

Yeah...I'm not sure this thing has EVER been cleaned! EW!

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Mmm...yummy! That was the water in the kitchen sink after our hour long scrub!


It looks better...but this stove is beyond help. I eventually gave up. What an exhausting endeavor!

In other news, I've completed my 'Up With People' application process! Now the wait begins! I conducted my phone interview today with two very nice UWP representatives, and they informed me that I will hear about my acceptance in the next week or two (even though I wouldn't enter the program until Jan. 2013!) Keep your fingers crossed! This program has me VERY excited!!! =)
