TGIF?

It's finally Friday. Unfortunately it feels like Wednesday. I was hoping today would be the day we would know for certain where we will be moving. It appears that is not the case. I'm crossing my fingers it will be no longer than another week. Anytime I think a city seems to be narrowed down, I get thrown for a loop and we start all over again.

I am excited that today is the day we get to go pick the puppy up! I'm a bit nervous for this whole endeavor. I've never had a dog before, let alone a puppy. How long is it OK to leave him at home alone? Will he miss his family? When do we start training him? How many treats are too many? Oh the questions!

I'm glad I will have the weekend to ease into this canine parenthood. I'll be home the entire time as I'm only on day two of the 15 day "No Face detox" diet (I'm abstaining from anything that had a face or came from something that had a face i.e. dairy, as well as no sugar, no caffeine, no preservatives, no alcohol, no wheat products. Essentially it's fruits, veggies, tofu, hummus, and juice for the next 13 days, similar to Oprah's 21 Quantum Wellness Cleanse). Eating out is almost impossible. At least this time Nick will be doing the detox with me... I'm not sure if this is by choice or simply because the house is only stocked with No Face food, and he doesn't like going to the store.
Resting up and chillin at home should be a good start to getting to know our new addition. If only there was a pet maternity leave :)

You and your cleanses...at first I thought you were saying you were abstaining from Face Book and I was going to tell you that was just plain ridiculous! ;)

Can't wait for puppy updates and pictures!

I can't wait to see pictures of your new puppy! Okay, I seriously don't know how you do all these cleanses! I'm doing Weight Watchers and feel like I might die of starvation, so I can't imagine how you're feeling. You must have some great willpower!
