Happy 12/12/12!

Twelve is a good number unless you are counting WW pointsplus and your drink is 12 ppt!!!!!  Yesterday Boy and I went shopping.  We rewarded ourselves with a Sonic happy hour drink (actually I could have had a "loaded" drink for less calories than my diet cherry limeade).  I was happily drinking away my 44 oz diet drink and in the evening I logged onto the WW website and tracked my points.  Holy Moly!  The program said a small diet cherry limeade is 5 points!!!!  I had a huge Route 44 diet cherry limeade!!!!  I drank almost all my points in that one drink.  Could this be true???  Please, someone tell me I'm dreaming.  Quick, brink me a drink.  Surely a diet beer is less than that!

NO more Happy Hour at Sonic.  I would be tempted to buy a diet coke and I haven't had a dark cola since July. I do have willpower-- why can't I use that power for good instead of chocolatey evil???

Right now I'm enjoying a nice cool glass of water while I type this.  No, it's not as yummy as a diet cherry limeade but I found a great alternative at Wal-Mart.  0 points for their diet cherry limeade. 

Oh, grainiacs!  The air is crisp and cool outside and that means the animals are on a cool, crisp high.  Cosmos is chasing Kitzilla all over the house.  Brooks jumped on the couch to get away from Cosmos and Oliver is just daring Cosmos to chase him.  Actually Cosmos does chase Ollie but the results are not as fun as the others.  Ollie doesn't put up with those shenanigans unless he instigates them!  Period! Cosmos couldn't stand Brooks being alone on the back of the couch so he has jumped up there too.  Such silly creatures and so entertaining.

Today I have taken a picture of the backyard for you to see.  Hubby and I are leery of digging up any grass at present so we are enjoying pot decorating....no, not that kind of pot, but I hear it's legal in some states.  I wonder how many ppts it has?!  Just a thought!

HARK! Do I hear something?

 Doggies enjoying the great outdoors.  They are spending more time out there.  Our alley is always buzzing with cars passing by.....or dumpster divers checking out the businesses' garbage.  Such a busy place for curious doggies!!

pretty hanging gardens

 Hubby bought another pretty hanging plant for me!

It is in the foreground.  Isn't it beautiful?

the patio is still a work in progress....what can I say? We have a lot of "works in progress" right now.

Ollie wanting OUT! See him in the door?

I guess I should close now.  I just heard a crash and the little pitter patter of Cosmos chasing a cat.  I might have to put away my Christmas decorations till next week when the weather is sure to rise again to the 80's.  My animals are just too active in this wonderful cool weather.  darn it.
