I was attacked...by a labradoodle!

I've just started running and decided to go out by myself for the first time.

I was running along, minding my own business when a dog came out and bit me. He had ahold of my thigh and my pants. I had to yank my pants from his chompers. I am not normally afraid of dogs but this scared the crap out of me!

I called Jim and started crying. He went into fight mode and decided to call the police. I got picked up by a cruiser and taken to the house. The owner was cited (nearly $600!) and I was asked if I wanted to press charges. I decided not to but we'll see how it plays out!

The dog broke the skin but I'm ok. I've cleaned it all up and it'll be fine.

Here's a pic...just incase you're into that sort of thing! ;-)

All of the things I need...

Roo decided that she would sit and make a list of all of the things she needs.

Here you go...

No mommy? "No, your name is like humungous and way too long."

I agree. :-)

What I Do For Fun...

Change stuff around the house! I LOVE redecorating, repainting and picking out new stuff for the house.

Just this week I've decided to do two seperate projects. I've really stressed myself out over the whole thing, but now I'm done. Horray!

1. Removing our shower doors.

Anyone who's had shower doors knows that they get gross, no matter what. I've tried everything and finally decided to take them out. We've put up a shower curtain to match...but I don't have a picture of that because of technical difficulties (read: We put up a rod with lock-tite but it fell so we have it curing before we put the rod back up). I'm happy to share that it only took 10 minutes to get the whole thing down. I've also painted our towel racks. It's antique brass and I'm digging it! The original inspiration was an antique brass shower rod. Once I got that home, we realized it was just a hair too long! :-(

Part deux...

I've always wanted a red dining room. I've settled for a red wall in my dining room. It's red, bold and beautiful. I love it!


BTW, these pictures are taken in the dark room using no flash. I'll take some daylight pictures tomorrow!
