I HATE when I do that!

If there is one thing I hate, its when I forget my little restaurant to-go box on the table. That is exactly what I did tonight. Mike and I went out for pizza, Flying Pie pizza no less. We each had 2 pieces and saved the rest for a delicious lunch. We EVEN SAID to ourselves..."lets not forget our pizza on the table!" And what did we do...we walked out without it. UG. I think it had something to do with the fact that immediately after we finished gorging ourselves on zah, we said "hey lets go to Coldstone!" The thought of a bowl of wonderful ice cream clouded my mind, and I carelessly left the pizza on the table. Such a bummer for my stomach.

Pet Hair is my thing.


Pet hair drives me nuts, and trust me-I see plenty of it.


Here's a helpful little article on "How to Remove Pet Hair." Seems obvious-but there are some great tips!




If you really want to avoid the pet hair problem before it's covering your clothes-check this out! The Furminator! I'm seriously considering investing in one of these bad boys.

Tango is addicted!


My dog Tango is OBSESSED with this red ball. She has it in her mouth 24 hours a day. She sleeps with it, she goes outside with it, she barley puts it down to eat. She has this ball in her mouth ALL DAY LONG. The other issue-is that it is a squeaky ball, she she is constantly squeaking it. It's cute-but its driving me batty!


Dixie likes to steal it from her-this makes Tango insane! She also loses it under the couch just about every 10 minutes and then goes on a rampage running around the couch, barking at it, whining until I get under the couch and retrieve it for her. Isn't SHE the retriever?


Here's a pic of her taking a nap-she doesn't even put it down to nap!

The Perfect Cup of Tea


I'm still a little bit sick, and my dogs are driving me bonkers tonight so thought I'd enjoy a cup of tea and relax.


Funny enough there was this link living on my home page so thought I'd share :)




I have to say-I thought I knew how to make a good cup of tea, but I didn't know about the Tea Cozy...

Why its good to live/work in Seattle...


Taken with my camera phone (sorry-bad quality!) outside my office. Even though it's been raining and awful for 2 weeks-this day makes it all worth it.

When Daddy's away...


I travel a lot-and I can ONLY imagine what is going on in my house while I'm out. Here's a snapshot of what goes on in my house when Mike is gone :)


The dogs have become quite accustomed to sleeping on the bed.


When I go upstairs to go to bed, they lay sweetly on their dog beds on the floor as if they will be there all night. Sometimes they even start snoring the second they lay down-like they fell asleep immediately! As I get in bed their little head's raise up, and the second I pull the covers over myself and lay my head on the pillow-BAM, they are on the bed like lightening.


They are spoiled rotten little doogs but I love them! I hope I can break them of this habit.


BTW-the ball in Tango's mouth is driving me nuts. She is OBSESSED with squeaking it ALL the time.


Also-the picture quality isn't the best-darn phone camera.

Welcome to the Quah!




People say moving is like child birth. You do it, it's painful, and then when the dust settles you forget all of the hard work you put into it. I can't say that I've forgotten about that part yet, as we just moved last weekend-but things are coming along. Mike and I moved from Mercer Island to Issaquah to a great house. It's tiny, it's cute-but we love it. It's definitely suburbia...I think Mike said something like "It's like Martha Stewart threw up Pleasantville." The move was tough-combining two households is an art and to top it off, Mike left town 3 days after we moved. So the dogs and I have slowly but surely been getting things put back together. Watch for the housewarming invite soon!
