meet abe

I'd like you to meet our new puppy, Abraham Laboriel Ward:

We rescued Abe from Ross's parents house. Had we not, we're certain he would have been a victim of the Brenda Ward Mass Throwaway/Auction spree of 2010. And we're so glad we did.

Abe is the greatest puppy a family could ever ask for. He's quiet, he's polite, and he's very considerate. He doesn't eat much, and he's completely housebroken. He's really good at sitting and staying, too, although he does have some trouble fetching.

We'd love for you to meet Abe next time you're in our neck of the woods. (When you do, though, don't tell him he's stuffed -- he doesn't know!)

Representing the late '80s/early '90s

Last weekend, Ross and I had the pleasure of attending a "Decade Dance." Our instructions were to come dressed as your favorite decade ready to dance the night away.

Since we don't actually have a favorite decade (at least, I don't), we went to Cheap Thrills, our local overpriced vintage/thrift store, where I walked directly to the racks labeled "1930s", "1940s", "1950s", and so on.

We decided to go with the '80s because, really, how hard can it be to look tacky?

Here's what we came up with.


How'd we do?
