Christmas Dog
Here are some holiday videos of the pup. He is afraid of our singing Christmas dog....wimp! Also a great one of him opening his present.....please ignore our "dog talk" voices....
I'm definitely obsessed with my dog.

Colorado Christmas
Make...It....Stop
Peanut Butter Blossoms: Very easy and a crowd pleaser. Too bad I'm not a big fan of peanut butter cookies, although...maybe that's a good thing. The hardest part about these is unwrapping all the kisses....thankfully, Brian helped out today.

Puppy Memories
I found these two videos while going through some Riley-puppy pictures tonight. They made me giggle and long for another puppy. Then again, I don't have any videos of him chewing up shoes or getting up twice a night to go out and pee.....
Enjoy - Riley and what came to be known as his pee-pee duck...

Lesson Not Learned
First, I'd like to thank you for not being a liar. I read your packaging before I made my purchase of you and I saw that you promised to keep my drink hot for 12 hours. I should have trusted you and taken you seriously. However, I did not. I assumed you were like any other jerk of a mug, not living up to your advertised uses.
I filled you with coffee, piping hot from my Cuisinart Brewmaster at 6:50am and I took my first sip from your nifty no-leak opening about 35 minutes later...only to burn the shit out of my upper lip. I think you actually went above and beyond and heated my coffee up further.
I should have listened to Brian's warning via text from an hour earlier "be careful with the coffee, it never cools down". I never learn my lesson with hot food and beverage items. I burn my tongue twice a week, at a minimum. But now I've done it....I've never burned my lip like this. Thank you, Contigo Travel Mug, for giving me a second degree burn on my upper lip.
Sincerely,
Gina

Gruesome
Halloween 2K9
There's Brian, carving away! He's feeling much better and managed to hobble over to the dining room and sit with me to carve pumpkins. Yes, that's right...one of our pumpkins has a huge bruise on it. We made it work.
