A weekend look-back.....

Here's are three observations from our weekend.

1) Since I am apparently going to be Gordita Forever (GF for short), I decided to try a new concept.  I will only eat sweets (in moderation) as long as I make the sweets myself.  No more store brought junk.  So along those lines, I found a super-yummy recipe that I swiped off someone's Pinterest.  [Line cookie sheet with foil, spray with coconut cooking spray, lay out 25 saltine crackers (I put them salt-side down so the salt would hit your tongue when you eat them- genius, I know....)  Then melted 1 stick of butter with 1/2 cup of brown sugar.  When the butter melts, bring to a boil and stir continuously for 3 minutes.  Pour over the crackers and spread evenly when you're done.  Then bake at 325 for 8 minutes.  No overcooking.  When done, take the whole foil off the cookie sheet to cool.  I sprinkled some sea salt on top and drizzled some chocolate over some.]  They are super good.

2) Next, I realized that Roger and I are way too wrapped up in our puppy, Pepito.  On top of having to check under his mattress every night to see what he stole from around the house that day, and him squeaking his loudest toy continually when we are not paying attention to him, and having to feed him from our hand to get him to eat, and him peeing when he's mad at us- then punishing himself by going in his kennel (because he knows that's what we'll make him do), this is our newest endeavor..... We discovered that Pepi is afraid of cats.  He refused to go outside today because a cat was sitting by the pool.  When we dragged him outside to try to get him to go potty, he cried out like we were beating him.  So, Roger and I found ourselves improvising the following episode to try to teach Pepi how to act like a dog.  Roger got down on his hands and knees outside the kitchen door and pretended like he was a cat.  I was inside with Pepi, and upon seeing Roger the cat, I went to the door on my hands and knees and acted like a dog by barking as loud as I could.  And magically, the cat, Roger, got scared and went away.  I don't think Pepi quite caught on to our lesson.  Oh well.  We had fun.

3) And finally, I need to solicit adult supervision for my husband whilst I am not at home.  Today I caught him turning the toaster on it's side to make grilled cheese so the cheese wouldn't melt all in the toaster.  Need I say more?

We are idiots, but hey, life is good!!!

Happy Thanksgiving week!
