Matthew and I have been busy lately getting our puzzle on. It turns out that Puzzles(and cottage cheese) remain on the short list of things and activities that you recall fondly from your youth that are still worth the hype when revisited in adulthood. Unlike Rodney Dangerfield in the film LadyBugs, not funny.
conquering the City of Vail puzzle.
Puzzles are not the only things that I have been revisiting from my youth, I am also trying to persuade Matthew into getting a dog(a basset hound.) I am trying to broker a deal where if I do all of my chores and get good grades than I can get a dog for Christmas.
this is not the first time that I have tried to convince Matthew that we should get a dog, however this is the first time that my wanting of a dog has lasted longer than 24 hours. Which is why I had no option but to purchase this amazing shirt from Wal Mart with a basset hound silk screened on it.
I think I have proved my point, that I really do want a dog and I would take care of it and clean up after it and play with it and love it. (plus we all know that once you get bored of pets you can just return them, unlike baby's.)

i want a dog too! i want a greyhound though. steve really wants a basset hound like you. im not too keen on them...i dont like their short legs. they're like midget dogs. but i fully support you getting a dog. tell mathew to give mamma what she wants!
bye the way, you all now know what i've found out in the past few weeks, and that is that Lindsay can't tell the difference between a basset hound and a weiner dog. how can i take her seriously as a b-hound enthusiast when she has proven to me repeatedly that she has a hard time recognizing them in a line up of other funny looking k-9's.

We purchased a puzzle a couple of weeks ago... we just haven't gotten around to actually putting it together yet. On the dog note, I've been asking for one since we got married. I even tried to threaten Brett by telling him either we get a dog or have a baby. He choose baby. That jerk is always calling my bluff. Sorry about the deleting and re-adding a comment. I don't know why, but I put baby in quotations... Funny, but not necessary.
I may not be able to tell the difference between a b-hound and a weiner but I know when to use by and bye. Interesting mix up for a man who takes soooo much pride in being a grammar know it all!
sweet adeline has a broken leg, want her?
Are you CRAZY???? Are you mroe related to Josh than to Me??? Do NOT GET A DOG. They pee all over, they stink, they leave hair all around, and unlike kids, they don't fly free before the age of two. Seriously Matt, don't give in.

it's an old address I created about 2 years ago, but only barely posted something right now. Let me know what you think.
Are there more countries to add to my list???
I have over 30 1000+ piece puzzles.
Honestly.
We should have a puzzleathon.
Like a readathon.
In our pajamas, with dorritos.
And 2 Liter bottles of soda.
Maybe even a race.
Winner gets Addie...
XoXo

Get the dog, they can be left at home and not be in a car seat all the time! Although, I went with a boxer...
Oooh nice shirt Lindsay! And I support you two getting a dog. When you get sick of it you can give it to us. And when we get sick of it, we'll give it to Steve and Shell when they move down. So you should probably get a basset hound.
Stacie has been trying to pawn off Addie since she got her. It's so sad. The only time she actually wanted her was when she made a documentary about her life and wanted a Doggie companion.
ps:

since we are now neighboors, can we join the doritos-pj-puzzlethon?
Well, Matthew was raised in a house with disposable pets so I don't know why he's opposed at the beginning. The thinking process goes like this: You just don't think it through too carefully and then when reality sets in, THAT'S WHEN you change your mind! Seriously, he hated taking care of our dogs and even playing with them. He was NOT the alpha male in the house. Ask him about his experiences with Scooter, the cocker spaniel that we briefly had...
Linds...I want a dog too. Perhaps our hounds can be playmates? Alli & Jimmy's dog can be the "older cousin" mainly b/c they got a dog first & it's getting more huge by the day. Plus, mom & dad have proven themselves to be just as "silly stupid" over Grand-dogs as they are over their grandchildren. It's a GREAT choice.
Puzzles. wow that requires a lot of effort on my part, not a big fan of that. I wasn't blessed with that much patience. Im jealous that you can sit down and put one together, maybe when im like 80 and thats the only thing that i will be able to do?
no dogs, NO DOGS! I accidentally wrote no gods the first time...hmm
we love puzzles too, we have one that we will tackle someday with 7000 pieces
Luuuve the shirt. Your wanting a puppy is like my wanting a child. Jason only lets me ask once a day to have a baby because he thinks 1) crazy and 2) I am foolishly blinded by the cute cuddlie babies at church and don't see the behind the scenes where the parents say "what the hell did we get ourselves into".:)
