a Winning day!

Yesterday I had the day off, my boss is going away for a couple of weeks and I have to be in charge so she gave me an extra day. I decided to take Thursday mainly because I wanted to take our dog Sheba to the Vet and so I did.

After the visit to the Vet I took her to the beach and had a fabulous time, she is so well behaved that I can even take her off the leash and she won't wonder around, approaches anybody and behaves super well among other dogs, we had a great time together and she made me very proud!

The day was a bit cloudy but it work out fine because otherwise it would've been too hot.

As soon as we got to the beach a little tiny doggie approach her (later on we found out he was a male named Max). She was very nice to him and even allowed him to drink off of her water bowl.

Here's a photo of lil' Max...

 

Then we went for a long walk (about a mile and a half) and did some very nice swimming... I specially pushed Sheba because the Vet says she needs to exercise more and go on a diet, she's gain two pounds since her last appointment and now she is 82 lbs!!!

Doesn't she look like she was having so much fun?!?!?!? We really did have a great time :)

Well, now off to some winning matters...

Today is the day of the winner of the I Love Yarn Day 2012 Giveaway....

And the winner is: Colleen Schnell

30 Rock is back, but after watching back to back episodes of the previous season, one episode a week doesn't really cut it for me...

Officially lovin' that google trick of the "askew"... if you don't know what I mean just open a google search and type askew

Tell if it worked for you (it didn't for my husband!)

I am super excited because tomorrow is Wednesday and I will be having a new giveaway, so stay tuned!

Although I live in the tropics and there's no such thing as "Fall or Autumn", I can't help but love this little cartoon, specially cause Snoopy is my favorite!

[4]

But it's not only Snoopy who has a special place in my heart, all dogs do too... can't help but smile when I see this image... although wish it was me lying down instead, LOL!

Love Tuesdays when I go to the gym early in the a.m. and exercise my little butt off... today I literally sweat as if I was given birth to triplets!!!!

[2]
I think Family Guy is quite funny some times, but it can also be quite rude and offensive as well... I do have to say that I enjoy Consuela's jokes, and although I am not very fond of Jesus/God's jokes, I found this one very funny!

[1]
Hope everybody has a wonderful Tuesday and remember to stop by tomorrow and sign up for my very special giveaway, can't wait :)

two days, too fast!

Happy Monday, I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!!! Mine was very low key, on Saturday I stayed home all day, I catch up and finished one of the three ongoing crochet project I've had on my desk for a while...

This is my latest project,  a lovely bathmat, I didn't use any pattern and pretty much changed and added as I wanted, I think it came our pretty nice, don't you agree?

But the bathmat was not all I did, I managed to start another project, I cannot go into details today but I will reveal more in the next couple of days, so stay tuned!!!

So, remember my Nikon J1 camera I bought a couple of months ago?!?!? Well, I am still in love with it and now even more since I just bought a book that explains how to make the most out of it and I am hoping to buy a new lens for it in the next coming days...

Here are photos I took with it over the weekend.

Please don't mind the background mess... thanks!

Our cats are always great subject matters for photography.

So are flowers, right?

Have a wonderful week!!!!
