I got my dogs groomed today, paid the $90 and then was like...why can't I learn to do this myself?? So I may be learning how to groom dogs in the next couple of weeks. It could lead to disaster. Be ready in the coming month for crazy pics.

Never had to groom a dog but DH decided he was no longer paying for haircuts so he bought clippers and I've been doing it. YouTube videos have been a lifesaver. Just watch a few and gauge your confidence.

What breed(s) are they? Growing up, I had a shih-tzu, and my dad would straight up put on a medium length attachment on an electric razor and shave him. Probably not showroom quality but he still looked pretty darn cute. And then trim the fur on his ears and right above his eyes carefully. Definitely watch some videos online and read some tutorials!

And then there's my DH who decided to buzz his own head with the dog clippers one day while I wasn't home!! Haha.

I am a fan of this (real) (actually for sale) shower curtain, but I like my friends and want them to keep coming over my house.

I have seen one like this also, and want one too, but I think it would keep even MH out of the bathroom...

They are mini aussiedoodles. 12&16 lbs. They have soft slightly curly fur. I feel like the older one is more tolerant but with DH and I working together we could get the younger one to cooperate. Might be worth a try!
Here's a pic of them after a grooming for funsies.

You could totally do that kind of a cut, especially with help from your DH! I have confidence in you

And your pups are adorable!!

All I would have to do is show my H that and he would ask where to order it.

aw, shit.. I just emailed him the shower curtain and asked if I should buy it.  He said "OF COURSE."

::pondering::  I don't always have to be an adult, right?

So did you buy it?

Working today... I am going to try to get a lot of paperwork filed and what not. We shall see.

I cannot wait for this weekend. We are starting phase one of a kitchen remodel, which is tearing out upper cabinets, knocking out a soffit and patching things up. I started taking things out of cabinets yesterday to store elsewhere and I desperately need some boxes to put things in.

I am prepared for all of this to suck pretty badly but I am trying to stay positive and telling myself the end result will be more than worth it.

What all are you having done? Our kitchen is probably going to be our 2016 project.

We are getting ready to start our kitchen remodel too. I am seriously excited. We are still in the brainstorming stage but are getting ready to start shopping. We are completely knocking out a wall to expand and open it up to the living/dining room. My kitchen is really tiny and extremely out-dated so I am so ready to get started. 

nuggetrn, have any inspiration pics to share? Im obsessed with all things kitchen right now.

I used to buzz ex-h's hair. It was pretty easy but he liked it super super short so if I messed up I just buzzed the whole thing and no one really noticed.

I've had one gourmet cupcake today from a box that some friends sent me yesterday and I ate two yesterday. They aren't huge cupcakes... I totally should not have another one right?

I think that depends how good they are.

My friend who lives with us bought this blackberry pie from an Amish bakery and said to have at it, and it is so freaking good. I am in danger of eating the whole thing.

Does it get crispier?

Yep, its basically the perfect crisp-ness and you don't have to deal with the grease popping all over the place or your hair smelling like bacon all day.

No deal, then. I need that eau de bacon to bring all the boys to the yard.

I honestly don't think I have any real inspiration pics that we have been using because all we really did was go and pick out stuff we liked and that went together and met our price range. That sort of sounds like we put no thought into it but we have actually been planning it for over a year... I have honestly been being kind of careful not to go totally crazy because I don't want to make a kitchen that I know I am going to leave my "dream kitchen."

I will however, post pictures of stuff we have purchased when I get home and get on my regular computer because I have zero problem AWing what is going to be our new kitchen soon. I am really really excited for it and I love everything we have picked out.

They are all different but so far the chocolate mint with fudge core was amazing, the cookies and cream was delicious, and the red velvet with cream cheese frosting was like happiness in my mouth. I'm looking at half of a lemon cupcake or strawberry cheesecake cupcake.

Now I need a cupcake.

DH is on the fast path of thinning hair so I have to be super careful. Hes ready to start buzzing it but I'm not.
