Missing Penny

"Ewww, Nana... you are not going to make me eat those green beans, are you?"

Linda is missing Penelope so much.  It's been 2 days since she has seen her.  Thursday was their regular play date, but she didn't come to Family Night on Friday.  There was a basketball away game, so most everyone went to that, including Taylor and Sarah.  Linda sat in the nursery for 1/2 hour waiting for a baby to watch, but there wasn't any takers.  One almost stayed, but she had a cranky day and wanted to be with her Mama.  Chim spent the day at PW's since Linda was gone more than she was home.  Don't feel bad for me being here by myself.  I can go 8 hours without needing to go outside and I sleep the entire time on any of my three comfy beds.  Chim does terrible alone that long since he needs constant affirmation that he is loved and a good dog. 

His eyes are chocolate brown but they always show blue in photos

I love this photo of him.  It is one of the few where he doesn't look like a beast-Chihuahua, just a normal size for his breed.  If he stood up, he would look like a Mini-Pin or a small Doberman since his legs are giraffe legs. 

After church, there is a list of outside and inside chores that need to be done. Outside hasn't been raked once yet this fall, there are a bazillion pine needles in the driveway, dead flowers need to be clipped, weeds pulled, backyard Doody-Called, deck cleaned off, lawn mowed and then there is the inside too.  Remember the fiasco where she used that powder cleaner that mixes with water?  Two weeks later she is STILL trying to get the residue off where she sprayed it. If anyone has any de-soaping hints (think powdered laundry detergent sticking to everything and when you wipe it, it smears and recrystallizes) she would welcome them (chalupa@live.com)  She is NOT going to pick up her ND Lion book until at least 2 hours of work is done.
