I should be cleaning. I’ve had the last 3 days off, plus tomorrow is Thanksgiving and Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. That equals up to a whole week off. Which equals waking up at 9:30-ish, working out, taking a shower, getting coffee, and cleaning. FUNFUNFUN! I should back up, though.
WE GOT NEW BIKES! They are safely stowed away in our spare bedroom (take that dirty bike thieves), and they are awesome. My new one is WAAAAAY better than my old Target bike and it was a present from Bobby, thus making it the best ever. It is blue & white and has little birdies painted all over it. Also came with a matching bell. (see: example) In return, we went hunting for a vintage fixer-upper for Bobby, since that is what he wanted. We finally found an old 10-speed that had fully inflated tires so we could ride that night.
We even took them on the light rail and rode around Tempe. We grabbed coffee at Cartel, had some lunch and Pumpkin Porter at Four Peaks, and also found some FROYOYO!
It has become something we LOVE.
I also dumped T-Mobile. It was not a quiet or happy break-up, but Bobby intervened and we came to a compromise. I actually called them to confirm that my contract was over and asked how much I would owe if I cancelled that day. They said it would be prorated and I would owe about half my regular bill since I was half-way though the billing cycle. Cue me & Bobby at the Apple store 10 minutes later picking out my new iPhone.
Ah, it is so nice, fast, doesn’t close applications randomly, and I can actually update it regularly without Bobby needing to jailbreak it! After the purchase, I called T-mobile to cancel my service where they decided to tell me that my bill would NOT be prorated and I would owe the entire bill amount despite me canceling in the middle of the cycle and the lady I had talked to 30 minutes earlier telling me otherwise. So Bobby had to take the phone from me before I started to curse and cry at the guy at the other end & got it fixed for me. Yeah Bobby! 
For all his hard work, I got him a iTouch! (Well, I gave him my old iPhone, hehe.)
In some sad news, I lost one of my oldest best friends a few weeks back. 
Bustykins. Granted she was about a month away from turning 16, was blind & deaf, and barked non-stop, but I thought she would be there for one more holiday season. Alas, she could no longer walk.
Also, I’m currently sitting next to a bald-butted Lil. She had surgery on a lump on her butt Monday morning, we are still awaiting the biopsy results, but she has been in such good spirits lately and still exhibits her lovey-dovey-puppy-like behavior she is known for, so we have faith it will be nothing serious. She had a great vet who is known for doing all the butt surgeries, hehe. Here we are recovering from a long Monday.
In wedding news….well, not much. We are getting “engagement” pictures taken in a few weeks (our photographer: Kym Ventola) and we are going to the bakery this Saturday for cake tasting (or rather, cupcake testing). We still need to get our rings, and I have some simple ideas for flowers. I’m still awaiting the invitation design (courtesy of my in-house designer, Bobby), and also Bobby needs a tux! Geez, what a slacker! 
I also have the entire Christmas week off, so maybe i will head to Michael’s and start making some decorations. Maybe, maybe not…
It’s getting colder! Make sure not to leave home without your scarf!
(this is her usual look, she is not being tortured!)
…or fall asleep head first in your scarf.
