Coffee, dogs and windows oh my!

So where should I start! I like to update everyone of my progress to my blog. As for coffee today is day four with no coffee intake. I posted a comment on the Baltimore message board about giving up coffee and I got some great advice from the ladies. First off I am going try and work out every morning, then drink a cold glass of water and eat breakfast and hopefully that would help me my urges for Coffee. For those cold mornings I have substitute my coffee for hot chocolate.

Last Sunday Tim, Josie and I took a trip to Wilmington, DE to check out Sawyer (see previous post for link!). We arrived in Wilmington around 2p.m. and we were able to meet Sawyer for the first time. He was really on the small size. Maybe 30 lbs. Josie is almost 70lbs so it was kind of hilarious watching them play. Sawyer could walk underneath Josie. For the first 30 minutes Josie just smelled her way through the house. I believe about 20 minutes before we decided to leave Josie finally woke up and meet Sawyer. Sawyer and Josie started playing and growling and my heart sank. I knew right there, that Sawyer would not be good match for our family. For one he is small. We wanted a dog that is equal size of Josie give or take some lbs. Plus I felt that the growling was a major problem. Josie doesn't growl, she is the biggest lover we know. So our search continues. We are going to still try and work with this rescue.

As for Friday, December 7Th our front trim on the window will finally be repaired. It's only been about a year and half that we have known about this problem. It's only been about 3 weeks since I contracted a few contractors. And finally I got a reasonable quote. Work should start on the 7Th, unless we get a blizzard in Maryland. Hopefully I will be on my way to checking a few things off my list!
