Absolute s*&t week however…
OK, so YES I did put all of my dogs into costumes for Halloween. They were not happy and when they were out of costume, I took these photos of them. It was an absolute shit week however after a few thousand times of tossing the tennis ball to Max and belly rubs for Peanut and Madison my weekend was OK. I took max to the Canine Ranch in Canton, GA and will post a video soon of his first attempt at sheep herding. Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6F45iI1nAA
It took 4.5 hours of Iyengar, a few episodes of 30 Rock and a day of sheep herding to get me to try to put the week behind me. After discussion with my dr, I have to increase my meds for my adrenal issues. This means I will get some relief from the exhaustion and joint pain but with the small side effect of anxiety attacks. Great. Then of course there was that small incident where I was emailed a sample contract for review on a job where I was low bidder and pre qualified and by mid week find out that the contract may have been awarded to my competition?!? WHAT? Huh? Mind you, no one had any questions or issues for me regarding time, mobilization, experience, etc.. Just suddenly ~ poof! Mind you it takes DAYS and sometimes weeks of hard work to put together estimates on this type of work and NO ONE other than the consultant was more well studied in this building and the roof system. All I could do was scramble and react instead of being proactive. Funny, I thought great price, professionalism and astonishing reputation was proactive. All I know is that if this did in fact happen, then something very dirty and unprofessional went on behind my back and although I am focused on other estimates, I will find out everything that happened and will use that information appropriately.
So there it is. I need to find some inner peace. I need to find a way to make my health the priority no matter what is going on around me. Since I can’t keep Max in a Superman suit or Peanut in her hot dog outfit, perhaps I should take a day off and get a massage…

More nice pics.
Included with the pics of the pets I really admire your choices in interior design. It almost makes me wonder in you also dual majored in architecture and design?
Although personally I would have tried a candlestick table with more of a lionsfoot design; and perhaps a version of an Oriental carpet – which can in some cases conflict with pets
@Nixon101 - now you are just using shameless flattery! BTW I would have considered a candlestick table however it is a long view from the dining room through the sitting room to the fireplace and that would have impeded the view of the fireplace. Also the furniture is more modern and espresso colored so I did have a nice claw foot table that I wound up having to let go of
. When I moved 2.5 yrs ago, I had to do a 180 in taste for the size of the house and how I use it. Intown 1930′s bungalow I remodeled so much with more modern features that I got rid of a lot of my traditional items (still have one or two to let go of but this is a process). All I can say is thank GOD for craigslist to make this all possible! ;) For example, It hurt to get rid of my very nice 4 poster bed as it didn’t fit in my bedroom (ceiling too low for it and fan) but the new upholstered bed is nice and cozy for reading. Positives everywhere.
