back with a vengeance.

So... it's been quite awhile... there has been a lot going on, so this might be rather lengthy. I'll try to portion in out through the next few entries. Some stuff I still have no words for. But we also went away for awhile, so that kept me busy. Plus, my procrastinating side was taking pictures but didn't take the time to edit and upload them...

I've been slowly trucking away at traveling rhinos' things... more on that at the traveling rhinos blog if you're interested. We've also been taking pictures of our favorite ms. daisy, of course. Here she is looking tired of having her picture taken:
The big time-drainer was our trip to Philadelphia for the lovely wedding of our happy friends ms. s and mr. v.... now mr. & mrs. v! except she's not changing her name... BUT this was not an all-fun trip; I did the reception centerpieces as well as the boutonnieres, corsages and bouquets. It was fun but sorta stressful too... here are a couple shots of the final products, which I'm pretty happy about:

On the left we've got the blushing bride's bouquet, and on the right the strapping groomsmens' boutonnieres...

But the wedding was WONDERFUL... so much joy and their families were so FUN! Lots of gettin' down by people you might not normally imagine getting down. While in Philly we did also manage to get some cheesesteaks at King's the "original" cheesesteak place, and we did drag ourselves out Saturday after the wedding for some historical siteseeing at Independence Hall. Here's me looking like HELL in front of morimoto, Philadelphia restaurant of IRON CHEF MASAHARU MORIMOTO.

We REALLY wanted to eat here, but with the craziness leading up to the wedding Friday, we didn't get on top of making reservations... and then when dinner rolled around we were too exhausted to deal with getting back to morimoto... so we ended up having dinner at Roy's, which was very yummy... I was nice enough to let mr. d have the seared ahi (tuna) for once, and we definitely had the HOT CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE too... I may have had my own dessert as well... :)

Since getting to Philly was such a trial (a LONG story for another time), we were relieved that we got back without any issues on Sunday at lunchtime. We got to pick up a very-missed mz. day-z at the kennel, where we were presented with a new Halloween jack-o-lantern covered bandanna for her. More pictures on that later this week.

And OF COURSE, mr. d came back with a cold, which he promptly spent the last three days trying to give to me. I have managed to fight it off, mostly by sleeping a lot. Ugh. Getting back into a normal routine is rougher than I thought it would be...

At least I'm surrounded by cuteness while I work...
