This Week

This week has been so crazy. I have a feeling as we get closer and closer to primaries and the general election we are going to have fewer and fewer moments of peace. There is always something to do, some mailer that needs to go out, some one calling. This is only the beginning! But I would like to play a little catch up.

As I may or may not have said (memory fails me), Lucas and I went to Guadalajara Monday night for Cinco de Mayo after my tennis match and I wanted to upload our photos. We had wanted to go to La Alameda with the Ratleys but there was no time after tennis. Our little mini-date was fun!

Last night Lucas worked late AGAIN. When he got home I had dinner ready: burritos and chips /salsa. After we ate, we took Rafa to PetSmart to get a few things he needed and spend his gift card that Rocky had given him. :) So we bought him a new black leather collar with little studs (not the pointy ones b/c those scare me). Now he has a manly collar! Here is his new collar... you have no idea how hard it was to get this shot of the collar that isn't even good!
We also bought him some eyedrops. Rafa has been squinting a lot and his eye is kind of red. When we went to the vet last weekend it had only happened once and they didn't think it was a big deal. Now that it has happened several times I think we may take him back for them to have a look. We'll see how these eyedrops work first even though Rafa hates them! Here I am trying to settle him down to put them in his eye.
I also bought Rafa a little greenie for his teeth (but we haven't given it to him yet) and a cute little coat that was on sale. Lucas says I am not allowed to put it on him or take a picture of him wearing it until next winter. But I just had to buy it because it was so cute and such a great deal! We had originally gone to PetSmart to buy Rafa a bed but they didn't have any that we really liked. We went next door to Target and as soon as we hit the aisle I spotted the bed I wanted for little Rafa. And he loves it! He was playing in it with his toys (and Lucas's sock) as soon as we got home! Here he is resting! So cute!
We also bought him a retractable leash at Target. Oh, and I almost forgot one of the most important things I bought at Target:
Yes, they are glorious and they are MINE! I am enjoying every last minute of not having braces. I am scared to death to tell you the truth. Tomorrow afternoon I will have braces! :(

On another note, a fundraiser we are helping with was moved from Thursday to Friday night and I have to help. Do you know what this means? I will celebrate my first few moments in braces with important, business people who I'll have to talk to. Great! Jumping in head first!
