Stay tuned, it will show up on ElliNude.com in the next couple of days :)
For dinner tonight: Chicken thighs baked in white wine, covered with sun dried tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Broccoli and rice on the side. Who wants some? :)

So tonight I made him some of my own impromptu sausage -- a spaghetti sauce with Portugese Chorizo sausage, mushrooms, zucchini, olives, onion, and tomatoes in a chicken broth with a splash of Balkan style yogurt.
We loved it with a bottle of our home-bottled Valpolicella, which is coming to maturity gracefully.
Then somehow we got sidetracked on YouTube and ended up watching an hour of Ayrton Senna onboard videos, then F1 engine testing videos with the glowing pipes, then we ended up on Bugatti madness which led to turbo'd Skylines. Bring on Bahrain!

We picked up our new addition to the family, a little rat terrier named Daisy, on Saturday afternoon. She's eight weeks old and as beautiful as sunshine. She smells like sour milk around her ears. Sometimes her feet smell like poop when she isn't careful where she walks outside. Her ears flop like a proper terrier and her eyes follow us at every turn.
She's started on the raw diet mixed with her puppy kibble. She's getting a little spoon of raw ground chicken with bone and some hot water twice a day and she loves it! Her coat is super shiny.
We've been taking her out to pee once an hour, and that seems to work well. She's only had one accident in the house since Saturday night, not counting her overnights.
Overnights are still an issue. She sleeps in a banker box with a side cut out filled with an old jacket and her toys. She falls asleep just fine (she sleeps most of the day, too!) It's when she wakes up alone in the laundry room that she starts crying. A couple times she's snuffled herself back to sleep, but mostly she gets louder and louder until it sounds like someone is enacting a brutal Rat Terrier Sacrifice at the stroke of midnight in our laundry room. She actually *screams.* So then I get up and go and sit with her until she falls asleep again. Saturday night this only happened twice. Sunday night it was at 12am, 1:30am, 2:15am, 2:45am, 4am, 5:15am, and at 6:15am I let her stay up and just fed her breakfast.
Oddly, we're getting dirty looks from friends who think we should be letting the dog sleep in our bedroom or even our bed! I'm sorry, but I want a dog who is a) ok with being alone, and b) able to be locked out of our bedroom without crying to get in. I don't care if it's trendy to have three dogs under the sheets with you. That's not my house.
She's very smart! She was taught her name by the breeder, so that was very handy. But she already kind of does "sit" and we're teaching her "dance" and "jump" and she already knows "Daisy's bed" means get in your bed and be quiet if you want attention.
We love her to bits. Welcome home, Daisy!

The flowers in the back yard are a different story. There's tons of budding and sprouting going on back there! I never knew pussy willows started as yellow fuzz. Did you? Unfortunately the back yard is still super soggy. We haven't been able to mow it yet, even. Not sure how this is going to work out if it's a wet summer. Hm.
And of course the thought foremost in my mind: we're getting our puppy on Saturday! I can't wait to see her and squeeze her and love her and smoosh her! Well, not smoosh, really. But she will get lots of cuddles, that's for sure!
I've been without a dog since my old girl Missy went to the Rainbow Bridge in 2007. We decided to go dogless for at least a year, just to be able to travel and take weekend trips without worries. Well, I have to admit I did enjoy the experiment. But it was about a year ago that I started researching dog breeds to find the perfect one for our little family. And in December we settled on a breed and found a breeder and picked out our little girl when she was born. And now she's ready to bring home!
This will be the most photographed and video'd dog in history, I am pretty darned sure. :)
Here she is as of two weeks ago:

I was just enjoying the CNN.com international website today and noticed the top menu bar offers many regional choices:
US
World
Africa
Asia
Europe
Latin America
Middle East
So am I to assume that because there is no "North America" regional choice, that Canada and Mexico are rattling around in the "World" section? How odd that the US is now a region along the same lines of Africa or Latin America!
Really? I mean, really?

It feels relieving. Like I'm finally letting go of a past person in life. My Revenue Canada audit is gone, my old year spent in Tucson, AZ is gone, a portion of the house I owned is gone. Now I'm finally here, you know? Here. Not there.
I wish you all a good night.

Congratulations Team Canada and to all the other winners at the Games! There have been some amazing performances so far! Watching the snowboarding halfpipe today was a rush. Those are tricks that you used to only see in the video games!
On a side note, spring is officially here. The cherry trees are starting to blossom. So the portion of the world who is visiting Vancouver will get to see our lovely pink snow soon. How very exciting!
As Shane Koyczan said:
let this country be your first-aid kit
for all the times you get sick of the same old same old
let us be the story told to your friends
and when that story ends
leave chapters for the next time you'll come back
next time pack for all the things
you didn't pack for the first time
but don't let your luggage define your travels
each life unravels differently
and experiences are what make up
the colours of our tapestry
we are the true north
strong and free
and what's more
is that we didn't just say it
we made it be.
