I am a pretty upbeat person, but for whatever reason, this week has been tough.  I mean, TOUGH.

Have you ever heard people say, picture your happy place?  Well, I am going to put that to the test, and fingers crossed, it will work.  I love warm weather, beaches, tropical drinks, and sun kissed skin, so this is pretty much my happy place.  Not even sure where it is – let’s pretend some fabulous beach in the Mediterranean!  I will go here someday…

Picturing myself there right…….. now.

One of my more recent obsessions revolves around getting a puppy.  Not yet any puppy, a Cavelier King Charles Spaniel.  The conversation goes something like this:

Me: “Oh my god, honey, look at that dog!!  Soo cute!!”
Kris: “Yeah, it’s cute”
Me: “Oh my gosh, I NEED that dog in my life – can you imagine how much fun we’d have taking it on long walks, teaching it tricks, and snuggling with it on the couch?”
Kris: “Pretty cute. I’m hungry, where do you want to eat?”
Me: “No but really, I feel like our lives would be so complete with a dog.  And my office is dog friendly – I could bring it to work so it wouldn’t be home alone!”
Kris: “A dog is a huge responsibility outside of the obvious fact that our building doesn’t allow dogs”
Me: “That is such a minor detail – our landlord loves me”

And so on… and so on…

I mean, LOOK that that little face!  What a muffin!!  I will slowly but surely wear Kris down… if only I can get our names on a few waiting lists, he will cave!
