It was a long-ass week.  Like, last night I did tequila shots, whiskey on the rocks, and beer, while watching strangers sing karaoke, and I don’t remember leaving the bar at all.  It was exactly what I needed.  (And we walked, in case you were concerned about my driving and inebriation habits.)

Last weekend, I missed Lazy Sunday because I had adopted a dog the prior Wednesday.  Dogs are an adorable little timesuck.  Unfortunately, Sunday night I had a grand-scale, terrifying asthma and allergy explosion brought on by the dog.  Luckily for all of us, he was an adorable Pomeranian mix, so despite having to go back to the shelter, he found a new home right away.  So we’ll see, maybe once we’re settled in a new city, Steve and I will consider trying to find a Bichon to adopt, since I know those little dudes don’t set my allergies off, or we may just enjoy having small furries for the time being.

Despite how behind I am on blog reading – my plan is to catch up on schoolwork on Monday and use Tuesday to blog plan and read – I was able to find some pretty exciting content for this week’s post.  Thank God for other bloggers having their shit together, because this semester, I sure don’t.

& I love looking at Keiko Lynn’s weekly Instagram recap.  Partly because she’s gorgeous, and partly because I like to live vicariously through her.

& Kaelah got married yesterday!  I’ve been keeping up with her wedding prep, and I’m just so excited for her, Mike, and little Toby.  I just with Georgia and Pip had been in the ceremony.

& Have you heard about The Totally Awesome Blog Hop?  I’m going to need to participate in this!

& Carmen posted a recipe for Fideo, which is apparently Mexican pasta.  I was skeptical, but after looking at the photos and the ingredient list, I think I’m gonna be a Mexican pasta convert.

& Epiphora’s 4th Blogiversary is complete with a mega-giveaway: fifteen prizes.  FIFTEEN.  And they’re all items that she personally endorses, so you know this stuff is good.  Go enter!
