Well my cup certainly hath been running over. This isn't a bitch and moan post since pretty much everything in my life is wonderful. Who can complain about that??

But my life is certainly overflowing. I started up working on a website outside of work, which is taking a good bit of time and my mom and sister recently joined my gym, so there are a lot of group workout sessions which lead to a bit more wait time or time spent at the gym. Plus, now that the holiday season is upon us, I have loads of holiday projects to work on.

Ooh … that reminds me. I really should make a fall theme for the site. And a Christmas one. And a Winter one…

I mentioned last week that I bought some sort of army case at the flea market I went to. Well, after a bit of work, it is my new handy-dandy scrapbooking case.

I started by painting all of the metal bits with some spray paint. I had to mask off the cloth parts using painters tape and target bags (they are a bit more heavy duty than grocery bags). Then I made up a bunch of graphics and printed them up on my office's color laser (I paid for the copies, thank you very much … hehe) and then I cut them out and decoupaged them on the outside and sprayed a coat of clear polyurethane to protect. I can add more if I want … sort of making my scrapbooking case look like a scrapbook itself. I like that idea.

Taking Loki just about anywhere is an experience. He doesn't like to stay in the back. He likes to climb on your lap (this is actually Loki's mantra 24/7, but who's counting?). Luckily, my lovely little Honda CR-V has some metal rings in the back, probably for tying down cargo, so we use them to tie down Loki, strapping his leash through it and clipping it into his collar. It works pretty well …. but I flipped when Matt sent me this article about my favorite car maker, Honda, making a car specifically for dogs!! It's just an exhibition sort of thing right now, but I so hope they put them into production. For little dogs, they have a glovebox area where your pooch can ride in style as well as a pop-up crate in the back. For bigger dogs, there are harnesses. The doors open wide and the whole vehicle is easy to clean … and even has paw-prints embedded on the tire treads. How cute is that? Continue reading “LokiMobile”
