Good morning! It’s good to be home! I missed my guys so much!
I’m off to a super early dentist appointment this morning, so I prepared most of this post last night on the flight home to Beantown.
We didn’t have a single fruit (or veggie!) in the whole house for breakfast, so I made due with what we had. I ended up toasting two Van’s Waffles and smearing peanut butter and jam on top. Not a horrible breakfast.
I’m sure my morning will included coffee at some point too.
I love Murphy
Mal sent me these photos of Murphy over the weekend, and I just had to share because they’re such polar opposites.
Adorable, could-be-a-model pug:
Funny-looking, old man pug:
I love my dog!

Question of the Day
What’s your favorite holiday?
Mine is probably Thanksgiving! Not surprising, right? 😉 Of course, I love the food, but I also love being with family and seeing friends at our mini-reunion in our hometown each year.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday: food, football, Macys Day Parade, and a day off afterwards without the stress of Christmas.
My favorite holiday is a tie between Thanksgiving and Christmas. They are both so filled with family time and good food! Those pictures are so cute! I have a pug also. His name is Tank. How old is Murphy?
@Abbey: He’s a little over 5 months.
my fave is x-mas, mainly because my bday is x-mas eve. i push it to the high levels of merriment!
Love the Murphy pics!!!! My favorite Holiday is Bunker Hill Day. It is only celebrated in Boston. Here is the history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Bunker_Hill
There is a race and a parade that day, followed by food, drink, friends and family…can’t go wrong!
I love the contrast in the MP pics. He’s adorable and looks like he loves to ham it up for the camera 🙂
I had no fruit in the house for a couple of days and had to make due on frozen bananas in Green Monsters. I went nuts.
can’t wait to hear more about your details from NYC!
