If you’ve been following along this year, you know I’ve read a ton (I’m at 175 and I’d like to finish at least five more in the next 13 days—I passed my original goal of 125 in August). I still have hundreds on my list, but I enjoyed all of the recommendations I got last year—so I did it again! Here are the 12 books recommended to me by 12 friends!
So regal.
Does your Boston make this sound?
I love their silent fighting
Waiting for me to play tug.

It’s a two-fer (fur) cuddle!
Once upon a time there was a girl…
Tom picked up our box o’ deer today.
We were somewhat disappointed that we didn’t get any steaks—we must have read the form wrong. But we have lots of ground and the other things we asked for like jerky and sausages.
This just makes me smile.
How does this always happen?
You know how I told you how Owen always manages to be behind something at a concert? The stage was empty when I got there. I had my pick of pretty much any seat in the auditorium. And this still happens.
Back is at it again.
OMGGGGG Y’ALL. So I hurt my back yesterday just doing housework prepping for the cleaners…but I took an Oxy which pretty much made me forget about it.
Fast forward to the middle of the night when I woke up and couldn’t move! Freaked me out until I realized that the Oxy had just worn off and my back was super sore again—and it was just tough to move.
Stayed in bed laying down because it didn’t hurt if I wasn’t moving. Got out of bed at 9 to take another Oxy and sat on the couch hoping to take a nap until it started working…but the dogs kept playing and making noise and jumping on me and waking me up. So I kept floating in and out of sleep.
Guess who’s JUST NOW finally getting up?! OMG it’s almost 2:30.
And look who FINALLY settled down now that I need to get up.
I feel like these need their own special category.
MOM ARE YOU UP YET?!
THIS FACE!
I love how tiny her feet look.
My first day of trying bifocals
How long did it take you to get used to them? I’m feeling nauseous after about 35 minutes. The line per se doesn’t bother me, but what does bother me is that I can see the difference in my peripheral vision.
Olive is a long dog
Football carry!
Olive didn’t mind this at all.

Friday Fave: acrylic drawers
I’m a glutton for storage things—and when I discovered these drawers, I was hooked! At the time I had a super small vanity with very little space…so I needed to build upward! And these were perfect for that! Now I have a bigger vanity so they aren’t as high, but I still use all of them.
I highly recommend these for countertop storage.
We can never see him well
Owen had a jazz concert tonight. We could barely see him from our seats because he was behind a music stand. We can’t even see him on the photo that was published on Facebook.
Can you spot him?
That said, they sounded great and he loves every minute of it!
Not quite what I wanted…
This is what I wanted going in.
This is what I looked like before.
My stylist said she hated to color my hair because she loved its natural color. I said I didn’t really care—I just wanted something a little different. We decided to do some highlights in that color.
After. Unfortunately you could barely see why color at all and we decided next time to do a ton more.
THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE
THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE AND YOU SHOULD GET RID OF THEM IMMEDIATELY BY SENDING THEM TO ME.
How can you not love this shreepy face?
BOOP!
Cute little Boston snores
Typical Boston play
Working with dad is RUFF.
It took three tries
Anna crocheted a hat…
Betcha didn’t think it would be for the dogs!
