Vacation!

Brian will probably kill me when he reads this because he has to work today and tomorrow. :-(

Gatsby and I have had a fantastic and relaxing first day of Christmas vacation. We were up pretty early because Gatsby likes to eat his breakfast at the same time everyday. Per usual, he had the same mix of chicken, rice, liver, wheat, and some other stuff. Afterward, we did our first chore of the day and watered the Christmas tree. (I watered and Gatsby helped drink the water as I poured.)

We then made an executive decision that we'd done too much work for the day, so he decided to play with his toys while I did the crossword puzzle and watched my DVR copy of Private Practice. Gatsby helped me with some of the hard crossword puzzle clues; with one human and one doggie brain, we got the puzzle finished.

Gatsby continued to play while I watched Rachael Ray, The View, and the noon news. I had a salad for lunch and lil G had liver treats.

We've spent the afternoon watching soap operas and Gatsby has been taking a nap in front of the fireplace.

I LOVE BEING ON VACATION and having a husband with a normal working schedule where he can actually take vacation too!
