Mine is the router that drops in and out.

Mine is the internet that’s locked to a public that wouldn’t want it anyway.

Mine is the router that finally died.

We once thought it was dandy, but that was before it fell hard to the floor.

It fell once, it fell twice,

it sputtered and coughed. Now it’s suffering is over.

And we are free from it’s tormenting wails! Oh, happy day!

Though now, our addiction grows all too apparent.

Who will update our statuses? Who will LOL at those kittehs? Who will post on my blog?!

Alas, for now we cannot know.

It is time to get a new router. Our interwebs will live again!

For anyone who doesn’t see me regularly, I wanted to show off my dog, Captain. (Captain Flint, officially) He’s the most cuddly, beautiful, quirky dog ever! All he ever wants to do is be right where we are. We love him. How could you not?! Big and white and mine. No, you can’t have him.

My favorite thing is his golden eyes. They’re very unique and extremely expressive. Not to mention those white eyelashes!

Captain is a Wolf-Dog. Or Wolf Hybrid, as they’re sometimes called. (timber wolf and gray wolf) He’s probably about %20 wolf. (though there isn’t really any way to tell) He’s also got oodles of malemute and husky. Honestly, the percentages don’t matter. He’s just a part of the family. We got him at 3 months old, and he grew and grew!! When standing next to me, his back is about at about my hips. The Captain is really fun to walk; I get lots of double takes. Heh heh heh.

And, lucky for me, he’s only a year old. I get to have him for many years to come.

I made a little Captain video. Because I like visual aids.

The music is “Remy Drives a Linguini” by Michael Giacchino from Ratatouille.

A side note – This is not a breed for beginner dog owners! Or for anyone who is impatient. As wonderful as The Captain is, he’s a lot of work. He needs a lot of attention, discipline, exercise, and loves. So, just in case anyone out there thinks they want one, just do me a favor. Do your research! There are so many different breeds of dog, all wonderful in their own way, and you have to match the breed to your personality and lifestyle. …Ok, sorry. Lecture over.

He’s such a sweet dog. We’re so lucky to have found him! (yay KSL) One day, I’m sure I’ll end up getting a little friend for him. Perhaps a border collie or a golden retriever. Only time will tell!

How about you people? Any dogs, cats, rodents, or reptiles at home? I love them all, so do tell!!

Ok, so this is really just a “Hey, check this out” post. This is just one of those small things that make me happy.

As part of my Spring Cleaning, I bought these magnetic spice jars for the side of my fridge. I love them! Everything looks clean, organized, modern. Really easy to get to! It’s such a great idea. The lids have little holes in one place so that you can turn them and sprinkle the right amount. (or you can just pop the lid off and go wild) I got two sets, and I already want two more! It saves a lot of space in the cupboards where they were. Smart and attractive organization is the easiest way to relax me. Aaaaaahhhhhhh…..

I also got these clear labels to stick on the side. Very handy! I can already feel it inspiring me to cook more often.

Just one of many, many things on my list to be more organized this Spring.
