A Typical Summer Day For Us

Our summer mornings start like this:

(Read the post, I mean.) My summer morning doesn’t start with a booze walk. Or does it? ….

We (Harlow and I) get up around 6:40 a.m., go downstairs, I say, “do you want your breakfast?” And then he does his breakfast dance and I love it more than I probably should. His breakfast dance includes wiggling his butt and shoulders while I get his “omelet” ready. And his omelet includes a mix of dry dog food with some raw meat log on top.

Raw meat log. Doesn’t that just sound good?! I’m not sure if that’s the actual name, I buy it at the pet store by our house and it’s in the refrigerated section and vets rave about how good it is for your dog. Harlow LOVES it. He loves it to the point where he won’t even touch his dry food without a little meat log sprinkled on top, which is slightly annoying… but what Harlow wants, Harlow gets.

I think it was while googling, “how to make your dog live forever,” when I learned that one of the biggest (controllable) factors in life span for dogs is their diet. And then I went off the deep end and started buying only organic food (which I don’t even buy for myself) and insisting Harlow takes 5-7 vitamins a day (I don’t take any.)

Truthfully, the main reason I sling t-shirts as hard as I do is so Har can afford the finer things in life.

But I just went off on a tangent, where was I again? Oh yes, our summer mornings.

It’s breakfast, then coffee, then park time, all before 7:30 a.m. And every time I slip on my sandals and jean shorts to go to the park I think to myself, man I love summer. It’s just so much easier than winter. Do you know what a process it is to get straight out of bed and put on boots and a coat and a scarf, gloves and hat just so Harlow can take his morning potty break? It’s the worst. Simply writing it makes me cringe.

Thus the inspiration for today’s post. It all stemmed from me being at the park with Har at 7:00 a.m. this morning, with the sun beating down on us, temps already 80 degrees, freshly mowed grass sticking to my sandals, and just taking it all in. Summer is the best.

But don’t be fooled, the fear of winter is always there, ask any Chicagoan. It’s constantly lurking in the back of our minds… winter is coming…. it’s coming.

After park time we go back home and it’s tempting not to jump straight into emails. But I usually force myself to write in my “crazy lady dream/mantra/goal book” for at least a few minutes. It helps to clear my mind and set some good intentions for the day (at least that’s what I tell myself.)

But once that’s done I dive straight into emails. 70% are from t-shirt customers, 20% blog related, and 10% random AF.

More emails. Then a blog post (hopefully.) Maybe a quick pilates class (maybe.) And then another Har walk.

Lunch is always at home, typically some sort of fish or an egg bowl. (Unless I had too much wine the night before, then it’s usually a Potbelly kinda day.)

More emails. Filling orders. Shooting product photos. Facebook posts. Gazing into Harlow’s eyes. More emails. And everyday I tell myself I’ll get to the coffee shop around 3:00 to write for a bit. And yet 3:00 rolls around and I find myself still doing something t-shirt related. It never ends (and it’s a great distraction from writing.)

And by 4:00 when I’m drained, Har and I like to go on what we call our “stress walk.” It’s that time in the day where we’ve both had enough (Har gets very stressed watching for alley cats all day) so we go out to take a breath of fresh air and re-strategize for the night.

Okay full disclosure, today was another day where I had writers block so I just kinda jumped in to what would happen and omg I feel like this got so boring. I’m SORRY.

Blah blah blah, I work from the couch with wine until about 9:00 or so, then TV, then more blah blah.

Long story short, my day is mostly emails and Harlow. And how could I not feel happy about this? Just look at the face I get to stare at all day.

Oh man, this dopey smile brings me so much joy. On that note, it’s time for another Har walk.

      MY EX IS FINALLY BACK TO ME

      I was so depressed when my ex left me for another woman. it made me felt like i was not relevant and my heart and love life was seriously destroyed. i could not concentrate in anything i was doing. i went online and searched for help but could not find any genuine spell caster until i went to Ocala Florida to visit my aunt to ease the depression and loneliness. when i got to Florida, i explained to my aunt who then felt pity for me and told me the secret she have not told anyone about the success in her marriage with her man. she then took me to the temple of powerful Dr. Ugo Wonders whom i met and explained my problems to. he promised to help me because of my aunt. i trusted his words and provided him with the materials needed to help me get my ex back and to my greatest surprise, after 48 hours of casting the spell, my Ex cam back on his knees begging for me to forgive him. i was shocked and surprised at the magic. we are happily married now and everything is working fine with us.I promised Dr. Ugo that i will never keep this a secret because he brought back my life and my world and that i will hare my testimony to the general public.
      My advice goes to any one out there who is emotionally depressed or having any similar relationship problem, to contact Dr. Ugo wonders the ultimate spell caster via his direct email [email protected] or call his temple line on +1 386-336-9876 he is the best in Florida….

    I love that you love your dog so much! Very lucky pooch! Although no idea how you get up that early. I'm a zombie if I rise before 9am!

    Your days sound pretty good. I wish I was better at not getting distracted by social media, reading blogs, and watching Hulu when I'm actually trying to get work done. Like right now.

    haha har is pretty cute, and no your day does not sound boring.

    So, I have a little bit of a confession and I hope I don't sound mean at first, but I promise I have a point.

    I've read your blog for a couple of years now and Harlow IS super cute and all. But I've always just thought, "Holy crap, this lady is seriously too obsessed with her dog." I wasn't trying to be judgmental or anything, I just really didn't understand. I mean, my roommate has two dogs I really enjoy and my mom's dogs are fine. But holy cow, I just didn't understand what you were doing.

    BUT THEN. My brother and sister-in-law went out of town last week and I'm taking care of their house, cat, and two Shih tzus while they're away. The dogs are Mia, who they've had for about 4 years, and Shirley, who they just got a couple of months ago, but she's a rescue and a couple of years old.

    I've been there a week and have a week left to go and I am totally in love with Shirley. Like, it makes me sad in the morning when I have to leave for work because I just want to hang out with her (and Mia) ALL DAY LONG. I cancelled plans the other night because I wanted to hang out with my brother's dogs.

    So I just wanted to tell you that I totally get it. And I'm sorry for judging.

    The raw food log is what Brody gets too! His morning breakfast is (expensive) dry food, the log and cheese. Then in the evening he gets a half scoop of try and cheese.

    I love that there are other dog people out there like me.

    Hi my name is Kate Clancy, I’m 24 years old. My ex boyfriend he broke up with me 5 weeks ago. I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant. We were together for 7 years (engaged the last). The day he broke up with me he said he “wanted to find himself, wanted to be free, and was confused if he still wanted to be with me or not.” I was devastated but was cool and calm because he’s been dealing with depression for 4 years and I think the news of our pregnancy broke him. I knew he was unhappy with himself because he got in a real bad car accident 4 years ago that changed his life. He lost his football scholarship, the chance to go to school, and hasn’t been able to find a job. When he broke up with me he said that he loves me and always will love me. When he decided to split I decided I wouldn’t contact him because he wanted space, but he calls me at least once a day to check on me. At times he offers to do favors for me like being me things when I’m sick and wash my car. I agree to let him do these things for me because I miss him so much and it seems like everytime I see him he still kisses me and tells me he loves me. He still wants to go to all our sons check up and I do invite him to them. I’m trying to be strong but his actions are confusing me. This was the guy I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with.i was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help get ex back fast. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it, then he did a Lover-spell for me. 28 hours later, my bf came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my bf are living together happily again..All thanks to Dr Unity. If you have any problem contact Dr.Unity now and i guarantee you that he will help you..Email him at: [email protected] ,you can also call him or add him on whats-app:+2348071622464 ,his website:http://unityspelltemple.webs.com

    My ultimate goals in life was to startup a family with a man who permanently wants me always as the only woman in his life, a man that only wants a future with me and his desires to be with and around me to be uncontrollable. A man that will turn a deaf ear to nothing or anyone trying to separate us.
    My goals where achieved 2 years ago; I must confess that our marriage was fine until someone somewhere started interfering, pushing and putting negative thoughts in his head out of envy. As days goes by, the atmosphere around us looked fine and automatically did a complete 360, we went from living together, talking, texting and such all-day every-day to barely anything at all. We separated because of the rumor that I couldn’t bear a child. It was a lie told by someone who envied our peaceful marriage.
    I sought the help of Dr. Wakina via ([email protected]) according to reviews I read online and on radio about his work. I found total justice, redemption and restoration through his love spell after months of broken heart. Our enemies where proven wrong the moment my husband comeback to me. I believe there will also go blind after seeing me pregnant.
    All hail Dr. Wakina for reinstituting my marriage.

    This is certainly a shocking and a genuine Testimony. I visited a forum here on the internet on the 8TH OF APRIL 2017, And I saw a marvelous testimony of this powerful great spell caster called DR Omoluyi on the forum. I never believed it, because I've never heard nor learnt anything about magic before. Not a soul would have been able to influence me about spells, not until i visited ( [email protected] ) and behold he did it for me and restored my marriage of 6 years back to me and brought my spouse back to me within 12 to 16 hours just as I have read on the forum.. I was truly astonished and shocked when my husband knelt down begging me for forgiveness to accept him back. I am really short of expressions, and I don't know how much to convey my appreciation to you DR Omoluyi, you are a God sent to me and my entire family. Visit him today via Email and Website on ( [email protected] ) or [ http://www.doctorokpamenspells.com ]. Am Lori Dante by name.

    Amazing love spell that work fast. My husband is the love of my life and I’ve always been attracted to him. We’ll be married 17 years this June. Recently I found out he was having an affair with another woman for about a few months. I was devastated. I honestly didn’t think he was capable of that. At first when i confronted him he was sorry and said he still loved me and wanted to work things out. That they were just friends messing around but he’ll stop. I found it strange though that he wouldn’t cut him off even after I asked him to. Eventually I caught him again messaging each other and he basically made up his mind that he’s not happy in our marriage and wants to be with his girlfriend. I was crushed… I hope I’ll get over this. The pain really really sucks like a part of you is lost. It’s the whole “I love you but not in love with you thing”. I’m pretty sure he’s gonna want a divorce soon. We also have 2 kids and it’s tearing them apart:i have been crying all my life hoping my husband could change for good i love and adore my husband coz he mean the whole world to me, i have ask for help from different places but all they do is take my money with out any good result i was so frustrated that i was about to give up on him and fight to accept that he is gone forever. one very good morning i was chatting with a friend of my on facebook there i come across this amazing and wonderful testimony on how a lady got her ex back save her marriage with the help of love spell, generated and cast by Dr happy i was so very happy to see the good work of this spell caster so i directly and urgently email him, do all he ask of me and today by his power i can testify that my husband is back home again with out signing the divorce paper any more he really show me that there is a second chance in life am so very happy to have my husband back if you have any similar problem as my, fine it difficult to get pregnant, get your ex back and fix your broken marriage contact him http://happyspelltemple.webs.com/ for more details email…[email protected] or add him on whats-app +2348133873774

There is a great spell caster called Dr IyaryI who can really solve all your problems. Getting my lover back is what i can't imagine but when I was losing my husband Cohen. I needed help and somewhere to turn badly but my Cousin told me about this spell caster who also helped her on the internet. I thought it won't work but i just tried to give this man a chance and i ordered a LOVE SPELL. Two days later, my phone rang. Cohen was his old self again and wanted to come back to me!

    After being in relationship with him for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: [email protected] you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.

    Return Lost Love Spells That Really Work
    “LOVE, Happiness, Care is the key fo LIFE”. That was the word from Dr happy when I consulted his powerful Love Spell. I married the wrong man; I realized that after Three years of our unfruitful marriage. Everything was going from Best to Worst in our life, no child, I got demoted from work after our marriage, my husband was sacked a year after. His application for new job in various offices was constantly declined even though he was qualified enough. I was made to take care of my family with the low income I earn get that wasn’t enough to pay our rent. We keep praying a seeking for help from some people, my friends laugh at me behind because I was advised not to get married yet.It was one Thursday night that my husband woke me up and told me that has thought enough about our crisis, he said that our crisis is not ordinary and it’s beyond our spiritual level. He suggested we should consult Dr happy from testimonies he showed me online about how he has been helping families. I was afraid, I don’t like evil or spell but I supported him to contact him if he can help us. We consulted him via [email protected] and he replied positively after 20munites with congratulating email that he can help us but he will need our pure heart and trusts in his work if he will cast the spell on us and purify our life. We agreed to his terms. He cast the spell and told us to expect results within 5days. I waited for three days nothing happened, so I started having doubt and blaming my husband for emailing Dr happy. It was on the fifth day that my husband was called for an interview and he got a well-paying work, I was prompted to a higher position. I missed my period on the 5th day and it was confirmed that I am with a baby. Things have really changed for us for good and we now have our own house and cars. I will never forget what Dr happy told us “LOVE is the key fo LIFE”, this word keep me going. People that laughed at us are coming close for help and I am delighted to welcome them because my family is now blessed. Dr happy is a savior and man that keep to his word even when I doubted his powers at the end of the spell. Thank to your Oracle for helping us plz contact him http://happyspelltemple.webs.com/ for more details email…[email protected] or add him on whats-app +2348133873774
