its a beautiful day in the neighborhood

still snowed in here. still rockin the pajamas....wait...what am i saying?...i wear pajamas all the time anyway. no change there. haha. today has been uneventful. however, miserable. i did not sleep a wink last night. well, i slept some, but it was the most uncomfortable sleep i have ever gotten. i had "hibby jibbies". thats what i call it anyway. i think the technical term may be restless legs. i was itching so terribly bad and my legs just would not relax. i would calm down and they would just jump! spasm! jerk! ohhh it was awful. mom came in my room to check on me and tried to rub my legs to relax them, with no luck. i would relax...then JUMP! it was involuntary. i just couldn't help it. but after hours of tossing and turning i finally fell asleep (not sure what time but i remember seeing 2AM on my clock) and once i was asleep all of the benadryl caught up with me and i was able to sleep through to the morning. the rash has spread. and is HOT on my skin. i feel like acid is on me. im taking benardryl like it is going out of style (of course not overdosing. duh.) but im trying to alleviate the pain. and really thats all i can take nonprescription. anyway, enough grumbling. im sorry. moving on.

i went outside this morning and took Bo and Buttons. it seemed much warmer today because the sun was out. Bo and Buttons seemed to not mind the snow near as much. however, Buttons started limping the longer she stayed out so i made her go back inside. Bo, on the other hand, had wayyyy too much fun. he was able to explore parts of the yard that are normally unreachable. chasing squirrels and birds and well his shadow. he's not too bright, bless his heart. as i was putting buttons inside he escaped unbeknownst to me. i called his name and he did not come running like normal. i look up the driveway and to my surprise he is at the mailbox having the best of times! i have never seen the pup run as fast as he did when i asked him what on earth he was doing. (he did not answer, just ran right passed me) he had a blast and is currently cuddled up next to me and Buttons sleeping soundly on the couch. i came back inside and my rash seemed to flare up worse. temperature change to heat seems to aggravate it. so, im not going back outside anymore. mom and dad went on a walk around the neighborhood. mom took my camera and got some great shots! and i want to share them with you!

ill start with a collection of snowmen
here are just a few random, pretty shots

and when mom and dad got back from their walk they made me a snowman on our patio...
isn't he cute?!

so is this little boy...

well, im off to play bananagrams with my parents and enjoy some dinner followed by......
