Update: Housesitting

Bonjour!

My life has been a bit topsy turvy of late. I was housesitting at one place, I moved home for 1 night (and did a hella lot of laundry), and then proceeded to move into a new housesitting place. With all that moving back and forth, I haven't had much chance for cooking but I did manage to go grocery shopping last night, so I should be able to manage something relatively soon. In fact, I think I may bake some delicious muffins this afternoon and post the recipe later on.

But first, look at this face. Really, who could say no to her?

This is Nellie, the psychotic, ultra-needy, and yet somehow still completely lovable goldendoodle that I was looking after during my first housesitting stint. And as crazy and neurotic as she was (going up and down stairs with her around was nearly impossible -- she was always trying to sit on my feet!), I totally miss her.

When I went back a few days ago to return the key she basically wet herself in her excitement at seeing me again ... not going to lie, it's a pretty good feeling having someone that excited to see you when you get home. On the plus side though, I'm very much enjoying no longer being woken up at ungodly hours of the morning simply because there's a squirrel in the backyard.

Anyway, here's to you Nellie!
