I’d like to tell you that my obsession with Instagram is over. That, however, would be a lie. I definitely took more pictures in the past week because of the app. Now I am going to bore you all with them. It’s like me showing you my vacation photos but much worse.
Let’s start back at last Friday at 5:00PM. I said good-bye to my favorite employee…the automated filling machine.
And my work attire. Hey, look! A giraffe in a white coat.
That night I bought fresh flowers from Target. Nate buys beer. I buy flowers. We are equally happy.
On Saturday, Ike and I cleaned the house and lounged around while Nate was at work. Ike’s a much cuter lounger than I am.
In the afternoon we headed to Le Claire with Nate’s family. We revisited Antique Archeology.
We also toured a local distillery where we learned how vodka is made.
Saturday night we went bowling. Here we are after I beat Nate in Round #1. I don’t remember who won Round #2….
I’m getting tired now and this post is long so I’ll end with Inspector Ike. He alerts Nate when any new items enter our home. I need to train him better.
Do you prefer flowers or beer? Or both. Whatever. What does one wear with green shorts? Bowled lately? Who wants to give my dog a bath?
I prefer flowers and beer. Green shorts...hmmm navy and white? No thanks on the bath :) I don't even give my own dogs baths. They go to the groomers tomorrow :) Have a great weekend, Michelle!
ReplyDeleteFlowers. No beer for me lately. When that time comes, I'll have a vodka then a beer ;). I love those shorts! Anything! You could throw on a white tee or a crisp button down. A sweet pair of wedges or espadrilles and you're good to go.
ReplyDeleteThe giraffe comment cracked me up! Flowers for me...and maybe some wine! My puppy needs a bath. She has been spending a lot of time on our deck lately because it's gated like a big playpen...although I didn't realize how filthy it is! Have a great weekend!

I'm liking this, "He gets beer and I get flowers thing." I think I might have to try that ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but these random posts are MY FAVORITE. I have no idea what one wears with green shorts!! I prefer flowers. :-)
ReplyDeleteOooh, an automated filling machine. Super fancy. Personally, I like to buy flowers and wine-- they go hand in hand in my world.
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow Instagram-Addict, I very much enjoyed this post. Should we start a support group?
ReplyDeleteI love the shorts - definitely with navy, pinks, tans, maybe a yellow if it's the right shade. And Yay on the flowers - I love having plants in the house. It makes it feel like a home!
i have to say that i am going to go with beer over flowers...i may be in the minority here! only because i don't like buying flowers since they just die. i would rather pick them from the yard!
ReplyDeletealso, i am seriously in love with those shorts. you can wear grey, white, anything! let the shorts be the star ;)
my in-laws have a pharmacy and their fave employee is Freddy the Robot, looks a little like your guy:)
ReplyDeleteI love Instagam and beer.
Green shorts? Is Michelle taking a walk on the fashion wild-side? Love it! Pair those babies w/ a black and white stripe tee and you're good to go.
ReplyDeleteFlowers or beer... do I have to choose?
ReplyDeleteIke looks so cute the way he sits.
ReplyDeleteI like beer and flowers, I am hard to please I guess.
I will give Ike a bath if you give scout a bath. I bet my dog is the bigger brat!
I'm so excited to go on vacation this weekend with Instagram! Now I can subject everyone to my everyday business with pictures instead of just tweets and status updates! Mwahahaha!
ReplyDeleteAlso fun fact, I was bowling with friends on Saturday when you Instagramed that picture! First time I've been bowling in years!
One glass of wine and a bouquet of flowers is a beautiful way to start a weekend. Ike's positions crack me up!
ReplyDeleteHaving a beer while I look at flowers. Or tending to my flowers while I drink a beer. Either works for me. As long as it is the weekend.
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny! I love Antique Archaeology! I love their show. Looks like a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteOk, you convinced me. Instagram is loading on my phone as we speak. (or as I type.) I love beer and flowers! I hope you have a fantastic weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'll take flowers and beer...AND wine if I'm feeling fancy. I am LOVING Instagram on Android. Also loving Ike.
ReplyDeleteHa! Sounds like our house, beer and flowers. Sometime we'll actually get to Antique Archeology since we're so close. It looks amazing. I don't have instagram, but I'm going to have to try now!
ReplyDeleteLove that second pic of Ike with his feet up on the couch. Is he pose-able?
ReplyDeleteyou crack me up! and i think you would look great in a navy and white striped boatneck with your green shorts.
ReplyDeleteYes, Ike-Alert must somehow be disabled!
ReplyDeleteI def prefer flowers!!!! I hate beer. So. Gross.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, but for some reason it is not showing up in my google reader. This makes me sad! :-(
ReplyDeleteHow fun to see a little bit of your work world! Automated filling machines....um...do they ever mess up?? I also buy my self flowers, because husband always brings me roses, and I am not a rose type of person! I hate bowling, but last time we did, I ended up beating everyone...this coming from someone who always misses all the pins. Try a white top, you can't go wrong with white, unless you are me, and everything you eat ends up on your clothes ;) And if you find anyone who is willing to give Ike a bath, let me know, I currently have two who smell like chickens for some reason. Hope you had a great weekend!
ReplyDeletei like beer AND flowers. and i buy myself both (aren't i nice?). totally love the green shorts...i'd wear them with probably every color but maybe coral? gold? some sort of print for sure. :)
ReplyDeleteOh instagram, makes me want to finally breakdown and buy a smart phone.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I used to work as at a drugstore, and I would have killed for one of those automated counters! Of course, that was well over 10 years ago, so I doubt they were available then, anyway.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wish I had a smart phone just so I could use Instagram.
