Dudo Is Still Adorable / Dudo Sigue Siendo Adorable

La versión español está después de las primeras dos fotos.

I MISSED MY mouth (completely) and poured coffee (iced) down the front of my shirt.

I installed two new wall-mounted spice racks. I carefully read all instructions. I then attached the mounting brackets upside down. I managed to resurrect the installation, but they're not positioned vertically where I had intended. If I move them, there's a chance I'll damage the seal. Still, they work. So, now if I can just get my parents' voices out of my head, I'll be fine. ('Fat chance... you incompetent moron!')

I was shaking out a pair of gym shorts to hang on the line and I whipped myself in the eye (painfully) with the plastic-tipped drawstring. Who even does that?!? (Oh, yeah.)

I was planning on going to the gym today, but I think I should avoid heavy equipment. At least I managed an exercise walk without tripping over my own feet... or anyone else's.

Dudo is still adorable.


YES, THIS WILL DRIVE ME CRAZY FOR AS LONG AS WE LIVE HERE. TIME TO MOVE (OR REDO IT).
SÍ, ESTO ME LLEVARÁ LOCO POR EL TIEMPO QUE VIVIMOS AQUÍ. ES AHORA DE MOVERSE (O REHACERLO).

ME PERDÍ LA boca (completamente) y me serví café (helado) en la parte delantera de la camiseta.

Instalé dos nuevos especieros montados en la pared. Leí cuidadosamente todas las instrucciones. Luego coloqué los soportes de montaje al revés. Logré resucitar la instalación, pero no se colocaron verticalmente donde yo había pensado. Si los muevo, existe la posibilidad de que dañe el sello. Aún así, funcionan. Entonces, ahora si puedo quitar las voces de mis padres de mi cabeza, estaré bien. ('¡Gran oportunidad ... imbécil incompetente!')

Sacudía un par de pantalones cortos de gimnasia para colgar en la línea y me azoté en el ojo (dolorosamente) con el cordón con punta de plástico. ¿Quién incluso hace eso? (Oh si.)

Estaba planeando ir al gimnasio hoy, pero creo que debería evitar el equipo pesado. Al menos logré una caminata de ejercicio sin tropezar con mis propios pies ... o los de alguien más.

Dudo sigue siendo adorable.

  2. I would tell the voices in your head "I like the way the racks look, so fuck off!" it's fun to mess with voices!

    I too like the way the racks look. if you had not said something, I would never have noticed. and I still don't notice anything wrong.

    LOVE the furry legs on both you AND dudo. dudo is begging me to rub his soft tummy!

      Thank you. They listen to YOU! The racks are supposed to be exactly “four fingers” lower. I’m trying to get over it.

    2. Maybe Mitchell's furry legs are begging for a err, tummy rub.

  4. What is wrong with the racks? With iced coffee, I often get an unexpected splash when the ice shifts as I tilt the glass toward my mouth. Also, in the vein of keeping you company on life's mishaps, I stepped right into the glass door the other night and tragically spilled my cocktail. I almost cried.

  5. Doing it all 'your way'! One or both of your parents must have gotten the same treatment they gave you from their parent(s). How unfortunate that 'these' memories ALWAYS stick!
    Shelves look great! Good job!

    1. Jim,
      I don’t mind the shelves. Would have loved them to align with something other than each other.

    2. I so understand the align with something. Bottom of shelves or top would be better.
      Your eye needs someplace to go or follow.

  6. Sounds like you've had a "Doh" week (slaps own head). Hoping your weekend is better!

    1. Cheapchick,
      I won’t risk slapping my own head (on purpose). Might give myself a shiner.

  7. Who cares about those racks, Id be enjoying your swank living room anyhow with Dudo. You have the prettiest cats I have ever seen I swear. Besides, if Anne Marie were there, her rack would be distracting everyone.

  8. I do not understand what is wrong with the racks, they look great to me. Perhaps I can replace your voice with this voice I often get to hear "Stop being so picky and OCD, it looks totally fine and nobody else will even notice it" - At the moment I am hearing this a lot about my hair which is driving me a little crazy. But the truth is, nobody else does notice it.

    Dudo is so gorgeous. :)

    1. Snoskred,
      They are four fingers higher than they should be... according to me... and that makes me crazy, just a little

  9. Are you sure it isn't D. who owns the place? From his attitude it looks like you are there only by his leave.

    1. Ray,
      No doubt about who owns the place... unless you ask Moose.

  10. Are you me? Because if you are, what are you doing being better looking and living in Spain?

      Oh you’re so sweet and if we’re similar you have my sincere sympathy!

  11. If you damage the seal, it will no longer be able to bounce a beach ball on its nose. Just sayin'.

      Exactly! And that’s what worries me.

    1. Debra,
      It’s supposed to be four finger widths lower on the wall and align with the bottom extension of the cabinet. I know. I know...

  13. The brackets look fine to me, too.
