A few of Joe’s Favorite Things . . .

October 29, 2010 Filed Under: STAY on Vacation

Well, it’s the last Friday in October, so here’s the final prize addition – a big dog gift basket from Good Things Green Things, which is one of my favorite shops!

Here’s the description:

This gift basket is perfect for your medium to large dog. We’ve packed up our favorite toy the Hurley from West Paw Design. It is super durable – survives lawnmowers & two years of chewing from a lab, and is completely recyclable. The Planet Dog Orbee Ball is recyclable & can be stuffed with treats. And we can’t forget the treats! Handmade Molasses Explosion treats from Max & Ruffy’s are organic & vegan.

And, okay, maybe you’re all like, but I entered and I don’t even have a dog! But here’s a little secret, the Hurley may be one of the most indestructible dog toys ever (and I know, because my dogs DESTROY toys and there isn’t even a dent on their Hurley), but it’s also a fantastic foot massager. When Argo & Stella aren’t paying attention, I may or may not steal it from them and put it under my desk so I can roll my feet around on it while I’m working . . .
Hey, don’t look at me like that! They have plenty of toys! And Lady told me to use a tennis ball to work out the tight muscles in my feet, but we can’t have tennis balls in this house, because Argo is like that dog in that really sappy Adam Sandler movie where Téa Leoni cried a lot, and once you even touch a tennis ball, you’ll be playing fetch for the rest of your natural born days.
So, if you don’t have a dog, you could always gift the basket to a friend who does, or a shelter, or, you know, massage your feet.
Anyway, the contest ends on Sunday – 10/31, and I’ll announce the winner next week! Don’t forget to enter! eReader versions of STAY totally count too!
And yes, I have had too much Halloween candy. . .

How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ How’s relaxing going, you ask? Well, so far I’ve cleaned the gutters and raced Roxy to the vet ER to determine she did not (thankfully) eat any of the scrap of composite plastic decking she magically found out of freaking nowhere. (Getting pet insurance was the smartest thing I’ve ever done). I’m extremely bad at rest. Although I do find puttering around the house kind of meditative. Cleaning the gutters exhausted my body, but calmed my mind (briefly).
This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a This is our neighbor, Francis. We visit Francis a couple times a week and we all like to stand around staring at each other. It’s lovely. Francis seems just as interested in us as we are in them. (And look at that stance! And Francis’s little paw resting on the ledge 😍). #groundsquirrel #groundsquirrelsofinstagram #dailyroxydog #dogstagram #neighbors
I don’t think there’s anything more comforting I don’t think there’s anything more comforting than lying in a hammock. I’m exhausted. I’ve pushed against the limits of my being very hard all summer working on my draft and I definitely need to soak up some calm quiet on a large scale. Which is also to say if I owe you a call/email/text, it might take me a week or two to circle back. I’m going to catch up with myself and then with everyone else this time. Which I think might mean spending as much time as I can lying in my hammock listening to birds. #rest

All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snack All I ever want is an endless stream of tiny snacks to crunch while I’m working. But since I have MCAS and it limits my diet, most of what I eat is food I make myself. Thankfully, corn tortillas are a safe food for me (everyone’s MCAS is different — so please don’t take my safe foods as any kind of sign they’re safe for someone else who has MCAS). Today, I remembered that I  have tiny cookie cutters, so I made myself a bowl of mini chips. I tossed them with lime juice and salt and threw them in the air fryer. And then, of course, because I don’t want to waste food, I did the same for the scrap pieces (which somehow tasted even better!). So happy! #tortillachips
