soup weather

i watching cooking shows- not religiously- but enough that i feel like to be a proper adult i am supposed to have many dinner parties with interesting foods, games, and cocktails. but unfortunately most of the food they tell you to cook centers around meat. which makes sense because we're a meat eating society, but this girl is not a meat eater.
sometimes i crave salmon or a steak or a burger or turkey with cranberry sauce or scallops. but i can't bring myself to eat meat. i can cook meat, maybe not well- i can't tell if it's cooked well because i won't taste it. but i don't mind cooking it.
i guess that's where greg comes in? he can be the meat cooker for all of the dinner parties we host like proper adults do.

there is a man on TV who has a campaign going that's about not complaining for 21 days. i was thinking about it and i think it would be really hard. sometimes i just complain to make conversation. i wonder if i could do it, i wonder if i should try?

we bought olive a dog house last night. an expensive dog house. but it's supposed to rain a lot today and we don't want her to be all soaked. we had the back shed open for her for awhile but she started getting into the trash in there and making huge messes. so we bought a dog house. we wanted to make one and maybe one day we will. but for now it was easiest to just buy one. i don't think she trusts it yet, it probably reminds her of the crate too much. her paws keep getting caked in mud and stuff- poor doggy. i think she's getting a bath tonight.

it's been soup weather. i love soup weather. just not rainy muddy soup weather. just cold soup weather.
