The weekend actually turned out pretty well.

Oliver did have surgery on Friday. He’s always had a sensitive stomach and when he feels icky, he eats grass to try to make himself throw up. It turns out that he ate so much grass, though, that some of it wove itself together into a mass in his stomach that blocked everything from moving on. Over half a pound of grass. My dog thinks he’s a cow. The vet said it’s only the second time she’s seen that in 26 years.

He’s recovering very well. Has staples rather than stitches, but he can’t get to them to lick or pull them out because they’re so high on his belly. Yay!

The Pinewood Derby turned out great, too! DS won 2nd place in Best Concept Car! He didn’t win any of the races, but he’s been carrying that trophy with him since he won it. Seriously. He takes it downstairs to watch TV, he brings it to the dinner table, he takes it to his room with him to sleep.

Sunday, we were huge layabouts. I read 5 books. It was awesome. We had Moroccan Meatballs in Tomato Sauce with Poached Eggs for dinner. Last night was a crockpot Italian Sausage Stew.

And for more great news, I lost 2 lbs! I don’t like that I have to do Slimfast to do it, but it’s working. Yay!
