My Roommates: Martha Stewart and Houdini

Last week I worked some absurd amount of hours, totalling around 65. Kelly, however, had Friday, Saturday and Sunday off. So, while I worked all three of those days, he busied himself around the house. He built a pen and house for Radley (to be discussed momentarily), hung out with my brother, helped with wedding invitations and cleaned up around the house. Sunday, we hosted dinner to eight family members. For this feat, Kelly cleaned the house, clearing out all clutter and replacing it with fresh flowers. He swept, dusted, did dishes and rearranged furniture. Additionally, he shopped for and prepared a delicious meal for ten of champagne chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce, fettucini and broccoli. I'm calling the networks this week to see if we can get him on air during the day with his own program. I think the ratings will be great!

Ah, yes, the pen and house...Well to my knowledge the house is doing well. The pen on the other hand...

Radley thinks it is fun to dig in our garden. We firmly disagree. There's a section of our yard in the back near the shed that Kelly and I thought would make a great space to section off and put the pup in it while we're gone. He wouldn't be able to reach the garden, but it would be large enough that he has more than enough room to run in and be comfortable. The first two days it was all right. The third day he met us at the back door when we came home. He had found an out by moving a piece of concrete in the corner of the pen. Kelly fixed it. Last night, he met us at the back door again when we came home. Evidently, he has learned that he can jump this four-foot fence with little effort. He sort of puts his paws in it and then pulls himself up and over. Kelly put him back out there and watched him do it so he could learn the secrets of the master.

The pen debacle has now turned into a battle of wits between Martha and Houdini. More to come on that one...
