Well of course....

Day 3--Favorite Television Program(s)

Day 2--Favorite Movie(s)

Day 1--Favorite song(s)

This is probably the hardest question on the list. lol I went with the 2 that I absolutely cannot stop listening to right now. "Awake and Alive" has awesome, inspirational lyrics and just happens to be sang by my favorite band EVER. "If I Die Young" is just super pretty and I love this band as well. These 2 songs couldn't be more different from each other. That's how I roll, haha.

Catching up.

This past week, the owner of our company passed away from P.arkinson's Disease. He had retired a few years ago and his son runs the company now. We had the funeral on Friday and our office was closed. There were SO many people at the funeral, which happened to be my first C.atholic funeral ever and man oh man was it long. People had a lot of great things to say about this man and although I didn't know him very well, I feel honored to work for his company. After the funeral there was a Celebration of Life party and there were a ton of people at that too. I had heels on and they had one mission: to kill me, so I left after that and went home.
Cleaned house and took a nap with Pedro. :)

Saturday--my cousin brought her 4 year old little girl,R, and 1 year old little boy, G, and I kept them all day and they spent the night with me and stayed until 3pm yesterday. Hub worked all weekend, so it was just me wrangling the two of them in which I OBVIOUSLY have no experience with--but we went swimming at Mom's and had a blast. (and she helped me "wrangle" them) They are the best behaved kids that I have been around and even though the little one is into everything right now--he is so cute that you can't stop looking at him. Or I couldn't anyway.... :)

After R&G left I had to scramble around to get my house back in order and take a shower so that I could go shopping for my niece's and nephew's birthday party. My SIL made the most ginormous B.uzz L.ightyear space shuttle cake and kids were all sugared up and running around. And then because cooking was out of the question, hub took me out for M.exican food. Great ending to a great weekend.

Today: My poor sweet dog, Tater has been having some issues this week and we could not figure out what in the world was going on. Every time I would go outside his head would be bleeding and then hair started to fall out. I thought maybe he and Harley had been scrapping it up but Harley had no marks on him at all. Then I have noticed him looking thinner and even throwing up over the weekend. Saddest thing ever--Saturday I heard him howling and when I went outside to check on him he basically tackled me and starting rubbing his head on my leg like it was itching/hurting really bad, and he COVERED me in blood. It was running down his face. I freaked out a little and so hub took him to the vet this morning to see what is up. Hub just called me to let me know that the vet said he was having an allergic reaction to some seed tick bites (we have seen very few ticks at all this year) and that he had a hot spot on his head that he has scratched it until basically it is down to the meat. (gross, but idk how else to describe it) SO--let's just say Tater is taking a drug induced nap right now while they are shaving his head. Bless his heart. Oh and he is down to 86 pounds. (previously weighed 95 lbs) I think a certain dog will be getting babied quite a bit this week.

And that's all I have for now.

Wordless Wednesday--3 things I love

For obvious reasons ^


This tattoo: I am hoping to get one similar next month.


How cute are my parents? :)

Monday thoughts.

If you buy the 100 calorie packs and then you eat 42 of them, have you really accomplished anything? Please say yes, please say yes (fingers crossed).

What can I put on my hair to put some MOISTURE in it? It's so very dry. Poor hair.

How can I like hard rock so incredibly much and then also like country music the same amount? They are 2 extremely different genres, and yet the only 2 types of music that I listen to these days. Part of the hard rock just happens to be Christian, so I think that makes it acceptable. Although, the other part is not so much.

1 hour and 21 minutes until I get to go home. I should walk tonight for exercise, AFTER I finish eating double decker tacos. :)

What am I going to take for clothes on vacation in August? Yes--I know August is a while away, but Colorado is not HOT like Arkansas.

I wonder how JT's day is going? Is Tater's new shock collar working to keep him in our yard?
*Note: We do not torture our dog. In order to keep him from being hit by a car, we have an underground wire that shocks him if he tries to leave the perimeter. The perimiter is almost 3 acres...he really doesn't have it rough. Just throwing that out there.

How is it that I am hungry again?

1 hour, 18 minutes......

My Childhood

I totally stole this from PCOS Chick. I think sometimes we get so caught up in the whole 'trying to make the baby' process that we don't get to think about what will happen if we actually do. Of course we all want to be able to give our children/future children a great childhood...and so here is a little about my own.

• Where/when you born? December of 1983, in Arkansas.
  
• Were you born first, second, etc.? I am the oldest of 2. I have one sister that is 4 years younger than me.
  
• What was your first pet? The first ones that I can remember (not sure what order, or maybe I had them all at once) were Mandy (German Shepard), Jake (Mutt), Mom's cranky (Pekingese) Teesha, and a bird named Jonesy.
  
• What were you for your first Halloween? I have no idea, but I know that I dressed up as Alf one time when I was just a little tot, because I have seen the pictures.
  
• Was there a gift you really wanted for Christmas that you never received? Not that I can think of, we pretty much made out like bandits for Christmas. I am still waiting on my 4-door Jeep Wrangler though. (Mom)
  
• Did you have any imaginary friends? I don't think so....
  
• What were your favorite books? I loved pretty much any book, but I think Charlotte's Web has always been a favorite. And I used to love The Babysitters Club, and R.L. Stine books when I was pre-teeny.
  
• What did you wanna be when you grew up? I wanted to be a veterinarian. As I got older I decided that was too much school.
  
• Favorite after-school, never-missed shows? I can't remember. Except that around Christmas time I RELIGIOUSLY watched The Santa Show. I know that my sister and I also really, really liked the Dinosaur show...where the baby always said "Not the Mama". haha
  
• What was your favorite toy? I had a whole mess of Barbies, but I played softball from age 4 until now...so I mostly liked my softball stuff. Oh and I can remember liking Cabbage Patch dolls . And Lincoln Logs at my Grandparent's house.
  
• What was your first best friend's name? The first one was Latasha. But the one that stuck the longest is Jessie. (since 3rd grade)
• Broken any bones or had any freaky accidents as a kid? It would be quicker to list accidents that I didn't have. My nickname was Crash, if that tells you anything. Nothing too serious though. A broken arm. Stitches in the head. Road rash...those kinds of things. Oh and a nasty black eye that lasted for.ev.er.
  
• Did you play house or pretend to be a super hero? I think I played house with my sister and cousins.
  
• Were you romantically involved with someone as a pre-teen? Haha, yeah...middle school was my prime. :)
  
• Did you get along with your parents growing up? Mostly. I was a teenager there for a while, so I think it was a little rough...but we're good now.
  
• Were you involved in any extra-curricular activities? If so, what? Softball to the extreme. Traveling all Summer long and at a different tournament every weekend, not to mention game and practice nights. It was good times.
  
• What was the first record, tape or CD you remember buying? I can't remember the first cassette I had, although I had several. Maybe New Kids on the Block??? But I can for sure remember that my first cd was Hanson. lol
  
• Did you ever fall in love with someone in high school? Well yes actually...and I married him. :) Well, I didn't marry him in high school...but a couple years later.
  
• Did you enjoy your childhood? Yes--it was a good one.
  

Wordless Wednesday (except for captions)

This is not a fabulous picture of me, but this is the new black hair that some of you requested to see. I need darker eyebrows. Baby P is my best friend's 2 year old. We're pretty tight.



This was hysterical. That would be my husband with his legs wrapped around his best friend. I'm so proud. LOL


And there they are again. Bless it. This slip & slide certainly did not make them look manly and married to women...which they actually are. (I promise)


Thanks for letting me hi-jack these pictures Jess.
