Whew!

Well I had a "spot" in my breast that had to be checked...again. But today I received the "all clear" from my Dr.'s office. That's a relief.

One less thing to think about.

My sister Dusty came into town over the weekend.....we had a blast. Loved spending lots of quality time with the family. I even took her to her first gay bar! Whoopee!

Liz broke her finger

Lizzy broke her left pinkie finger. Not too badly....but it's broken. Her first injury ever...can you believe it? She broke it playing punt and pass at school.

TGIF Geeez!

What a week!

I have been absolutely swamped at work all week. I STILL have 9 emails in my inbox that require "action". I guess I need to earn my paycheck SOMETIMES huh? Haha...ok, I always do....but sometimes it's harder than others.

I'm trying REALLY hard to rid my house of the smell of Sophie pee. I realize every day when I walk into my house that I'm "that" pet owner whose puppy has pee'd all over and you know it when you walk in. Maybe I'm being a little dramatic...but it's not something I'm taking lying down...I'm GOING to rid my house of the smell!!! In more pet news....we are buying an outdoor chin link kennel or "dog run". It's 7.5' x 13.5' (so pretty big) ....we are buying it because Sophie jumped the fence this week and ran 2 blocks away. Jeff had to deal with the situation...I was at work but I assure you it was not a good one. Thanks to a stranger who grabbed her she did not get any further or worse...hit by a car. Sumo has also jumped the fence once ...but he did not run away he just stood there in our neighbors yard. Anyway, all week we have not let them out "to play" at all....they only get to go out on a leash to go to the bathroom. Jeff has also been walking them twice a day. Once we have this outdoor kennel, they can have a place to hang out outside and we will feel confident that they will not be escaping again. (The picture is Sumo saying "Hi Mom...pet me"

Chris is playing in his first Mac-N-Seitz tournament Sunday. We have 3 games....9am, 10:30am and 1pm. Unfortunately, there is only 1 team for us to play against...but at least we know we'll get 1st or 2nd! Haha....

The Post Below

Did I mention that I paint? SOMETIMES.... wish I did more. Below is my most recent painting. My sister Penny asked me to post a picture.

One day ...my dream is to have a room all to myself for painting.....even if I go into it only 2-3 times a year....I want it.

Painting

Here you go Penny.....

New "do"

I got rid of about 2lbs of dead weight yesterday....ok, maybe thats a stretch but it was about 15" of hair!

I have a new "do"....I've gotten rave reviews so far....thank you Kitch! Pictures...someday...haha

So I just realized....

...how old I am getting. I DVR'd the "Video Music Awards" on MTV and I'm watching them right now. I have discovered how out of touch I am with current music! I have seriously fast forwarded most of this show without realizing it. This song "I kissed a girl and I liked it"...pretty much sucks in my opinion but everyone (including my own kids) think it's the cutest thing since BRATZ dolls.

So, I'm old...well getting there. So, I guess I listen to "oldies".......it's cool. I'm growing old gracefully, right?

Back to fast forwarding..............
