hmmmmmm.....i could have spent all my money today, but i didn't and that my friends is some will power!

Well, I had somewhat of an eventful day! In one day I went from Forney to Rockwall to Arlington to Grand Prairie to Highland Park to Dallas and
then back to Rockwall and then back to Forney. Needless to say I do not feel like driving anymore! I went into a Chanel store today to poke around, and I mean poke around. So I was waiting on a client and it was in the Highland Park Village! Enuff said! Did I mention I did all that driving in pouring down rain? :)

I am actually looking forward to this weekend, maybe I can get a little bit of sleep that is not interrupted....I have not been sleeping well lateley either because of restless dogs or cat or my virus is still here, and that wakes me up from time to time.

Other than that, all is well. City of Forney has lifted the water restrictions to a degree. We can now water 2 days a week and use a hose to wash our cars....Oh yes, I just remembered, that is what I need to do this weekend....
1)wash car or cars
2)clean inside of car or cars
3)wash big dog, if he lets me....

I bathed Beans last night and she just sat there, she loves warm water, that dog is crazy....she even let me clean her ears with QTips... Sam, however thinks that rain water is the same as taking a bath...Boy, he is about to get a taste of reality!

Rain, rain and more rain!

Seriously, I think we are all just going to float away pretty soon! How long will it rain?

Just as I saw some sunshine today, which lasted approximately 2 minutes, it was quickly taken away from me.. :(

I love rain and we need the rain but after a month of nonstop rain (just about) I am getting a bit jumpy and snappy lately with a side order of one of my famous 'fantabulous' moods. :( Seriously, let's get some sunshine!

But, work is busy, what more can I ask for...My days are filled with email writing and quote generation....When you are in sales, that is music to our ears! :)

Since we can't get any sunshine on our own, I thought I would help you guys out and so I've hired my friend Mr. Sun! He is here to work!

Well, I better get back to work and stay busy! I hope everyone is having a good day!

and now i am sick.....

Yep, I think I have a cold! :(

I barely made it through work yesterday and when I got home, I felt even worse..between body aches and migranes...well....needless to say I was not in one of my best moods! I went to sleep around 7:30pm and woke up around 6:30am...Yes people, that is a lot of sleep that did not even help me any! I still feel like I have a cold..YUK!

On a lighter note...all seems to be well...Dave is doing well. Right now he is taking a 4 day long class in Fort Worth (for work)....and he has one more class to attend in July that is in Austin. This one will last 2 weeks long.

My fathers bday was yestereday! Happy Birthday to him again!

My dogs are doing great! Sam and Beans have adjusted to one another and are doing well, however, Elvis the cat wants to have nothing to do with Sam the dog.....we are working on that right now!

have a blessed day everyone!

Birthday Weekend!

We had another fabulous weekend! Dave got to see all his family & friends! :)

Besides the fact that we did complete our bathroom project, pictures to come at a later time,

we also celebrated David's belated birthday in a big way.

People came, people ate, people partied! Fun times! A great weekend overall!

Tonight we went and saw a movie, Evan Almighty, which by the way, I highly recommend and

it is a great family movie without ANY questionable scenes.

Finis stayed the night with us which was exciting since I have not gotten to see him much in the last year! Thanks Finis!

Oy! so tired!

Sooooooooooo tired today!

6 hours of sleep don't exactly give me beauty rest or spark up my mood..I am as groggy as they come today! Well, the bathroom is 90% finished. Carlos was so kind to come last night again to put up crown molding in the bathroom...Ultimately, all that is left is to caulk a few areas, paint the crown molding where the nails show, scrub the bathtub and to decorate the bathroom a bit....I am so glad this is almost done....Home remodeling projects are not only tiring, but they are really confusing and frusturating when you have never done them.

But, Carlos was not the only person who helped us out yesterday..Dave's dad came over yest and spend the majority of the day working on plumbing in the bathroom, hanging mirror and medicine cabinet and helping with various home projects that I hung over Dave's head in the last few months....A big thanks to him as well! :)

Saturday's party is coming along well. I will be going to the store to get the necessities....food!
After I clean the house tonight and bathe the dogs, I think I will be mostly done and probably in a better mood! :)

For those of you who are coming to the house this weekend, I promise that we will mowe our yard b/c if we don't, you might not be able to find the house! J/K.....

Have a wonderful day everyone, Remember it is a Friday and weekend is only a day away!

A walk to remember.......for Sam!

Had a great evening last night. After work, David and I picked up the vanity from Lowes and all the pertinent accessories such as crown molding, baseboards and siding....Very exciting...We finished painting and we brought in the vanity. It looks beautiful! Dave has done so much yesterday! Stanley (my father in law) is coming today to help Dave out with plumbing and general help!

On a different note, Sam had his first walk yesterday. We went over to Jody's to sit out in front of their garage. We sat around with Jaime, Mike, Kelly, Jody and the kiddos for about a couple of hours....We had 3 kiddos running around us and 5 dogs (Jasmine, Winston (the gay boston terrier), Beans, Sam and Mr. Miagi who has no beginning or end. It is so funny to watch the dogs interact but Sam was a good dog, he was calm and interactive with other doggies...He did get upset with Winston a few times b/c Winston took a particular liking to his new male friend Sam! :) We have come to a conclusion that Winston deserves a rainbow collar! :)

Monica came and joined us for a while so we went back home to sit out in our backyard... yay for fun! Monica gave Dave and the other 2 troopers that went to Crandall ISD yesterday, a framed pictures of them with the kiddos...So sweet!

That is about it folks! I am out of news! Maybe some more juice tomorrow! Have a wonderful day!

Sam's Pictures!

Our new addition to the family, Sam Foster!

18 inches long, 32.2 lb, big floppy ears!

Update!

Had a great day yesterday. Celebrated Dave's B-Day by trying out a new Chinese Place in Mesquite... We are saving all the celebratin' and the partyin' for Saturday when we have more time!

Several of you asked me about the dogs and the cat...Both Beans and Sam are doing great but surprisingly as laid back as my cat is, he is not thrilled about having Sam around... Right now there is a lot of hissing and fighting going on and Elvis is staying in the mother-in-law suite and Sam is roaming the house with Beans....They (dogs) start to play around bed time, there is alot of chasing going on...Sam is a great dog and he is definately affectionate...If you are sitting on the couch, he wants to sit with you and put his head on your lap and he loves his belly rubs, just like Beans... The difficult part is making sure Beans still gets the same amount of attention as always because she will always be my #1.

Tonight, both dogs will get a bath. Beans loves her baths but not sure about Sam, we are going to attempt the hose in the backyard scenario and just cross our fingers.

David is doing great...He is now the big 25! He went to Crandall today to speak to a middle school about his job and to show them the car...How exciting!

Fathers Day!

I hope everyone had a fabulous fathers day! Our was great....We got to see my family, they came for lunch, which I cooked! I made some mashed potatoes, sweet corn, biscuits and rotissiere style chicken with giant strawberries for desert... We did not get to spend a whole lot of time together but the time that we did was precious! Here is a pic!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Wanted to wish David a very Happy Birthday! He is going to turn 25 later on today!
He got one of his gifts early, he got a dog. We brought Sam home last night, he is a 1/2 beagle and 1/2 bassett hound.....32lb and 18 inches long..... I will post some pictures of Sam later on today!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVID!
