Homeowner

It has been a very long time since I have posted anything and I do apologize to my readers (Mom). A lot has been going on the past few months. On April 28th, I became the proud owner of 102 Mulberry Lane. Since I signed the papers, we have cleaned and painted almost every weekend and some days through the week. The painting is coming along but we still have quite a bit left to do. I am painting every room in the house so it will take some time. Mom and Dad have been so helpful and Chad even came over and painted on one of his days off. Brandon worked really hard on the flower beds in the front and managed to clean them out and get them ready for new mulch and shrubs. I was feeling really overwhelmed with everything but I am starting to learn that it will just take time and to be patient. Work is still going well. I was happy to have Memorial Day off. It was much needed. Hopefully I can get some pictures up of the house soon.

Poor Puddles and My Poor Pocket Book

Well, this past week has been rough for my sweet lil' Puddles. First of all, she started yelping everytime we would pick her up or if she sat on her hip a certain way. I took her to Dr. Lane's on Tuesday morning and dropped her off for an exam. I called at lunch to check on her and they told me that she had a calcified disc on her vertebrae that was irritated and probably causing her the pain. The doctor gave her an anti-inflammatory and told me that she should not be jumping or climbing strictly for two weeks but preferably not for the rest of her life! Do they understand how hard it is to keep a protective dachshund from jumping?!?! So anyways, she has been trying to recover from a hurt back while something called "kennel cough" hit her Friday night which to me sounds like a "sinus infection". (haha) She coughed from the evening into the wee hours of the morning until Mom and I finally took her to the Vet ER. That is where we learned about the kennel cough and Puddles was prescribed an anti-biotic and some cough tabs. I know it sounds crazy but nothing is too good for my baby. She is like family and I want to take care of her the best I can. Don't judge!

It's been a while...

I know it has been a long while since I have made a post. I thought I would catch my followers up on my exciting life. (hehe) This past weekend started off gloomy on Friday when everyone in my house were tucked away in their nice warm bed and I was having to get up and get ready for another work day. The morning went by pretty and lunch time rolled around and a message appeared in my inbox that said "leadership had decided to let our associates off for the rest of the day", yee haw!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was so excited, I even stood up and did a little happy dance, shut my computer off, and hit the door. It was so nice to come home and relax. My Mom, Dad, and I watched Slumdog Millionaire when I got home. It was a pretty good movie but sorta sad. It did have a good ending though. Saturday, my Mom, Gran and I headed to Chattanooga to fight the crowd to look around for some possible Easter duds for church. I did not have any luck except for a pretty pair of earrings my Mom bought for me. Sunday, I woke up late and had to rush around the house so Brandon and I wouldn't be late to church. We planned to arrive 15 minutes early because we knew it would be so crowded. We successfully got there early and got a seat on the front row of the balcony. Pastor Lockerman did a really good job explaining the four facts of the Resurrection...I am not sure if that was the exact title but something like that. After church, Mom, Dad, and I ate a delicious lunch of ham biscuits and yummy baked beans!!! Brandon had to work on Sunday :( so I ended up making him a plate to eat for supper. Chad, Lauren, and Carter came over Sunday night for a while. Carter was being very funny while his Nana chased him around the living room. The weekend was really nice and went by too fast!

TGIF

I am so happy that today is Friday and the weekend is finally here! I do not have much planned and that is why I am so excited. Tonight Brandon and I plan on staying in and eating spaghetti and watching a movie. I am not sure about Saturday but Carter is coming over on Sunday to spend the night. He is really getting busy so that should be fun and entertaining. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. There really hasn't been much going on lately.

Happy Spring!!!!!!

How sad!

Well, the finale was a real doozy last night. I had googled some spoilers before it came on so I kind of had an idea about what may happen. The web was right and he did dump Melissa on the After the Final Rose show. We stayed up until 11 to see poor Melissa get broken up with on national tv. I can't believe it all went down that way. Jason better have some body guards because I know there are alot of women mad at him! I suffered at work today because of my late night....I know I am a grandma, I can't help it. It took all my strength to roll out of bed this morning and it took me forever to get woke up once I got to work.

The Bachelor Finale

I know, I know...The Bachelor is corny and cliche but I have enjoyed this season of it very much. I started watching about half way through the season when my Mom invited over some of her peeps from work. From that night on, we have gotten together to watch every episode except for The Women Tell All. Tonight we are having lasagna, salad, french bread, and brownie pie since it is a special night. I have heard rumors of what will happen but I hope I am surprised because the girl I wanted to win, Jillian, has already been let go. I guess we will see! :)

Weekend with Carter

This past weekend Carter stayed with us and we had a great time. He was not feeling good so that was the only downfall. He is playing with his favorite thing in these pictures...anyone's CELL PHONE! In the first picture, I was playing with him in Mom's bathroom and we tried on some different hair accessories. Cute huh?
