It's an Award!!

It's Not Monday anymore so I'm having a wonderful day! First of all I'd like to point out my new blog design by shabbyblogs.com. Thanks to Jenna & The Lane Domain because I totally stole the website she used and picked out a new layout. Her blog has recently had a really cute makeover also!! Thanks Jenna!!

Next on the blog agenda. What? What's that??! I received my first award??!!! Oh Oh Oh Oh my I totally wasn't expecting this... Thank you so much Kimber! I..I..I want to thank my boss and all my coworkers for not stumbling upon my blog and firing me because I blog instead of work....Um... um..I'd also like to thank God of course..and Sean, and My Chocolate Children for giving me topics... Oh my.. I know I'm leaving someone out...oh yeah thank YOU blog world for reading my blog!!

Ok so I really didn't do anything to get this award, {Kimber} gave me an award for helping name her new iphone, but it's still an award- and it's still my first!! and that would totally be my acceptance speech if I received a blog award for actually doing something worthwhile. haha Go check out A day in the life of a girl named {kimber}, she's a lot of fun and she's always got something going on over there!!

So I have a situation. Sean really wants to send Birdie to the trainer for a few months to finish up her schooling. On one hand I think "yes, take her, she will be so well mannered and we have so little time", On the other hand I will miss her if she leaves and if I can talk Sean into seriously devoting some time into training and if I sacrifice some couch time and help her myself (which in reality probably wouldn't give her the same training as a pro would) but then I won't have to miss her big hound dog ears or her sweet almond eyes and if she leaves I will miss my warm feet from her sleeping on top of them at the bottom of the bed and I'll miss her sweet kisses and her puppy breath. Oh what do I do??? Leave me a comment and help me decide and you'll win an award too!!

Have a great rest of the day!

Under Construction

I'm currently under construction. Can't you hear all the saws and hammers?? Thanks to Jenna Lane I found a cute new place for backgrounds and am giving myself a makeover. Check back for the final results!

Not Me Monday's

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

So last week I did not go to the eye doctor and tell her I couldn't see and she did NOT tell me I had my contacts in the wrong eye. I did not sleep with both of my chocolate children in the bed on Saturday night and did not let them stay when Sean got home which did not force him to sleep on the couch. Birdie did not pee in the house three times. Birdie did NOT pee in the house three times. Birdie did NOT PEE IN THE HOUSE THREE TIMES!

I did not have a nervous break down last night while trying to repair a light fixture which did not lead to me taking it out of the ceiling and doing some minor electrical work. And this did not make S mad one bit.

I did not try to climb through a fence to get my picture taken for the newspaper for a fundraiser I'm doing for Rance (because the photographer insisted we take a picture by a horse and it was inside the fence) and the wind did NOT blow my skirt over my head and everyone did NOT see my undies and boo-tay.

I did not eat gluten free cake for dinner three nights this week and I did not gain five pounds since my last weigh in. I also did not drink 5 coke zeros this weekend and did not have three candy bars and a bag of chips at the rodeo.

And last of all I did not forget to do the laundry last night and S did have a dry pair of jeans to wear today :)

Goodbye Monday

Is there anyone out their that actually likes Mondays? Maybe Monday's should be taken out of the week, but then I'd hate Tuesdays. Really though, it's not the whole Day of Monday that I hate, it's Monday mornings.

I had a sucky Saturday and an OK Sunday due to Celiac Disease and a major migraine but Friday I actually had a great time. So Friday afternoon around 2:30ish a major thunderstorm blew up and work was no longer a workplace. Everyone upstairs came running down stairs, the tornado sirens went off, and it rained so hard you could hardly see outside. There were limbs and trees down all over town! Sean and I were supposed to leave for a rodeo at 3:00 so I had to drive home in the storm, it had let up a little by then. When I got to the barn I found Sean running around in a camouflage rain poncho gathering up goats. A tree had fallen onto his mothers goat's pen and they all ran for the hills. It was a sight!

Sean and I were the only two to go to the rodeo so it was kind of fun. We took the scenic route to Lincoln,AR (up near Fayetteville) and got to see lots of beautiful scenery. We also saw a dairy farm. We don't have those around here in central Arkansas. It was neat to see all the black and white dairy cows! It was also nice to spend the evening alone with Sean. We are having one of Sean's friends from New Mexico stay with us for a few weeks so we aren't going to have many alone nights for awhile. By the way have you ever heard anyone from New Mexico speak? Their accent is really different!

Anyway I rounded out the weekend in bed with a migraine and cleaned the house a little.

Wow what a boring post, no wonder no one reads this thing! Here, here are some pictures of the dogs to make even more boring!

We hear a fourwheeler!

There it goes!Wait he's leaving!Ok Banjo How do I get out there?


Bye mom!
