Re-building

Okay, I made some changes to the blog.

I think it looks prettier now. I'm sure the 2 people (counting me) who read it will like the changes.

Vacation

Just in case you didn't see the cruise countdown on my blog...

25 days until our next cruise. WOO HOO!

Summer is Offically over

The boat is back in the garage and summer is officially behind us. We took it out for one last weekend of fun with Amy and Matthew and some friends. We went to Lake Fayette County and had a blast. Amy made up a song about the lake and loving the big tube. I would sing it for you but can't remember the very complicated lyrics.

It was cold and overcast for part of the time there but as long as you stayed in the water you were good. On Saturday the sun came out and we played for hours.

One small problem with the boat...they always have at least one small problem...our battery is dying. We didn't know that it needed to be replaced until we got out on the lake. This lake is literally in the middle of nowhere. In the Mize system, Angela gets in the boat and Tommy backs it into the water. I get the boat off the trailer and drive it around to the pier to pick him up after he parks the truck. Our systems been working for years. Until this trip...

This trip, the boat wouldn't start either morning and Amy and I were in the boat looking pretty helpless. We had to bum a jump start on both mornings before going out. It seems fisherman have a sense of humor when two girls in a boat ask them for a "jump".

Roxie stayed with her Wistner Grandparents and had a fun filled weekend with all her cousins. Mom and Daddy very kindly agreed to take in all the dogs so we could go with Amy and Matt. It must have been exciting because Roxie slept the rest of the day after we picked her up on Sunday. I'm sure Mom and Daddy napped too after the bark parade left town!

Rainy Day

It's been pouring all day today and it just adds to my mood. I know this is a short week but it seems that people are being short instead. I've had more unhappy people on the phone today then I did all of last week!! I'll be glad when Friday gets here.

Going to Beaumont this weekend for another Girls Night Out with my old crew. Not sure on the location yet and they're giving my OCD a complex. I'm a planner. I need a plan people!!!

Dyed my hair jet black last night. I don't look like a vampire or anything but it is dark. Just got a wild hair literally and decided to do it. I've gone lighter before but never darker. I like it. All Tommy could say was "it's dark". He did tell me today that it looks better then it did. He just has to give it some time to fade a little bit. Hair color the next day never looks good. It has to settle a little.

We had company this weekend. Bridgette and Wade and the 2 kids. It was crazy around here. Roxie is still recovering. All that movement and noise gets her all keyed up. She's come such a long way in the kid department. She had Will, Julia, Jake and Chad over here on Saturday for a little party and she didn't even bat an eye. Jake tormented her by chasing her around and making her bark at him. He didn't know she wasn't playing. She was just great with him. Like I said, she's still recovering. (I think all 3 of us are!)

Wednesday

Well, we're halfway thru the week. I'm working "late" duty this week. I go in a 9:30 and get off at 6:00. The good news is that it's only for a week. The bad news is that it totally messes up my schedule and I get to work already feeling like I'm running late. Just my OCD at it's best!!!

Tommy had a Texans game on Monday night. He tailgated and then stayed for the whole game. He didn't get home until late and I think he's still recovering, at least that's what I told myself last night as he snored the doors off the bedroom!

Roxie had a busy day today. She had a haircut appointment. She was shaking like a leaf when I dropped her off and had that look in her eyes like I was the most rotten person on earth. I felt horrible about leaving her. An hour later when she was ready, I walked in to pick her up and she was sitting in the shop owner's lap and they were playing on the computer and talking on the phone. What a life!!
