She Said YES!!!

Erica (Stella's groomer) agreed to keep her for two weeks when I go on my cruise next month!! I am so relieved and to show my appreciation, I have apple turnovers in the oven to bring to her when I pick Stella up later!!! Yay Erica!!

SSDD

It's not like I don't have time to blog everyday. It's just that I have nothing to blog about. Allison and the boys are having dinner here tonight and then I'm taking the boys home and spending the night with them while Allison works. Karter's out of town.

Tomorrow I'm going to the Heritage Singer's Variety Show with Marty & Jane which I love to do. It's dinner and a night of entertainment with two of my favorite people, what's not to love?

Friday night is a Homemaker's Birthday Celebration. This one is for Jen & Deb and I am hosting. We're planning to meet at the Lucky Strike for drinks and then bowl. Should be good for a laugh seeing as how none of us are bowlers :) Then we're coming here for Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Orange Marmalade icing. It's is YUMMY! I don't make it often because it's pretty labor intensive but it's Deb's favorite cake and afterall, we are celebrating her birthday.

Other than that, my life is boring. Boring, I tell you. Even Stella has acted bored since I got back from Connecticut. I think she misses the commotion of Erica's kids at Sheryl's. Pretty sad when you come to pick up your dog after being gone for a week and she could care less. Although that pleased me because it meant she was well taken care of and liked it there. I'm hoping to be able to talk them into keeping her again when I go on my cruise next month. We'll see if Sheryl really meant it when she said, "Any time."

New Goodies




I got a package today that contained the cutest Lego stuff. A tea towel and people magnets that went immediately on my frig and a key chain which went directly onto my key ring. Yay Lego!!

It IS Tomorrow!

While talking to David on the phone this morning, I told him that when he goes to bed tonight and wakes up tomorrow, I'll be there. He told me, "I already waked up, it is tomorrow!"
Hard to argue that with a three year old :)

Today is the Day!

I'm leaving for Connecticut this afternoon!
I'm a little concerned about Stella. She's going to stay with my groomer's mom. Stella knows her because she comes in most Thursday to see Stella and she jumped at the chance to babysit her. I hope Stella behaves for her because it'd sure be nice to have someone other than my mom and Allison to watch her when I go somewhere. I'm going to try to butter her up by bringing her a nice bottle of wine when I drop Stella off later. Keeping my fingers crossed it works!

Whoops!

I had lab work done yesterday morning. When I went to see the doctor in the afternoon, she said everything looked good except that my fasting blood sugar was 121. Fasting blood sugar should be below 110. Wait. What? I wasn't fasting and not only did I eat breakfast before I had my labs drawn, I washed it down wth a Coke. Yep. So, actually a non-fasting blood sugar of 121 is pretty normal.
And on a good note, my cholestrol was 153, my blood pressure was 107/72 and my B12 level was within normal range. B12 is a biggie for me as the part of my intestine that absorbs B12 is gone and I have to have monthly shots.

Dear Lori,
Next year I promise to fast before getting my labs drawn :)

I Am A Survivor!

At least I survived the weekend with Jameson & Gage. They were unusually good but I was happy to come home to a quiet house last night. I think Stella felt the same as she's been sleeping pretty much non-stop since we got home. It's hard for her to nap when she's around the boys. She needs to be on constant alert in case one of them (Gage) decides he wants to tackle her.
She'll have to go back in full alert mode today when I drop her off on my way to church. I'm going to a Super Bowl party this afternoon and don't want her to be alone too long. She'll spend the night with Allison and come home tomorrow morning.

COOKIES!

I just finished cleaning up after making 8 dozen M&M cookies. I used Valentine's M&Ms and they look very festive :)
I'm hoping they'll be a good bribe for Jameson and Gage. I'm picking them up from Day Care this afternoon, taking them home and spending the night with them tonight. Allison and Karter are going for a short get-away to Bismarck and will be home tomorrow night. I've got our meals planned and everything ready to go.
Stella got upset when she saw my duffle bag come out but after I explained that she's coming with, she settled back down.

The Countdown Begins

Eight more sleeps and I'll be on my way to Connecticut. Can't wait to see my boys again!

Ahhhhhhh....

My new cork screw is here, my new computer is set up and I'm slowly getting used to Windows 7. I think I'm going to like it and if I don't, I'll drink wine until I do :)

Mother Goose's Meandering Mind

Still Waiting

Office Max called yesterday to tell me they're having a hard time finding someone to come out and set up my new computer. If they can't find someone, why did they tell me they have that service? And charge me for it?
