Countdown...

2008-07-19T07:28:00.000-07:00

Can I tell you how much I am looking forward to my vacation week? Nevermind that I really have nothing planned or any real excitement to look forward to. I am doing nothing. And I love it. Actually that is not entirely true. I am heading to PA to visit my family for the weekend, and I love visiting my family. I feel so out of the loop here in OH. I miss everyone. But it is nice to go home and be the "visitor" for the weekend. Sometimes it makes it feel more special. I'm so glad Michael is going with me! He has never been there so it will be even more special. I just want to read books, lay in the sunshine, get a little exercise, and visit with the people I love most on this earth. So....just a few more days.

However, these are not just normal days. I have soooo much to do before then. I have to finish preparing my report for my work presentation. Then I have to present it. I hate presenting! I have to take my PTCB pre-test by Monday to make sure I can sit for the actual pharmacy tech certification exam. Although I work in a pharmacy, I am realizing how very little I actually know about pharmacy. It is a lot to memorize. On top of that, I am in the middle of trying to relocate for work to an area that is expanding rapidly, which is supposed to speed up my career progression. I was hoping for NC, but I was told Buffalo, NY is expanding most rapidly so....who knows at this point. AND, on top of that, I was told yesterday that I am being transferred to a different store in my district. I am now going to be working in the lovely city of Springfield on Main Street. My favorite. Not quite. It is a 24 hour store though, so it will be a new experience for me. That will begin August 1st the day after I get back from vacation. Everything is changing so quickly!! How exciting though. Can't wait!

Parental Visit!

2008-07-06T18:46:00.000-07:00

My parents decided to come out for the 4th of July weekend to visit me. I actually had a long weekend so it worked out perfectly. Although we didn't do a whole lot, it was great to just catch up and it was also an opportunity for them to meet Michael!!

Planters for my porch

I planted some seeds in this one. Some of them are coming up already but I think a few of them were duds. I guess I'll just have to fill in the holes!

Matt, Krissy, Shelby & Colesy

Carol helped Harley open his Christmas toy. Deep down I know he really liked it. He just has trouble showing emotion.

Some of my wonderful new gifts

Evie stole someone's elf to eat

Tim looks so cute in his new jacket

I put together a gift set for my grandma too! She also needed pampered.

A sweater my sister made for Evie. Unfortunately it doesn't fit her right because she has a long body, but it is incredibly cute!

My neices with some gifts I bought them: their very own ornaments for the tree and some earrings (they are pierced now!)

Evie is opening one of her presents!

Evie's First Snow

2007-12-05T13:45:00.000-08:00

Since it was Evie's first time to see or play in snow, I decided I needed to take her picture. She wasn't too interested in exploring in the snow, but rather making it back into the warmth of the house. Can't blame her! I prefer it too.

This is my trip to Newport Aquarium in Newport, KY over the weekend. Philip and Nicole were so kind as to invite us to go along and we really had a great time. I got to pet sharks and feed birds nectar!Me & a pretty bird!

Philip and Nicole

I'm petting baby sharks and I love it! They are actually really soft but kind of like sandpaper too. I recommend the petting of sharks if you get a chance.

Feeding birds netar

He was not posing for this picture but I thought it looked funny. I think it will be on a LL Bean outdoor catalog or something. But he should be wearing something more rugged.

Halloween photo shoot at Walgreens : )

Evie got to wear all her new sweaters and meet another dog, Pandora

Pandora is so pretty!

Do I have to take another picture?

Mwah!

What an awful picture!

2007-10-31T08:08:00.001-07:00

I'm gonna get it

Look mom! I found a bug.

2007-10-31T08:00:00.000-07:00

Mmm...that feels nice!

This cracks me up!

Aww! The little rat is getting a bath...

2007-10-21T09:55:00.000-07:00

Evie, what kind of smile is that??

Evie was waaaay too busy today to have to pose. Much more interesting things to do.

Kids like dogs!

This is my trip to Yellow Springs to go hiking with my doggie! It was lovely weather for a hike and the leaves were beautiful. Unfortunately, my pictures didn't turn out that great because I am retarded when it comes to the correct settings. I'm posting them anyway. I had fun!

2007-10-21T09:33:00.000-07:00

Picture in my bathroom!

I got some new shelves from Bed, Bath & Beyond the other day and Donnie put them up for me. Does my living room look like it belongs in a cult or something? Ha ha. I just like the color and excitement.

Here are the results of my poppies from IKEA. I wish I had more of them. I think they look too clustered. But I still like to look at them. Makes my bedroom feel more personalized.

2007-10-05T06:10:00.000-07:00

My creative side had to come out last night as I had this sudden urge to make caramel apples and carve pumpkins. Yummy!! I decided on a star pattern for my pumpkin (which I saw in Family Circle or something) and Donnie chose something much more advanced and challenging: a wizard. Here are our results!

Big wedding coming up this weekend. I was just looking through some old photos and found this picture. Reminds me of many many things. Here's to Betsy and Marvin! May thay find happiness in the company of one another for a lifetime.

Earlier this week I took a trip to Pittsburgh to visit my sister and brother-in-law and was met over there by my mother as well. I brought my new puppy, Evie, along for the ride to meet Val and her new puppy, Dutch (also a chihuahua). We spent the day shopping and seeing my sister's new house. It was a lot of fun because I don't get to see them that often!! Here are some puppy moments.

Redesigning the living room

2007-09-27T16:15:00.000-07:00

I decided it was time to redo my living room. My twenty year old couch and plain white wall were just not doing it for me anymore. Imagine that. Donnie is setting up his 55 gallon fish tank in there for me as well. I don't have any fish yet, but I'm liking it already. Feels more like home to me. Now I just need a real house!

2007-09-19T18:44:00.000-07:00

Some random pics of Evie & me

So, for some unearthly reason I decided I needed a puppy. I had no intention of buying a puppy, but when I entered the pet store last month (to buy fish supplies for my re-vamped tank) I saw the cuttest thing ever in one of those rabbit cases by the door. After carrying her around the store with me while shopping, I decided I wasn't leaving without her. So now I am a proud puppy owner. I feel like a parent...sort of. Her name is Evie and she is a chihuahua. Her ears are big. Very big. Kind of like a bat. But I do love her.
