Click on the pics to enlarge. I L-O-V-E love Halloween! I love the trick or treating and seeing the kids in the neighborhood, the dressing up. The pugs? Not so much with the dressing up. But they sure do look cute and they’ll do just about anything for their Mom when she’s got a handful…

Last night was our office’s Halloween party. It was a lot of fun. It was held at a country club and there was a dj, bar, food, the works. Very nice. Everyone went all out with their costumes. I loved seeing all the costumes- so much creativity! There were a couple of kissing booths, 2…

This y’all, this is the weather I love. My fingers, toes and nose are chilled. The heat isn’t on and neither is the air. It is awesome. We have blankets piled high on the bed and the pugs burrow down to keep our feet warm at night. It’s sunny so you’re warm in the car,…

I know, I know. I should hate her. I do hate that one Barbie who said “Math is hard”. But I grew up with Barbie, and I loved her. I’m just not going to get into a political thing about her. She is a doll, a toy, a plaything made of plastic. My daughters’ self…

Ike had a vet appointment today for a heartworm check (free and clear) and a nail clipping (Thank you JESUS for the vet ladies). They said Ike is doing great with his weight (19.9 lbs) but he needs to maintain. I couldn’t find his harness and had to take him using just a collar and…

I’ve got just about all of my Halloween decorations out. Weekend trips and the homestudy threw me off this year. Usually the whole house is decorated by October 2. You can see my poor kitties trying to blend in with the Halloween decor in the first picture. Shannon and her large dog Rascal were over…

Ling Ling’s Aunt Lisie sent her a bib with her name on it. Except the name on her birth certificate and driver’s license won’t read Ling Ling. This poor kid will forever be known as Ling Ling though. I love it- she has a nickname and she’s not even home yet!

We spent the afternoon at my sister Sara’s house visiting with her and my BIL and my nephews. Marc made beer can chicken. I’d never had it before. It was quite tasty. All the little chickens lined up looked just like those chickens on that Pepsi commercial where they sumo wrestle.In Nephew News: Joey is…

My husband is turning into a Daddy. When I came home from IKEA I showed him pictures of the crib and changing table/dresser I liked (dude, they are like less than half the price of the cribs I’ve seen around town. I know it’s not heirloom quality furniture, but it is good stuff and we’re…

I don’t know if it’s the heat or if it’s cause we’re Southerners, but it seems that we sometimes can’t leave well enough alone. Why have a plain ol water tower when you can paint it to look like a baseball (like the one just a couple miles from my house that tells you when…
