So much to say

 

A proper update will come soon I promise.  Here are some highlights (and lowlights) of the past week:

• Wilmington trip- cut short due to bad weather, bad travelling pugs, and a bad case of the vomiting everything that went into my mouth.
• Made another appearance at our local hospital emergency room.
• Did I mention all the vomiting?
• Made major decision involving having children.
• Oh yeah, and I threw up a bunch.

I forget about the black and white option on my camera, I wish I thought of it more. I love black and white photos and my pugs and boy take nice b&w shots.

Remember a few months ago when I won some Tupperware stuff on Ebay from Shaquita Vaughn?  And it took months, but finally she refunded my money after never sending the items?  Apparently my blog shows up when you Google her name, as many people have done.  They have then emailed me to let me know that they too have lost money to Shaquita Vaughn through Ebay because of Tupperware sales gone bad.  I recently received an email from Françoise Cruveillier in France!  She’s ripping people off internationally!  Fran asked me to use her name on my blog in the hopes that someone she knows, or maybe Shaquita Vaughn herself will see it and refund her the $69 Fran gave her for Tupperware she never received.  Well, it’s the least I can do Françoise.  I hope it works for you!

I was in Wal-mart the other day with my friend Patricia picking up chicken for a work luncheon when we saw this:

  Apparently even Shrek needs to make ends meet by working a part time gig.  Note that he’s wearing a Wal-mart name tag.  Their chicken was surprisingly good by the way.

We were able to spend some time with Jake (my nephew) this weekend.  He’s growing up so fast!  Walking!  Talking!  Not English really, just noises, but he thinks it’s a conversation.  Look how cute he is:   And lastly, yes I did find something cute at the Coach outlet last weekend.  I needed a new black bag and you just can’t beat an all leather Coach bag for less than $90! 

We’re just calling it an early birthday present for me, from me. ha!

J So, only 4 more days til we leave for Wilmington for the weekend.  I so need a getaway. It will be interesting to see how the pugs do while we travel.  We’re taking them on 2 mini holidays to break them in before we do our big vacation for 10 days in October.  I have so much to do before we go, and this is my long week at work (Mon-Wed 8-7 and Thurs 9-4). 

 

Thursday after work I’m getting my legs waxed again.  A couple of people have asked about it.  So here’s the low down:

• It hurts.  Sometimes shockingly painful.  But then it’s over.  In a second.  My tattoo hurt way worse, and that kind of pain still doesn’t qualify as real pain.  It’s just more shock than pain.  Does that make sense?
• It takes a really long time.  I was surprised.  For a full leg and a bikini wax it took 3.5 hours.  It was my first time though, and she said the next time probably won’t take as long.
• It’s not cheap.  Some salons charge upwards of $70 per leg.  Luckily my little town is situated between a large city and a medium sized town, so I go to the smaller town for less expensive options.  I was able to get both legs and the bikini wax for $75.  She said it will cost less the more I go because there will be less hair and it will take less time.
• It really does grow back more sparsely and softer.  I was amazed.  I usually have to shave every other day in the summer.  By week 3 you still couldn’t see hairs unless you looked really close.
• Choose someone you like because you’re gonna get really close to them rather quickly!

Holy smokes.  I log on to post and find all these cool buttons on blogger.  I love buttons.

 

Anyway…thought I’d share.  Let me set the scene.  Jon and I are meeting for breakfast the other day because we both have different appointments following breakfast so we have to drive seperate cars.  I get out of my car and still have my sunglasses on.  This is what I hear coming out of my dear husband’s mouth:

Oh my God.  Take those glasses off.  You look like you just had plastic surgery!

 

 

By the way, I am planning  on answering questions that have been left in my comments and posting pictures.  I’ve just not had any time.  This weekend though I promise.
