So not dead

2011-12-22T09:08:00.001-05:00

I am here. Haven't blogged in a while because that thing "life" has gotten in the way, and when it isn't the way, all k want to do is relax and cuddle with my puppy.

But holy poo can you believe that christmas is here already!?! Hard to believe when last night the weather in NJ was 59 degrees!!! Craziness.

I will be trying out a new recipe for christmas eve that my mom sent me. For the families sake, let's hope it comes out good. And I also plan on making a pumpkin pie from scratch again too. Yummy!

Any new things you are adding for holidays?

This is what makes me happy

Sitting down in our office reading blogs and listening to Christmas music (thank you Pandora)!

Oh slippers

2011-12-12T10:40:00.001-05:00

We buy a whole bunch of toys for our puppy Sadie. Spend a lot of money on these toys.

Tell me how she rather play with our slippers than the expensive toys?

Pee

2011-12-09T23:58:00.001-05:00

My puppy has peed THREE times today in the apartment.

First, she decided this morning to unload on our comforter. Ironically, I was at the moment peeing myself when I hear the hubs scolding her. All I thought of was that I was going to have to wash the comforter again within the last two weeks for the same problem!

Grrrrrr....

Then we are home later from her follow up visit at the vet. Of course my poor pup ended up having an ear infection. Which meant tubes and metal things pushed down her ear. And she was also due for her lymes disease shot. Talk about a double whammy. Oh and they cleaned out her ears too which she is NOT a fan of. So I guess to get back at us for the torture we put her through with the vet, she decided to pee in our office and then later under our kitchen table.

I am done with her today. I can't handle it. I love her to death, but you can say that tonight we are in a mother daughter argument. We are giving each other the silent treatment.

Let's see who cracks first to apologize....

Hint: Won't be me!

Rain, go away

2011-12-07T21:10:00.001-05:00

Want to know what's the worst thing to do in the rain? It is to walk a dog to go do its business outside.

Sadie, who just recently turned six months, does NOT like the rain. The minute I take her out, she's like "Oh hell no, I am NOT getting my hair wet so you can then sit me down and comb me. Oh hell no." TRUE STORY.

This dog understands that rain is no good. And when I know that she has to poop, she holds her shit (literally) in. It's like, if you just poop within the minute I take you out, we BOTH can go inside. But NOOOOO.... she gets all prissy and looks at me with those darn puppy eyes. Damn those puppy eyes!

She will pee, but sometimes we are forced to carry her, walk around our apartment building and then put her down in the grass area over there, where she will then poop. God forbid she gets her paws wet to walk around the building. She's all like, "carry me bitches!"

So right now, she's barking at me which tells me that she wants to go out. Of course, it's pouring rain. She goes down the steps and immediately goes to the muddy puddle and starts to drink it. Seriously, with all this water coming down on you and knowing how much you hate the rain, you're going to stand to drink from a puddle instead of peeing and pooping so we can go inside the DRY apartment.

I just don't get it.

But, the puppy eyes get me every time. Love my fur baby, cone and all.

Sadie at six months. With her cone. Ha!

It's December? Holy poo....

2011-12-04T17:14:00.001-05:00

I can't believe it is December already. Time is flying by!

This weekend the pups and I had the apartment all to ourselves! The hubs was away on a boys weekend. Boy did me and the pups enjoy. I think we saw about five movies. Caught up on The Ellen show on my dvr and we are currently watching the Giants game while waiting for the hubs to get home. We are Giants fans in this household. :)

I mention that there have been some major changes at work this week. It was super hectic. I told everyone Friday that I changed my name. That's all I heard all day Friday was my name. So crazy! But, I am just thankful that I still have a job and pray for the one person who was laid off.

Tomorrow is going to be crazy as well.... well the whole week. I will need lots of coffee and meds considering I will be on my period. Let's hope I don't lash out on anyone. Ha!

I hope you all had a great weekend. I sure did! Now I am off to get some meds for my headache.

Sadie says: bow wow wow to you all. I think that means hi in puppy world.

Changes

2011-11-30T22:23:00.001-05:00

We had some major changes at work today. Like new company buying us changes. I am happy with the changes. I am just grateful that I have a job! We will be getting some immediate perks too. Like I got some more money in my offer. Woop woop. It is always a great feeling to get something that you weren't expecting. No one at my job is losing their job. God is good!

So I am excited for these changes. It happened at a perfect time time too. So many changes to come in the future and this is the best way to start.

Now let's hope they don't block blogger at work so I can secretly post and read blogs, during my lunch hour of course!

High school drama still? Lets talk about reunions...

2011-11-21T09:24:00.001-05:00

This year marks my ten year high school anniversary. So as other high schools do, we had a ten year reunion. I decided to not go to the reunion because I am friends on facebook with almost every single person who graduated in my class and have seen what everyone is up to. Also, I can use the $75 bucks for each person towards something better for the hubs and I. But, this doesn't mean I wasn't kept in the loop via facebook. The day of the reunion, DRAMA was around. Status messages from various people went up and boy did it seem like people were fed up. It reminded me of high school drama all over again. I thought we all kind of grew up and didn't let small little things work people up. Wrong. Now, I can imagine how stressful it is to be on a planning committe and trying to plan it, but I don't think it gives you the right to yell and bitch and moan to people who aren't going due to various reasons. If they are annoying you, is it so hard to just turn them off? And let's not assume that just because there was months of notice that everyone can save money for the reunion. Yes, it is conceivable to put a dollar away, but some people might not be able to do that. No one knows of anyones situation. I just feel bad that all of us on facebook saw that drama unfold in our news feed. I seriously thought high school drama would have been done with.

Was there drama for your high school reunion? Did you even go?

Day two of no stinky armpits

2011-11-18T15:27:00.001-05:00

Considering I had to use my hubs deadorant yesterday since I ran out of my own, you would have thought that the first thing I would have done when I got home from work was run to the store.... WRONG

Instead I continued to move crap from the kitchen to our new apartment next door and so this morning had to use the hubs deadorant again.

WINNING ..... AGAIN!

Shhhh... don't tell the hubs

No stinky armpits

2011-11-17T11:26:00.001-05:00

In the midst of us moving, I have failed to restock on deadorant. This morning, I was unable to use my deadorant since there was nothing left and I dug out everything I was able to the day before.

I had no choice but to use the hubs deodorant.

Everytime I lift my arms up, I smell it. It actually has quite a pleasant smell and it's not manly or anything. AND, it's keep me dry!

WINNING!

We're moving and TEAM EDWARD!!!!!!!!

2011-11-17T10:34:00.001-05:00

I haven't been on blogger for a long time, due to the fact that our computer is at our new apartment. We have been in the process of moving these last two weeks.

We are literally moving next door. We have a one bedroom now and a two bedroom opened up so we jumped on it. YAY for more space. NO, we are not expecting. We will be using the second bedroom as an office and also we get access to the attic which means storage which means less shit in my apartment! YAY!

What is hilarious is that to move, we go down our stairs, turn left and walk a half step, go through the door, and up stairs again to our apartment. We are in the same building just on the other side. Now most of you would think that it would be an easy move, NOT! Since we aren't packing boxes, and we have a three weeks to slowly move our stuff in, it is more tedious since I am putting stuff in bags and transferring from this closet to the new one. The layout is pretty much the same except for an extra closet and the two bedrooms. But boy am I getting a workout lugging bags back and forth going up and down the stairs.

But I am super excited for the new apartment and especially with all the room we will have. Less clutter!

Also, yesterday the hubs and I celebrated our three year wedding anniversary. Time flies by when you are having a fantastic time. I can't believe it has been three years. I wish I could relive that day because we really had so much fun!

God has truly blessed us. How awesome.

I will try to keep up through my phone and use my blogger app more.... just pray that this move goes easy!!!!! We are attempting to be moved in by this weekend.... good luck to us. More good luck to the hubs who is moving all the heavy stuff. AND our dog is totally confused on which door to go in when we come back from walks since we have been goign through both and introducing her to the new place this past week. She might think that her mom and pop pop are crazy. If she only knew!

And one more thing.....

TEAM EDWARD.

Saturday I am going to see it. WOOP WOOP

Got hitched three years ago today....

2011-11-16T09:22:00.001-05:00

And it was FANTASTIC!

The hubs and I are celebrating our three year anniversary today!

Time flies by when you are having a great time!

Something is wrong with this picture

2011-11-09T07:13:00.001-05:00

Sadie woke me up at 5am!

And now she fell asleep while I am still wide awake.

Shaking my head....

Back in the grind

2011-11-08T10:48:00.001-05:00

We got power back on Friday at four! It took forvever but I am glad that we got power back. Talk about annoying and how uncomfortable it is to live with no power and no heat for a whole week. So hopefully tonight I can catch up on some blogs. I am on Pinterest right now and having so much fun pinning away! Check me out, NewlywedGiggles.

Hope you all are doing well!

Day 6 of NO POWER, NO HEAT

2011-11-04T09:06:00.001-04:00

We still don't have power since that freak storm we had last Saturday. We have been staying at friends house this whole week. I am fed up. I have been praying and praying. But I have officially lost my patience. All of our food in the fridge has to go to the garbage. All of it! Its been cold at night and our apt is usually colder inside than it is outside. I am only able to charge my phone at work. My poor puppy has had her sweater on all the time now and we let her snuggle with us to stay warm. I want my power and heat back. Melissa and Gonzalo are probably the best friends we have had during this whole ordeal as they have opened up their place and welcomed us and my puppy. I am SO grateful to have people like that in our life. God bless them, they are so awesome. Amazing how a hard time shows how some friends care and check up on you, and the ones who you think would call everyday don't. It has been an eye opener. I had one friend, Pam, contact me that I don't talk to as much and barely see her, she said that we can go to her place and stay with them and she would cook dinner for us. How awesome of a person is she?? I was so grateful that she would even offer up her place to me, a person from high school that she barely gets to see. God bless her and her family. She has the cutest little baby boy too! But seriously, her reaching out to me was such an act of kindness and I pray that one day I can return that act of kindness to her. Pam, if you are reading this, your call really touched my heart and thanks so much!

So, I have to actually work now at my job and put my phone down to charge. I hope all you bloggy friends are well!!

Asking for prayers that we get over this hurdle as quickly and painfully possible. :)

No power, no heat, stupid people = a cranky me.

2011-10-31T16:09:00.000-04:00

We got hit with a snow storm on Saturday. Yeah, you read right. We got hit with a shit ton of snow. Not two inches, more like eight inches of wet heavy snow. Ridiculous. Want to know what's worse? We lost power on Saturday at 6pm. It's Monday 4pm, and I STILL HAVE NO POWER. Shoot me now. We slept with like a gazillion blankets on. My puppy's crate had my bathrobe and two snuggies on it wrapped around. I put extra towels on top of her bed in the crate and I left her sweater on. It was probably about 30 degrees last night. Want to know what the temperature is now here in Jersey?

Yeah, is that not crazy. We go from a really bad snowstorm that brought down power lines and trees every two feet you walked in my town to tomorrow being 57. UNBELIEVABLE.

They tell us we won't get power back till Wednesday at midnight.

::sigh::

This is going to be a long week. No power, no heat. DARKNESS.

Think I might pop open a bottle of wine. What else is there to do?

Pray we get our power back soon!

Oh yeah, HAPPY HALLOWEEN.
