Well Happy Thursday Kiddos!! That's right...we're almost there...FRIDAY!! I came across this picture a few weeks ago and have been saving it for when I needed to share a pick-me-up. If this doesn't do it for you, I dont know what will. Besides, its only the BEST color combination invented to man!!



So I keep trying to tell myself to just go a few more days and it will be the weekend. But unfortunately, I won't be getting much R&R this time around. Early Saturday morning, Ryan and I are packing up the pups and heading over to Pensacola for work. I've gotta get there early in the morning (keep in mind its 3 hours from here:( ), and stay in the balmy heat all day long. We'll spend the night then head back Sunday. Probably stop in Ft. Walton to wish Mr. Nelson a Happy Father's Day.

Sometimes I really start wondering if my life is always going to be work focused. I came across these pictures and really started to panic.


Because I can TOTALLY see my life looking exactly like this! In fact, it already does, just minus the poopsters. I work 9-5 then usually stay up at the office till around 6 or 6:30 doing more work. Then, as if that weren't enough, I bring it home to do while watching TV with the Mister. These pictures are actually funny to me, although they've kinda got me scared!!




I can't imagine wearing heels that high, but you just never know!!! OK OK, so lets be honest, I'll never be Mila Jovovich (spelling??) and never have Chris Noth for a husband (hey a girl can dream right??), but still.

Keep going guys...we're almost to FRIDAY!!!

Bye Bye Granmama

Its been a wonderful weekend, and we are all officially pooped! I'm still sitting here waiting on my Washer to be delivered. Come on lowes, the pool is calling my name!! Mom left to go back home after church. We had an AMAZING breakfast at Broken Egg Cafe before Church...I'm still full!!

Thought I'ld leave you with a sweet picture of little man looking out the window saying bye to his new favorite lady... the treat source!!! Lexie wasn't his biggest fan, so mom didnt really get to love on him too much but it only takes a smidge for this little guy and he's hooked!

P.S. Thanks Aunt Sarah for my new Sailboat Collar! I look so cool in it! The chicks are digging it!!!

A little Saturday Recap for ya!!

Mom and I got an early start around 7 am and got up and ready. Headed over to Starbucks for some coffee and muffins and sat outside enjoying the nice weather (**before it was 98 degrees today). Had a nice conversation with a guy in grad school getting his MBA who was sitting outside with his maltese/shit tzu mix puppy, Buster...So Cute!!

Got on the road for a minute or so then stopped at one of my favorite stores, Loli & The Bean. Picked up a Baby Shower gift I had ordered for my friend, Jenny and mom bought a few things for Mr. John Wells when he makes his debut in a few months!!

Then really hit the road to go to this quaint little town...

Thomasville, Georgia. And don't think this picture is deceptive. It really does look like this in Thomasville!! Straight out of a magazine picturesque is the only way I could describe the downtown area. These days, its hard to find old historic downtown shopping areas that are restored and up and running!! We had a blast going from store to store browsing. LOTS AND LOTS of antiques to be seen and lots of fun gift shops. Definitely heading back here sometime soon!!

Had lunch at a cute little cafe and got the best dessert...coconut creme pie (**although its not nearly as good as the one Mary Kate used to make. As I recall, we'ld ask her to make it for us when we were studying in college and she would right then and there. Then we'ld all get spoons and eat it straight from the dish!!).

Then after shopping there, we came back to Tallahassee and stopped at Fresh Market where we picked up a BUNCH of food I would never purchase otherwise, but Mom was buying and I happily obliged!

Also stopped by Publix to get the remaining necessities to cook the most incredible spread for dinner. Mom and I had a good time in the kitchen while all 3 dogs played and chased each other. We made homemade guacamole (my favorite!!), Parmesan crusted Tilapia, Butter Beans, Boiled Shrimp, Pasta Salad, Olive Loaf Bread with a Butter and Herb dipping Sauce and Fruit. I gained 5 lbs just looking at the table!! But it sure was yummy.

I told Ryan dinner would be on the table at 6 and sure enough I heard that loud truck of his drive up right before!!

After we cleaned up from dinner, we headed over to the one and Only Lowes where Mom bought me a new WASHING MACHINE!!! WAHHOOO!!! I also loaded up on some plants to add to my collection. Came home and then potted everything.

Look what I found... Someone hanging out in the garden section :)

All in all... a fabulous day! Lots accomplished and lots of fun!!

And now we're winding down for the day. Mom's busy doing some paperwork and little Lexington is right next to her sleeping soundly!!

I'm up early this Saturday morning. Probably because we have 2 special guests here and the 2 kiddos couldn't sleep to save their lives...they're just too excited!! Gramama (mom) and Lexington are here for the weekend to visit !! Everyone's running around and its only 7:26. Its ok though...my days of sleeping in are long gone.

We've got a day planned!! Mom was a good house guest and came bearing gifts...a beautiful hibiscus plant for the deck, so we're going on a search for a pretty pot to put it in. While we're in Lowes, we're looking for a washing machine. Yes, I haven't had one all this time. Pretty sweet, I know! And then, we're heading up to Thomasville, GA to shop in all their quaint little stores. I was up there a few months ago with our last lockup and briefly got to pop in a few stores. I've been dying to get back and I know Mom will like them too!!

One last thing. Last night, Ryan surprised me and took me on the sweetest little date. We got sandwiches and loaded up the pupsters and headed over to Lake Ella Park for a picnic. So sweet. Madison chased EVERY duck there. Hudson just loved being noticed. I guess I forget how little he is (all 3.9 lbs of him) so when someone says, "oh he's so little and cute!!" I just dont really pay much attention.

I tried to take some pictures and only came up with these.

These just absolutely melt my heart!!

HAPPY WEEKEND!!

I'm afraid my life isn't too exciting and the only pictures I take are of my dogs. Its been brought to my attention, but until something more thrilling happens, you can count on a few snapshots of these cuties every now and then!!

Here's my little man who is just the cutest little guy in the world!!

And meet Paisley. Ryan and I went to get bagels at a local bagel shop and people always bring their dogs with them and eat outside. We took Madison and Hudson and made a new friend. Paisley is a Carin Terrier (the Toto Dog) and she was JUST like Madison!!!
Here they are trying to figure out each other.

After breakfast, we went to the FSU vs Arkansas baseball game. Can't say I enjoyed it too much. We were in the suffocating heat and I got one sweet tan line from it. But Ryan loved it so I just prayed for rain the whole time...didnt happen:(

This weekend flew by and I am definitely NOT ready for work again!!

Yesterday, Ryan and I took a little adventure to Home Depot where we bought some plants. Its amazing what a few plants can do to make a place feel like a home.

Mom's coming to stay this weekend, so I spent quite some time last night CLEANING!! Now, I just need to somehow keep it clean for the week. Ryan is a tosser, like most men. He comes over and just tosses his shoes here, his wallet there, leaves dishes everywhere, etc. So I'm constantly coming behind him and straightening up. Now I understand why mom was always frustrated with us kids!!

HAPPY MONDAY!

Another lazy Saturday morning here, doing nothing but sipping on my coffee and browsing my favorite blogs. I keep telling myself to get up and go to the bagel shop but I keep finding all these pretty things I'm dying to share with you!! That and I've also been working on the layout of my blog. Believe it or not, its actually complicated to make things exactly the way you want them. And so, I've been playing with the "edit HTML" section. Yes, you read correctly, I'm editing HTML. Next step: figure out how to enlarge pictures. I read about it this morning, which sparked my curiosity. So bare with me, hopefully soon I'll get things the way I want!

Anywho, I've got the balcony door open and the pups are running in and out. Its pretty outside, and I just cant help but be glad its SUMMER!!! So, with that in mind, I'll leave you with some bright and cheery rooms to drool over. Happy Weekend!!

And I cant help but salivate over this room. I like the his and her aspect. This is definitely something that we will need in a house one day. "This is mine and this is yours" usually works best for us!! Basically, you keep your junk over there and mine stays here!!

WARNING: this one is gonna be somewhat about the dogs for your poo-poo'ers out there who have their comments :)

So, Tuesday and Wednesday, I was down in Orlando for a divisional meeting. Don't be jealous, all I saw was the airport...literally. We stayed in the Hyatt INSIDE the airport (not too shabby) and didnt go outside the whole time. So no Disney fun for me, at least this time! But all the while, Ryan helped and took care of the two pupsters. Yesterday, he was also keeping his sister's dog, Wyatt, and so when I came to pick up Madison and Hudson, I took a few shots at the zoo aka Ryan's house.

All three kids hanging out in Wyatt's portable crate. This thing is AWESOME...hint hint!!!

Little man gets jealous of any other dog getting attention from his daddy!

And look, its Ceasar Milan. (Yes, from here on till probably December, most pictures of Ryan will be of him shirtless. Not to my liking of course. But the kid is a sweat-er so in the summertime, I just give up that battle!)
