Have you ever lost a pet?

This was posted outside of the Nickelodeon studio today. It says: LOST GIRAFFE "Earl" Very friendly, especially if you have food. If you see him please call.... XXX-XXX-XXXX

They actually posted what appears to be a real number, but I blocked it out. So, if you have actually seen this lost giraffe, contact me so I can give you the number. HaHaHa!

Numbers...

What's in a number. Do they mean anything to you? I have certain numbers that popped up in my life that I thought were, well, maybe they meant something. If you take the numbers 1 through 8, most of those numbers are something special, like an anniversary or a birthday. Even the way the numbers happened to be "used" was interesting. For example, 4/5 then going out, 3/6, etc. There are three significant events in our life on 4/5, 3/6, and 1/8. The only two numbers not used are 2/7. (Which happens to be today). For the last 16 years I thought there also had to be something significate to the numbers 2/7.... something special. Well, up to a while ago, I was waiting to see what it was. I did find out something about about those numbers. All the other events were happy ones, but this one just reminds me of bad events that happened. I guess I have to rethink my theory. But, who knows.....just throwing this out there!

Jammies

So I spent the last four days in my jammies in bed or on the couch sick. I told my husband I jinxed myself. On Friday, I told my boss that I was going to take two days off in the next few weeks because I did not want to max out on my PTO. Well , I ended up taking two days off but it was because I was sick. Grrrr! Don't you hate it when you have to use sick days (or PTO) for actual sick days?! I slept in until 2:00pm on three of those four days. I could probably have slept in yesterday until two but when I called my boss to let her know I wouldn't be coming in (again), I stayed up. My sleep shedule is a bit messed up from being sick. I will say though I think I am really glad I had my nose surgery (fix septum/polyp removal). I don't think I was a stuffy or nasally congested as I usually get when I get sick. I do have some chest congestion I have to work out. (Yuck!) I am feeling much better. I am at work and it was nice to not be in the house. The weather has been nice. It has been really windy, like SUPER windy. 65-75mile winds but with those winds comes clear beautiful skies! It makes for a nice drive into work.

Weekend...

Had a really nice weekend with the family! Spent some quality time with my son and husband. It was nice. :)

Mr. Wiggles...

Gunner dog left today to become an Explosive Detection Dog!! He begins his training tomorrow. I am sad to see him leave but am excited for all the good he will do in this crazy world! Once he is trained he will be assigned a handler and that will be his forever home. He will live with the handler and his family. They said they will update us and and send some pictures. I can't wait to see them.

Good Luck Gunny!! We love ya and will miss you! I know Riley dog will miss you too!

---Oh, why Mr. Wiggles? Well, when Gunner would wag his tail it wouldn't be just his tail it would be half of his body. So, he ended up with the nick name Mr. Wiggles!

Train Wreck...

So tonight starts the show "You're Cut Off" Season 2. I've heard a lot about one of the girls, Jenn. She worked on the Britney Spears Circus Tour with my husband. I've heard stories about the bus air conditioner, the taxi rides, the bus toilet, her watching the show instead of working, etc. She was the "Lollipop Girl" -- she had to walk around with a Britney Spears Lollipop and then direct people where to buy it. It will be interesting to watch this show. I did not watch last season but will watch this one because I heard the show is like a Train Wreck. Interested to watch this girl my husband knew while on Tour.
>>>>>So, guess she "celebrated" the premiere of the show just a bit too much! Not only was she on "You're Cut Off" but she was on "TMZ"!!

It's a new day, a new year....

The start of a New Year! We've had a nice start to the year. Spent some nice quality time with my boys. The next big thing is Saturday! My son's 16th birthday! I know I say it all the time, but where does the time go? My sweet lil baby is growing into a fine young man. He does need to refocus on his education but overall I am very happy with the young man he is turning out to be. This is going to be a good year for the three of us!!
