Gift Ideas

So, I got this idea from my friend, Jill. I thought it was a great idea...now I won't forget later on what I want/need! So here's the beginning...

Kitchen Cart (there is one at Target for $100.00, but I like these, also)

Small TV (for the bedroom)

Printer

Gift Cards (Target, Wal-Mart, Hickory Park, Red Lobster, Carlos O'Kelly's, etc.)

I'll add more as I think of them. Just search for posts for "Gifts"! :)

Tigger or Eeyore

"You have to decide of you're a Tigger or an Eeyore." - Randy Pausch

I love that quote. Are you going to live your life to its fullest? Are you having fun? Are you a Tigger? Or are you just getting by? Are you just living? Are you an Eeyore?

This quote was from Randy Pausch, the professor who gave "The Last Lecture" (http://www.thelastlecture.com/). I just read that he died today. His message is The Last Lecture is one everyone should think about.

So, the Tigger/Eeyore thing got me thinking. I want to be a Tigger. I feel that I'm somewhat stuck as an Eeyore right now, though. Sure, I have fun. But it's the same thing everyday. I get stuck in a rut. I want to break loose and have some fun!

Rain Rain GO AWAY

I'm so sick of this rain! Aaron was called in to the National Guard to help with flood relief. He's doing a good thing, and I know that not only do I appreciate what he's doing, but so do the other citizens!

Anyway, the cul-de-sac entrance has had water over it for the past week or so, but it wasn't too bad...I could easily drive through it. This is what I woke up to this morning.

Thankfully there was the little dry spot that I could back onto. But getting the rest of the way out was a little scary. I made it through going slowly (I had the brakes on to keep from going too fast). Once I was through, I heard some squeaking, but I let off the gas, and it went away. It smelled for a brief second...probably the heat burning off the water. Needless to say, I won't be parking in the driveway tonight! I'll have to park on the street north of us, then walk through the neighbor's yard and our back yard.

RAIN GO AWAY!!!!

Busy Weekend Coming

Tonight I plan to get groceries and then make ham roll ups. Tomorrow I'm going to the last cooking demo for the season, then I'm getting my hair cut (it's been about 8 months, after all!). Then I'll go home and finish making goodies to take to Roxanne's for Dad's 60th birthday. I'll probably go over there around 4:00 to help her with anything and set things up. Then it'll be time to grill out and have some fun.

Sunday I'll be working on sorting through things in the upstairs bedroom and cleaning up from the cats having their litter box and food in the basement. I also need to wash tae kwon do uniforms. So, it'll be a busy weekend, but at least 1/2 of it will be fun! :)

Poor Baby Update

The vet just called and they're done already! Wow! I thought it would be around 10:00 when they did her surgery, but I guess I was wrong! Now I won't have to worry so much about her. They even gave her the final distemper shot until next year! YEAH!!!!!

My Poor Baby

I dropped Bea off this morning to be spayed. She didn't even get to eat breakfast! I felt so bad for her. When we got to the vet's office, she looked so sad. Poor little thing. I'll miss seeing her at home tonight, as I don't pick her up until tomorrow (probably after work). The vet is supposed to call me after the surgery, so I should hear by noon or 12:30 how she did. I'm supposed to be in a meeting today, but I know my mind will be elsewhere until I hear from the vet.
