Busy Weekend

Rach, KK and I went to the BHS game on Friday night.

We didn't really care so much about the football part of the game. We were there to support the band. We even made our own tshirts. This is KK modeling the front of the shirt.

And the back...

KK sat with us for a while...but soon ditched us to hang with her pals. She's quite the social butterfly.

Rach and I saw someone we knew...and did NOT want to talk to. This is us being scared that she might actually join us. She did...but we ran her off by totally ignoring her. GASP! We're so mean.

Then my most favoritest peeps showed up! ABB and SBB! Woot!

ABB and Rach were instant BFF's!

I spent lots of time holding CBB #2.

Pals!

Rach's BFF is the drum major in the BHS band. This is Mariah...drum major-ing. =)

The BHS band.

Mariah came to hang out with us during 3rd quarter. She was very upset because she "dropped 3 beats"...whatever that means. This is Rach and Mariah being sad over the lost beats. Only...Mariah couldn't stop smiling after I asked her to "be sad".

This is Rach, ABB, SBB and CBB being shocked that BHS actually won the football game. (Actually this pic was taken much earlier in the night, but it works here in my picture story!)

Also this weekend... I took Sam to the dog park for the very first time. He didn't quite know how to react. He didn't run around and play like I expected him to. I think he was overwhelmed by all the dogs (BIG DOGS) that were there. We didn't stay long because ginormous mosquitoes were eating us alive!!!

Sam...sitting on the bench next to his mommy.

He spent most of his time up on this log...watching the action around him.

Getting to know the other dogs.

I'm not sure if I'll take him back. The dog park is a long way from my house and he didn't really enjoy himself. I think I'll stick to frequent play dates in our own house. =)

Photobucket Fun...

I've been slacking on the Project 365 photos...

Pop art fun on photobucket.

Family pic. Sam didn't find this as fun as I did.

Indulge Me UMKAY?!

Sam is my only "child". I lub my widdle, handsome man. Here's a video of me trying to wake him up one morning. It's almost 2 mins of pure cuteness. He is soooo not a morning dog. He insists on belly rubs before he will get outta bed. Sometimes it takes MORE than belly rubs. Sometimes I have to bribe him with treats. Can we say, "SPOILED?!"

Christmas...

I was very lazy over Christmas and New Year. Yay me! I was off work 12/24 thru 1/1 and it was heavenly. I slept A LOT, watched movies and actually WENT to the movies three times.

My family's Christmas tradition is to get together on Christmas Eve. We eat a bunch of junk food, play games and open gifts. On Christmas day we sleep late and then all go to a movie together. This Christmas was especially fun because we had all of our doggies together. I have a few pics from Christmas Eve. Unfortuntately, I wasn't a good camera person...I didn't get ANY pics of us playing games or opening prezzies. It was basically all about the dogs. See below:

On Christmas Day, we went to see National Treasure: Book of Secrets. It was pretty good. Very entertaining. A couple days later, mom and I went to see P.S. I Love You. OMG! It is definately a chick flick. I really loved it. I was afraid that it would be a major bawlfest, but I only teared up once. I laughed thru most of it. Bonus: there are really hot, Irish guys in it. Yay!

Christmas night, I hung out with Abi (rommie's daughter). Here are some pics from that:

Abi and I with the dogs (no makeup...yikes!)

Blah, Blah, Boredom...

Hello pals. I'm spending the night at Steph's tonight so we can see how Sam handles being here will her and Jack all day while I'm at work. He's used to roaming the countryside while I'm working so it'll be a big difference for him. Steph works from home, so he'll be able to hang out inside with her. Yay! I have to give my notice to my landlord tomorrow. After that, there's no turning back. Sam will just have to get used to being a lazy, inside dog. =) Actually, I'll have to start taking him on walks when we officially move in. I wouldn't want him to turn in to a little fatty.

Anyhoo, Steph and I went to church today. I didn't sleep last night, so I had to FORCE myself to go. When we got there, we found out that the pastor was away on vacation and there was a fill in pastor from Malvern. He had to be AT LEAST 80 years old. Bless him. He talked so slow...and in RHYMES! NO LIE! Hehe. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE old peeps, but it was NOT the kind of sermon I needed after a night of no sleep. So, church was uneventful.

Last night, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Steph had bought Abi season passes to the Arkansas Children's Theater. She has 3 tickets for each of the 6 shows this season. I said, "OMG! I love children's theater!" And Steph said, "Do you want to take her?" Yippee! Apparently Steph isn't big on theater. GASP! I love it! So, after church today I grabbed some lunch and then took Abi and her friend, Morgan, to see The Ugly Duckling. It was very cute! We had a great time. I can't wait until the next show...The Boxcar Children!! Yay!

I didn't go to church tonight. Basically I've just been wasting many hours playing TV Trivia on Facebook. I'm such a loser. I left my book at home (the final Harry Potter) and I didn't have anything else to do. Hence this very boring blog! I'm about to get ready for bed and read one of Abi's books. It's The Secret of The Peaches. She loved it and insists that I read it. =)

Nighty nite Pals!

Sam and Jack: Take 2

I'm at Steph's house right now. I'm happy to report that the humping is minimal! Hehe. Sam is very tired today and doesn't really feel like playing. Jack is GOING CRAZY trying to get Sam to play with him. He's making these ear splitting yelps... Anyhoo, I feel like this is progress. He has barely humped Sam today. And everytime he tries, Sam will growl at him.

Yay progress. Hopefully the next time we get together they will be able to just CHILL.

In other news...I found an old notebook of mine. It was something that I put together when I was doing a unit on The Sanctity of Human Life for the high school girls. This is a subject that is very important to me. I did a lot of research and put together notebooks for the girls...full of abortion information and alternatives. I had also typed up some of my testimony to use as a guide when I told the girls my story.

Anyway, I haven't looked at it since 2003! Last night I read it and...wow. It brings back so many memories and feeling that I had supressed. I'm debating whether or not I should write about it here. What do you think? ABB, you're the one who REALLY reads my blog and you know the story already. Do you think I should write about it here? Would you want to read it?

Sam and Jack's First Meeting...

Now only one things stands in the way of my moving in with Steph...whether or not our dogs can get along! I took Sam for a sleepover this Saturday. It was wild. =)

My dog, Sam, is so mellow. I mean, his real name is Samuel L. Jackson! I named him that cause he's so chilled out. He's one bad mo fo! Hehe. Anyway, Sam's very loving and playful. He gets along with everyone and doesn't ever seem to meet a stranger.

Sam

Jack, a Min Pin, is completely opposite. He's sweet, but sooo high strung. He barks like crazy at people and dogs he doesn't know. When there aren't any other dogs around, he loves to cuddle and give hugs and kisses. As soon as I brought Sam into the house...things went crazy.

Jack

First of all, Sam was very scared of Jack's loud, crazy bark. I had to hold Sam in my arms so Jack could sniff him. Poor Sambo was shaking like a leaf. It took him a while to get used to that. Once he'd calmed down I let him go and immediately Sam tried to play with Jack. All Jack wanted to do was lick Sam's po-po or hump Sam. I mean for HOURS Jack sniffed/licked and tried to hump Sam. They ran in circles in the house and in the yard forever. Sam eventually got tired of being humped and starting going for Jack's throat...not to hurt him, but to hold him down. It was so CRAZY! I felt so bad for Sam. Even when they were both WORN out, Jack couldn't leave Sam alone.

Hours of this...

Sam getting tired of it...

So, I'm not sure what's going to happen. They never really fought. Sam actually had fun running all over the place. I think that they will eventully be friends...IF JACK CAN STOP HUMPING SAM! =)

Worn out!

Waiting for his treat...Sonic tater tots!

Happy to be going home.

Whew!

My Baby, Sam

My dog was missing for two days! Yesterday, I went to every house in my neighborhood and drove around for two hours looking for him! This morning I called the pound and the humane society. I made a ton of fliers. I've basically been worthless (as far as sleep and work goes) since I found out he was missing...

But Shane, my landlord, just called me... SAM SHOWED UP! Yippee! Apparently he's been on a two day adventure with two other dogs from our neighborhood...Moose and Hooch. BAD DOGS! He said they were exhausted and filthy, but they're home safe! Yay!

Thank you Lord for bringing my baby home!

Here are pics of the two dogs that led my dog astray. Hehe.
