Nothing really new to report, I just know I haven't blogged in a couple of weeks and thought I would write a few thoughts.
Just did some dishes. Man I hate housework. Seriously. I don't mind laundry but I hate the folding. Literally all of our clothes, clean mind you, are littering the laundry room, living room couch, and the guest bedroom. I am going to work at folding the clothes this weekend and putting them away. Granted I say this every weekend but this might be the weekend. You never know.
This morning my mom and I got up early and went to breakfast. My breakfast was delicious. We went to Madden's in Bryan (Texas). I had the Creme Brulee French Toast which was to die for. I could have used a double dose of this delicious meal! My mom had the Eggs Tostada which was pretty good too. After breakfast we went to the Brazos Center for the annual Christmas Craft Show. This is my third year attending. It is such a wonderful little show. Every year there is a booth filled with goodies painted with snowman. The crafter does such a fantastic job with her wonders. She uses old things that she finds such as beat-up suitcases, coal buckets, kitchen utensils, wooden ironing boards, you get the idea. Each year I have bought something for my sister because she collects snowman stuff. I can't tell you what I got her this year as she reads my blog. Although I have hinted to her that I visited this booth, now whether she took the hint or not... I just noticed that my sister hasn't blogged in a month. I need to get on her.
My mom and I had to kind of rush this morning to make sure we could make it to the vet's before noon. Tiger, one of our newest additions to the pet family, has been sick. She has been at the vet's since Thursday. Tiger is a momma dog that we found down the road with one of her babies. So Tiger and Lucky have been the 15th and 16th addition to our dog posse. Lucky is named that because he was in the middle of the road when my stepdad happen to drive by. He rescued them and named the pup Lucky. Anyways, back to Tiger. Wednesday Tiger started vomiting. She continued through the next day so we decided to take her to the vet. The vet thought she might have ulcer's because of the color of the vomit. Gave her two shots and some pills. I took her home. All day long, mom tried to feed Tiger the pills with no luck. Tiger wouldn't take her pill with anything! That afternoon, I went to visit Tiger and could tell she just wasn't feeling well. I called the vet and alerted them that I would probably be bringing her back. I figured I could wait until Friday morning but went ahead and took her in Thursday afternoon. So I have called the vet on a daily basis. They can't really say there is anything wrong with her. The problem is that she won't eat and hasn't pooped. The vet wanted to make sure she was eating and to see the poop to make sure it was okay. So now we are on a waiting game. They are keeping her hydrated through an IV. My mom and I went by the vet today to visit Tiger just in case we couldn't bring her home. Needless to say it was just a visit and she will be at the vets until at least Monday. I feel so bad for her. She just looks so sad. Doesn't even wag her tail for my mom and me... which is highly unusual!
Bought some fabulous fabric at my local quilt store, Lone Star Quiltworks, on Friday. The fabric is fabulous, all Moda. I got a yard that looks like a paint by numbers painting not quite finished with birds. The colors are green, red, teal, brown, and orange. I thought I would make a little valance for my crap {scrap} room. Doesn't really have enough orange in the fabric to suite me but I couldn't resist it. I kept going back so figured it was a keeper. The other fabric, about a yard and a half, is five different fabrics in green, teal, and brown that are super-freaking-fantastic. I have a little project that I want to make with these fabrics... we'll see. I can't quite reveal the project as it is a gift.
Haven't done too much scrapping lately. I did a layout for A True Friend pet challenge blog that I haven't posted yet. I have several projects I need to get done this weekend. Another layout for A True Friend and several purse inserts for Memory Purses. My goal is to get them done by Sunday night so I can scan at work on Monday. Keep your fingers crossed.
A while back I was tagged by two chix, Aimeslee and Michele, so here is my response:
1. Link to the person that tagged you and post these rules on your blog before you answer.
2. Share 7 random and/or weird facts about yourself (on your blog, we all want to know them).
3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs. (But don't tag me back).
4. Let each person know that they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Here are my 7 random/weird facts:
1. I want a tattoo. I seriously love tattoos but don't have any myself. I told my sister that for my 40th birthday, my mom, my sister, and I are going to get a tattoo. They are inked while I am a ink virgin. I have seriously been thinking about what I want and today my tattoo decision is to get 4 stars. But I don't want just black, I want some color to them. My back up is to get a 4 on my right shoulder and a 0 on my left shoulder in a really fancy scripty font.
2. I can make myself cry thinking about my dog Baby passing. I am tearing up now just writing this. She isn't gone yet but when I think about how much longer I have with her, I cry. Baby just turned 10 in September. She has been blind for about 2 years now. Baby was a gift to me from my aunt when I got married to my ex. So this month, December, Baby has been my baby for 10 years. While she is a grumpy old dog that wants to sleep or ride in the car, she is my grumpy old dog and I can't imagine life without her. I don't want to imagine life without her.
3. I love my car. I have a 2005 Ford Freestyle. This is the fanciest and most expensive car I have ever owned and probably will ever own. It has three rows of seating, DVD player, and sunroof. It is a wonderful car. I bought it pre-owned from the dealer my family buys from... it was the car of the wife of the dealer owner. So it was practically brand new with less than 4,000 miles on it.
4. I hate my hair. I am need of a haircut right now. I am always in search of the perfect haircut by the perfect hairdresser, as is everyone! My problem is that I am basically lazy. It would take about 3 minutes a day to fix my hair to where it would be cute. That is too much trouble. I want to just wash and wear. So I am struggling with how I want my hair to be cut to minimize the trouble with making it cute. Impossible.
5. I love action, shoot 'em up, bloody movies. I love romantic and comedy movies too. Hate, absolutely hate scary movies. I have nightmares from watchin scary movies. No, I am not 3 years old but I still get nightmares!
6. I love to eat breakfast for supper. Tonight in fact I had bacon and egg tacos for supper. I am so thankful I moved to Texas and was introduced to the breakfast taco. No the breakfast burrito but the breakfast taco.
7. I had a punk mohawk in the 80's. Don't know what possessed me. In the early 80s I started wearing my hair punk/new wave. Who didn't!?!?!?! My sister and I were attending a street fair where there was a hairstylist booth set up. Something struck and I cut my hair in a mohawk. Really the sides of my head weren't shaved bald but were shaved really short. I rocked that hawk for several months! It was fantastic.
So there you have 7 random/weird facts about me. I am not going to tag anyone. Feel free to tag yourself and reveal some weirdness about yet.
BTW, I don't think I ever posted this layout here. Anyways, you should see this poor layout now. Got caught in the seats of my car and it tore up from the floor up. I told my sister I was going to scan it and show what happens when good layouts go bad!
