A little update from the last few days... from Jen, but still.

I have a marvelous family reunion tomorrow! Actually, it is quite fun. And LOTS of food! So after that, I should be posting my own thoughts about the weekend.

We have had a blast, done lots of shopping that should last me to the end of eternity for scrappy stuff (should being the key word), and watched some NFL!

So yea, check back soon!

Tag Book

Here is a little tag book that I just finished making! That's all for today! :)

364 more days

I'm totally a kid when it comes to my birthday. I love it. It's the greatest day of the year. So August 5th is probably my least favorite day of the year, because it's the day that my next birthday couldn't be farther away from. The only good thing about today is that my birthday cake wasn't ready yesterday, so we are having cake tonight. From Coldstone. Yum!

Yesterday was a good day. I got all kinds of calls and texts from friends and family! And I got some scrapping done, and that always makes for a good day. We went out to eat last night at Arigato's and got waaaay too much food. It was DELISH!!!

Jen is coming on Thursday and we are going to Charlotte on Friday for lunch w/her sister and to check out to scrap stores down there.

Good news about my baby girl! Her platelets are back up! We took her to the vet yesterday and they just called and said that they looked good! So we are headed to my mom's house to get Titan in a few minutes. I know it probably sounds silly to people who don't have pets and who just don't get it, but I think they miss each other. They haven't seen each other in over a week, and neither one knows what happened to the other one.

Update!

So the baby girl is home as of Thursday afternoon. She was verrrry sleepy yesterday and today. I assume she didn't get much sleep in the doggie ICU. I know we don't let people get much sleep. I think she is finally catching up on her rest and getting to be her old self again. I hope, at least. She did get sick this morning because I gave her all her meds and then she didn't eat. The thing about Tierra is that she is a spoiled little princess. And apparently, when she was at the vet, they gave her canned food. So when she got home... and I gave her DRY food!!!! OMG, she was so offended! LOL So I had to go to the grocery store just to get food for her. Since I did that, she has been much better! :)

On another note, I'm still sad about the beach, but the thing that's getting me through it is that is knowing that my super great friend is coming down on Thursday! YAY! Props to her, by the way, for making the Say It In Scrap Design Team. She rocks. Yea, so we are definitely going to get some scrapping done next week, for sure! Speaking of which... there's a couple new LO's for you to enjoy up there! ^^^^^^

Ok, so that's all for now! I gotta get in the bed so I can go to work tomorrow. ICK!

No more beach trip :(

So the last few days I have been in denial, but now I've come to terms with the fact that our beach vacation is a no-go. My little baby girl Tierra is in the vet hospital and has been since Monday night. Here's what happened. Monday night, she was bleeding a little and I noticed a lot of bruising on her abdomen and legs. When I saw the bruising, I knew something was wrong and we took her to the emergency vet. When we first got there, they took her right back. They came out a couple minutes later and asked if she had gotten into any poison or chemicals! Yea, that's not gonna scare me at all! But no, she hadn't. So they ran some bloodwork... 2 hours later, they said they wanted to keep her for the night because her platelets were really low. As in like, almost non-existant. So, needless to say, I was freaking out.

The next morning, they re-ran the labs and they were still the same. The ultrasound of her abdomen was normal, so that's good, I guess. It's probably an auto-immune disease that is killing her platelets. The only thing to do is just wait for her platelets to come up. The vet called me this morning to say that they wanted to keep her tonight, too, and then we will recheck things again in the morning and see where we stand. So far, her platelets haven't gone up at all.

Yesterday, we went to go see her and she is so sweet. She doesn't even act like anything is wrong with her. Of course, I took my camera to get some pictures, so here they are:

So there are two problems with the beach trip that seem to be hindering it, one is that the emergency vet certainly ain't cheap, and two is that when Tierra does get to come home, if her platelets aren't back to normal yet, she can't be around other dogs, especially Jasmine. If Jasmine were to pounce on Tierra (which is a great possibility), there is a chance that Tierra might bleed. The original plan was to keep the doggies at my parent's house while we were at the beach, but now, Titan and Jasmine have to stay with them anyway. And if we go to the beach, where will Tierra go? Therefore, no beach trip this weekend.

Hopefully tomorrow my little baby will be able to come home. Keep your fingers crossed.

Whew!

We are aaaalmost done with the room! We finished putting together the storage stuff today and I organized my stuff and OMG, I love my room. The only thing left to do is put up my peg board (cuz I'm copying my friend Jen). So yay, I can't wait to scrap.

Speaking of not being able to wait for something... Brandon and I are going to the beach next weekend! I am so ready to go. And here's what I want to do while we are there... nothing. Absolutely nothing. I want to sit on the beach and read a book and get a tan. We are going to Wrightsville Beach, which I have never been to. I had thought about going to Hilton Head, because I've heard good things about that beach, too, but we went with Wrightsville. Either way, I just want a beach. We are going to be down for my birthday, so that should be fun!

And as for our computer, it's dead. The hard drive is shot. And what I want to do is just get a new computer, but I don't know if I can get Brandon to go for that, but I'm working on it. He wants to just rebuild ours.

Changing subjects again... who watched So You Think You Can Dance on Thursday night? Well, if you didn't, then don't. It's depressing. Although, Comfort did go, so that was good. But Will went home... WTF is wrong with America???

Ok, so keep your fingers crossed that I can get a new computer, but until that decision gets made, I will continue to computer-nap my mom's.

Oh yea, on a side note, my birthday is less than 2 weeks away... just in case anyone wants to know! lol The actual day is August 4th, but I will be accepting presents anytime before or after that as well. :)

Hope everyone has a good rest of the weekend!

Scrap-iness=Happiness

So, here's some new ones from my scrapping weekend in Baltimore. We are redoing our office-slash-my scrapping room. I have nowhere to scrap right now and it's driving me CRAZY! Hopefully, we are painting tomorrow and then finishing up on Thursday, which means *gasp*, time to organize scrap stuff! Yay!

Let me not forget to give props to my girls Cathy and Aja for their labels that I used on a few of these LO's. Check out their etsy stores here: Aja and Cathy
