Stir Crazy

What does one do when they are stuck inside their home for 3 days? The past 2 days were not to bad because the weather was yucky but today, I look outside and two things happen. 1) I am longing to be out there basking in the sunshine where it is warm and letting the pup's play and 2) I wince and remember how bad the sunshine is killing my head and that if I go out these allergies will flair up and I will be home bound longer. Apparently I have a sinus infection and am "highly contagious" according to my doctor. So, here I am day number 3 stuck inside with the puppies (who are thoroughly enjoying my being home) and I can't go anywhere, see anyone etc. Yep, the stir crazy is setting in!

Oh and by the way, my laptop is back in action after a month and a half of not having it because the adapter died!

Hi there!

Kelly's Korner is having a show us your life singles edition. She has done it before and I thought to myself that it was a crazy idea but since I am trying to step out of my comfort zone this year I thought I would give it a try. (Sorry for the run on sentence there!)

So about me...

I am 28 and own my own home. I bought my cute little cape cod style home in June of '09 and I love it! I work for a Fortune 500 company in a profession I never thought I would get in to but love it and am considering getting my masters in it! I am a Christian and am involved with the singles group at my church. I have 2 puppies that are quite entertaining and I post a lot about them. I am a southern girl at heart born and raised here in Georgia. I LOVE my UGA Bulldogs and in the fall do not think of disturbing me during a game! Yes, I understand football and can hold a very lengthy conversation about it. Most of my extended family was all boys growing up so I was the football when we played together! That is just a little about me!

On my way to a friend's wedding ...

Happy 1st "Gotcha" Day Hershey!

One year ago yesterday I took a chance and made mad dash to the Lumpkin County Humane Society and brought home this sweet boy!

Each year on the puppies 1st birthday/"gotcha" day we celebrate with cupcakes. When Chloe had her first birthday we celebrated with pink frosting... this time Hershey had blue frosting and the girls had yellow frosting. They were quite happy with their treats!

Happy 1st Gotcha Day Hershey!

Snowed In

Well the weather men were correct! I spent most of Sunday evening in denial thinking we were not going to get any snow. I looked outside at 11 pm and absolutely nothing...at 11:30pm 2 inches of snow! I am getting cabin fever from being stuck at the house. I have worked from home the past 2 days because the roads are so bad. The snow has a 1/4 inch layer of ice on top of it. Hershey is none to happy about going outside and I have let Chloe out only twice because she will get lost in the snow! Here are a few pictures....

Book Review #1

I just finished reading "The Third Secret" by Steve Berry. It was a good book and fairly easy to read. If you like the DaVinci Code then you would probably enjoy this book. It takes place within the Vatican and its main characters are the Pope, his Papal Secretary, and a few other important higher ups in the Roman Catholic Church. While this was a fiction story there is A LOT of fact in the book. It references John Paul II and other past Pope's. The story surrounds the apparitions of the Virgin Mary that took place in Fatima in 1917. The story line surrounds this apparition and reveals that there was more to the third secret that John Paul II revealed in 2000. This is the fiction part... or is it? The only negative comment I have is that the book sped up and slowed down quite a bit so by the end I was just ready for it to end but over all it was a good easy read!

Happy New Year! (5 days late!)

So as I began to think of the new year starting and the fact that I am turning the big 3-0 in just 17 very short months I thought I needed to get back on the blog band wagon. Mostly to hold my self accountable for my goals/resolutions that I am making. I thought about doing 30 before 30 but I knew I would probably not achieve that many items...that and I couldn't think of 30 things! So I am just going to randomly set goals for myself over the next year and a half starting with these:

1) Let go... reduce my control. Let things just flow. I love to be in control and know how everything is going to flow and end. I think that I would gain so much from others and learn a lot if I just let loose a little and let everything go with the flow.

2) Attend church service (not just Sunday School Class) 3 out of 4 Sunday's each month.

3) Be on time! I am a notorious 5 minute late person!

4) Be financially more stable.

5) Replace my roof.

6) Teach Chloe to be a more sociable dog. (And Hershey too!)

7) Read 12 books in 12 months and write a blog review. I have almost finished my book for January so I will post a review soon.

8) Blog more often! This will help make me remember events and things I have done!

I am sure there will be more to come but this is a good start!
