Take me out to the ball game...

Tuesday night I headed to Turner Field with 5 of my new friends from church to see the Braves take on the New York Mets. This was the view we had. We had outfield seats and could barely see the ball when it was pitched.

But we still had a lot of fun! Here are the girls...Myself, Jennifer, and Kristen.It was a pretty good game. The Braves scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 3rd. Jennifer and I had gone to get something to eat and missed Troy Glaus hitting a home run! Jeff Francour, who now plays for the Mets, scored a home run in the top of the 5th. Everytime he came up to bat the crowd BOOOO'ed him! And whoever caught his home run ball threw it back on the field! The Mets tied it up in the top of the 5th and the game was scoreless until the 9th inning. In the top of the 9th the Mets came way to close to winning but the Braves held them off. And then in the bottom of the 9th the Braves had a man on 1st and 2nd and Melky Cabrera hit the ball to 3rd where it was caught and thrown to 1st but it bounced out of the 1st baseman's glove and we were able to score, winning the game 3 to 2!

Out with the old...In with the new...

What do you do when your dogs cause destruction to your precious laptop? And it looks something like this...

Well, if you are me, you deal with it. Because, while the battery is dead and you have to keep it plugged in at all times and your missing 6 keys on the keyboard at the end of the day it does still turn on and you are able to type. But, when I was shuffling thru the paper on Sunday evening I ran across an add for a laptop that I could not pass up. So, out with the old beat up one...you will be missed. You and I have been thru quite a lot! But, in with the new...

The MOST amazing toast...

Toast....I know. It seems kinda bland. You can put jelly on it and make it a little tastier. And it is a great item if your tummy is doing flip-fl0p's. But this post....

This post clarifies the most amazing way to make cinnamon toast. Trust me...just try it. Granted, I didn't add in the vanilla...and it was still that good.

Power

Power is a beautiful thing. It provides light in the dark, heat in the cold, air in the heat, electricity to turn on TV's, alarm clocks, and laptops. Needless to say it provides a lot of useful things. Useful things you don't realize you are in need of until it is gone. I arrived home this evening to a power truck pulling up in front of my driveway. When I walked into my house I noticed that the clocks were out which told me the power was out. I thought it was no big deal since the power company had just pulled up. Boy was I wrong. After eating dinner, reading for a while, and finally resorting to taking a nap, I had had enough. Apparently instead of turning my power back on they had simply checked and left. So, I placed a call to report my power outage. Luckily, they responded in about 30 minutes and quickly had the power back on. But, I had my bag packed ready to head to my parents to spend the night. Funny what a simple thing you THINK power is, until it is gone! I mean, do you really think my boss would have believed me showing up late to work with wet hair and the excused of..."sorry, my power was out!"?

Girlfriends

I am blessed beyond measure to have 2 great groups of girlfriends. These are girls that know all my good traits and all my dirty little secrets. They are girls I can laugh with, cry with, ask stupid questions to (and not feel stupid asking it), but most importantly these are girls that love me for who I am. The top picture are my church girls. We were in a small group together a couple of years ago and we have been inseparable since. Life has had its ups and downs and we have faced it together. Two (almost 3) of us are married. One has a precious little boy. One now live in Las Vegas. We are each different in our own ways...but we accept that and love each other for it. (By the way, I can't find a good picture of all 8 of us!)

The second picture is my girlfriends from college...which again is not all of us. These are girls who I basically grew up with. We went thru a time in our lives together where we learned to do a lot on our own and figured out what life was really about with out your parents doing everything for you. Most of them are married with children. Its harder for us to get together but when we do its like we have never been apart.

I love both of these groups of girls and I don't know what I would do without them! If you don't have a core group of girlfriends you are missing out!

Long time no see...

Its been quite some time since I posted anything. A lot has been going on but at the same time not much has been going on. I know that was a contridiction...but, hey! So whats the latest on me? Well..



- Still loving the new job. I actually don't mind going into the office 5 days a week. We have a lot of fun and laugh a lot.

- Allergy season is in full force! I was forced to break down and go to the doctor this year since I was taking the 24 hour Claritin every 12 hours. I was quickly referred to an Allergist for testing. I just hope to get some relief. The hives so far have not been fun!

- Mom's birthday is this weekend. She will be _ _ years young! Ha, you actually thought I would tell her age on here? I kind of like breathing! But, she is the best Momma a girl could ask for and I wish her only the best!

- I bought a washer and dryer. You know that your an adult when you make a big purchase like this! No more making "fun" purchases... well this was a fun purchase, just different.

- Hershey and Chloe are still doing well and getting along.

- Hershey has a few odd behavior's that we are still working thru. Certain noises drive him CRAZY! The swiffer commercial on TV...they also play it on HULU...if I don't mute it in time he will start crying and running thru the house. He also has seperation anxiety over me. If I leave him at Mom and Dad's house he gets very restless after a couple of hours and is ready to go home.

- There is a lot coming up in the next few weeks so hopefully I will be posting more...

***This one is for you mom....no more saying that I never update my blog! :)
