"I couldn't help it. I can't tell. When you gotta, you gotta." Sneezy from Snow White

ACHOO! That is the sound that has been coming from my poor sneezy dog for the past 24 hours...poor guy.

                                     

He had some Benadryl a little while ago, so I am hoping that it will help to keep him feeling better for a bit. He just sounds miserable.

I did open up the windows and doors today. It is GORGEOUS outside today! I figured that I can get some cleaning done today. I like cleaning when I can have the doors and windows open getting some fresh air. I should probably get off here and start actually cleaning!!

Tuesday...this week could stand to hurry by because I am looking forward to this weekend. I really love the 4th of July. It is my favorite holiday...fireworks, BBQ, being outside...I love it...

My mom was able to come up this weekend, and it was so good to see her. I know that she had a super wonderful visit, so that makes me happy. 

I could really use a project right now to work on to keep me busy. I think that I am going to get started on curtains for my classroom. I could really stand to get them done. I could probably stand to look at my new curriculum for teaching 5th grade, but that may be able to wait a couple more weeks. Sewing curtains sounds like WAY more fun! I do like the end product after I have sewn together fabric. 

Okay...I need to get motivated to make a trip to the store. The dog will really want to eat in the morning, but that will be hard if he is out of food. :)

Weekend...yay! I mean, every day is like the weekend right now because I am off all summer, but my hubby is home on the weekends. We are having a date night tonight, which makes me especially happy. Dinner and a movie. Yay!

Tomorrow is a bachelorette party...probably only going to stay the first half so that I can be home for my mom to visit Sunday. That, and my roomie had shoulder surgery, so she isn't really going to want to stay all night in that hot ickiness that is out there with her shoulder being in pain.

Mom is visiting this weekend and I am super excited to see her! This should be a wonderful weekend! :)

I've slacked a lot lately. I just haven't been in the mood to post, honestly. I don't feel like my days are exciting enough to post about.

I bought a new car...that's exciting...well, it should be exciting. The damn car had to be taken back to the dealership because of the engine light coming on. They "fixed" it and then it happened again. I took it back again and of course it wouldn't come on for them. It seems okay now. Also, when I bought it there was a crack in the windshield, so they fixed it for free. Today I was trying to roll down the back window and it won't go down. It makes it really hard to like this car, honestly. I am excited about the heated seats, sunroof, and hatch so Truman isn't riding on my seats anymore.

It is hotter than hot here this week. I am not interested in being outside at all. I feel bad because I need to take Truman for a walk of a morning. It is just so miserable outside and I don't do heat. Ick.

I visited my girlfriends in STL this weekend and saw Wicked. It was such an AMAZING show! I was so glad to see my best friends, hang out, see some shows, and just do nothing with them. They are the bee's knees, that's for sure.

Packed...Flip Camera bought...dog at his babysitter's for the weekend (Mr. S.'s dad)...housed picked up...ready for vacation!

Of course the washer decided to break on the last cycle of clothes last night. The seal split, so water started trickling out. I had to stop the washer, pull out soapy clothes, put them in the bathtub, and rinse them. Now I am working on drying them a few at a time on "Heavy Duty" in the dryer. Awesome. Just what I will want to deal with when I get back!

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

My goodness, this week lasted forever! I am on vacation and I still thought that it drug on and on. Maybe it's because I am getting excited for vacation and I am ready to leave!

Ready to hit Old Navy this morning for some last minute things for Mr. S. and myself. I love that place...it is out of control, really.

Palm trees, ocean breeze, salty air, sun kissed hair. That endless summer, take me there.

Heating and cooling guy is supposed to be here today. Between 9-11a.m. Really? I love that that is how they tell you when they'll be here. I mean, I get why they have to do that, but it just sucks. It's a good thing I am home this summer so that it isn't an inconvenience for me or Mr. S. to take off work and wait for them. I hope he comes closer to 9 so that I can still take Truman for a walk at the park. That has been our every morning goal, to go for about a 3 mile walk each morning. I like to go before it gets too hot though...and by about 10...ick, humidity.

Mr. S. and I went out on a little mini-date last night. It was really nice to go out and enjoy each others company. Especially since I have been at home and he just started a new job. It was good to catch up on his job and other things that are going on.

My list of things to start on after vacation has grown and I am glad that I am coming back and working super hard AFTER vacation! :)
