Sundays

Having a productive afternoon and am inspired to blog right quick. I am in the process of cleaning my room/office. That has been my one goal for the day. The room has gotten quite junky over the past few weeks and I have had lots of stacks to go through. Last week I was very under the weather, so I am playing catch up with the house cleaning and laundry. While I am cleaning my room, I am watching the UNC/NCSU basketball game. The final game of the ACC Tournament and decision maker for position in the NCAA tournament. It’s quite a nail bitter right now. There’s two minutes left so I will let you know the outcome. Yes, I am a junkie for March madness.

We finally celebrated Mr Chris’s birthday officially yesterday. Last Saturday was his birthday and we skipped town for a daycation to Charleston. It was a lot of fun and nice to get away. We are being cheap lately so we decided not to stay over night. We went to the beach at IOP, had ice cream and went into town to hang out. We had seafood for dinner and came home. It was a great way to spend his birthday.

Sophie has had a few more allergy problems so we visited the vet again on Friday. We are still trying different things to figure out all the problems she is going through. Poor little thing I feel so sorry for her. Maggie is still her healthy self. I think she has gained a couple more pounds, so now I think she is somewhere between 16 and 17 lbs. Although she is not exactly my big buddle of love. Yesterday both girls got to play outside because the weather was nice. We might do that again before dinner tonight.

Hope everyone has a great week. And yes, UNC won!! 2007 ACC Tournament Champs. Go Tarheels!!

OK so I wrote this earlier today and I can’t logon to post it. Hopefully I can get on later.

Updates

February has been a more productive month. My car is fixed, ticket has been taken care of and my insurance only went up $30. Whahoo! So far life is somewhat back to normal. Sophie is trucking along with her green pea and rabbit food. There is still something in the allergy department that is irritating her skin. So this week we are trying an antihistamine. So far, so good. My MIL is doing pretty well. She has surgery on Wednesday to remove the pins. She is excited but her pinky finger still needs a lot of time to heal. The skin is still very thin and looks really gross.

The big news in G-Vegas is that George and Renee are in town to film the movie Leatherheads. George has been seen downtown in a restaurant called O’s. Renee has also been seen at the downtown Starbucks several times. Also from what I hear, Jim (from the show The Office) will also be in the movie. I have heard no sightings of him yet. But when I do, my friend Melanie will be the first person I call. Of course after I try to go find him myself. Big fan!!!

Not much else going on. Next week we will celebrate Maggie’s birthday and then Mister Chris’ birthday. It’s a big one for Mister Chris….the big 3-0. I am still in the planning stages so I’ll let you know how it goes.

Not So Lucky 7

So it’s already the last day of January 2007. I am still getting used to writing the date. And 2007…that means 10 year high school reunion, YIKES. To go or not to go, that is the question. My friend Melanie and I have been discussing this issue for the past couple of weeks. Obviously our class president is quite on top of things to already contact us about the reunion in June. That is still 5 months away. And I thought I was a planner. But back to the question at hand. Should we make an appearance or stay in denial that it has been 10 years since we graduated high school. We want to go for curiosity’s sake, but do we really want to see all those people that we found annoying? On the other hand are we required to go and if we don’t show up, then will we be talked about in a negative way? So many questions to ponder. The best part is that we still have 5 months to decide.

So 2007, not so lucky 7. The first week of this year, I was in my very first car accident. Let me set the stage: Friday afternoon, interstate, raining. The fortunate part is that I was only going 10-15 miles per hour when the collision happened. The worse part is that I was bringing Sophie home from the vet (see next paragraph with updates on her). I was not paying attention and bumped the car in front of me. What a pain. I only did $800 total damage to both cars. And the ticket I received had no points and only $50. Wow, I have to say, not a bad experience for my first accident being my fault. But now I pay much more attention to the cars in front of me. Lesson learned.

So that day I was bringing Sophie home from her NEW vet. Exciting experience. I love this vet and I will not go back to the old one. The first trip in, they recommended a blood test because they were 95% sure it was a food allergy. And it is. Sophie is allergic to: beef, chicken, fish, pork, wheat, soy, carrots, beets, rice and many others. They only thing she is not allergic to is rabbit and green pea. So that’s what she eats. I am amazed they actually make this type of food. Now I am relieved to know what is wrong with her. After spending a year going back and forth to the old vet, it was quite nice to get answers on the first visit. Maggie will also be going there next time she needs her shots.

Also a quick update on my mother-in-law. Last week she had an accident at work and smashed her hand in a machine. She went to the ER and had surgery last Tuesday night. Her hand is getting better everyday and should have more surgery in about three weeks to remove 2 pins.

So here’s to finding the luck this year.
