I am now a proud shih tzu owner!

We've been talking about getting a puppy for awhile now. We've been looking around and hunting for the right one. We went to a pet store and spent some time with some of their puppies to see if we liked any of the breeds. None of them seemed to fit us. Not to mention the dogs they have at the pet store were set up on a monthly payment program that was set up through three years... with interest.

I was at one of my sisters houses on Thursday and she had just bought my niece a Shih Tzu a few weeks back for her birthday. I picked her up and fell in love with her! I already knew I liked Shih Tzus because a friend of mine has two and they are incredible.

I get home yesterday and my sister calls to tell me that a lady she knows has a litter of shih tzus weaned from the momma and ready to go... get this.. for $75. That's a steal. I have the papers to go get him registered if I'd like. He's up to date on his shots except for rabies because she's not old enough yet.

He's adorable.

The baby is a bit jealous right now... she's already gotten better at being "nice" to him just the few hours he's been home. She got a little better at "petting" him and not hitting him on the head and poking him in the eye. lol

He rode on my lap the entire drive home and slept the majority of it. At one point he stood up and started backing up... before I could grab him he fell between the door and the seat... then looked at me like "why'd you let me do that?"... just too cute.

*slap*

I'm such a failure! I told myself I'd blog often and it's been forever!

I'm already done with my visit back home with my sister from Alaska. It was great. I already miss them.

My husband and I got season passes to 3 different amusement parks for the summer. We've already been twice in less than a week and plan on going when we can. We have a blast when we go!

We went out of town yesterday and did some puppy shopping.

We spent some time with a beagle, a pug and a miniature doberman pincher. I liked them all, but none of them jumped out to us and was the dog we just had to have. We're doing our absolute best research on this because it's an extension of our family so we want something we will be totally happy with.

We are purchasing a boat tomorrow and we're sooo excited. We'll probably be spending a lot of time out of the lake now. So our summer will probably be filled with roller coasters and boating.

In less than a month we will be celebrating our 1 year wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's already been a year!

What an accomplishment. lol

Close to sister time!

In less than 48 hours I'll be back home and seeing my sister that I haven't seen in 2 years! I'm extremely excited to catch up on everything! This will be the first time for her to meet my daughter. Gosh, I hate being so far away from close family.

I'm doing camera research again and now want the d40. Hopefully I'll have it by the end of this year. My fingers are crossed atleast.

I'm on a huge Tegan and Sara kick right now. Ever since my SIL and I were talking about the concert she went to... I started listening to them again and now that's my "me" time at night. If hubby is working at night and after the baby goes down... I edit picture, play mahjong titans and listen to Tegan and Sara. Love it!

That's all for now... I think.

dun, dun, dun... I'm a slacker.

It's totally been slipping my mind about blogging! I've been feeling so busy!

A few days last week I went home to visity my family and that was fun as always. I love going home.

This weekend I'll be babyless. I probably won't know what to do with myself.

My sister-in-law is meeting us early Friday morning to get her and she'll bring her back sometime on Sunday. I've been with the baby every single day since December. That was my last break. I'm gonna miss her so much!

On the 18th I'll be going back home for a week. My oldest sister that lives in Alaska will be visiting so I'm going home so I can see them for a few days. I've haven't seen them in two years! That's way way too long.

We'll be going to an amusement park while they're here and staying the night out of town. I'm so excited!

A quickie.

ok, so I'm really tired and I have the tub filling up for a nice hot bubble bath! I'm copy and pasting this from flickr...

(I went back home for a couple of days)

The trip was fun for the most part... I love seeing my family! but...The reason I even went up there is because my sister owns a daycare and needed someone to watch the kids... so I went to do my sister a favor. Along with my daughter, I was watching 8 other little ones... Whom do not behave. There's one little girl who asked 50 million questions... I was at one point spraying air freshner in the living room (my niece puked everywhere in the living room, but that's a different story) and the little girl asked me what I was doing. I told her I was spraying anti-kid spray. lolAt one point I had 3 screaming babies (one of them being mine because she was in big trouble for throwing a toy car at a 3-month-old.) I watched one episode of scooby doo for, no kidding, 5 hours straight... over and over again. I got spit up on and didn't bring an extra shirt... got peed on and didn't have extra pants. Not to mention I only got 2 hours of sleep the night before because we had terrible storms with tornadoes on the ground in areas surrounding us.Then today...Everything started out fine. My mom took the baby and I out to eat... we went to the mall and shopped around and got my nieces birthday presents because her party was today. My mom and I had to drive seperate because my sister wanted me to take prom photos after the bday party... Anyway... on the way there, I had to get on the interstate and as soon as I was on the ramp a lady decides to run me off the road and into a bridge messing up our wheels and she got away... she stopped and then took off. I didn't get her tag numbers because I was trying not to get hit by the cars behind me... I'm all upset over our wheels and call my husband because I'm all shaken up... it's a miracle that the only thing I got out of it was scuffed wheels. I get back on the highway and no later than two minutes a fed ex semi gets up beside me and comes over in my lane running me onto the shoulder. Now I'm stressed and pissed. He did realize what he and got over so I could get back on the road... what a gentleman.I'm now home but most importantly the baby and I are safe.
