March 11th Update

Hi Everyone. We don't have much to report. We had a good weekend. This morning I worked in the yard. I had to cut back the rose bushes and the Esperanza's. I mowed the grass but it started raining before I could do the edging and weed-eating. Its supposed to rain for the next few days so I guess I will get a reprieve from yard work.

Our next door neighbors are doing alot of construction on their house and it's going really quickly. They are adding a second story on to their house and it's amazing how they got it framed up and got the roof on in 2 days. The rain should keep their hammers and saws quiet for a while (hopefully). Actually, they don't make much noise. Most of the noise comes from Daisy barking at the construction workers.

The salon is doing really well. I had a slow stretch the first 2 weeks of February, but so far March has been much busier.

There isn't much else do say so I'll sign off for tonight. Battlestar Galactica is about to start so I'd better get comfortable. For those of you who dont watch it, it's on SciFi channel Sundays at 9pm. It's a really good show.

Great Video!

Hi Everyone. I stumbled upon this video on YouTube. I've watched it many times and I still love it every time. I thought you might like it too.

Jealous?

The only real reason for this blog posting is to make all of the women (and men too, I guess)who read this jealous. My boss, Petra, has this incredible boyfriend named Paul. He's a really nice guy who owns a few McDonald's locations. Last week he brought her these roses. From what I understand, you have to special order these roses from Ecuador 3 months in advance. When they arrived, the stems were 6 feet tall and the actual flowers were as big as my fist and they weren't even open yet. The florist next door to the salon takes them every 2 days and cuts the stems down to keep them fresh. SO, tell your husbands that you want some of these next valentines day. I have NO idea how much they cost but I'm pretty sure I can't afford them.

How do I explain this????

Ok, so here's the thing. Remember the truck that Mark bought in January? Well, he decided he didn't like it. He was honestly having alot of remorse for buying such an impractical vehicle when he has always been one who chastises others who have big honkin' SUV's when in reality they have no reason to own such a gas guzzler. He was beating himself up for compromising his principals. SO, after owning it for less than 60 days, we traded it in on a new car. We bought a Toyota Corolla S. It's silver and it gets really good mileage. He is now going to drive the Toyota Yaris that I bought last year and I will drive the Corolla.

Here is a picture of the new car from the Toyota website. Ours looks just like this with the exception of the sunroof.

Oscar Night

This weekend the weather was beautiful. Today Mark and I were out in the backyard for a while just hanging out with the dogs. Now we're sitting down to watch the Academy Awards and the dogs are very excited and anxious about who will win for best actor, actress and best picture. Jake is especially excited as you can see from the pictures below


I hope Helen Mirren wins !!!

we are SOOO cute together!!!
Jennifer Hudson Rules!
MAYBE I'LL BE A MOVIE STAR ONE DAY!!

Doggy Snack Time - Feb 19th 2007

Hi Everyone. Not much has been happening around here except being sick. Mark's cold has finally gone away. Mine started last Wednesday with a soar throat which then escalated into couching and sneezing. Then I felt better on Saturday so I went back to work. Then Sunday I felt all achey and stuff again. Monday I felt REALLY bad again so I'm going to the doctor this morning to make sure im not getting an upper respiratory infection or something. I was running a low grade fever yesterday so I just would rather be safe than sorry.

I've added some cute video of the doggies.
