Who am I? Why am I here?

Filed Under: Uncategorized

Holy moly.  I had to dust the cobwebs off the old keyboard.  Poor thing hasn’t seen a whole lot of action here lately.  If I’m lucky, some of you out there have been wondering whether or not I’m dead.  If I’m unlucky, you were hoping that was the case.  Sorry to disappoint.  We have been really busy and preoccupied around here and it has been hard to find the time to sit down and gather my thoughts enough to write something here.

We have been having some funny conversations around here.  One in particular stands out in my mind and it happened last week as the boys and I were riding in the car.

Iain:  Momma, we’re starting a superhero club and the members are going to be me, Ryan, Zach, and Noah.

Ryan:  Iain, I don’t think four people is enough to save the world.

Iain:  It’s one bad guy at a time, Ryan.  It’s what we’ve been training for!!!

Oh how I cracked up at that!!!  They are so funny!

Today, I reformatted their computer and had a heckuva time getting the wireless thingy hooked back up and recognized by their system.  I was so excited when it finally worked!

Me:  Iain!!!!  I got the internet back on your computer!!  Aren’t you so excited!  I can’t believe I did it!

Iain:  I’m not that impressed.  You do great things all the time.

LOL!!!!

You may remember that I got a new camera for my birthday and really loved it.  Well, unfortunately for Sean, I’m one of those “grass is always greener” kinds of folks and a newer version of my gift came out so I traded up.  Ahem.  I hated it.  I was really, really, ticked at myself for being so greedy about it, too.  So guess what I did?  Returned that one and got…an even fancier camera.  What is wrong with me?  Ugh.  It gets here sometime this week and I’m not going to lie.  I’m stoked!  This is the camera I have been drooling over for several months now.  When I lay me down to sleep, I envision all the pictures I’m going to take with it.  LOL  It’s sick, I know.

Just so you know, one of my friends here, V-Dub, just had her baby girl and I want to wish her my most sincere congratulations.  What an amazing time in your lives!!  I can’t wait to see her pictures!

Well, I have more to say but the kids are clamoring for my attention.  Since the weather is getting colder here now, I think I will find some time to cuddle up on the couch with my laptop and get back into the swing of things!

Hope all is well in your world!

    Glad to see you are back. Don’t feel bad about the camera. You’re officially a photographer and your choice of camera is very personal.
    I did something worse a few years ago. I casually mentioned to husband about changing my ring settings. While he was away on business I got my engagement ring and anniversary ring re-set. He had just given me that anniversary ring a few years prior and had it custom made. Fortunately he was okay with my decision.

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

This cute little cup came in a pack from @christma This cute little cup came in a pack from @christmastreeshops and it’s bringing all the fall vibes today! Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
