Dog + Shoes = Bad




Yesterday when I got home from work, I had to hurry and get ready to go to the funeral home, my great uncle passed away on Monday. He was ready though. Now he does not have to suffer anymore. However, there may soon be another death in the family. The reason for this being... When I went to put on my black heels, I noticed that a huge chunk of the heel was missing. Around this huge chunk was teeny tiny little teeth marks. Apparently my little varmint dog Ellie loves shoes as much as I do...Did I mention I LOVE my shoes? I really needed to wear those shoes! Plan B: I was wearing black and white, so I thought maybe I could wear my red heels, and it would look ok. So I tried them on, but I just didn't feel good about wearing bright red shoes to the funeral home. So, I took the red ones off and left them in the floor, and went to plan C: black fingernail polish. It's sad I know, but it was my only other option. I used my black nail polish to paint over the big chunk of missing shoe. It only had to get me through the night. Well I made it through, with my crappy touch up job, and Ellie survived the night also. I didn't actually catch her in the act, so I didn't know how to punish her. So anyways, I'm driving to work this morning when Josh calls and says "I called to tell you something that is going to make you really mad." (That is never good.) I'm thinking...It is 7:00 in the morning, what could he have possibly done already to make me mad? That is when he says, "Ellie chewed up your red shoes."....You have to be kidding me!! (do you know how hard it is going to be to find the exact same shade of red fingernail polish!? ) Just Kidding! I have worn those shoes ONE time! The varmint is going to get it! (Varmint is what I call her when she is being bad) Ellie has lots of names. She has a different name for every personality. I call her: Elvis (when she's feisty), Smellvis (when she's stinky), Ellie Mae (that's just her middle name), Mavis (when she's not paying attention), Wiley, (like Wiley coyote, this one is when she hasn't had a haircut in a while, and the hair on her face gets long. When she lays her head down for a while, and then raises back up, the hair on her cheeks sticks straight out and she looks like Wiley coyote. It's hilarious) I call her love bug (when she's sweet), just "Love"(when I feel sorry for her), Turkey (when she's running around crazy), and lately I have been calling her Vermin (which means the same thing as Varmint, but I have called her varmint so many times I needed to switch things up a bit). She only answers to Ellie, but she knows when I am talking to her. She tries to act all sweet and innocent, but if that doesn't work she runs for dear life, and hides under the bed. Ugh. If she wasn't so darn cute and loveable! At least now I have an excuse to buy new shoes!

Weekend festivities

Well this weekend wasn't all that fabulous. It went by too quicklyBold as usual. Friday night me, Josh, some of his friends, my cousin Sarah, her boyfriend, and some of their friends went to Cafe Bills to eat. It was ok. Nothing too exciting there. Saturday Josh went to Jordan's house to tint his work truck windows, so I spent the day chilling by myself. blah. That night I went to a lingerie shower, while Josh hung out with his buddies. The shower was pretty fun, but I got home kinda late so it was hard to get up for church the next morning. I did though. The service was good. I am always so glad when I do go. I wonder why it is so difficult to make yourself? Laziness thats why. Anyways, after that I had to go to a bridal shower for my friend Nicole in Killen Alabama, which I had no clue where that was, (she doesn't live there) so I met my other friend Cassidy at her house in Phil Campbell to ride with her. We had a good time! Which we always do when we all get together. They are my best buddies from hygiene school! We all live in different places so it is always fun when we can get together. After that I went home, and that was my weekend. I really didn't get to spend much time with Josh which is ok most of the time, but this week he is on nights, so I won't get to see him much. We are on completely opposite schedules. He will leave for work at 5:00, I won't get home till at least 5:30. Hopefully absence will make our hearts grow fonder! Ha ha. That is usually not the case with us, but we will see! And now it is monday, and I am in my little cubicle (not really it is actually an operatory but it feels like a cubicle so that is what I call it) and we have one patient for the whole day. That is not good in case you were wondering. I wonder if I should be worried about job security? It is a new practice so we are slowly building patients. I think I am ok for now. It is expected to be slow when you first start out. . . . Right? . . . . ? Hmmm....

Relieved

Yesterday was a big day for my family. I won't really get into it, as it is not my business to tell, but I am very relieved, and thankful that it is over with. I am so grateful to know that I have God to lean on, and I don't think I could make it through life without knowing that. On another note, yesterday wasn't such a happy time at the Piper house. I came home crabby from my emotional/stressful day, and unintentionally put my dear hubby in a bad mood, and things just went downhill from there. I hate pointless, stupid arguments. Why do we do that? Just to fill you in, I got angry when he asked me not to talk about getting braces. (because I have been talking about it for four weeks straight) Teeth are important to me. That is what I do! So then of course i reverted back to my childhood days to give him the silent treatment. I really showed him. Long story short, we finally realized we were being ridiculous and got over it. That is one good reason why we don't have children yet. Because we both still at like them on occasion. I guess you never really completely grow up. After our little episode, Ellie and I crashed for the night. I have been so tired lately. I am usually a night person, but I just can't stay awake. I don't know what the deal is. I think my cousin Sarah and I will definitely be cashing in on our valentine's spa day together soon. Cause I could sure use it!

I have no clue what I'm doing....

Well I am at work, and bored as usual (since we have no patients) and I have heard a few people talking about this blogging stuff, so I figure... Why not? I have already read the latest US weekly, surfed the internet,checked my MySpace about 47 times today (still no messages), read about all of the news I can handle, written in my journal, ate my lunch, and my snack...(bored), and I still have about three hours to go. So here I am. It is no wonder I am struggling with this diet thing. I have nothing to do but either eat or think about eating. I know my job sounds rough huh? I just wish the day would go by faster. I could be doing so many productive things right now. My house is a wreck. My dog needs a bath. Speaking of, I am curious to know what she is up to right now. My guess would be sleeping. I just wish I was home with her and Josh, but we need the paycheck!!! Josh will be starting nights this week, so I dread that. It is only for two weeks, but it could be exteded. I just hate being on opposite schedules. It messes everything up. We may not even see each other some days, because he will be gone by the time I get home, and I will be gone when he gets home. That really sux. That is life I guess. I don't like being a "grown-up" sometimes. At least I won't have to cook dinner those nights. I will miss spending that time with him though. I don't know what I am going to make for dinner tonight, maybe tilapia, it is always better when Josh makes it.....There I go again, thinking about food. Ugh
