Tats and Cars

So my tattoo is still not healed all the way yet...so still no pictures. Soon though...very soon...next post probably.

So my POS car is about to die...like road kill die any day now. The new CARS law just passed so as soon as the legality stuff goes through I'M BUYING A NEW CAR!! Brand spankin' new! I'm excited. I am getting a Nissan Cube 1.8 S...in Caribbean Blue. It's very nifty. I can't wait. I just hope my car makes it until then. We can only hope and pray that it makes it for about 30 more days. Fingers crossed!

Work has been good. Business has started to pick up finally, so that's encouraging. However, my wonderful manager Marti is leaving. She is moving in about a month or two...it's really sad. I don't know who will replace her. I can just hope they are nice and don't try to Nazi us around!

I go to Pennsylvania next week with Hope! I can't wait for that too! We are going to the zoo! Woohoo! Fun stuff.

Joke of the day:

Q: What is invisible and smells like carrots?

A: Bunny farts!

Title that pertains to this blog...

This title is for you Uncle Mark! As apparently my titles confuse your little mind, I am going to attempt to make them more clear for you!! :)

So the last week has been very eventful. The weekend not so much, that was work filled, not so fun. Monday my car started to act all funny, it wouldn't go straight into drive. I had to put it in second and then into drive for it to go. So Tuesday Dad came over and we took my poor sad truck to the shop to get looked at. I have been driving Mom's car all week (thankfully they are at Stone Mt. with Kayla so they don't need it!). I also got my tattoo!!!! Woo!! I really like it. It's the Gemini constellation. To just your average person it just looks like a bunch of stars on my leg...but really it has a meaning. I like it because no one else has it....or at least very few people have it. It's different, it's meaningful and it's AWESOME!! I will post pictures once it heals...because healing tattoos are never as pretty as a healed tattoo. :)

Wednesday I noticed a large lump on my poor puppy. :( I took him to the vet last week and they gave him the 3 year rabies, he had a delayed allergic reaction. They vet said if it doesn't go away in a couple of days to stop by and see if he's ok. I have to take him back anyway to get another blood test as the first one showed an elevated white blood count, and that's not good.

Today I shaved 3 dogs at work. However, two of them were Newfoundlands...and they were large...and hairy...and CUTE! Oh, I loved them. I wanted to take them home! The parents actually had four of them, and a Golden Retriever. They got all four Newfies shaved! It was INSANE!

I get my car back tomorrow...they said to pretty much drive it until it dies...that's pretty sad. They said it's not worth fixing until it's dead...fun stuff...let's hope it doesn't die on the side of the road!

Nothing else is new. The new house is awesome, Andy is embracing the yard work. I think he actually enjoys it. He is out there almost everyday doing something. I don't know what he will do in the winter time when there's no yard. :(

So that is the mid week review for you!

Q: What did the boy apple say to the girl apple?

A: I find you very a-peeling!

Happy Birthday to Me!

So Sunday was my birthday. It was also the busiest day at work that I have since I transferred up there! It was great. The more dogs, the more money! Dad made pork chops, so Andy and I went over there for dinner. Mom and Dad gave me a new Wii game for my birthday, so we played it was super fun, except for the fact that they didn't let me win. It WAS my birthday...I think I should have been the winner...

Monday I groomed a dog that desperately needed my help. It was so sad. It was a 10 year old full coated Collie, who had a raw spot on his tail. The owners wanted him shaved so they could see what was underneath the hair so they could take it to the vet. You wanna know what was under the hair? Maggots...that's right maggots, as in baby flies. It was gross, but so sad. I got them all off, and did my best to help him feel better. I am going to call tomorrow to see how he is doing since his vet appointment.

Tuesday and Wednesday were my days off. I hung out with Mom, unpacked yet more boxes, and cleaned the house.

Today I worked, nothing new or fancy! The first boy and girl from So You Think You Can Dance? are going to be kicked off tonight. Burn Notice and Royal Pains are also tonight! These are the things that I wait for!

Q: How do you stop a lawyer from drowning?

A: Shoot him before he hits the water!

New house!!

After two years of grooming, today was the first time I had gotten bitten that it had actually punctured the skin...I have been bitten on the face twice...no problem...today a mini schnauzer bit my thumb.  :(  I didn't have to go to the doctor or anything, but still...it happened.  Oh well.  Business has been picking up so that is good.  I am finally making some money!  I just need to get use to actually grooming a lot of dogs all at once again.

The summer is going great so far.  I bought the dogs a Chuck It! which is a toy that throws the ball far distances and you don't have the touch the ball (it gets rather slimy very quickly).  They love it!  I bought Deuce a pool too, but I haven't had time to put it up yet.  I am LOVING this no school thing.  It's great!

Alright!  So I have pictures of the new house!

Dad and Chase is going to be your welcoming comity for today's picture tour!

Here is our hallway with our stupendously bitchy cat Sammy.  :)  This is her favorite spot to lay out right when you are trying to walk down the stairs.
This is the backyard that the dogs love!  This picture really doesn't do it justice...
The front of the house:
Self explanatory but we will title it anyway ... this is the kitchen:  
Living room (that couch and recliner are actually leaving and we are getting Mom and Dad's red leather ones!  Also that is a real wood fire place!  The one at Mom's is a "flip the switch on the wall" fireplace  :p
Different angle:
This is the sun room a.k.a. the "misfit toy" room as I call it...it's where the bird cage is and the dog's stuff (cage, food, water, toys...)

So there ya go...our new house!  There are also some bedrooms, but I didn't feel like posting those...their bedrooms nothing special.  Have a grand day everyone!

Joke of the day:

Q: Why did the birthday cake go to the doctor?

A: Because he was feeling crumby!
