Happy Birthday Kim!!

Ashley and Mom at Cheesecake

I am so bad about keeping up with the blog. Since my last post, not too much has been happening. Ashley spent the night and we met Lisa, Joe, Avery, Zac, Amanda, Chris, Fred, Mary Sue and her husband at Gumbeaux. I haven’t eaten there in years. I ordered Shrimp and Grits and had the worst heartburn ever! It was fericous! Ash and I had fun, went to Target and bought her a Puppy In My Pocket. We really didn’t do much on Saturday. Jason, Amanda and Ansley came over and she gave us all except Ansley Tattoos. Oh lala! I got a horse on one wrist and a fireball on the other. Nice! She has a airbrush tattoo machine she got for Christmas. Once Ashley was dropped off, we went to Best Buy and Jim N Nicks where they have the best Queso Dip. OMG, it is so good~~I have been craving it since then. Oh I almost forgot, we took the boys for a walk and they did pretty good until we got to a certain house and they went wild because of some other dogs. Ashley had Sanford and it scared her to death, so I took him for a while until she could handle him again. Boy, having 3 dogs on leashes are a big job.

On Sunday, we didn’t go to church because some of my mom’s family came to visit her and my dad. Greg came over and we took the dogs to the park. It was such a nice day. The dogs loved it. He took them all in a baseball field and just let them run. They napped for the rest of the day. Lol

The week was ok, seemed to just drag on. I got sick with a stomach virus on Thursday and didn’t start feeling better until Monday.


Even though I was sick on Valentine’s Day, I got some pretty tulips from Amanda and Jason and then a plant from my mom. I even got a dozen carnations from co-workers, so I lucked out.

I took Monday off and we went to Cheesecake Factory for Kim’s birthday! The food is so so good there. I did pretty good with the dessert. I had a goblet of strawberries… yumm-o.

Last night, I met Brandy and Diane from High School at Texas Roadhouse and caught up. Facebook is so amazing, I think I like it better than MySpace now. Didn’t think I would ever say that, but a lot more people are on it that I know than MySpace.

Oh well, this is all pretty boring probably. I might go out with Chris this weekend, not sure. He sent me a text that he missed me. Sweet, but I just don’t know. I am going to start going back on the dating websites soon, just had to kind of take a break. When it’s time, my prince will come…..

This weekend was good and scary. My date with Chris on Friday was good. We decided to forgo the hockey game and just do dinner. I was kind of glad, because I was worn out and he said he wanted to take it slow. Not sure why he thought the hockey game was speeding up????? Lol Anyway, he picked me up and brought me a dozen roses. That caught me off guard. I haven’t gotten roses from a guy in such a long time… Made my heart melt a little.. Anyway, I was home by 9pm. I will go off with him again, but just not a spark there. More of a friend spark…

Saturday, I went to Lisa’s pampered chef party and going to have a party later this month. I love that stuff. Later I went to Amanda and Jason’s for grilled burgers which were Yumm-o….

Sunday, I didn’t feel good. Had a real bad headache due to high blood pressure. I didn’t even go to church which I felt like I needed to go, but just didn’t feel like it. I hung around the house pretty much all day except to go to the grocery and etc. I had just taken my bath and already took the dreaded Tylenol PMs; which I am addicted to because of all my transplant meds that I am on.

Anyway, my mom called and said she was on the way to take my dad to the ER for chest pains. My dad is a strong man, doesn’t complain very much and generally will not go to the hospital unless there is a good reason. So, I knew it was serious. I felt like I needed to be with them, but because I was drugged with the Tylenol PMs~I didn’t want to risk driving and falling asleep. So, I just stayed at home and waited for my mom to update me. They ended up admitting him to the hospital and did a heart cath which turned out fine. They think it is either Acid Reflux or lung problems. We are so relieved and thankful that it isn’t his heart. He said he can deal with anything now he knows. His dad died of heart failure, so it scares him….

So, he gets released on Tuesday and they go home to a cold house because the furnace is out.. Brrrrr… They are hopefully getting it replaced today.

Thank goodness it is Friday. Even though I was off for 2 days, this has been the longest, draining week. I am ready for the weekend. Ashley is spending the night and we are going to hang with Amanda, Ansley and Jason. Ash is bringing her tattoo machine to give everyone tattoos.. lol
