Diet

You think I would know better then to start a diet on the week that I'm PMS'ng and all I want is things that are sweet and salty.. but I'm holding back on temptation! Wich is really good for me...maybe not so much for Chris (oops, lol)


This is making my mouth water right now!





Even more so...

and of course, I only started my diet yesterday because I refuse to start a diet on a Monday...

Also, I joined the gym here at work yesterday also. I have my 'consultation' tomorrow so I'm looking forward to learning how to learn to use those scary/big machines. I to have them help me with a fitness plan. I must say the gym is pretty affordable $24/month ... definitely don't mind paying.

But I think I'm going to splurge and join one the specialty programs, I believe it's $41 for 8 weeks. I wanna try out the Kettlebell... registration is Oct 17th - I must not forget.

A quick fix?

DeeDee (my parents dog) has some issues going on with her ear. I believe, that she somehow got a scratch in her ear... but it's not healing well because she keeps scratching at it(everyone knows how itchy a healing wound can be.) My mom brought DeeDee to the vet and all the vet told my mom was to keep it clean and put cream on it. Okay, good luck...this dog will not lay down all nice and quietly to let someone clean (poke around in there). On Saturday night, it took myself, both my parents and our little helper Piper to get DeeDee's ear well cleaned.

My mom had tried all week to make a homemade cone (i wish I would have taken a picture) to put on DeeDee but then my mom was worried that she couldn't eat or drink so off came the cone! So our quick fix... maybe put socks on the dog, that way if she scratched alt east she would  feel some type of relief but her nails won't do any more damage to the wound.

We'll putting socks on a dog isn't an easy tasks! And then we all had a blond moment and couldn't remember if dogs used their front paws or back paws to scratch so all four paws got some socks.

For the life of me, I'm trying to get the picture of DeeDee off my phone onto here! But of course, I'm not having any such luck :(

Bad, bad blogger...

I'm such a bad blogger..I haven't blogged since the beginning of August. Shame on me!

Since the last time I posted... I had my girls weekend in Tremblant! Absolutely a gorgeous place, I would love to see it in the fall or winter. I had such a great time, with a bunch of great ladies, so many laughs! Can't wait to decide what we are doing next year.

Had a great summer overall... the weather was nice. I loved watching Piper float around our pool looking like this:

I also really like this picture of Piper and her daddy:

Chris baseball team won  3 our of the 4 tournaments this year. I love watching the beer buddies play... well, I actually like the socializing out at the ball park more then watching the game.

Also, I can finally scratch #1 of my 1001 list.... I finally donated blood. Yay Me! I went last Thursday, September 15th. I was a bit nervous from hearing from several other people that the needles was big or that they felt sick afterwards. I managed really well, I didn't think that needle was much bigger then usual, and it took about 10 15mins for them to take all the blood they needed. The man in front of me and the lady beside me weren't as fortunate as me. I was sitting down reading my book and out of nowhere all I see if the men's legs go up, a cold cloth go to his face, the needle come out of his arm; 2 minutes later the girls legs go up, she gets a juice and the needles comes out. I did kind of giggle at them when we all meet up at the cookie and juice station later on.
