What a week! It feels great to finally sit and relax. I’ve been running around like crazy and “oh my, oh my!” does it feel great to sit in my office and just chill out! Lights are off, fish tank fountain is soothing, and I’m enjoying a huge glass of iced tea! I went through all my mail and bills and everything is sorted and ready to be taken care of! Feels GREAT!
Last Friday was a terrible experience for Madison and I. I took both dogs to the vet to get up to date with their shots and get Madison’s foot looked at. She split one of her nails and I couldn’t get it to heal. So to the vet we went! Malcolm did great! He was good for the nurse and vet! Madison on the other hand was scared to death of the vet L I don’t know if it was his white coat or if he looked the man that abused her as a puppy but she hated him. Poor thing.. it was terrible. She was barking, whining, panting, and so afraid of him. She was trying to protect Malcolm, and me and totally stressing out. Stressing to the point where her hair was coming out. It was sad, literally broke my heart. It took 3 people to hold her down and then they ended up sedating her. I felt so help less, it was such a traumatizing experience for her. My poor baby. However, she is doing great now! She’s on her meds and the nail is finally healing. They both have shots and are happy/healthy little campers!
This week has been pretty darn good. My back is starting to feel better and I am hopefully going to get some good rest after trying a couple new remedies to help sleep. Doctor recommended no caffeine and about a half hour of wind down time before I even lay down to sleep. Maybe a nice bubble bath tonight will help!
I am excited for tonight! My mom and I are going shopping for winter clothes and then dinner! I haven’t gotten to hang out with her in toooo long! It’s going to be awesome! Then tomorrow I am spending the day with my big brother! We are going to race go carts!!!!!! Not regular ones either! These ones go over 70 mph! Booya! He rounded out a group of people to go! Were all putting $20 into a pot so whoever wins gets some $$$$$ 😉 Wish me luck!!!!!
It’s getting colder her. Heat is turned on in the house. The leaves are all changing. Fall colors are absolutely beautiful! The fields are almost all harvested. Before you know it, it will be time for snow! I’m very excited about snow boarding! Hopefully we get a ridiculous amount of snow this year! Last year we didn’t get enough! I don’t know if I am going to plow again this year though… I think I’d rather take my nephews to play in it than push it around. 😉
I hope that everyone has a awesome weekend! Love ya tons! Stay warm 😉

I started a journal post and didn’t finish it but I will still post it up instead of deleting it!
From 11-27
Oh man!!! It’s just one of those rainy days… NOW WAY!!!! It’s got a little snow in there!! WOOOHOOOOOO This morning I got up and made my family’s biscuits and gravy. My roommate got rained out for the day so I though I would make a big breakfast! It was pretty funny, this morning I called my grandma just to say hi and make sure I remembered the recipe right. She answered with a sleepy voice. Talked to me for a little bit and literally in mid conversation she stopped talking and said ok sugar I’m going. Lol Southern women I swear are notorious or doing what they want and only what they want. Even, when it comes to talking on the phone! She always hangs up on me. So do my aunts… ayy ya yaya Any who, It’s nice to have someone to hang out with during the day 😉
11-29
I hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving! I hosted it at my house this year! It went great! I was sick in the morning due to taking prednisone from the week before. I had an asthma attack on 11-17, woke up hopped in the shower and by the time I got out my lips were blue. I went into the doctor they gave me two breathing treatments and my lungs finally opened up! Because of the asthma attack they put me on prednisone to reduce all the inflammation in my lungs. However, prednisone lowers the body’s immune system therefore I got sick. So before I made our families Thanksgiving feast I had to pull myself together and try to over come feeling like complete crap. It’s all good though! The food turned out great! ☺ and everyone had a full belly when they left!
So is everyone getting ready for the Christmas!? I know I am! Sunday I went and got a Christmas tree!! I wanted to cut it down but we went to two tree farms and none of the trees were big enough. The second tree farm we went to had a bunch of planted trees and cut tree’s from North Carolina! They were beautiful! The guy called them the Cadillac’s of trees! We got a 9’6’’ tree and 27’ of garland! The house looks beautiful all decorated for Christmas! Very festive!!!!!
Lately I have been really missing my best friend in Texas! It sucks to be so far away from someone you connect with so well. Yes, we can talk on the phone and text but it’s just not the same. I miss her daughter too! She’s talking now 😉 I can’t wait for her to talk my ear off lol Maybe sometime next year I can juggle the costs of flight school and a plane ticket and get to spend time with them! That would be ideal and would make me feel a lot better. It’s harder for her to come here because of the little one and it’s warm there! Who wouldn’t want a little break from this cold!
Speaking of cold! It’s almost officially winter! SOOOOOOOOO excited!!!! I can’t wait to go snow boarding!!!!! Also I would like to drive up to the U.P. in Michigan and go ice fishing with some family friends! They have a cabin up there! That would be so awesome! I have recently became more involved in my brother and nephews love for hunting. I am going to go to a hunter’s safety class and learn more about hunting and safety! It’s always nice to be able to enjoy and partake in the same things that my family likes! Then we are all together spending quality time! I hope everyone is enjoying the change in climate, if you had it that is! Have a wonderful day and a AWESOME weekend!!!
XOXO
