yakkity yakking!

How did it get to be Wednesday already? Not that that's not a good thing.. it is a very good thing. I had a nice weekend. Friday we went to the beach, but you already knew that. Saturday, Jen and I went to breakfast with Robby and one of his friends, then off shopping , out to dinner to the olive garden and then instead of going to the movies we bought a couple and came home to watch them until 2:00 am! Bethany didn't go with us.. she got mad and decided not to go! Kids!! It was the whole going to breakfast thing then threw her off.. (breakfast was at noon!) anyways.. so it was just Jen and I and I missed my "princess Gert" for the day!

Then Sunday and Monday, I pretty much stayed home and played around the house. I made this little Halloween pinkeep and 36 little Halloween topped pins for future projects!

It was extremely hot and muggy here.. and I had to visit my girlfriends pool several times! Since my husband took down the tree that was directly in front of our house last year, my house gets much warmer inside! in fact my front porch which is all windows, is like an oven! I MISS MY TREE!! I'm going to plant another one.. even though tony says we cant.. maybe he cant.. I can do anything I want to!!!

It was also Tony's 53rd birthday Saturday, but he was out of town for the day. He was supposed to go away for the whole weekend... but changed his plans and came back sat night! We didn't really do much for his birthday though, he didn't give me anytime to plan, I thought he was going away! So Monday we cooked out and celebrated with a Harley Davidson cake, that my friends talented daughter made!

And.. I dressed Figgy up to celebrate too! Not really.. I did this a couple days before. I was trying to work on the pinkeep or the needles or whatever, and he kept jumping up and wouldn't leave me alone, so I decided if he really wanted my attention, I would give him some attention. He wasn't thrilled with his little costume though and kept trying to kill the hat! doesn't he look adorable!?
Well, its a very controversial thing.. I know, and I understand both sides, and didn't like the fact that i felt I had no choice.. and think its a mean thing to do.. and I really don't want to hear any negative opinions about it, so if they aren't to encourage me and make me feel less guilty about it, please keep them to yourself K?

but.. I had my little pumpkin heads declawed on Monday. the poor little sweeties! but I must say they are better then I thought they would be. They came home yesterday and really are still playing and being their sweet selves. I do know that their little piggies are bothering them though as they keep licking at them. I just gave them their pain medication, and I have to tell ya... Figgy loves that stuff.. Frannie doesn't. Figgy wanted to chew on the syringe afterwords.. Frannie just wanted to get away!

Anyways.. its all good.. they are fine.

Tony's cake! didn't she do a great job? way better then I could have! Speaking of Tony.. he is having surgery on Friday for a hernia that he developed from the surgeries he had last year when he got so sick and ended up with that colostomy. Thank God that it was only temporary.. 6 months and then they reversed it. but now the hernia is right where the colostomy was. poor baby!

I feel like there was something else I wanted to tell you.. but cant remember now.

I should probably get moving here and get to work a little early this morning. We are taking a bunch of our teenagers to the beach today! Please say a prayer that it goes well. Hey! at least I'll be at the beach!! you know how I feel about the that!
And, tonight I'll be at the lake as well as friends of Tony's family are camping there and have invited us out for a camp fire.. (cant imagine wanting to sit by a fire in the weather we've been having.. but It'll be fun anyways!

ok.. I'm going on and on..

have a lovely day! Hi HO HI HO .. Its off to work I go...
