Ok so those of you that read my last post, I am ok. I got over my case of the Monday's and I am happy for it to be Hump Day! We are 1/2 way through another week already... Time sure does fly!
We took two of our furry kids to the vet last night. Bruno and Messiah. Bruno was going in to check his latest status out. He's lost 4 more lbs and has gotten much better since his new dose of antibiotics. She extended the prescription and also put him on a weight gainer dog food. 10lbs is $26! Thankfully the first bag was free but I'll be buying the next one. That dog I swear. It's a good thing he's cute! As for the little girl, we think she broke her toe. Or at least really bruised it badly. She was limping and not putting weight on her front right leg. So she came along and got put on antibiotics too. We all get to go back in two weeks for a check up and possible vaccinations...fun, fun, fun! After our appt. Luke and I stopped and ate dinner and then stopped and got all 4 of us vanilla ice cream cones from McDonalds. It was pretty cute watching them eat theirs.
Next week at this time I will be even happier b/c Thursday is my Friday...we leave for the Kentucky Derby Thursday night. I can't wait! The only thing I am waiting on is my purse. I have yet to track one down that is worthy of the outfit. I have the hat - the most important part of the outfit. The dress - a very sexy brown satin number and my shoes, strappy and brown satin to match of course. So now, I just need my purse...
This weekend we are watching our nephew Anderson for the weekend. His parents, Luke's sister Jessica and her husband Paul, are going to NY to visit Sean their brother and his family. We went back in December and had a very nice visit. It was great. They are going to have so much fun! And so are we! We are making plans to take the baby (he's almost 1) to the zoo. And we also have another surprise in store but that's top secret right now. Well a few people know, but I want to wait until I get pictures to post on that...
Anyway, again to those of you that read my last post and were concerned or sympathetic thank you :) I am out of my 'blah' mood and feeling much better. Happy Hump Day!

Case of the Monday's...
Wow. So it's Monday and I definitely have a case of the Monday's going on. Do you ever just feel blah? That's not a very good adjective, but I have been in this blah mood since yesterday...I didn't want to get up and come to work today. Though, I couldn't spend any more time in bed b/c that's pretty much all I did yesterday. As goregous as it was, all I did was lay in bed, watch movies and feel blah...
I know it'll go away, but in the mean time when I feel like this, I do a lot of self reflection. Not always a good thing to do when you are already feeling a little off. I don't know. I guess I am just trying to figure out why I am the way I am at times. Mostly, why I let the past influence my here and now as much as I do. It's true that you learn from your past, but at times, letting your past experiences influence the current situation isn't always for the best. Mostly what I am getting at is just b/c things turned out one way in one situation, doesn't mean that the same outcome is going to result now. I am probably not making any sense...
In a way I kind of feel like I am being punished for letting past experiences that have influenced or effected me, play a part in my life today. I guess you'd have to know what those are, but I am not really in the mood to share those. Mostly I just wanted to take a minute to jot down how I was feeling so I could figure out how to get out of the blah mood I am in. Betrayal can be a wicked thing that just never lets it's victims be whole again. That's where I am at. Throughout my adult life I have been betrayed or lied to on several occasions, so it's very difficult for me not to expect that now. I am very trusting. I have a hard time seeing the faults in those people that I care about. Or maybe not so much that I have a hard time seeing the faults, but I make excuses for them. I allow certain behaviors and as a result I get mad at myself when I do. I'll think or feel but not say anything to directly address the issue. I attribute it to the fact that I am afraid how they will react. I am afraid that b/c I share how I feel they may not agree and in turn rather then try to see my point or understand how or why I feel the way I do, they'll just close up, and go on about their own way. Never understanding that all I ever wanted in the first place was the best for them...If it weren't for my past I wouldn't be who or where I am today, however, at times that isn't always a good thing. Sometimes the past best be forgotten, but that is very difficult to do.
Anyway, BLAH. That is how I feel today. I know, I know, boo-hoo right? Like I said, I'll get over it but for now I am going through a case of the Monday's. Thankfully, Tuesday is just around the corner...

A year gone by...
Many of you don't know the story of how I came to have Lucas in my life so I thought I would take the time to share that one today.
A year ago yesterday, I was over at my friend Cathy's house getting my hair done. Yes, I am a natural blonde, but there is nothing wrong with enhancements...anyway, I was at Cathy's most of the afternoon into evening and then I left to go to my friend Laurie's house for dinner and a movie. I was running late - as usual - and I got to Laurie's after she and the family were almost done with dinner. Thankfully, they saved me a plate! After I scarfed my dinner, we were off to the movie theatre to see Blades of Glory. It's was Laurie's step-daughters b-day so we chaperoned a bunch of tweens....Anyway, as I was leaving Brighton I got a call from Cathy and another friend Lisa. They were up at a bar in town and wanted me to come up. So I did...
I met up with Cathy and Lisa at Stout in Brighton. After we had a drink or two, Lisa decided she didn't like the music they were playing and we needed to go somewhere else. They didn't know where, just somewhere besides Stout. I told them I should probably go home b/c I had been out all day. Cathy suggested we go to The Wrangler...(those of you that do not know, the Wrangler is a little hole in the wall bar in Howell. It's known for it's Friday night line dancing lessons, loud music and smoky atomosphere. It's great for people watching that is for sure). I was like 'No way! I am not going into that place!' I had been there once or twice for lunch when I worked in Howell but never in the evening. She was like, 'oh come on! Just for an hour, then you can go home.' She knows me and 'an hour' so she knew once I was there, I'd be fine she just had to get me there. I was like 'ohhh, I don't know...I really should get home...' Cathy had a way of coaxing you into things. She told me how much fun we'd have and that I just had to go with them...so off to the Wrangler we went.
We got there about 9:30-10:00 or so and wow! What a sight this place was. We walked into a cloud of smoke and made our way to a table in the middle of the place, near the bar. We chatted with a few people we met and had a couple beers. Before I knew it an hour had passed and I was still there...About 11:00 or so a group of guys walked in and I noticed two of them in particular. There was this really big guy that stood out and another one in a hooded sweatshirt. He walked by and I thought, hmmm, he's cute. After he passed and I dropped my gaze I went back to talking with the table. Eventually, the guy in the hooded sweatshirt walked by our table on his way back from the restroom and managed to elbow Cathy in the head. Not hard or on purpose or anything. It was crowded and she was laughing, and she tilted her head back just in time to catch his arm...He was very polite and apologized for running into her. The guy in the hooded sweatshirt turned out to be Lucas. Needless to say, we closed the Wrangler that night. All three of us girls had a great time. Luke was with a group of friends so we all started talking, laughing, dancing. The rest of the night we had a lot of fun.
And that is the story of how we met a year ago yesterday/today...
