Playing Catch-Up

I have a few things to blog about this morning some of which include things I totally forgot to blog about in the past few weeks. Sue me, I'm gettin old. :-)

My youngest nephew's birthday was this past weekend. He is now 2 years old.


Let me tell ya'll, this boy can eat! When I went to see he and his brother while they were visiting my mom he kept me laughing. He would go in the kitchen, pull out the chair, sit down and wait while my mom prepared their meals or just randomly go and open the fridge and stand looking at it like he was deciding what he was going to eat next. lol He's funny but he's is also a sweet little boy that I love.

In other news, I got a new puppy! Allow me to introduce Emma.....


We have had her for about a month now. Emma is a rat terrier, according to the people we got her from even though people often mistake her for a jack russell. She was all of 2 lbs. when we brought her home and we have fattened her up to a whopping 3 lbs. The people we got her from and the vet both said that they doubt she will get over 10 lbs. She is doing fairly well with house training. She knows that she should go to the door and wait to do #2 but we still have to watch her like a hawk for #1. She has yet to gain mind control over that.

She loves playing (ie getting on his nerves) with her brother, Cochise. Luckily, I was able to catch them during one of their calmer moments to capture this Kodak moment. Please don't think his size intimidates her one bit. Ha! You know they say little dogs think their big and she is no exception.


And here is Shorty, my neighbors dog that I walk with Cochise. I tried my best to get them to look at me but as you can plainly see, that didn't work out to well.



Last but certainly not least, my best friend had her 1st born a week ago....a healthy, bouncing baby boy. No pics of the baby. They haven't uploaded any to email out and I can't remember the name of the hospital he was born at to go and snag one. lol I do have a pic of him in my cell phone but my current cell phone provider requires that I spend an extra $5/month to be able to forward picture mail.....it's not that serious.

As far as the weekend goes, not much to tell....as usual. I followed LadyNay's lead and bleached the kitchen down and cleaned up the rest of the house....watched a couple of old school movies, "Uptown Saturday Night" & "Cotton Comes to Harlem"....funny stuff and did a little grocery and "me" shopping. All in all, it was just a regular relaxing weekend.
