An Unwelcome Guest

Oh My, what do you get when you take this sweet face and add an 8 legged creature to it's forehead, 1 freaked out Mama! Ha! Little Magnolia, our 9 month Sweet Girl Boston Puppy, came in to the house tonight with a huge spider on her head, it was larger than a pea, but smaller than a golf ball, HUGE! Yuck! So I screamed! As if screaming is really going to help? But its what I did : /

Then, I shooshed Maggie back outside and then she realized it was there and went ballistic! It jumped, yes jumped off her head and onto the deck! EGH! Maggie lunged for eat jaws wide open like Cujo, and luckily it quickly shimmied through the cracks of the deck! Meanwhile as I am yelling "No Maggie No!" I realized you are in a quiet development- Gee I am sure the neighbors love me! Ha!

The Moral: Maggie, sweet little girl pups don't eat bugs, please stop trying. And please do not ever carry them into our home again, especially not those kind- your better then that! Ha!

DISNEY. CHIPOTLE. WII

Working from home is great! I am so blessed to have the flexibility with my job that I have. Although sometimes I take it fore granted I really should not because it truly is a blessing especially living 1+ hours away from work! So today was one of those days! Love it!

So this was today, now this week I just did this and that, you know the routine. Actually, I hate to use the word routine, routine is so boring, I love to spice it up! Always try something new, I am not afraid of change by any means! Ha! Just the opposite, bring it on! I have been enjoying the new floors, which yes Monica, I do need to post before and after photos! They fit nicely in our home, and I feel like I live in a new home! I am very happy; I cannot wait for Danny to see them! He'll just love them!

I ate dinner out a night or two this week, Chipotle- one word- DELISH! I love the salad it is incredible- thx Amy for the addiction! Ha! And great pick Rus and Mon! And it was a great night to eat on the patio there, that fall weather is peaking around the corner! Don't you just love it! I know I do, I blogged about it once already this week! Ha! But back to Chipotle, so good! The END!

Of course I didn't eat there 2 times in 1 week, last night I had dinner at Rusty and Monica's house, and then we played Wii Mario Bros, the new one- which is a blast! Funny, me Julie, never a video game girl, hits the 2o somethings and it's sooo fun- all of it. Mario, Guitar Hero, Boxing- so now I am a Wii Nerd. But that's okay, my husband already calls me a Computer Nerd because I am a Nurse Informaticist. It's great one more thing that makes me, me! Ha!

I have some fun plans for the weekend, tonight well up in the air still... thats great fun right?Ha! But tomorrow I have a evening cook-out at friends from church, and this and that in the morning- breakfast with Amma, shopping... Then Sunday is church and whatever I want to do! I love the weekends, No work and all Fun! Yay! Oh Oh Oh and the best part is I think there is 1 more week until Danny come home!!!!!

Falling into Autumn

I absolutely love what Autumn has to offer! That one perfect sweater, the colors, the crisp feel in the air, It's just wonderful! It is definitely my favorite season! Although there is always a quietness in our small town, I think it is perfectly placed. We can enjoy every part of every season to the fullest. There is something about those end of summer nights when the weather is cooling off that make me crave fall so much more, and tonight is one of them. Sitting out on our deck in the cool evening air, the sunset painting the foreground, and a hot cup of apple cider.... a fabulous end to a pretty good day! And to think I will get to enjoy this so much more as the seasons are about to switchover! Don't get me wrong I am a summer gal too, but when is so near that you can feel it in the air, well goodbye summer, hello fall! What season do you like best?

A Heartfelt Impression

So here I am, I am back! There is one thing I feel impressed to blog about tonight. First and foremost I want to give thanks for all the blessings in my life. I am so blessed for God's grace on my life! I came home today and thought about all the blessings, my husband, my family, my home, my friends, my pups, my job... and the list goes on and on. It is amazing how evident it is some days that everything is a gift from God. I always know it but some days it is so much more in my face!

It's funny how you ask yourself if God's grace is sufficient? What am I willing to sacrifice, a little or the max? I love this song how it just brings that home, " I wanna be one of them" How true... I heard this a year or two ago and forgot about it, loved it but just forgot it, then the other Sunday we sang it in church and I have thought about it's meaning everyday since!

I just love it! God has given me so much and shown me such grace and I just haven't done that lately. I have been more me me me then I should be, it's time for a change and I have definitely made the right steps to get back to the heart of the matter, because oh yes "When the saints go marching in, I WANT TO BE ONE OF THEM" I am thankful for the small steps I have begun to take to return and thankful that I can see the hand of God in them. My prayer, it continues....

I Break for Sanity

It's been a while since my last post! And that was the Tuesday stuff, so it has really been a few days sine I have written something worthwhile, not that meeting new bloggers isn't! Ha, you know what I am saying! And this one is just a short blurb, I am still here I haven't forgotten, but am crazy with work and life right now! All good of course just busy and my timing is all off! So I am taking a break through the weekend to maintain my sanity! I'll see everyone next week! Have a fabulous Friday and weekend...

The Perfect Choice!

I laugh that I have been dying for hard wood floors for the past year, have finally gotten them and am now searching for the perfect area rugs to cover them in various places. Call me crazy, but I'm just a girl and thats what we do! Ha! So this post is about finding that perfect fit for our new floors! Lets start with the above, this would look fabulous in our family room. Bright, the perfect accent, but not so sure how the Hubs will feel about pink and so much of it! Ha! Moving On...

Now here is shag, not so sure but I have seen it look classic. I definitely couldn't do brown though, too similar to the furniture, oh and the floors are darker wood! Hmmm...

This isn't bad, slightly plain for me, but it is an option. And to me it is a bit masculine, the squares I think make it feel that way.... this is better from this view. Don't you think (below)?

So many options!!!! I guess time will tell! And I still like the pink the best! Ha!
