Waiting for a wedding

Tomorrow C and I will attend a wedding.  This is the first wedding we have been invited to as a couple and I am so excited.  I know it is incredibly girlie of me to be excited, but we do not get many opportunities to get fussed up and enjoy an evening together.  I am looking forward to seeing my handsome man in a suit.  I'm looking forward to dancing with my sweetie.  Laughing with him and some good friends.  I know that a wedding in a guys eye is just a waste of time that they could be doing other things.  I have one thing to say to this... "WRONG, the chores can wait!"  So we will venture north, enjoy a lovely summer night by the lake and watch as two people promise to love one another for life. <3

Slow Motion

As the summer comes to an end, school teachers across the US are taking time to venture into their classrooms and prepare for the upcoming school year.  That is exactly how I spent my time this week.  The last 3 days I was busy peeling back the tape, opening cupboards, unpacking boxes and reorganizing my classroom supplies.  Today, I am attempting to give my home that super clean it so desperately needs, however, I am in slow motion.  I am feeling extremely lazy.  I am taking more breaks than I am spending time cleaning.  This may be a two day project if I don't get my rear in gear!

Dial 0 for Operator

The two people in the world that I talk to everything about are both traveling.  <insert sigh here>  

C is working abroad and his cell phone does not work outside the US.  So I rely on calls from him which he makes from a work line, emails, Skype etc.  As I mentioned, my cell phone stopped working yesterday, so I sent him an email with the phone number here.  He has not check his email, but has tried to call me.  So he has no idea why I am not answering the phone <insert sigh here>.  I can't talk to him and I can't talk to my bestie about this.  So my mind is racing.  I  have sent emails to his personal and work accounts, left a voicemail on his phone knowing he can't hear it.  I am about to email his supervisor....  ARGH!

Dog Days Of Summer

This weekend, I am dog sitting.  My bestie is taking her summer family vacation.  While her family is sailing the Atlantic, Archie and I are keeping her old girl Dutchess company.  Dutchie is a 15 year old German Shepard who requires meds 3 times a day.  She also has a little incontinence issue when left alone for hours.  Archie and Dutchie get along nicely (Archie tries to get along with every dog he meets, I can't say the same for birds or squirrels).  Archie has learned that the old girl doesn't want to play 24/7 and every once in a while Dutchie will show her playful side and turn herself around in a circle as Archie runs his crazy circles in the yard.  Of course today the two dogs are just trying to figure out why it is so quite here.  Dutchess lives with a LOUD family of 4, the two children are usually running, jumping yelling and laughing throughout the house.  When Archie and I are here we usually have C and the girls with us ( 8 adults and 4 kids can get pretty crazy)

After Archie and I arrived, I did a few chores for my bestie before I took a float in the pool and soaked up some rays.  Then I decided I would take out my laptop and check my email to see if C had sent me an email.  He had to fly out of the country at the beginning of the week.  He was in Germany until today.  He and his coworkers were called to another job in Belgium. Back here states side, hooking up to the internet was a challenge because of a new internet carrier and a standard issued password.  While I was trying to read the passwords on the back of the modem, my cell phone decided to go BONKERS!  It locked up.  I removed the battery and turned it back on.  It started the process of turning on, white screen black screen red circle DROID, <repeat>, white screen black screen red circle DROID, <repeat>, white screen black screen red circle DROID, <repeat>, white screen black screen red circle DROID, <repeat>.  Needless to say it took some time and a call to my cellular carrier before I was connected to the world again.  Actually the phone is currently on the table with the battery removed because it continues to loop rather than turn on.  The dogs are settling in rather than pacing around and following me, oh wait... maybe it is because I have settled in? ;-)
