It's mostly about the dogs

Look at this little cuddlebug :) She and her sister were 2 reasons that it was so hard for me to wake up this morning!! They were both just wanting to cuddle and kept burrowing under the covers right next to me! And this is what I found when I got out of the shower! She always sleeps on my side of the bed when I'm not in it :)
We had a pretty good weekend. The weather, especially on Sunday, was AMAZING!!! Yay fall! On Saturday, we did, in fact, go to the amateur golf championship. When we got there, we watched the two guys, who were set to play in the first round, practice. That was a terrible sentence, sorry! Anyway, I immediately chose a favorite. I cannot watch a sporting event unless I have a favorite, so obviously I picked the guy that was 1) better looking, 2) seemed MUCH nicer, and 3) knew when it was time to get a haircut. Then we learned that the other guy, not my favorite, was from The University of Texas! BOOOO!! We are Sooners. We ended up only staying through the first 9 holes. But it was awesome, because apparently the UT guy was supposed to be way better, but he was playing terribly! So for us OU fans, it was hilarious to see all of these old UT men banging their chairs on the ground, banging their fists on trees (i'm not kidding) and yelling and saying how "it's just not his day". I kept a smile on my face the entire time :) My favorite guy (Ben something from Clemson) won the round and went to the finals! I'm not sure if he won the whole championship or not. Even though I am definitely not a sports fan, golf is one thing that I can actually watch and enjoy it, I have no idea why. But, I told Lee that any sport where it's acceptable, and even encouraged, to yell "Get in the hole!!" is alright with me :)

The rest of Saturday was spent napping (me), working in the yard (duh, Lee), and shopping for a tv stand for the living room. More on that later this week. We also watched Australia. With Nicole Kidm@n and Hugh J@ckman. I was not excited because I don't really like her much and I didn't get what the movie was about. I wanted to watch Confessions of a Shopaholic. But Lee really wanted to watch it. Personally, I think it was because of the new tv and he wanted to see all of the scenery and action on it. It ended up being really good! Albeit really long, 2 hours and 45 minutes! Zoe wanted to play pretty much the entire time. Here she is with Mr. Squirrel :) When she wants to play, she will stand right in front of you, or ON you if she can (which she was here because i was laying down) and stare at you. And I mean stare at you, no blinking, nothing, until you pay attention to her. Nicole's face looks scary in the background.

Yesterday we just did lots of stuff around the house. While I was cleaning, Isabelle laid on this blanket I had just taken out of the dryer. She loves to lay on top of clean laundry. I though Zoe looked cute here, like the flash hurt her eyes :)And Lee played golf. He was tired when he got home and after we ate dinner, I found this in the living room:

And a few minutes later, I saw this:Hehe :) I love my little babies! And my big baby :)

EEEEE!!!!!

That is me squealing with annoying delight! Here is the sign I ordered from Angela at Design Your Space Vinyl. You can also find her on Etsy here. I ordered it just this morning, and she has already gotten back to me with 4 different ideas! Super fast! I just love the one we decided on!

Chocolate cake and diet dr pepper

That, ladies, is what I had for breakfast this morning! And it was so good! I love love LOVE to bake, and up until last night, I didn't realize how long it's been since I have actually baked something! This week has been rough for me, but I really don't know why. Wednesday and Thursday I was probably in the worst mood I've ever been in, and for absolutely no reason. I mean, we're talking I avoided even speaking to anyone so that I didn't rub off on them or expose my bad attitude. So last night, as I sat sulking on the couch, I decided that chocolate cake was the only way to solve whatever my problem was. It kinda worked :)

About 6 months ago, I had a filling in my tooth repaired. It had cracked and most of it had fallen out somewhere and I had a huge hole in my tooth. Ever since then, that tooth has been super sensitive. To only cold stuff at first, and I though no biggie, that sometimes happens right after a filling (I have had lots, so I know), but then it was sensitive to hot, and the past few weeks, I can't even chew over there. So I tried Sensodyne toothpaste, thinking it might help, and it made it worse! I couldn't believe it! So when I went in on Wednesday for my regular cleaning, I mentioned it, and was told that it was likely a tiny fracture in my tooth that was causing the nerve to be exposed. And the only way to fix it is to get a crown. BOOooo!! AND if the crown doesn't work, I'll need a root canal!! Double boooo. I am terrible, terrible with just getting a filling! They have to numb me up super extra and then it usually still hurts, so they have to numb it some more. I still go to the same dentist that I have always gone to, mostly because of the sensitivity to fillings and mouth work in general that I have, and my dentist knows, and always makes sure that he numbs me enough and all that. But, there are 2 problems. First, he isn't on my insurance. I have just been paying the extra for the last few years because it was worth it to me, but I think I have come to the decision that I need to find a dentist that my insurance covers. Also, their office is totally old school, I don't think they've upgraded anything since I started going there, oh, 20 years ago!! I worked for a dentist for a little while in college and he had the best office ever! I wish he was on my ins. My current office just doesn't have a lot of the stuff that other dentists have and with getting the crown and stuff, I'm sure I'll have more problems down the road and I just think that I want to go somewhere that is more up to date with technology and everything. Anyway, long story (not so) short, I'm trying to find a new dentist, and it's not easy, but I have gotten some suggestions so that helps.

Wednesday night, Lee and I went to a Drillers game. My company got everyone in my dept. who wanted to go box tickets and 10 "Driller Dollars" for their whole family! It was a good time :) I took a picture of us with Lee's iPhone and emailed it to myself, but I don't get how to save it from the email! Ugh, technology. Whatever.

Our new tv is being delivered and set up this afternoon, so that is exciting. Hopefully we can lay around and watch it a lot this weekend! :) We are supposed to go see the amateur golf championship or something at Southern Hills, but I don't know if it's going to happen. One of my bosses has tickets for it, and anyone who wanted could use them for a day of the event. I asked for Saturday because Lee loves golf so much. I'm supposed to arrange to get them from the person who used them today, but I totally forgot to ask, and clearly he's not here today because he's there! Don't tell anyone, but I secretly hope it doesn't work out because I have things I would rather do on Saturday. Like shop or something :)

Oh, I ordered that name sign from Etsy this morning :) I'm really excited about it!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Wants

Here is a current list of things I desperately need want.

This honeycomb vase from West Elm. The big one in back with the flowers. It is "no longer available" :(
This sign I found while aimlessly browsing Etsy. It would read The Lansford's with "all because two people fell in love" :)

This lamp from Potterybarn would look amazing in our bedroom! Too bad the small one is $180!! I will never have it, unless I win the lottery.

These Lee Gallery Frames also from Potterybarn. I have this design in my head of a wall collage of pictures of Lee and myself, beginning when we met all the way to the wedding.

Now, this really is a need because my black pumps are ready for the trash! The nail is out on both heels and it hurts my teeth to walk on a hard surface in them.

And while I was trying to find the picture of those pumps, I came across these beauties. I should probably get them too :)

The New Mrs posted about these Naughty Monkey suede boots a while back, and I have been drooling over this gray pair ever since!

I also found this on Etsy. I love decorating for any holiday, and I really need to accumulate so much more Halloween decor!

I have also stared at this Banana Republic dress every time I go in that store. I wouldn't mind those shoes either. Just sayin.

Ummm, I think that's it. Off the top of my head anyway. Too bad my birthday's already over and Christmas is so far away!! :) I am actually purchasing the Etsy items, and the pumps probably. And probably the boots in about a month or so. And And And...

It's Thursday!!!!!!!

Way Back Wednesday!

This pic is from one of the best vacations ever! Please ignore the red wine lips. Mary (purple shirt in the back), Casey (navy jacket in the front), and I went to Charleston, South Carolina during spring break in March 2006. I had to think really hard about when it was. Actually, this was only about a month before Lee and I met. If you have never been to Charleston, you are soo missing out!! If I hadn't met Lee, I was going to move out there after grad school!

This particular picture was taken the night we got there. Every time we all get together, it seems that we go crazy and have way too much fun on the first night, and then end up having to lay low for the next few days to recover. This trip was no different! We just wanted to go to a wine tasting for a couple of hours. Well, we ended up drinking so much that this man in the picture, the manager of the restaurant (Mike, if my memory serves), gave us a HUGE plate of appetizers for free, and by the end of the night, we were taking shots at the bar with our waiter and ended up closing the place down. (and then went to another bar but whatever)

Oh to be young again!! I could never do that now.

Oh yay, I'm so glad I did WBW today. I am having a terrible day, for no reason really, and this made me smile for a little while!

Weekend Update!

Is it only Tuesday? I feel like it's at least Wednesday! Lee and I were busy little bees around the house this weekend, and yesterday was also eventful.

So, you know that we got our new bedroom furniture last week, right? Well, once it was time to put the tv on the dresser, I was like NO! We can't put that huge, old, tv up there (the screen is only probably 24 inches, but the entire tv itself is so big!) What if it scratches the wood? Lee got annoyed and said that he can't not have a tv in there. (Mostly because that's where he goes when I'm watching Lifetime movies in the living room :) ) Anyway, we ended up putting a towel down on the dresser and then putting the tv on the towel. Very classy and upscale design technique, if you ask me. Then on Friday night, we were eating dinner, and discussing, like we do all the time, how we really want a new tv for the bedroom and one for the living room (and one for the man room, but let's not kid ourselves that we would actually be able to afford 3 flat screens at one time). Long story short, we went to Best Buy just to "look" and left several hours later with 2 tv's! Kind of an impulse buy, but not really because we talk about it all the time. Technically we didn't really leave with both. We took the small one for the bedroom, and the larger one is being delivered this Friday. Why do we have to wait so long? Lee wanted to just take it then, but the guy freaked me out when he explained how the tv has to be held just so or the gasses will mix and blah blah, lots of bad things. So it's being delivered. Yay!! We've been mostly watching tv in the bedroom because the picture is way better!

Over the weekend, we also changed out a ceiling fan. Both of our first times to do that, and it was successful! I told Lee that he can now replace the living room light, and maybe we can find a chandelier for the entryway! He was not excited about the chandelier. Why can't I just do everything I want? ;) We also cleaned out the guest bedroom, which looks so much better now, and we cleaned out and organized the shed in the backyard! AND I CLEANED THE BATHROOM!!!!!! We won't discuss how long it had been since I cleaned it last.

Yesterday, after I signed up for the gym (!) I went out to my car and it wouldn't start! I hate car things. It had been acting a little funny all day yesterday, but I thought it was just me so I didn't say anything. Turned out that I just needed a new battery. Lee came and got me and then we had to go buy jumper cables and a battery. So I learned how to jump a car. It was kind of fun. I'm so thankful for Lee because I would have had no idea what to do. Even though I can always just call my dad who lives in the same town, it's not the same as having Lee there to take care of stuff for me. He learned how to change a battery :) Lots of learning the past couple of days!

Work has been super slow, so I have been working on my blurb book again. I changed the size and decided to just use blurb since I've heard from several people that it's just so much better than any other place. I'm excited to send it in!

Hope everyone has a great day!!!

Just a little blurb

Have you ever heard of blurb.com? I just came across it the other day. You can design a photo album and they make it for you. I personally think this is so freaking awesome! A friend of ours got an Italian Wedding Album made after her wedding, and it is incredibly gorgeous! But, it cost an arm and a leg, and I though that this blurb place is a great substitute! And you get to design it yourself which is the best part (for me anyway)!

The only thing I don't like is the size of the albums. I want an 11 x 14 portrait album, and the biggest portrait size is 8 x 10, so I think I'm going to look around for some other similar websites, I think there are others. If anyone out there knows about anything like this, please let me know :)

So, that's what I've been doing all day, yes, while at work! Haha. No one is here since it's Friday and I have pretty much nothing to do.

I have zero plans for the weekend and I'm looking forward to being lazy and doing nothing!

That's about all I've got for today. I'm boring. Have a great weekend!!
