Monday and a (fuzzy) mini AW

Good Morning Ladies!!

So.... I went a little MIA last week. It was a very weird, emotional, difficult week with decisions to be made and family problems to repress. I needed a break. So basically this happened.



This is Coraline! I am sorry I don't have better pictures, I will get some today when she comes home!

So on the day that I got the crappy news about my brother, I was already feeling really sick and stressed out over the breeder I chose for my puppy. I didn't like the way he was communicating with me, I hated not knowing if I was even getting a puppy from him because I wanted a female and he had only two. He was very unclear and I hated asking him so many questions. It was to the point where when I thought about it I got so anxious and panicky that I wanted to throw up. So I called  my good friend, who is an Irish Wolfhound breeder, and told her how I was feeling and she confirmed that if I felt this way it wasn't the right thing. I ended my relationship with that breeder and went back to square one. I cried a lot that day.

After that, I sat with her and we talked about what I would do now. I have specific goals to meet, and just any dog would not do, but my requirements weren't so specific that it HAD to be any particular breed. She suddenly started yelling about knowing someone who has puppies! Her best friend was a breeder but unfortunately she died of cancer several months ago. When she passed, her daughter took over her kennel and they have been producing amazingly fit, healthy dogs for the past 20 years. This woman meant a lot to a lot of people, and I knew right away that I would be honored to get a dog from her. I called her right away and met them on Saturday.

So today after work I am bringing home my very own ten week old Standard Poodle puppy!

What did you do this weekend??

Re: Monday and a (fuzzy) mini AW

  • @untouchablets - Congrats on the puppy! 

    @southernpeach89 - Awwww, I'm so sorry it's another rough day for you. I hope the day flies by and you get home to Callie ASAP! 

    **********

    My weekend was uneventful, relaxing, and lovely! I met H at the Devils game on Friday and we went out with friends for drinks afterwards. 

    Saturday I had an OITNB marathon with Lucy and Hailey. When H got home from work, we continued our laziness. He ended up not going to AC and we ordered in Chinese which I'd been craving and watched football. 

    Yesterday H and I went to breakfast, then food shopping, and then I prepped my breakfast (sausage and peppers egg bake) and lunch (white bean soup) for the week. I read with football in the background then watched the Golden Globes and went to bed late.

    I'm leaving work at 1 today because I have to take my car to VW to get looked at. Water is leaking into it from somewhere every time it rains and the passenger side floor is an actual puddle :disappointed: 



  • @southernpeach89 I hope today flies by so you can go home to snuggle Callie!! Hang in there, superwoman :)

    @swazzle you just reminded me that I have to take my car in, apparently there was a recall on the mechanism that rolls the window down. I bet I'll forget again by the end of the day.
  • The puppy is very cute.  Can't wait to see more pictures, @untouchablets!

    @southernpeach89, poor Callie!  I guess she's having a bit of a tough time.  Hopefully each day flies by so you can get back to her.

    That happened to my car once, @Swazzle.  I just had to get the windshield fixed in one spot and it didn't do it anymore.  Maybe it'll be an easy fix like that for you!

    I wish weekends were 3 days instead of just 2.  

    Friday, I don't think much happened.  I was sick.  My mom made us some stew and I had a couple bites and corn bread.  We watched something on Netflix and then I went to bed.

    Saturday, I don't remember anything exciting going on either.  I slept a lot.  We made French toast.

    Yesterday, we went to church and then had brunch.  I had 2 pieces of bacon, a piece of toast, and 2 eggs.  It was a FEAST!!!!

    AND THEN!!!  I did a modified version of PiYo Sculpt with H and drank about 1/3 of the protein shakes that I used to have every morning.  I still was sick in the evening like I always am, but I was excited that I got in a little work out and some real food.

    Aaaaaand now it's Monday.  H got up at 4:30 to go to an early morning CrossFit session at a new box he found just down the street.  He came home at 5:50 to shower and grab his stuff for work.  We're trying to figure out how we're going to balance exercise for each of us so he's looking for a gym or something near the house that he can do 3-4 times a week.  He seemed to like it, but we'll see.
  • @CocoBellaF Callie is perfectly fine. Getting adjusted to a new schedule is rough on everyone but Callie is a baby and babies cry, skip their naps, and go through sleep regression all the time so it's just a normal day for her. DH and I could be seriously struggling and dealing with the shitastic thing of having to go back to work and leave her but she doesn't know the difference yet. Our goal is to make sure she is happy and healthy and that she is.
  • @cocobellaf Yay I'm so glad you got down some substantial food!

    @peaseblossom55 Woohoo for ordering the IVF meds, that's great

    @caseface5 REally love those couches, where are they from?! We just got light grey ones too, they are hard to find in a sea of tans and browns nowadays.

    @twodimes boooo sorry you didn't get the car.

  • @twodimes I'm sorry you didn't get the car you wanted

    @jenna8984 I now want gelato badly.

    @cocobellaF Glad it's getting better with food and eating!

    @caseface5 I love the couch it's looks so comfortable!

    Anniversary

  • @caseface5 her name is Coraline!

    @Peaseblossom55 I hope the day goes by fast for you!

    @jenna8984 BF's mom is also an oversharer on Facebook lol I totally get laying down the law.

    @twodimes way to be strong on the car price! Sorry it didn't work out but hopefully you find something soon!
  • @jenna8984 It's from Jordan's. We went into the clearance section first because we really didn't want to spend too much on it, however we decided to talk a walk around upstairs and once BF sat down he was hooked lol. 

    @untouchablets What a cute name! 

    @TwoDimes Good luck with round two of getting a new car! Sorry the other one didn't work out.
    friends tv show funy
  • @caseface5 lol that's what happened to us. Went in looking for a dining set and when I saw this giant chaise I was like holy shit, I need to sit in that. And then of course said I need to buy this lol.

    @futuremrshistorian wow busy, busy! You must be glad to just sleep in your own bed. That gift is so sweet!!

  • @CocoBellaF - I hope it's something simple too! My car is a convertible so I'm really hoping it's not something to do with that. 

    @Peaseblossom55 - So glad the appointment went well!

    @caseface5 - Love the couch! It looks so comfy!

    @jenna8984 - My car's still under warranty (I bought it less than a year ago) so I'm thinking (hoping?) I don't have to pay really anything out of pocket. I know next to nothing when it comes to cars and stuff so I could be wrong. Yay for ultrasound!!!!

    @TwoDimes - I  hope the car search goes better for you soon! Yay Packers!

    @futuremrshistorian - Gorgeous flowers!




  • @jenna8984 - I have missed my bed so much.  Smudge also has missed it...she has already decided she's never leaving it.  I had to coax her out of bed this morning!
  • Totally skimmed just for the super cute puppy pics and just wanted to say congrats @untouchablets, she is precious and I am glad you got it all sorted out!!
  • @futuremrshistorian - Pretty flowers!  I would be glad to be home, too.  That's a lot of travel.
  • @jenjen047 I promise there will be better ones later! And my Instagram will be flooded with them lol
  • @labro - Geez, that is crazy!!!  I'm glad you were able to figure it all out before you got even more charges.
  • @labro Dealing with cc fraud is the worst.  I'm glad you are figuring it all out though.  Snow flurries on the hike wow.  I am dreading when it starts snowing here.

    Anniversary

  • @peaseblossom55 I forgot to tag you! But I am so excited for you! I hope the IVF process is successful!



  • @CocoBellaF It's honestly pretty ridiculous! I don't think we would have bothered except it was so obviously local and a $500 charge isn't exactly chump change....plus who needs FOUR HD dash cams??? You have to think that if it was this waitress, that she's probably been doing it awhile in smaller amounts and working her way up to this. She was acting VERY weird at the restaurant....but I didn't attribute it to anything other than i thought she just had an awkward personality.



  • @untouchablets - I don't know if I follow you on Instagram! Must rectify that.
  • @labro - That's sooooo annoying and frustrating. Whatabitch.

    @speakeasy14 - HelloFresh isn't really my fave. I made a HomeChef meal last night that was my favorite meal I've ever made from any of them. It was salmon topped with a feta-herb-lemon mixture over a Greek salad. SO FREAKING GOOD. I cannot wait for PLL!



  • @labro thanks. It still seems like such an odd thing to buy when using someone else CC.  I'm glad you figured it out.

    Anniversary

  • Sorry I know I am being a bad friend by not reading anyone else's posts...I just need to vent for a minute. I got a KitchenAid stand mixer for my birthday less than 3 years ago. FI was using it the other night and the motor blew out! I was surprised because I have heard stories about these things lasting for 40+ years. But I figured they must have a warranty plan or something. Nope, just for 1 year. Are you fucking kidding me? Those things aren't cheap and I just have always heard about how amazing and durable they are, so I am shocked that 1. it died in the first place and 2. KA has no warranty past 1 year. What the fuck.
