Toby & his Squeaky Bone

As promised (although I should be working!) here are a few pictures and even a crappy video of Toby playing with his new squeaky bone (which is identical to the ones he had months and months ago). Also, yes he is EXTREMELY woolly these days...spring can't come fast enough so it'll be warm enough that he can get a good hair cut again!

Enjoy!





PS - I'm excited! Jesse is drywalling the office today...which means that I should get to set everything in place over the weekend/Monday because they have to get their corporate taxes done!! YIKES! :p

Argh...back at it!

I've been home from my 6 day trip to Indy for about 2 hours now...and the work is piling up quickly!! :p

I made it home, unpacked my vehicle, and played with my lil Tobers for awhile! Apparently he has been missing me (or so mom tells me). I was pretty excited to see him too because while I was in Indy I FINALLY found the squeaky bones he likes...and bought all 3 the store had! haha He has been without a squeaker toy for awhile now, but every since I cut the tags off it and dropped it on the floor, he hasn't been without it! He's so funny. I'll download the pictures I tried to take of him playing with it a little later and post them in another entry.

I still have to unpack everything...it is currently looking like a war zone on my bed and desk! ugh!

I made a phone call to Jesse and boy oh boy did we pile on the work for me! Note to self: should have enjoyed my last day of freedom for the next 8-9 months instead of being a good employee! haha So here in a few minutes I need to get started on some plans and then I gotta go clean the clubhouse the next few days! Fun, fun! :p

On a side note, I really don't have any pictures from the remainder of my Indy trip. Jen and I had lots of fun just hanging out together. We even spent Sunday evening with her friend, Fei-Fei. That girl cracks me up! haha :) Jenna did introduce me to 2 unbelievably sinful bakeries in the area...let's say its a good thing I don't live in the area because I'd probably be a real porker (even more so than now) if I did! ha Funny thing is...I'm not really a "sweets" person!!

If you are ever in Indy, you have to go to 62nd & Allisonville to get some goodies from Taylor's Bakery. Everything is good...we've tried several things...so just give it a go! ha If you are in Carmel on S. Rangeline Rd near the Arts District, you HAVE to go get a cupcake (or 2 or 3!) from Holy Cow, Cupcakes! I really waited until today to come back home because today was the first day that the cupcake place was open again after the owners were gone on a trip...and let me tell you, they are SO scrumptious!! YUM!

And last but not least, a friend of mine from Pittsburgh was in town on a business trip this week, but unfortunately our plans didn't go so well and I didn't get to see him. Not gonna lie...I was bummed 2 days in a row about cancelled plans, but the silver lining was that Jenna and I had dinner at Don Pablo's last night and I learned another short cut through Indy/Castleton that I used again today! It's great! haha

Hope everyone else is having a great week! Happy Hump Day! :p

Silence, Infidel!

Last night I took Jenna to the Jeff Dunham comedy show in Indy for her birthday! We had an absolute BLAST!! :)

I have seen every one of his shows multiple times, to the point of knowing it word for word, and yet it is just as funny every time! haha The usual characters were at their best last night...Walter, Achmed, Jose, and even though he wasn't going to bring him out but because a bunch of people had emailed him, Bubba J! It was GREAT! I have lots of pictures posted on Facebook and Myspace and am working on uploading all the videos I took to my YouTube account.

Enjoy a few samples of our night! Hope you're having a fabulous Friday!! :)

Nothin' Much

Well, it's been almost a week since I last posted anything...I really having nothing to report! It's been pretty quiet around here, well quiet for my life! haha

I've been helping Jesse & Matt get plans together for redoing their office. Spent plenty of their money over the weekend to order our new electronic equipment! :) Most of it is due in tomorrow or Thursday, but unfortunately I can't put anything together or start working until they get the office redone. ....this could take awhile! ha :p

Today I cleaned out the Mountaineer! Boy oh boy did it need it!! I ran it through Mike's Car Wash when I helped Jenna move in January, but the inside had not been cleaned in quite some time! I always love having a clean car!! :) It's not like there was a bunch of junk in it, but my family and friends always tend to eat in the car when we're on the run...so french fries and straw wrappers under the seats...ha...and just the normal dirt and grime that accumulates over time! I'm gonna take it through Mike's when I'm in Indy this weekend.

On another note, I guess my Indy trip is the big thing happening for a few weeks. We're celebrating Jenna's birthday this weekend, since she didn't get to come home. I'm taking her to the Jeff Dunham comedy show on Thursday night at Conseco...we LOVE him & his puppets!! :) We have other plans for the weekend, but I'll save those details for after the fact so I can post some pictures from it!



Hope everyone is enjoying their week! :)

Lunch Date with the Bergman's

The other night I was cruising blogs and noticed a post by my good friend, Rajean, saying that she had decided to venture to Indiana with their adorable lil boy Dallas while Doug was in Chile for work. I normally don't get the chance to see Rajean & the fam while they are in town, so I had to jump on the chance! haha

Wednesday I drove up to Shelbyville to meet Rajean and Dallas at Applebee's for lunch. It was so nice to catch up with Jean!! We used to have the best convos in the early morning hours (when we were the only ones awake) back in the day as State FFA Officers. :) It was only my second time meeting Dallas and he is just as cute as ever! He is growing so much and I'm glad none of the grandparents or aunts stole him during our lunch...it was nice getting to see his adorable smile!

Unfortunately, this lunch also made for the second time that we didn't take pics together! haha Oh well...maybe next time! Actually, I know we will next time because it will most likely be our Team Reunion in May! :p

Thanks for taking time to hang out with me yesterday! I miss you guys! Love ya bunches! :)

*SURPRISE!!!*

What would you think if you'd just turned 49 years old...you were blind-folded by your wife because your middle child said that she didn't want you to see your birthday gift in the driveway when you went to her house for dinner!?! haha

Well, that is the scenario my Aunt Roni gave my Uncle Kevin when bringing him over to Sara & Andy's for the surprise birthday party today! :) About 50 family and friends gathered and yelled "Surprise!" when Uncle K walked into the garage (being filmed by Sara and guided by Roni) where we were all quietly waiting....he slipped off the blindfold and stepped back laughing! He couldn't believe some of his tractor pull buddies were there! (Uncle K does Antique Tractor Pulls & actually has an indoor track for it...plus, he has 2 sleds.) We had good food and even better cake! haha :p It was a really nice time!

I wish I had a picture of the cake...it said Happy 29th Birthday Kevin! For several years he's been telling us he stopped counting at 29. ha Friday night we asked him what he was going to do when his birthday buddy, Jenna, hit 29 too! haha He's got 5 years to figure that out I guess! Although, he only has until next year 'til his oldest child turns 29...hmmm...haha

I hope everyone else is enjoying their Sunday!

Happy Singles Awareness Day!

haha...as a single person, today's holiday is really not for me! When I was in college, a bunch of my sorority sisters would have a girl's night out on Valentine's Day...it was fantastic for all the single girls. We'd go out to dinner and then watch movies (I think we even watched the rodeo one year on tv...mmm, cowboys!) the rest of the night. I miss you girls!!

To all you happy couples, I truly hope you have an enjoyable day!

Ugh to Valentine's Day :p
