Introducing The Great....Tobini!

Well, as you can tell from the title, little mister Toby has become a houdini of sorts! His mamaw bought him an exercise pen that hooks onto his crate. The pen is 30" tall and more than enough room for him to run and play while we are at work...problem: we have been coming home to Toby greeting us at the door! He has managed to crawl out of his pen!?! We watched him, learned his tricks, fixed things so it would no longer happen....and wouldn't you know it, he has managed to continually get out of his pen! ARGH! We are at a complete loss at this point! The Great Tobini has bamboozled his mommy and mamaw! His pen currently looks like a maximum security prison!! haha There is chicken wire across the top to try to hold him in, but that has obviously not worked. He pulls himself up the rungs of the pen and jumps down from the top. We have resigned to let him roam the house while we are gone since he gets out and then is away from his food and water all day...not good for any pet, but toy dogs are prone to sugar problems when they don't eat! Luckily, he is better about not tearing stuff up when we're not home than when we are! Go figure!?!

Weekend = Exhaustion!

Busy busy yet again! I've been working 30 hours a week at the golf course and almost 20 hours at the salon...I used to work 60 hours a week all the time, but I'm outta practice! ha

Friday night mom, my cousin Monica and I all went to Greensburg to eat out at El Reparo. Monica and I were gonna go to the nail salon while mom ran some other errands...needless to say, we spent 4.5 hours in town eating, running errands and waiting to get our nails done! Finally we accomplished all of that and made it home around 10:30pm!!!

Saturday I worked at the salon because it was prom day for several of the local high schools. From 10-5 we helped 30 girls and one bride get ready for the day! It's slightly chaotic, but in the end...it left 4 tired stylists and me as a tired receptionist/makeup artist...but it is fun to see all the girls get dolled up.

Anyway, another crazy weekend...the next one will be just the same I'm sure! :p

Weekend Overkill

Yay for rain and wintry weather! haha Okay, not really...but I have a good reason for saying that...I had the weekend off because of the cooler temps! The golf course closed this weekend because it was too wet to golf. I was going to runaway to Lexington for the weekend to see my cousin, Zach, but decided I better stay put since I haven't been paid for my 2 weeks at the course yet! My other cousin, Monica, called Saturday morning and asked if I wanted to go out for lunch...so I happily agreed! We went to Greensburg and had a fantastic lunch at El Reparo! We all love that place! haha Yum!! We stuffed ourselves silly and then headed home. Mom was craving ribs from The Grub Co. so Monica met up with us in Osgood for dinner around 7:30 last night. It was surprisingly quiet there, but the food and company were great! Monica got to enjoy her girls only day while her husband Jason watched their son, Ethan. (he's such a cutie!)

Today, I'm being a bum...doing laundry, taking it easy, and working on stuff for the Queen pageant. I have eaten way too much this weekend, but boy was it good! haha

Hope everyone else is having a great weekend!

Alive again!!

I'm BACK!!!!! Well, I'm not completely healthy again, but I'm feeling much better than last week! It was actually a horrible ordeal...

The medicine I got from the doc ended up making me sick. We called the doc and he prescribed a new medicine for me Wednesday morning. I took it and it made me sick as well. I decided to quit taking the meds and started feeling much better! Go figure, huh? I have a lingering cough and my voice is still coming back...hopefully by the end of this week I'll be back to my old self!

I started working at the Golf Course this weekend...it is never dull, that's for sure! I am enjoying it and I'm looking forward to the rest of the summer. It's not what I thought I'd be doing at this point in my life, but I'm going to make the best of it. I mean, look at the bright side...I work in a male-dominated place...there are lots of single guys who come play golf with their other single friends! I'm thinking Win-Win at the moment...haha

El Sickey strikes!

Sorry for the lack of posts everyone! I have had that nasty cold that has been going around...I finally went to the doctor today only to be told what I already knew! ha He prescribed me a high dosage of amoxicillin and so hopefully I will be getting better soon, especially since doc only gave me 7 days worth of meds. I've been sleeping non-stop since Friday night in an effort to feel better, but it isn't working. At least I could sleep! Now the medicine is kicking in and I can't stop coughing or blowing my nose...I'm not convinced that I'm going to get any sleep tonight! Oh well, that is the update from my deathbed (it has felt like it anyway).

Go figure...I would get sick the week when I am supposed to be starting my second job!!

Mary Kay Sale

If you are in need of any Mary Kay products, let me know! I'm having a HUGE sale this week!! Just email me for the full list (emenchhofer@yahoo.com).

Spring has Sprung!

And now the post you've all been waiting for...haha (yeah right) There has been a lot going on the past few days though, so here is the grand update.


My baby, Toby -
Thursday night Mom and I took Toby for his first professional haircut! My friend, Keli Hall, owns a grooming business in Vevay called Keli's Critter Care. I think Toby made her a little nervous because he's so small, but she did a great job with him! He was slightly squirmy at first. He finally settled down though and she was able to do more with the clippers, which of course is faster than scissors...tell Toby that!?! He ended up making a friend out of Keli and we'll definitely be back to see her! We are still getting used to how he looks without all his hair...ha...but he was so unbelievably wooly!




Birthdays -
Thursday was also my cousin Monica's birthday. She is 27! (and her husband totally flopped on her gift...she's had short spiky hair for years and he gave her a barrett!?) To celebrate her birthday a big group of us were going to go down to Vevay to Mo's Steakhouse & Oasis (our favorite watering hole) on Friday night; however, a lot of plans changed. Mom and I offered to take Monica out anyway and she said she'd be happy with going to The Grub Co. in Osgood, so that is where our adventure led us! Her sister, Sara, also joined us for a girl's night. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner and had a great time!! We had a fantastic table location and saw everyone coming and going...which was also good because we saw LOTS of people we knew. We've decided that we may have to spend Friday evenings there a little more often! haha So I'm glad Monica enjoyed her birthday dinner!


March Madness -
I come from a very sports-loving family...to say the least! We've all played several sports at one time or another and still really enjoy watching football and basketball. My mom's work always does a pool, so we participate in that, which makes it more fun to watch all the games! I think you have to be vested in the games somehow or it is too much basketball for anyone to watch. haha My brackets are still faring pretty well! Good ol' Duke killed mom's bracket, which I think is hysterical! *smiling* I was bummed that Purdue lost yesterday, but it is a young team and we will seem them in the tournament the next 3 years. Plus, IU lost first round and that is always nice! ha (can you tell I grew up in a black & gold home?!?)


Easter -
Yesterday we trekked to Indy with Toby to see Jenna and celebrate Easter. She was just home last weekend and didn't wanna drive down here again, so we went north. Our day consisted of basketball games and a yummy dinner at Applebee's. Toby napped and played with his Aunt Nenners most of the day, which let his mommy (ME) take a nap on the couch! ha It was great!


Job status -
Things have finally been ironed out with work (for the most part), so I figured I would go ahead and share with all of you... I have decided to stay at home for now and continue working at the salon. I have also accepted a position as a clubhouse manager/receptionist/bartender at the local golf course that a family friend is leasing this year. So, if you know someone who likes to golf...please send them to Pine Hills Golf Course & Driving Range in Versailles, IN! haha It's only 9 holes, but if all goes well this year the course will grow. Jesse (the guy leasing the property) is doing a lot to fix it up and there are 9 other holes laid out, they just have to be constructed on the property! My schedule is about to become a lot busier because Jesse is pretty much letting me work whenever I want and then filling in the other times with some part-time help. Even if you don't golf, stop by in the evening and have a beer in the clubhouse! ha


Fun trips -
I'm really hoping that I get to go to Aruba with my cousins in June or July! (part of the group has been before, the others of us would be first timers) They are always taking these amazing trips and I really wanna go this time! ha So, I'm saving my money and also pushing for a June trip...I have the pageant in July and won't be able to get away as easily. A girl can dream, right?


Alright, well I believe that's all I know for now! Hope everyone is enjoying their Easter! It's sunny and not too cold, so that's a start...Happy Spring everyone!
