Lost...and found

Our dog "aka Puppy" has been missing since last Wednesday. He is an outside dog and wonders, but usually stays pretty close to home. We didn't really notice he was gone until Saturday, just figured he was in the woods. We went looking for him but to no avail, nothing. Haley was pretty upset. Sunday, Haley decided to make Lost posters to place at the 2 local stores . (Yes I said 2, very small community) After school on Monday her Papaw took her to the stores to place the signs and went out to look for him. Nobody had seen him. When Kevin and I got home we ate supper at his parents house and went home. We had a message on the machine. It was one of Haleys classmates mothers, she thought she had saw Puppy, but wasn't sure, she told us where she had seen him. So we set out to find him. We took the truck, because Puppy knows the sound of the truck and would surely hear us. We went right to where she had seen him and hollered. We were driving up someones driveway, going to ask if they had seen him and here he comes flying. He had heard the truck. Kevin stopped, Haley jumped out and they reunited. Haley was happy to see him but I think he was happier. He was 4 1/2 miles from home! We spoke with the person who lives there and she said that he had been there for 2 days and that she had tried to feed him but he would just run away from her. I think he was living in her barn. We took him home, fed and petted him and put him to bed on the porch. He seemed very happy to be home. Haley was happy and rested much better last night. What is the old tale about dogs never getting lost? Oh, well, guess thats no so true. So he was found and all is well.

Where o Where

Where did the warm weather go. I am so looking forward to Spring/Summer time. I guess I am looking forward to flip-flops and fresh air. Cold weather is so hard. It's hard picking out clothes, it's hard trying to find something to eat, it just SUCKS!! There I said it!! I need to migrate south for the cold months.
I have really go to get into shape. I am so miserable. I hate mirrors, they are not my friends. I use to be so active and had so much energy. Where did it all go. I have tried several diets in the past. I have tried taking Phentermine, yes it does work, but that is a whole other story. I have tried to eat better. I guess I havn't really tried exercising, havn't had the energy. I read about the Couch to 5k program and it sounds like something I could do. If I can only round up the energy. I have been told that if I make myself exercise that the energy will follow. I have started taking 500 mcg B-12 sublingual tablets (for energy) this past Monday, so far I can't really tell a difference. Some have said it could take 2 weeeks for them to take effect. We'll see.
I am miserable though, and need to lose a good 25 pounds. I know I would feel better and definately look better.
I have been in the mood to shop lately. I went this past Monday night with the "girls" to Kohl's, I love this store. I found Haley a few things and found myself a T-shirt. They have so many cute clothes that I was so temepted to get but they are not so cute when I try them on. I guess it's just me. My weight issue is something that bears on my mind a whole lot. I guess sitting at a desk for 8.5 hours everyday does nothing for me. I have started a desk exercise program that I found on YouTube, here is the website, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKCPcRcJmqc&feature=related I can definately feel it. I know it's not much, but it is better than what I have been doing NOTHING.
So we are planning a trip to Cancun this summer. We have been there before, this will make our 6th trip. We love it. There is nothing like an All Inclusive Vacation in Mexico. In the past we have went for a 7 night stay. This year I think we are going to stay 14 nights. I know, that sounds like a along time. But, it will be soooooo relaxing. I will post more about this later on.
Well I better get back to work, it's lunch time.

Uneventful

That was my weekend. On Saturday, Me and Haley did some shopping. We visited my dad and came home. We went to church yesterday morning, came home and rested the rest of the day. Kevin got a craving for something sweet, so I searched recipes and decided on a Coconut Cake. It was yummy!!

Haley spent most of Sunday online and on the phone at the same time with her friend Alicia. They love to play Pixie Hollow. Kevin and I watched episodes of Ghost Hunters most of the day.

We had a good weekend.

Kevin is leaving this afternoon for Winston-Salem. He has Commisioners training. He won't be back until Thursday. We'll miss him ;=( . Haley is looking forward to sleeping with me. She is a wiggle worm though. I love her and cherish these times with her. I know that before long she is gonna be grown and not be interested in that kinda thing with her mommy.

I gotta work all week. I get to leave early tomorrow though, dentist appointment. I am going to pick Haley up from school and take her with me. Afterwards we are going to get her hair cut and out to eat.

I'm thinking about a taking excursion this weekend. I'll check into maybe tomorrow. More on that later in the week. Anyhow, gotta work for now.



Have a great day!

Elvira, my heart is on fire!

Wow, my last posts says "Friday At Last" and here it is Thursday of the following week. Well, I had my hairs done on Saturday, what an adventure that was. I wanted my highlights taken out and back to my natural color. Well Pat, my hairdresser, says that is what she did, well I left outta there looking like Elvira, you remember Elvira, right? Anyhow my hair was dark, dark, dark. I was not happy. I went straight home and washed my hair like 30 times. I washed my hair in Pert, Head and Shoulders, Pantene and a baking soda mixture. Nothing, I mean nothing brought any of that color out. So I called first thing Sunday morning, lo and behold Pat was off, so I made an appointment with her for 1st thing Monday morning for a re-do.

When I got up Sunday morning I did not go to church, I did not feel comfortable going looking like a Goth. Kevin told everyone I was having a bad hair day. I'd say..... Anyhow, after church we had to go to the grocery store, I didn't go yesterday since my hairs were black and all, so we headed out to town. We went to our cousins for the game. Pretty exciting game.

Well turns out I was out of work all day Monday. Had my Dr appointment and hair appointment. It took her 3 hours to get my hair fixed. She added back some auburn/carmel highlights. I really like it though.

It has snowed the rest of the week. Haley did get a full day in on Monday, but the rest of the week they have been out of school. School won't get out until June 4th as of right now. I hate it for them, they won't get much of a summer vacation. It has finally quit snowing. The sun is out but it is still cold (11). It's suppose to warm up though, 60 for Saturday. I am so ready for Springtime.

Anyhow, I guess it's all good. Tomorrow is Friday again. I have really clean hair and it's warming up.
