Treadmill

I found this photo online tonight. I wish I could get Abby and Remy to walk on the treadmill. It would be so worth the money!

Remy and the Rat

Remington caught and ate a rat today. I'm getting really tired of all these dead animal shennigans when I'm home by myself. I could get it out of his mouth and he couldn't drop it. He ate it whole, so I was worried it would hurt him and called the vet. They didn't act to surprised and just told me if he wasn't eating or drinking to bring him in. He seems fine and it happened this morning. I was sure he would throw up, so I decided to take him on a walk so he would puke in someone else's yard and I would have to clean it up. And the vet said he should be able to digest it just fine, he's digested all kinds of plastic toys, so I can't see how this could possibly be worse. He's in a lot of trouble. He's been dgging in the back yard, and he and Abby escaped out of the house last night and Matt and I had to chase him down the street.

The self propulsion feature stopped working on the lawn mower last night, and Matt had to take it apart to get the belt back on. With out having a robomower, the self propelled mower is the only way I'm going to mow, without it, our deal on me mowing is off.

Here's some pictures from Matt's parents last weekend. They remodeled their guest bathroom and I helped Nan decorate it. I did the floral arrangment and we recovered the little stool. It turned out really cute!

Matt and I saw this car parked across the street when we got home tonight. We call it the mullet car, white conservative business on top, teal fun party on the bottom. Seriously though, it's supposed to look like that, it's not a half primed redneck car.
And the second photo is of a flower arrangement that I did at my mom's house yesterday. We picked some flowers out of her flower beds and each made one. I love the zinnias, they are bright and pretty and Matt isn't allergic to them.
For dinner tonight, I tried something new and it turned out really well. I don't enjoy cooking at all but this is super easy, check it out:

Busy, Busy...

I've been really busy this week. This isn't quite what I was planning for my "retirement" but God had other plans for me. With Lauren gettinga new job, her position on KPC staff was open, and I have stepped into it doing Women's ministries. She did such a wonderful job and is a tought act to follow. I'm really excited about everything that's been going on! We have several things coming up and this afternoon, I've been expiriencing a lot of anxiety that I can't pinpoint to a cause. I hate feeling this way--maybe I have restless leg syndrome.

Other news:
Abby and Remy are now spending all their time out of their crate. Even when we aren't home, which, they aren't used to and they still bark, paw and stand at the door to the guest room waiting to get into their crate. I took it down on Tuesday when Matt's mom and uncle were here. They haven't destroyed anything or been bad in the house at all.

Someone created a new profile for me on Facebook. Or one strangely similar--same first and last name (married name) same high school, same town, with one contact in common. It's very creepy and I basically got a big "I told you so" from Matt about the security of online usage, so I really toned down my facebook info. I have a friend of a friend who posted all kinds of things about her and her fiance...addresses, family info, dates of thier wedding and honeymoon and I just couldn't believe it, so, if you post info online, BE SAFE!!

I love IMDB.com. Thinking I saw someone in one show and then thinking I saw them in something else and not being able to prove it, just drives me crazy.
