started xmas wish list.
cleaned up the guest room. LOOKS AWESOME.
downstairs is staying neat. kept up on dishes. keeping up on laundry

that is of course if you discount the crying so hard i felt like i was going to throw up last night
or the frustration of trying to get my mother to talk to me since she is mad at me for something
so yeah, yahoo!
now im using excel to make an address book!
kayden seems to have a little ear infection, or something. he keeps shaking it. im going to clean it out tomorrow and we will see what happens.
dunno what we are doing with the pups for Thanksgiving.... hmm
apparently my mom is BEYOND psycho and even though i didnt know we were fighting... we are?
i guess she thought jus and i got engaged and didnt tell her, but we aren't yet... so I do not understand the problem. UGH
went home early. very glad i did. but also glad i didnt leave like 15 minutes earlier than i was thinking because JILL CAME IN! miss her so much.

Costume Class! FIRST PLACE!!

Here is our costume! with beautiful first place ribbon!!!!!
follow the link back to flickr to see more pictures. the other costumes were great, and i was so happy and proud on how good mine turned out!
Starlit was SUCH a good girl for the show :)
put washer in dryer, put away all clean clothes. bringing new load down to be washed, and that will make us UTD on laundry!
did litter.
we HAVE to go to the dump this week, and then i will be feeling REALLY good about myself!
last night i worked on my costume. finished the "blanket" portion and the chest plate portion. have to cut up the human part a little more and then it will just be finishing touches on sunday morning!
the only thing i havent done is prep stewart for the agility and obedience classes... i might scratch that... dunno.
today is a local author day book signing, and i have leftover Chicken Broccoli Alfredo that justin made last night for dinner!
i think its a good weekend so far!
how are you?
it was a beautiful day, and i dropped off "the ring" to be resized and it will come back in about a week and then Justin will have to get to work on proposing to me :)
though, he doesnt have to work terribly hard, he knows the answer is yes, but id like SOME creativity!
any ideas?
send them to justin@callblog dot net
we got SECOND PLACE in pleasure at the fair!!! Ruthie and I got 3rd place in Ribbon Race (where you go down and around the barrel and back each holding 1 end of a ribbon) and it was AWESOME!
the fair was so much fun. ill post more when i get the pictures up which WILL be this week
i found out that my grandma and i will be splitting almost everything of amy's. she left money for my brother (which is awesome of her) but nothing for kate, which is not surprising bc they really didnt have a relationship but still... nothing? and was very specific in that she wanted toni to have nothing... which is also a bit shocking, bc to disinherit your sister? ouch
anyways, we are going to be donating her car to the synagogue and they will be passing it along to a gentleman who needs it.
and now, it is snowing and i am gunna get ready for work and such
love to all and gentle hugs to Butterfly (her back is hurting her)
At 9:00 on Saturday morning we got the call that my aunt had died peacefully.
The funeral was on Monday and it was very very hard.
The caring of the community from the people in St. Paul Minnesota was beyond amazing.
they are saying that we are down to our last week, but not much more probably for my aunt
so this weekend my gram and i are flying to Minneapolis st paul to let grandma see her one last time.
so yup. life sucks
