And She's Back...

I promise, I was not throwing a tantrum until I got more comments…I think 19 was plenty, really 17, two were repeaters. I did have to beg for them, but thank you anyway, I appreciate the support. I just haven’t been up to anything interesting. But who really is? My sister puts jumping pictures of her kiddo and I’m enthralled, my dad puts a picture of my Gammy’s headstone and I cry, etc. It’s just interesting to know what’s going on in people’s lives. My sister and I were talking today and we decided that everyone should be forced to have a Blog and that way you can keep in touch with ALL the people that you want to keep in touch with, but you don’t because life is so crazy. Just a thought!

I know I posted like a month ago that David would be moving here the following Monday…didn’t happen. Did I mention that things in New Mexico are a little slooooooooooower than most places, but I do love it here. So as of April 28th he finally moved here. It has been such a fun two weeks. I put signs all over the house, this one is still up in our master bathroom. We went to dinner the other night and we starting talking about what we each had learned from this huge trial in our life and I really believe that I've learned so much. I love and appreciate David so much more, my prayers have become more sincere and I have such a greater knowledge that Heavenly Father does indeed have a plan for us and if this is ours…I’ll take it!

So other than spending way more time with David, my life is pretty much as boring as possible. I have discovered that I watch way too much TV and it's all on ABC. (Dancing With The Stars, The Bachelor, Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, Notes From The Underbelly and Oprah [She's syndicated, but that's the channel she's on here.]) I seriously had to have a talk with myself when The Traveler came on after Grey's Anatomy last night, "Amanda, you watch way too much TV, turn it off!" I did turn it off, but now I'm dying to know what happened...did anyone watch it? All of these shows will be ending soon, thank goodness, because Big Brother will start up this summer (On CBS!). Is anyone going to join me for a summer of fun? Brittany? Kim and Jared? Aimee and Shaun? Anyone is welcome and you're all invited to my house for the Season Finale!

Side Note:

Blossom is starting Doggy Day Camp next week. I was on speakerphone with my parents when I told them and they both broke out into laughter. I'm serious about this. And I don't think it's that funny, plus, she would be dying to start if she only knew what was coming. Here's what's on the agenda (directly from the Resort's [Yes, it's called a resort] website):

Daily Activities Include:
Arrivals:

Dogs are checked in. Early arrivals have time for some additional shut eye before the play groups begin.

Morning Activities:

Ball fetching, chasing games, wrestling, tunnel running, Frisbee toss, tug-of-war, and other fun activities.

Individual attention:

Watering, feeding if requested, special needs.

Nap time:

After a very active morning, it’s time for some R & R.

Afternoon Program:

Back outside for another round of fun activities.

Yappy Hour:

An intellectual snack for your dog to enjoy -- a stuffed Kong or Molecube that’s both tasty and thought-provoking. [I have no idea what this is, but next week I'll let you know!]

Departures:

Dogs have time to unwind a bit before they’re picked up to go home.

I'll take some pictures and let you know how it goes!

Second Side Note:

My sister, Jennifer, sent this by e-mail and I thought it was just way too good to pass up, so I'm sharing it with you, enjoy!

"Just when you thought your day was crappy."

"There I was minding my own business when I walk out to my car after school and find the biggest pile of crap I have ever seen from a bird. Yep...direct hit. So, if you're having a crappy day, just think of me and my big pile of crap on my beautiful car!!!"
