We found a house....

But unfortunately someone put a higher priced contract on it. We are not willing to go over our budget. It was a really nice house!!! I could sooo picture us in that house and having my child spend her first 5 years there. Subconsciously I am hoping the other party somehow lose out on this house so we can get it. I know that's a bad thing to put out there, but I really want this house!!! Well maybe this just wasnt the one for us. **SIGH** We shall see. We shall see.....

A lil sippy sipp....

Well, as I sit here sipping on a cup of wine (yep I said cup...LOL) I laugh because I had to lightly tap my pooch on the behind. Why you ask? Well, I had my cup of wine positioned in my lap as I sit Indian style on my bed. I am 'feeling it' and am a bit focused on the television (Monk marathon on USA network). Well, all of a sudden I hear a slurp, slurp, slurp. What in the hello??!! I look down and Houston has his mouth in my cup of wine!!!! I nearly had a fit!!! Under ordinary circumstances, I would have reprimanded him and made him have time out. But today is a bit different.

Houston has been sick lately. He was diagnosed with Kennel Cough at the ER Vet. I then took him to another vet and they said he was congested, possible bronchial infection. I then took him to another vet and they took x-rays and said he appears to be congested, possible bronchial infection. He has been on numerous meds for the past 3 weeks or so. Well, today is no different and he is on an antibiotic. Do you guys see where I am going with this? He is on antibiotics!!! He weighs 5 pounds!!!! He slurp, slurp, slurped from my cup of wine!!! 145 pound humans are not allowed to drink alcohol while on antibiotics. Thus the cause me having a fit!!

Let me fill you guys in as to what I have endured for the past few weeks, having had a sick pooch in the house. Night time is theee worst. He snores like a 550 pound grown man. I cant possible tell him to shut up or get off the bed becasue he is sick. He sneezes non stop. He wheezes non stop. LAstly and unfortunately, he is not his normal hyper self (which can be good at times...bad to say, I know)

At this moment, I am observing him, as he is on time out, and he is a pitiful mess!! He is trying not to look at me from the corner of his eye, while at the same time, trying not to fall asleep. Now here I am contemplating taking him to the ER Vet....once again. This will cost more moolah!!!! He has a vet appt. tomorrow and here it is, I may have to take him to there ER tonight.

Some may say it is my fault as I should have been more alert. Well, as I continue to drink from my cup of wine, I say....Whateva. Houston is normally a very well behaved pooch. But lately, he has been out of control (twice pooping IN the house!!!). I am contributing the change in personality to his meds. He is getting much better health wise, so I am expecting him to be his normal self again in two weeks or so. If not, he will be in for a rude awakening!! NO more getting off the hook for 'minor' offenses!!!

Weekend Ramblings...

I went to view theee house yesterday and there were 6 cars parked in front of the driveway. My initial thought was WTF??!!! Why are those people in my house tracking dirt on my carpet and possibly damaging my hardwood floors???!!! At that point my heart began to race and my mind began to wander aimlessly. I then began to think 'Are those the folk who have the contract on my house?' 'Are they possibly showing my house to folk who will love it as much as I do and the asking price isnt a concern to them?' I then began to have a sinking feeling in my stomach and I had to psyche myself up before making a U-turn to pass by the house again. Once I left the neighborhood, I intentionally changed my thoughts. I began to think 'If that house is meant for me, it will be mine and there is nothing anyone or anything can do to prevent it from being mine.' So do you wanna know what I did? I went home and allowed Houston to run rampant in the yard.I then settled in and looked at brain cell destroying reality tv shows.

I feel obliged to add I spent $168 on a pair of UGG boots (those to the right). I have yet to determine if I will return them because I have wanted a second pair for a while now. I love the COMFORT of UGG boots and anyone who knows me will tell you I wear them ALLLLLLL the time during the winter months. Frankly, I needed another pair. Yesterday was the first time this season I wore my existing pair. And oh my!!! How I miss wearing these boots!!! They are my all purpose boots. Meaning, I will throw them on with a banging outfit and change shoes upon arriving at my final destination. I will wear nice fitting jeans, a complementing shirt/sweater/henley/poncho of my choice, and have these boots as my wonderfully comfy foot accessory. Yep, I love Uggs and I am leaning towards keeping them. Nope, change of mind. I AM going to keep them!!!

For the record, I never purchased these boots because they were the IN item to have. When they first came upon the fashion scene, I thought they were the ugliest things around. But I tried a pair on while in Nordie's and have been hooked ever since. But I happen to think I make them look good ;-)
