Happy Birthday to Me!

So today was my 53rd...YES 53rd.  It's hard to believe that I've been on this earth 53 years. Dang that's a long time...hehehe I'm not afraid to tell my age like some women.  I'm proud that I'm in my 50's.  I have to say being in my 50's is actually pretty great. I've been around long enough to know what I want and what I don't want. Plus I've got the nerves to let it be known.  When I was younger I use to let people run all over me. Now I'm mature enough to know how to pick my battles and how to handle situations better. I also know how to say no or yes to situations. 

I had a great weekend with my hubby and he got me a iPad Air and a massage not to mention a yummy birthday cake :)  He's the best!  Today I had lunch with my mom, g'ma and my niece, Shaylee.  Then Shay and I did some retail therapy but I didn't really buy that much...LOL  I have all I need really although I still enjoy a shopping trip from time to time. 

Another great day!

Busy Few Days

Well... this weekend flew by!  Back to work in the AM but luckily I only have to work 2 days this week WOOOHOOO.  I've been helping my mom with the house she bought painting, taking out old cabinets and stuff.  Today my uncle took out the remaining cabinets and this brick flower box thing in the kitchen.  Why on earth someone would put such a monstrosity in a kitchen is beyond me.  So I got to help clean up the mess and carry bricks out and stack them up on the carport.  I got my bicep curls and stair master in for sure.   Where was this strong guy in the pic when I needed him... LOL   Anyway...it's all done and cleaned up and ready for the flooring to go down IF they ever deliver it!  They were suppose to bring it between 4 & 6PM today but did they NOPE!  I swear the people in this town NEVER do what they say they will do.  Honestly I think they have NO clue.  That everything is to THEIR time and needs.  Well...I hate to tell them that everyone has a life and when someone tells me they will be at a certain place at a certain time then THAT is what I expect or at least the curtesy of a phone call to say they were held up or something.  Same thing happened with the carpet cleaners. They were suppose to be at the house Saturday between 11 & 3 did they show up NOPE!  They did however call but not until after 3pm DUH  Is that any way to run a business??? UGH What has happen to people.  No one respects anyone anymore.  It's just crazy.  If I did that to people I bet I would never hear the end of it.  No...I obey the rules just like my momma taught me. I try to treat people with respect.  When I say I'll be there...then I'M THERE!  Gezzz people have some common decency and curtesy...Just saying :-)


Until next time.....

Keep Smiling :-)

Today's Blog

Well, today mom had her big sale but unfortunately so did everyone else in town. We had a few rushing of customers but nothing liked we had hoped :(
I think mom did ok for a days work but you couldn't notice anything much missing from all the stuff she needs to eliminate before the move.  She bid on a house and I hope she gets this one because I think it's a really good deal. Now it's just the wait and see phase.  

I don't understand people when they come to yard sales.  I have a ton of practically new books and was asking hardly anything for them and no one would even bite but they will go to the local used book store and by 2 or 3 times what I was asking for the same stupid books.  I don't get that at all.  Same thing with games/gaming systems they'll go buy a used one at these same places and pay 2x what I was asking for a lot less and it's usually be abused to death. Mine are in nearly new condition with original boxes UGH Anywhoooo... seems I can't sell crap LOL 

Until tomorrow... Have a great night

Sunday Funday!

Well, it's Sunday and I usually go out to my mom's for lunch and some good conversations.  Today was one of those days :)  My mom and I have always been pretty close. Even though like most mothers she gets under your skin, she's always been there for me and loves me no matter what.  She also gives pretty good advice.  She's not the type to pry in your business too much but if you ask her she'll let you know how she feels about things and sometimes when you don't ask. LOL Now that I look back on my life there are times I wish she would have butted in a little more. Maybe I wouldn't have married that jerk! LOL  No, I don't blame anyone but my own stupid 23 year old self for making that mistake.  UGH and what a big one it was.  That's 5 years of my life I wouldn't want to relive.  My hubby now is an awesome, caring person who is always there for me.  Girls... let me give you this little piece of advice when picking a man.  Watch how he treats his mother or how he refers to his mother in conversations. However he treats his mom is how he's going to treat you.  It's a very good gage trust me. 

Mom and I sat around and chatted about life and her soon to be move.  She's trying to consolidate things for her and my g'ma. They'll be co-habituating after the move. So I put her an ad on Craigslist and took pics of a bunch of her stuff to post on Facebook too. I hope she has a HUGE turn out this Saturday too. 

Hope your alls Sunday was a great one.  Monday here we come! 

My Pup Kassie

Kassie 10-12 Weeks Old

My pup Kassie has some real issues...LOL  We rescued her from one of the local shelters, McKamey Animal Center,  almost 11 years ago. She was a tiny little thing that stole our hearts with 4 white paws and tail tipped in white too. Playful and bouncy and a fast learner too.  We had her house trained in a few weeks.  She learned to stay in the hall bathroom while we were working and wasn't too destructive, unlike her adopted sister Katie. I'll get to her later. Kassie will be 11 this September and while she's a great dog, never messes in the house, never chews up stuff & such, she's got issues.  She can be a bit finicky about her treats.

Kassie's Favorite Position

She will not let you trim her nails and giving her any type of medication is a real ordeal. Changing her flea collar too can be a chore. She just doesn't like to be bothered.   Then their is the "cha ching" issue, yes, cha ching.  If she hears the sound of a cash register she absolutely just is scared and runs to you in a shaking fit. Shivering like you wouldn't believe.  I don't know why she does this but we have a commercial from a local business that uses this sound effect and if I don't mute the TV she has her little fit.  We noticed it when my husband would do his check book on the computer. Every time he made an entry there was the "chi ching" sound effect and Kassie would just go in to this shivering fit. Darnest thing I've ever seen... LOL  

Kassie Rolling

She also doesn't like when my husband works in his daily planner or he works in the kitchen. Not sure where those issues come from but she's run in the laundry room and hide by the back door...hehehe Craziest thing I've ever seen. Kassie loves to roll on her back and her favorite treats are green peppers, vanilla ice cream, & Dingo bones.

I'm Just A Lazy Pup

One of Kassie's Favorite Spots

This is Kassie now. A lazy spoiled rotten lab mixed cuddle bug. 

Woohoo it's Friday!

It's Friday, it's Friday!  Can you tell I'm happy cuz it's the weekend ;)  Today was my Friday to work and it was an uneventful day at the office, no mishaps and every patient showed up WOOOHOO!  In dentistry you always do the happy dance when all your scheduled patients showed up and your schedule is full but not OVER full.  

After work I went and tanned.  Yes, I know it's not good for ya but I don't over do it.  I'm not addicted to it or anything like that I just have no where outside at home to layout plus I just don't have the time.  I just want a healthy glow so don't condem me.  Then home to take out my baby girls and wait on the hubs to get home from work.  It's pizza night for the Bushes then the mall & Target. That's our Friday routine. Boring I know, but it suits us and I like it.  I did a little Vegas #RDHUOR shopping and found pair of creamsicle pants & a cute JLo top at Kohls. 


I think later me and the hubby will start a movie - Number Station with John Cusack.  Looks like it might be an interesting movie. A former black ops agent and the young woman he's assigned to protect fight for survival after a surprise attack.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hump Day!

Well, it's hump day and I busted my hump at the office today but it's all good :-)   Busy day at the office again for me which is great.  I like busy but not so busy I can't take a potty break ;)  Pretty uneventful on my side of the office. Had a group of great patients today. We talked and laughed all day.  

My boss's birthday is this weekend and boy do we have a gag gift for him this time...LOL  Good thing he has a sense of humor.  Well, how shall I put this...a "strange" person told him that he should have gotten his dental degree from Wal-Mart. There is more to that story but I'll leave it at that for right now.  So anyway we took that incident and ran with it.  I made up a certificate that states University of Wal-Mart School of Dentistry on it with my docs name on it etc. and then found a Dentistry for Dummies book cover printed them out.  Then pasted the cover on to an old "dummies" book my hubby had and tada! Gag gift of the year...hehehe I can't wait to see his face!!  It's gonna be classic!!  Hope he comes to work in a good mood tomorrow...LOL 

I'll let ya know how it turns out ;) 

Today Was a Good Day

Today was a good day :-)

Nothing much too exciting happened.  Didn't have to work, that's always a plus, woke up at 8:15 laid around until 9ish then decided time to get up. Ate my usual yogurt breakfast then coffee #1.  My 2 lazy dogs didn't even greet me when I walked into the kitchen.  I never seen too lazier pups..LOL.  Watched a little TV, well, actually a lot of TV...hehehe.  Drank coffee #2.  Lunch time!

  a bowl of steamed broccoli and sweet tea for this southern girl while sitting on the porch watching Rachel Ray and the Talk with my girls.  Then chatted with my mom on the phone and decided to run to Wal-Mart for a few things for supper and just some general crap.  I always spend too much when I go there. :/  


Got back from my shopping trip to find a small box at my back door and in it was the American Eagle XP instrument that I won for being #460 to like the Career Fusion Facebook page.  Gotta love contests!  Thank AE!!! Love XP instruments and if you're an RDH and haven't tried them yet, you just don't know what you're missing, buy some NOW!

Then I started dinner which was parmesan penna pasta with chicken.  It was oooooohhh so yummy too.  Had enough left over for lunch tomorrow too.  

Now it's time to do some working out, about 30 minutes worth which will consist of hula hooping, weights and stuff.  Then more TV!!!  Catch ya later!
