Shoes

I heart shoes. I heart colored shoes, strapped shoes, flat shoes, ballet shoes... you name it, I like it! I was so thrilled to see that awesome big brown box truck pull up to my house last night bringing me a box of goodness!!!! Inside, were 5 fabulous pairs of shoes that I purchased from Target.com on an 80% off clearance sale! Who couldn't resist super cheap shoes that were SUPER cute???? So, here's what I got.




I love them all dearly, except for maybe the silver ballet flats. They don't look as cute as they are in the picture. but, hey, how can you complain when I practically paid only $11 a pair!!!???!!!!???. I sure do love Target! :) I'm sure my podiatrist is going to be THRILLED when she finds out that I'm going to be venturing back into heels once I'm out of this stupid walking cast. I miss my shoes! Since mid June, I've only been able to enjoy one. Poor right foot, oh how I've neglected you!

A blog about something............

It's been a while since I actually posted a REAL blog, with some substance as to what goes on in my life, outside of giveaways, dog treats, puppy training and etsy stuff.

This week has been one crazy rollercoaster!!!! Work is getting busy and hectic, the sales on etsy are slow at best and the new puppy takes up every second of spare time just trying to keep him out of stuff and not to potty in the house. Good news is though that I got a pretty sweet deal on a cut, color and style... If you're in the Salem area, I highly recommend seeing Jessica at Effervescent Salon. They're in NE Salem off Lancaster. Pretty new salon, funny girls, small shop. My hair turned out just as I'd imagined and it was a great price. Another good thing, I won 2 giveaways! A $30 giftcard from Kauffmann's Fruit Farm and 200 postcards from Uprinting. Not sure what I'll do with either but I'm sure whatever it is, it'll be great!!!!

I'm really looking forward to a vacation of some kind. Maybe another stay-cation is in my future. Who knows!!!!!

All in all, things are good... not too much to complain about, except stupid credit card companies sticking it to me any way possible. I wished I could wake up and all my debt be gone.. poof! lol

I should probably get back to doing some actual productive work, like maybe vaccuuming or watering my garden. Or maybe watching the Soloist that I got from Redbox. LOVE redbox :) If you don't get their Free First Monday movie text, you should go to Redbox's website and sign up!!!! Awesome deal. A dollar saved is a dollar earned :)

The newest addition

I write this blog, as I listen to Sawyer bark at Drea (who is hiding in the closet) to come out. He wants to play and she wants nothing to do with him. She barks back in anger and he puts a large amount of distance betweent them! ha ha Now he's deciding to carry a leather belt around like it's a chew toy. Sawyer is fitting in quite nicely. He tollerates the cats, tries to engage in play with Drea and loves to sleep!!!! His favorite spots are underneath the coffee table and under the dining room table. I even found him sleeping in his crate today. I'm go glad he's adjusting well to his crate. He's only had a few accidents in the house and so far knows to go potty outside when Drea goes and he gets treats. He's a good eater, even though he's eating Drea's food. He knows where everything is and occassionally will grab a toy and carry it around the house. He did discover a dried up, severed snake in the front yard that he thought would make a good chew treat. YUCK!!!!!! We think that Sawyer is going to be a fitting name for him. He's already 10 lbs at 8 wks old. I know he's gonna be a big boy!!!! Drea better like the smaller size while it lasts because soon he's gonna be a horse compared to her! :)

HELP ME FIGHT FOR A CURE!!!!!

My Fundraising Page

Join my team and walk for a cure for Leukemia & Lymphoma.....

Awaiting the arrival of Sawyer

In approximately 5 days, we will be bringing this super cute bundle of joy home!!!! Sawyer will be 8 weeks old, current on vaccines and neutered. Although I'm not absolutely positive potty training a puppy is gonna be a blast, I'm sure it'll be an experience!!!! :)

I've already made sure there are plenty of new puppy chew toys and a fresh crate and bed for him.

Etsy Shop

In honor of our new puppy, Sawyer. I will be creating some treat named after him..... maybe something like Sawyer's Peanut Snaps. Who knows...... what do puppies like to eat? everything! I'm sure any ingredients I throw in will be 100% approved by him. Keep a look out for the new product in my etsy shop :)

OUR NEW PUPPY!

In about 3 weeks, we will be introducing a new little boy into our lives. We've adopted a puppy and we will get to bring him home as soon as he's 8 weeks old and neutered. We can't wait. Neither Chris nor I have ever raised a puppy but I'm sure it's a great stepping stone to having a baby someday! He is currently named Liam (thats what the rescue named him) but we are like 99.9 % positive we're going to name him Saywer (after the character on Lost). Because he's going to be a rough, tough, blonde boy. :) He is something along the lines of a Shepherd, Lab, Pitbull, Mutt. :) GONNA BE BIG!

I've already started shopping for the things he needs and can't wait to bring him home!
