ah a weekend we actually did something

Steve driving to dinner with Alice and Gillian ... he sort of likes the Pathfinder, ya know for a guy who doesn't like SUVs ... Patti has grown on him


Our friend Gary, husband to Sally and father to Charlie, enjoying dinner at the American Grill, our new favorite restaurant



Steve is so excited, American Grill has chicken like Houck's in Marietta (on the river) did ... I think they are nasty ... but whatever makes the African happy


Say what you will, but every one, yes everyone, needs a pair of "happy shoes" ... and I do believer that hot pink patent leather moccassinesque heels count for that ... I'll clean house in them if nothing else, with a tiara on


Look how happy the happy shoes made me ...

Yummy skillet steak with a blue cheese sauce, spinach and broccoli ... what would LaLanne say

Like a pig in Buckhead, Sally eating vegetables is a RARE occurence ... she NEVER eats the greens ... this is a once in a lifetime photo op here ... but she seems happy

Ok, so I started posting a blog and then I screwed it up ... now 2 vodka tonics and 2 mojitos, and 1 ice lollie in ... I am too tired to do it again ... so here are the pics, tomorrow, I will add commentary .. how's that? I'll some it up ... food, fun, friends, after a migraine and a pulled back (Steve) and it ended with drinks and happy shoes .. woo hoo happy shoes ... ok there is a gordon setter sleeping on my foot and I need to go sleep on my pillow ... It's moving week ...

Oh and per the African ... London 2012 ... and we're taking "the doodle" (Snickers that is) across the pond ...

Another weekend lost ...

So Saturday was spent at the DMV getting Patti Pathfinder registered in Clark County, followed by a trip to Big Lots for dog toys and cheap Propel water, then Bed, Bath and Beyond for some coffee in k-cups, the grocery and then home to clean ... I had Tyler (13 year old son of my friend Kelly) with me all day and he "worked" with us to get some cleaning done and then we had dinner and yummy yogurt from USwirl. The day ended with carpet cleaning that didnt' go so well.

So today, I slept so late, I still am not feeling really well, I probably should go to the doctor. I met up with a lady to get a remote training collar for Etta Mae to help us train her since she is deaf, then we revisted Big Lots, had some home made Chicken & Veggie Potsticker and now sadly, we need a nap. I'm ridiculously dizzy ... and ugh I have so much to do for work before tomorrow morning.

On the upside I think I may have figured out how to do Billy Blanks Bootcamp in the office and my friend Amy, from the Auburn days, is here until next Sunday, so yay .... I have to etch some time out of this nightmare of a week to spend with her ... it's been forever.

The dogs still aren't bathed, another weekend that didnt' get crossed off the list and my Palm won't since with my work computer ...

Tomorrow is another day .....

Oh, check out my new favorite doggie mama necessity ... www.fizzionclean.com

Life, it just keeps getting better ...

So here's an update on our life ...

Jenny Jeep is out and Patti Pathfinder is in ... we LOVE LOVE the new Pathfinder! Fern loves third row seating!

We are moving next weekend, a bit unexpectedly due to irresponsible landlords, but it is going to work out well, so maybe we should thank them for screwing us over?

My work is great, stressful, but what job in public relations or advertising isn't - however, I love it and am really happy there.

Steve is LOVING his consulting position ... (sarcasm all over this)

I'm trying to get everything in life in without overcommiting, something that I just do not think is possible ...

I am now PRESIDENT of Las Vegas Cocker Spaniel Rescue, woo hoo! Snickerdoodle and Etta Mae Jones are so proud of their mama though!

We are so excited to see friends this fall, yay for visitors - Amy is coming from Montgomery, Cassandra and "Big E" (that's what I call him) as well as my sister and Jim are coming in September and then Erin and Zack, my fave cuzzins, will be here for Thanksgiving, bless their hearts for daring the skies that weekend, they must really love us!

It was 115 degrees today (Friday) and will drop to 78 degrees on Wednesday - Vegas weather rocks!

So we aren't exciting people ... we never pretended to be ... I'm tired and have a smidgen of a cold coming on and Steve actually has to go in the office tomorrow :( .... I have to get a new car tag (for Patti Pathfinder), go to N. Las Vegas to see a friend, train EMJ to a pee pad (yeah, right), bathe all six dogs and if feeling advantageous, the pig too, work on a pitch to Fit Pregnancy, edit an article for Producers Web and edit some brochure and web site copy ... oh and clean the house start packing, steam clean the carpets, shock the pool, start packing ... all before Sunday at lunch!!!

I'll come up with something more fun to post soon, thankfully we have lots of activity b/t now and Christmas ... 4 sets of friends, Alana's wedding, Thanksgiving fun with Erin and Zack, Christmas (undetermined fun) and Erin and Zack's Hawaii wedding on January 3rd.

Stay tuned for potential excitement ...

I'm so jealous of Shelly's blog ... seriously ... ha ha

Bye Bye Casa de Cavaison ....

Sugarland at Fremont ...

All I wanna do who who who who
