Ticker Update

It was called to my attention I have not given any updates as to the original intention of this blog... my heart check-ups for family. Soooo sorry. It doesn't bother me much so I kinda forget others are worrying about it! Well, I had a check up on Wednesday and received two pieces of good news...
1. I have "graduated" to annual visits! (insert pomp and circumstance here...) This is great news because I'm doing well, or they're just trying to get rid of me. I'm not sure, but I was taught not to look a gift horse in the mouth.
2. This is my favorite one yet...I have been cleared to do something I REALLY miss doing and is something really hard for me NOT do living in Orlando. Have you guessed what it is? I can ride roller coasters again!!! WOO HOO!

I think this should be my first one, what do you think Mom?



Who's with me?

I'm getting a nephew

Yes it's true! Lake and Elysa are having a baby boy and in true little sister fashion I am living to spoil the kid and torment my brother. I have nicknamed baby bump Wall-e ....don't ask and thus far my contributions to instill a sense of humor in this child are this:Wall-e's other aunt, Aunt Lulu, has found onsies that say things like "I like to hit the bottle", "I'm kind of a big deal", and "Fat kids are harder to kidnap". Any other suggestions for evil doting aunts??

Relaxing Sunday Afternoon

I went with some of my friends to a dog park this afternoon with Cally and her new friend Citgo. Cally got groomed yesterday so she had the time of her life strutting her stuff and showing off her little bows. Note to self, dog parks are dusty, sandy, drooly, and muddy. Not the best idea for the day after a grooming....

We got home just in time to watch the shuttle launch. We saw the lift on tv and then ran out into the driveway to watch the rest in the sky! So beautiful!

Frustrations Solved

When I first moved into this house, there was this scary crazy bush by the front door. I'm not sure what it was supposed to actually be, but I finally went and bought some pink gardening gloves and shears, waited for warmer weather (yes it actually gets cold here), and two hours of pent up frustration outlet later, voila!Who knew there was a double palm under there!! It's so cute and I can actually see my front door! I've always wanted to say, just look for the house with the red door, and now I can since you can finally see it!

P.S. Don't judge my lawn, I'm working on it...
