Blog swap!

About a week or so ago, Belle on Heels decided to host a spring blog swap. I have never participated in one, but I read tons of blogs and have seen lots of postings on things that people have exchanged... it looked like so much fun!

I was matched with Preppy 101 from All things Southern & Preppy. The name of her blog pretty much says it all! She is such a neat lady with the cutest preppy style. Head on over to her blog and see the treats I sent her :o) She is so stylish, I can't wait to see what is in store for me...it feels like Christmas!

This is what my life has been like for

the past two days! I have never seen so much pollen

in my whole life. Of course all of the cars and porches

are covered, but it is swirling around like mini tornadoes.

It is so thick on the streets that there are tire imprints in

the pollen.

I normally don't have a lot of problems with pollen, but

going outside makes me feel like I am coated in it. I just

want to run in and take a shower!

Bridget is suffering as well. Of course it is blocking her

nose, but her ears have become collection wells for the

sticky stuff. I have had to clean ear wax and pollen out

of her ears every night this week.

However, let me say I am thankful for spring and would

not want to go back to the cold and snow...no matter how

much pollen we have! GO SPRING!

Is that the Easter bunny?

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Pet peeves....

Dear Neighbors,

There is a reason for the leash law.

No matter how cute your dog is, or how

well behaved he may be, PUT HIM ON

A LEASH! I do not like being chased onto

my porch, followed down the lake trail or

forced to not walk with my dog because you

refuse to control yours.

Your dog may not bite, but mine does, and

I would like you to keep him away from her.

I would also like it if your pet did not get run

over in the street because you think he needs

to "run off some energy."

So come on responsible pet owners...put on

those leashes, get off your butts and WALK

with your dogs. And beware of the French

Bulldog with the snippy owner...SHE BITES!

Thanks!

the pleasure and the pain...

I have tendonitis of the elbow. How

did I get it? Golf? Tennis? Gardening? Oh no...I got it

from reading blogs!

I have a Mac that I use with a mouse and I am on the

internet all of the time. I started noticing a twinge of

pain in my thumb, then my wrist and now my elbow

is INFLAMED!

So in order to write this post and cruise all of my

daily reading blogs, I have to put on my wrist

splint and rest my arm on a pillow at just the right

angle so it is in line with the keyboard! It is quite a

process just to get situated and I look really stupid. But

It is totally worth it...the joy is worth the pain :O)

Spend or save???

It is bonus time at work! If we meet

our goals, we get a percentage of the profits! Times

are tough and it seems so busy and short staffed every

day if feels like I never meet a goal :o( However, I guess

we did something right because we will get a little extra

in our paychecks next week.

My thoughts immediately turned to handbags! I have

my eye on a Coach in this weird green color...or

maybe a down payment on another French Bulldog!

But alas, I will put it in the bank. I am really a saver at

heart...I dream big, but I don't like to spend my money.

Boring!!!!!

I want a tan!!!

It would have been a perfect weekend for

going to the beach and getting my tan on. But I am held up

until after I go to see the dermatologist next Monday. I need

to have a skin check to make sure I don't have any

"questionable" moles. My Dad died from metastatic

melanoma (albeit not the type that originated from his skin),

but I must do it. I would feel like a total jackass if I walked

into a dermo appointment with a tan! That would be like

walking into rehab with a bottle of whiskey. So I will wait...

and when I get the all clear, it is gonna to be

COPPERTONE CITY baby!!!!
