Hello

I can't believe it's been over a month since I last posted!!!  Where does time go?

We've been making some home improvements and between that & everything else I've been to tired to type or even think about typing. 

I think the last time I posted I had said I was going to the doctor .... he did increase my meds.  And ...some days I have more energy and then I don't.  I can't figure it out to save my life!!!  I think the key is I can't over do it.  Which aggravates me to no end!!! I'm a worker  .. a doer ...and to have limits is so frustrating!!

My mind or my brain ... feels younger ...but this body is not co-operating.  My sister and I were talking about Dolly Parton bringing a theme park back to Nashville and I was sooooo excited.  It was like they were bringing Opryland back (I loved it so much I had season tickets every year ...and not just for the rides ..the entertainment was great!!).

And then .... Kim (my sister ) ruined it and said "Angie, you'll be 50 when they open it .... are you going to want to ride those rides at 50" ... like I said my mind feels much younger ... but my body does not.

Dave reminded me the other day that plenty of people have thyroid issues and live regular lives.  I look forward to that day.  I went to a furniture store to find a bean bag and I had to walk from one end to another multiple times ... and all of a sudden I got so tired I just started crying.  I was thinking how do I get out of this store .... walk across the parking lot and also drive home.  It's like someone sucked the life right out of me!!!  I'm happy to say I made it home safely :)

Oh well, I'm starting a new diet ..... tomorrow is the day.   I'm going to document (blog) the whole thing ...but...I'm not posting it until after the first 30 days. 

Have a Happy Easter!!!

p.s. Miss Bella will be 7 months old tomorrow ....she is such a stinker ....if you're a friend on facebook you probably saw that she got out yesterday and I could not catch her ... I was in my pjs with bed hair and it was AWFUL ..I thought I was going to die and she was going to get hit by a car.   (I know I'm tad dramatic!!)

Happy Leap Year Day!

I thought I'd check in today and say hello .... on Leap Year Day.

Not much to report ...except my Thyroid meds are not working like they were and I'm tired ...again!  For example I'm writing to you all because I'm too tired to do anything else.  Which is not normal for me!! Regardless of what my blood work says.

I have about five projects I could do videos on ...but I'm too tired.  Maybe tomorrow.

So ...when I get down and out .... I desperately seek something to lift me ... so I got my hair chopped off ... but I'm not showing you yet ... it's soooo short.

But I will share with you the pictures I took before my hair cut ... here's what happened ...I was going to take a picture of myself to show my sister Kim .... I wanted her to give me some suggestions on what I should do ..since she has way more fashion than I do ... but when I went to take the picture ... it snapped four ... after that I decided to play :)  I didn't know my imac could do a collage on Photo booth.

As you can see .... a model I'M NOT !!!!

 These pictures were BEFORE my hair cut :O  Don't have an after picture yet!

Ignore all the mess behind me ... my office is still under construction ... we tore apart the sofa a few weeks ago and now it's out of here ... and I only have one more piece of furniture to put together and then we can start re-organizing.  My printer died last week so I had to go buy a new one last night ....isn't it always something?

Miss Bella is doing great .... she'll be 6 months old next week and I'm already stressing that I have to leave her at the end of April .... for a week ...and again in July.  She's gotten really big ...I'll share some pictures soon.  (She needs a hair trim ...I think I'm going to nickname her Shaggy ...she's sooo cute with them long ears!!)

Gotta run ... going to take a nap before I have to start dinner (Dave will be home tonight ... no eating out when he's here).

See ya!

Miss Bella is five months old today

Miss Bella is five months old today .... 22 weeks old tomorrow.
Someone ask me when I'm going to stop counting the weeks and I said "I'm not sure .... I guess when it starts to sound crazy".

I took a bunch of pictures of her today ...here's a few .....

This one was taken after she chewed up her hair brush ... We call this her guilty look.
If you look real close you can see her piece of carrot under her foot :)

Doesn't she look like a stuffed animal?

Bella was determined to get the hair brush from Brooke!!

Out on the deck ...... she loves being outside!

Tired from all the running around.

I took a bunch more .... but I'll stop here.

See ya later!

Miss Bella and her first hair cut

Here's a before picture with the groomer at The Pet Ranch.


She looks a little shaggy ...but adorable!
I wonder ....am I the first to ask .... if I can take a picture?
It was her first hair cut .....I had to have it for the scrapbook.
Here's some after pictures........


Remind me ... start using my real camera and take some better pictures!! My iPhone takes great pictures ...when you're not chasing a puppy around.






And .....the last picture is blurry ...but I had to share it ....her tongue is sticking out :)


I'll share a little secret ....all these pictures were taken with me holding her attention with Blueberries.....she LOVES them (me too). I give her around 8 to 10 a day.

I like her better with the longer hair ....but it's important that she get used to being groomed.

She was so exhausted afterwards that she and I took a nap.....when I woke up she was asleep on Dave's pillow ....don't tell him :)

See ya!

Miss Bella

Here's the latest picture I took of Miss Bella ....she was 17 weeks on Wednesday and weighs 9.12



What's funny is I bought this crate to take her back and forth to the vet and ....she's outgrown it :) She should be anywhere from 7 to 11 pounds ....I'm thinking maybe more.

Busy day ahead ....making progress on my craft room and I have a live stream at noon.

Have a good day!

P.S. forgive me for all my typos ....90% of my posts are done on my iPhone.

In this picture she kinda looks like Oscar the grouch.....she's actually very sweet!!

Heading home

These pictures were taken at the airport ...in our car.


Brooke is holding her and she's looking at me.


Giving Brooke kisses. (I was so jealous!)

I got so distracted that when I left the airport I got on the wrong interstate.
I was sooo lost that I had to pull over and google map my way home. I was seriously lost ....and I NEVER get lost.

P.S. if you're one of mine or Bella's Facebook friends .....all this is old news ....we're catching everybody up.

Must love dogs

Here we go .....
This is the very first picture of Miss Bella .....


I know ...not the best but I was in mom mode and my baby was starving after the plane ride.

We're lucky we had food in the car. The minute I brought her out if the airport she tried to eat a leaf so I figured I better give her a little snack.
