one week to go

one week from today we will have our new puppy. they added new pictures on the link, so check them out again. we need to start getting our house ready. we also got our new fence for him and need to put it up.
this weekend we are going camping and then going to cleveland to see wicked and the yankees/indians game. then when we get back its puppy time.

ooooh greys anatomy is soooo good. we can't stop watching it.

fiesta

so the fiesta went off without a hitch.... i'll post some pictures tonight maybe i havent even put them on my computer yet though. so it will probably be tomorrow. Our dogs are still exhausted from the excitement of the party. all the kids just loved the dogs.
yesterday after we cleaned and ate at spragues and cath and mike went camping- we sat on the couch and watched 5 episodes of greys anatomy. it is such a good show!!
tonight we are watching some more.

so my birthday is in less than a month...if anyone needs any ideas i've been thinking.
things i want for my birthday:
Laguna beach season 2
a redsox sweatshirt

vacation day

we took today off from work to try and get ready for our fiesta.

its official so i can write about it on the blog- i am quitting my job and got another one. i'm going to be working for the same company as ryan but at a different location. should be a good change for me. Less stress and more money. i'm excited. i start on july 17. they announced it at work. my boss still hasnt even said anything to me about it. strange. i'm excited though for a change.

last night we watched donnie darko, it was a bit strange, but good. i dont think i paid enough attention to it.

ok well i have to get out and get to work with ryan

pups

does everyone know its pattys b-day tomorrow? she will be 5!! i cant believe it. i think i should put some cute pictures up of the girls since there has been so much slander on the blogs about them.


wouldnt you love to wake up to this every morning?


thats my linnie

tonight there were thunder and lightening storms...so cool.

i stained the steps and the picnic table too. they are going to look very nice. i am starting to clean inside the house now. ryan still has a LONG way to go on the garage. i dont think its going to be done in time for the fiesta.

we decided to take a vacation day friday to get ready though- looks like we are going to need it. sucks to take vacation days to work around the house.

yesterday we went to ryans parents house for fathers day- they cooked chicken, it was really good. and their pool was open so i got to swim. felt so good. linus was so good with jordyn (she 2 and half) Jordyn would take the rope we tied to linus (cause she likes to run away) and walk around the yard with her. If linus went the other direction it would pull the rope right out of her hand and she would run after her going "mindy, come here." but linus never got nasty with her...patty would have.

house projects

well tonight ryan and jr did work on the garage...it took all night and they only got 3 pieces of drywall hung. its going to be a very long time until the garage is done. i however was much more productive. i painted all the trim on the outside of the house (becky you'd be so happy) and then i got our street sign all ready to post in the ground. So by the time of the chicken fiesta there will actually be a road sign.













i didnt get to "w" the dogs though. the only thing i didnt get done. it was hot though 73 when i came home. i filled their pool for them.

we have had 2 really nice weather days. i think tomorrow is going to be nice too.

tomorrow i am taking an excel class through work- hopefully i will learn a bunch.

check out below...picts of the garden are up

ANOTHER SUNDAY

the clambake was alot of fun. it was way too cold though. i wore my mittens for most of the day. i wasnt as hungover this sunday as i was last sunday, but not 100%. i HATE people who do not get hungover. stress the HATE part. we started drinking at 3:30 pm. we got home probably at midnight. today we went to the first church picnic of the summer, transfiguration picnic. i had lazy gulumpkees and pierogies... good polish food.

i took a few pictures of my garden, i will put them up on the blog soon.

i finally got tickets for wicked on ebay. i'm so excited for cleveland now. we are going july 2nd-4th. then on the 5th is the day we get murphy.

hurricane season

today is the first day of hurricane season....for those in the power business its big news.

i made a strawberry rhubarb pie yesterday, sooo good. i used phyllo dough for the crust though to cut points, i dont think i would do that again, it was too messy to eat and now its soggy.

it is pouring here...and it has been raining all day... so no gardening today. hopefully tomorrow i will be able to get them in.

The hills started last night - it looks like it is going to be a very good show.
