Dog adventure weekend

It was quite an adventurous weekend with the dogs. Ryan started hunting yesterday morning so it was all me with the dogs. I got to sleep in since Ryan wasn't there pestering me to get up, so I slept until 10- 10:30 and I got up and decided to take the girls into town for a walk.... I cant walk the girls and Murphy so I was going to leave him in the fence. He didn't like that idea at all though- he kept trying to escape out of the fence when I was letting the girls out. So then I remembered I hadn't fed him breakfast. So I fed him and snuck out of the fence and we left. I was about 3 houses down on our main road when I looked in the rear view mirror and there was Murphy booking after me. I pulled over and put him in the car. If he wants to go somewhere he goes!!! It was so scary though, luckily I saw him or else he would have been on the main road for atleast a half hour. He could have been killed!

back to work tomorrow though.... ryan has the whole week off- lucky. i cant wait for thanksgiving...lots of good sales.

we made some more beer tonight, emilys amber, hopefully it will be ready to taste test for christmas- becky you better have your taste test license by then.

walks

i took the girls on a walk everyday this weekend, i am so proud, i havent done that in months i bet. they are such better dogs when i walk them daily. unfort. my new job is alot longer hours its seems than my last.

we went to see borat last night, i thought it was funny, but not THAT funny. it was so embarressing, i went to get popcorn with my old bag from the last time i went to the movies....and i walk into the concession area and looked at the popcorn bags on top of the counter and they changed the large bag!!! i turned around and walked back by the ticket guuy.... i was soooo embarressed! how dare they?! i still had a refill on that popcorn bag :) i saved it though, just incase they go back to the original bag. ha ha ha

today was a lazy day watching football....the bills almost won, which was good cause ryan wasnt too irrate during the game. other than that not too much happened this weekend.

new car!!!

so i got my new car tonight- its so cute!!

rav4

oh just a reminder- lots of people still owe me their $5 for the survivor pool...so pay up! especially if you are already eliminated....

well i went to the toyota dealer today with total intention of buying a used highlander....and well plans changed and we got a 2007 rav4!! i'm excited. the color is a dark blue very similar, probably the same as my dads scion. i should get it next week probably by wednesday. i'm a little sad to say goodbye to the bug but relieved too. so i said i would never buy a new car again- i lied i guess. i got $5400 for my bug though. i am very happy with that.

then we went to the casino and i lost $1.78, ryan lost $20. we ate at the buffet too. it was so good. they had the chocolate fountain out with rice krispies to dip in. i just love the fountain.

all in all a good day. i cant wait to get my new car...whooo hooo

people really need to get a life

weekend over

well the weekend is over...no fun. work has been so hectic and long hours that i am not looking forward to tomorrow. its going to be this busy for months. the weekends are going to mean so much more than they did before. last week i worked 4- 12 hour days and then 8. augh.
so this weekend i got my bug back- its time to search for a new car now. turns out the dealership in PA made me pay for my water pump- then turned around and put a warranty claim on their own into VW!! scum...

we cleaned the basement today, we are going to start to finish it off. first step is to move the washer and dryer to the basement though. i took pictures of our progress, but i havent got them on the internet yet. but i did load over 100 pictures off my camera and i think 95% of them were our dogs....you can tell what exciting lives we live. i'll link them up here, incase anyone wants to see our pups.

we took family photos of the dogs halloween costumes, ryan let me buy murphy a cute coat from old navy.

it was also suggested that i start putting up an entry to state who got voted off survivor each week- so just a warning that if you dont watch it thursday nights dont check my blog friday unless you want to know who gets voted off.

cold

it was freezing here this morning- i had to scrap ice and i didnt even have my icescraper in my car yet. actually i dont have my car- i am driving ryans truck. we took my bug up to buffalo this weekend to have the water pump fixed- it is still overheating. luckily the part is under warranty so i shouldnt have to pay for it. we went to dinner at red lobster and we had to eat off paper plates and utensils because there is a water advisory in buffalo - due to the storm. and they are like on survivor where you have to boil the water for 2 mins before you can drink it. it was an experience. very good though.

then yesterday i had to come into work to help with inventory. i wanted to shoot ryan for answering the phone :)

this weekend we are going to the bills/patriots game with becky and her friend. its going to be fun!!!! i just hope not cold and rainy. last time we went to a game it was awful weather. and i swore i would never go to another game. ha ha

wedding

well this weekend was nicoles wedding. it was alot of fun. i got to see so many people i hadnt seen in years. it was decided for me that i have to plan a camping trip for everyone next summer. sooo start giving me some good dates for people. it will probably be in the lake george area since a few people have boats and that seems to be a conviant place for people to go to. it is 6 hours for us but i guess we can handle it.

here are the pics

the bug is still leaking antifreeze- and i havent got confirmation that the warranty will cover the breakdown in PA. i am hating the bug more and more. but the thought of not having it is sad too.

linnie and patty didnt complain too much about their trip to auntie B's so i think becky was civil to them. big step for her :)

garlic festival

today we went to the garlic festival today in cuba. it was nice. we got 6 garlics- all different types all locally grown. apparently the garlic in grocery stores is from china! and we got some garlic dip spices. we made the tomato garlic today it was yummy. we had steaks tonight too with cloves of garlic in it. we probably smell so good right about now.

we got alot done this weekend. alot of cleaning and home improvements, alot of the nuisance stuff that just had to get done.

i got my bug back tuesday after $1280!!! and then it stalled on thursday and overheated on my way home friday. oh and the radio doesnt work. i dont know what to do i am sooooo sick of this car.

Last night we went out to dinner and then to a bar. it was fun- alittle dead out but i had a good time and i was DD so we didnt have to get a cab.

Cant wait to hear how the beer tour went in SYR

weekend #1 in albany

this was the first weekend of 3 that i will be in albany. It was nicole's shower. Here are the pics. Nicole was a very good sport about the whole thing, i thought the dress up was a riot. Sarah BEWARE!!
I also got linus her halloween costume. it is soo cute. there are pictures in there of her too.

my bug is finally done- they haven't told me the cost yet but i am going to get it tomorrow. i can't wait. i just want my car back.

today we had to go to a funeral for one of ryans friend, who husband (27!!) just died of a heart attack. It was SOOOO SAD. i cant imagine- and they have a 1 yr old son. just cant even imagine what she is going through.

Bucky on the loose

this morning when we got up there were flares up on the road in front of our street. i thought there was an accident or something but it was a roadblock and the st troopers were checking all the cars coming through. when ryan went through town there was another block and it was backing up traffic all through town. apparently last night someone tried to break into the pharmacy and they think it was bucky. SCARY. we have to lock everything up tonight. i guess over a month ago he stole a car from portville. he lived here years ago i guess.
oh in case people didnt know the story- a guy "bucky" phillips escaped from a prison near buffalo and has been on the run since april. they suspect he killed a trooper this weekend. the trooper died sunday and he is the main suspect. crazy.

OBX RECAP

Well we made it back and it only took 16 hours to drive back. We picked up a u-haul and then picked up my bug....took it to Du Bois, PA then dropped the u-haul off. We had some directions trouble in finding the VW dealership. thank god we made it. it was quite cramped in the silverado with 6 people but not too bad.
we got home at 11:00 pm and asleep by midnight. we had to get up early to get to the dogs. they seemed to be okay at the kennel. they had some funny stories. murphy was the "blanket stealer". Every morning when they came in to the kennel murphy had taken the blankets from the cages on both sides of him. and linus was the "social" one, cause everytime they let them out linus would have to stop and visit every dog in their cage. so funny. linus and patty both have a hoarse cough, but i think its because they probably barked for a week straight. Patty has one eye that seems to be bothered. hopefully it will be better tomorrow. i have some old ointment from before that we put in her eye.
the trip was fun, i am still pretty itchy from my sunburn. i think i got some sun rash.

tonight ryan picked a huge green "zuccini" and cath informed me today that it was a pumpkin!!! you learn something new everyday. ha ha ha

OBX

we are in the outer banks this week. we have had lots of fun so far... boring is not a word that can be used so far. my bug blew up on the way down, so we had to squeeze into ryans parents truck for half of the trip. i talked to the mechanic yesterday and they said the 'motor' was bad. they are going to have another person look at it. there is only 92k miles on it so i am not happy. i have a warranty of 7 years or 100k so i might have this covered we will see.
saturday we hit 3 hours of almost deadstop traffic. sunday it was beautiful weather - we went to the beach all day. yesterday it rained alot of the morning and then becky decided to drink a couple of 20 oz chocolate martini's and just about died in the pool. nurse sarah took care of her though and she made it. Only after puking in the pool ALOT. she doesnt remember much- i have some pictures though. i will be sure to post them.

tests

those were fun tests....bert was a little off though -I am by far no neat freak- ask Ryan. but I liked that website.


getting geared up for going to Syracuse this weekend. I have been trying to walk the dogs everyday this week - cause that is the dog whisperer's biggest thing is work, discipline, then affection. and work is walking. last night we tried to do what he did with the vacuum cleaner cause I cant vacuum with patty or linus in the house cause they attack the cleaner. but it worked last night doing what he said. I'm so impressed. my dogs have hope.

These are fun!!
