Five on Friday

Happy TGIF folks!  Hope you are staying nice and warm where you live.  We got some UNHEARD of weather here in my neck of the woods overnight and into this morning.  ICE, SLEET AND SNOW!!! In TEXAS - Houston to be exact - say whaaaaaaaaattttttt???!!!  Anyway, it took me 2 hours to get to work today due to all of the ice on the bridges and overpasses and the wrecks that it caused.  It wreaked HAVOC on Southeast Texas roads to say the least.  I was really hoping for more so that I could have enjoyed another 3 day weekend at home.  However, me being who I am, I am not one to take advantage of the system, so I slowly made my way to work like a good girl.no matter how much I would have preferred to be home in my nice comfy and warm bed instead.  My poor hubby works at the airport and he had to be at work at 4 a.m. this morning - all that nastiness was still happening outside when he had to leave - poor guy.  However, him being the kind and thoughtful hubby that he is, he scraped the ice off my windshield and pulled my windshield wipers up so I wouldn't have any issues when I left for work later this morning. :)  

Anywho, it is that time of the week again where I join in with Darci and Lauren and play along in their Five on Friday bloggy game.  I always love seeing what everyone has to say and checking out their blogs.  Also, I enjoy meeting and making new bloggy friends too. :)  So.... without further adieu - here are my current favorite Five on Friday:

I know this is late being posted now, but due to unforseen circumstances, I didn't get a chance until now.  Anyway, hope you're having a fabulous weekend so far!  Thanks for stopping by to say hello and please let me know you were here!

Lots of love and hugs,

Happy TGIF!!!!

My brain is completely fried this morning, and I'm totally exhausted - but I wanted to stop by and say hi and wish you all a very happy Friday and a wonderful and blessed weekend.  Anything fun and exciting on your weekend agendas?  We are getting another dog (a male golden) on Saturday to go along with our female golden (both English Creams) and will breed them when the time is right.  We are also going to my dad's this weekend because we've not seen him at all in at least a year.  Other than that, it's the usual - work around the house, grocery shopping, cooking, etc... Oh - and hopefully, hanging out relaxing in our new hot tub that we just bought - the hubster has wired it up and it's all ready to go - we just need to fill it up and make sure it's heating well.   

I hope to catch up with you all again soon - work has been NUTS this week to say the least so I've had no time to play on blogs or facebook, etc. lately. 

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Weekend Recap & the Newest Member of our Family

Happy Monday my friends!  How are you?  How was your weekend?  Mine was very good but very, very busy, as always.  Friday night after work I came home and did a few things around the house before laying down to relax and watch t.v.  I had to leave the house at 10:30 that night to go get my daughter from work - she didn't get off work until 11:00.  Then we got up early on Saturday morning and I had to be at the DMV at 8 a.m. so that I could check on a title for our Jet Ski as we were selling it and we didn't have the title.  Needless to say, it was a wasted trip because they told me that anything under 12' didn't have a title because they don't title things like that.  After that, I went and picked up my girlfriend and we headed to the Craft Fair that I told you about on Friday.  Here are a few pictures from that morning:

They were selling THESE bottle openers for $25 a pop - I was like - WHAT??!! There is no way I would have paid that kind of money for these - though they were pretty neat looking anyway - the bottles were completely flat and they were glass:

 

Of course, what is a craft fair without all the yummy goodness of delicious Funnel Cakes - even if they were $6 a pop! Good thing I had my friend to share with me! :o)

This was Strawberry Lemonade made with real strawberries - even at $3 a pop it was worth it - it was YUMMY!

 They had hay bales to sit on and rest your behind while you ate:

These were the NICEST Port a potties I have ever seen - they even had hand sanitizer in each of them and surprisingly enough, they didn't even have that " disgusting smell" that they usually have:

Me and my friend, K - enjoying ourselves and relaxing after shopping our way through the fair:

 This is our sad faces because I had to cut our day short:

And THIS is why I had to cut our day short thanks to the hubby - introducing the newest member of our little family:

Sophie:

She is an English Cream Golden Retriever

And we traveled to PA 2.5 hours one way to check her out and get her

Needless to say, she was inside for just a little while yesterday because the hubster is allergic to dog hair so she has to be an outside dog. :o(  This is his Anniversary and Christmas gift this year.  She has been THE best dog we've ever had besides our 2 goldens that we had for 5 years.  She is so well behaved and has an awesome temperment!  She already walks on a leash perfectly, holds her bladder so she doesn' t potty in her kennel or in the house, etc.  Hubby is building her a pen and getting her a dog house this coming week.  She has a kennel and is currently staying in our basement/garage so she isn't outside in the elements with no protection and also so hubby doesn't have to give her up because of his allergies.

After we got home and got our new baby all settled in, me, hubby and son watched our Razorbacks kick some major butt again - though, it was one of those games that you can say that they were lucky to win as many mistakes as they made!  They better get it together though because this weekend we are playing Georgia!  After the game, I had to leave yet again to go get my girl from work (at 11 p.m.) - good thing she only works weekends - I could not do this every night during the week.

Sunday I slept in until a little after 10:00 a.m. - I know - LATE - but I was not feeling well and was extremely tired, sneezing and run down all together.  I think I am coming down with a headcold already but am really hoping that is not the case.  I ran errands and came home and did some cooking.  Be sure and check back tomorrow for some recipes with pictures that I cooked on Sunday afternoon.  One of them involves the Pioneer Woman! :o)

So now that you see how we spent our weekend - tell me......what did you do this weekend? 

Happy Monday my peeps and thanks for stopping by!

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend!  Ours was nice and relaxing for a change.  The weather on Saturday was cloudy and rainy and then yesterday, it was a beautiful sunny day with a high around 60 or so.  We took our male golden, Buddy, on a long walk around the lake and while doing so, I was able to get some nice pictures of him along with the kiddos.  After about a hour or two walk around the lake, we then came back and I was able to get a lot more accomplished than I had planned.  I washed, ironed, cooked dinner, put stuff away, went to the store, etc.  It was a very busy day to say the least but so productive!  Here are a few pictures from the day - I hope you enjoy:

Buddy at the Park by the Lake:

Buddy and Bella in the back yard:

One of my favorite pictures of Buddy

My table - I added the silverware (that is gold) and also changed the candles on black candlesticks to pumpkins - I like it much better with the pumpkins - what do you think? 

Well, I guess that's all for today - sorry for the picture overload.  Hope you have a wonderful Monday! 

Big hugs,
