Bad things come in 3s!

Hello all... I have had some heartache in my life since my last post so there will be some sad blogging... but I will try and add some happy events as well so this post isn't such a downer.

First bad thing... Katie! When she came here years ago she was the meanest poeple hating thing I'd ever had the pleasure of being around. She hadnt ever been around people. she had spent years guarding the farm. but at my house... there is always people. Katie learned that people feed you people food and rub all over your body (which apparently feels super good). Soooo Katie became a lazy guard dog who lived for scraps and a good rub down from anyone who would feed or love on her. In the month of February... this old girl was run over and had to be put down. It was a very hard day for me. Not the worse I would have though. So RIP Katie.

Kooter!! Now this was the hardest day I have experienced in a long while. I have had Kooter since the day he was born. His entire life he ate like he was afraid after the food was gone there would never be anymore. And he loved to ride in the car. Last Friday I went to lunch with a friend and came home to find that he had died as well. I have no idea what happened or why. At the time I didn't want to know.... I just couldn't handle it. Luckily something saved me from the dark place I was in that day... I'll introduce you to that something later in the blog. But for now I need to take a break from the blog while I go take my shoe away from that something that saved me!! RIP Kooter!

This is Keno. My boss's dog. I'm just as attached to him as I am my own animals. I guess since I spend as much time with him as I do them. He even stays with me when they go out of town. Last Saturday... the day after Kooter died... Keno was chewed up by 4 big dogs that pulled him through his backyard fence while he was out taking care of personal business. The vet said he needed to be put down so ... Lisa let him be. The twins don't really understand but they do talk about him being in heaven. RIP Keno!


          So those are my 3 bad things. 3 dogs in 2 weeks. Lot of grief. Let's get some happy in this blog. or at least something a little less sad. :)

Got my bracelet off. and yes even though I'm super white... there was still a tan line. And no more lines across my face when I sleep. For those that don't know... that bracelet was wore from the time my brother left for afghanistan and until the night he was back on US soil. I had the flu so he and I had to cut our bracelets off through text photos instead of person but lol the pictures still made my mom cry. Also for those of you that don't knowww... he's in texas this month. Got in last night.

Sorry it's sideways... no matter what I do it just wont turn. Meet Bogart... this big little guy is the one I was talking about saving me. The evening that kooter died... after having cried all day in bed... my dad called and asked me how I felt and if I could come outside to his vehicle. When I did... he handed me this guy. How does a puppy not make everything feel so much better!!? I was still sad and cried but it was hard to stay sad with a puppy that was away from his mom and siblings for the first time. Nowww to everyone's amusement... he thinks I am his momma and he follows me everywhere and even howls when I take a shower and lock him out. Don't let the cuteness fool you though. I havent gotten a full night sleep in over a week andddd he has sharp freaking teeth!!! That's right... hes MEAN. He's also really sweet. And I already wubs him!!

Did this today... the light bulb in a lamp got me. It feels way worse than it looks. Dumbest part of the whole thing is that this is not my first time getting burned by that same lamp. In fact it's not my second or my third. Let's just say that this lamp kicks my butt on a regular basis.

Kinda boring cuz there is a lot of subjects but very little details!!

          I haven't posted in sooooo long. 1. because I kept forgetting and 2. well I forgot my password. Boy has my life changed since my last post. Lets see... chopped off a couple of feet of hair, dyed what little hair I had left a really really dark brown, pierced my nose, lost the piercing in my sleep a couple of months later, made new friends, lost some old ones, and had the very last birthday I'll ever have in my 20s. There has been major drama but there isn't enough cyber space to hold all the details. Besides... this is my happy place.


Let's start with today...

         Today was FLR day... If you've read my blog before you know what that is. Friends Laughter and Ritas. Mostly girls from my high school days and we get together every month or so and have a ton of laughs and we make lots of noise. Soooo much fun. This is a picture of 3 of us... Candie, me and Jessica. I have pictures of all of us but I was unaware the waiter was doing a slide show and I look horrible in all of them and since this is my blog I chose a pic from today that I look semi ok in. This one won. I have some scary roots going on though. After spending 3 fun loud hours at Logan's with some of my favorite girls... Candie and I went SHOPPING! I got a sample from ulta and left it in her truck :(. It was a good shopping day because I smartly left my wallet in her truck to keep me from doing what I shouldn't. I should do that more often. Although we took a picture of a necklace at compass that I need to go back and get because it will go awesomely with my dress for my dad's wedding. Now to find shoes and earrings.


June!

          This is a picture of me and my dad from Junie's birthday party... I didn't take any pics that day so I don't have any with me and Junie. I was having an awesome hair day that day though!! We had hot dogs and cupcakes in the park. Junie had so much fun and got tons of presents. Afterwards me my mom and Lerin did some shopping, had dinner at rosas and then went and saw what to expect when expecting. It was a pretty great day... one of the last I would have for awhile.

          My dad's birthday in the stockyards I met the man of my dreams... yes that's him in the picture with me... Isn't he awesome. Black hair and blue eyes is my thing!! It was a pretty good night except taylor was tired so we didn't get to do anything and went home early... oh well it was fun. I'm not a chocolate cake person but I actually liked the chocolate cake we had from sweet imaginations. Although there is a creepy balloon artist/clown/cowboy in the stockyards... I totally get a chester molester vibe from him. This is the last long strawberry blonde hair you will see in my blog for a long long long time... I hope to have it back as soon as possible but these things take time.


July:

I cut several feet of hair off and donated it to locks of love. And then because I was feeling a little wild and like a rebel... I dyed it a very dark brown. It was definitely a major change as you can tell. It took months to get used to seeing it in the mirrow. My stylist had a grand ol time cutting all that hair off... she gets scissor happy any way. Thank goodness Lionela was there to hold my hand. But the change was good for me. Buuuutttttt I want my old hair back!!

          Nose Ring... this is less than an hour after I got it done. Lionela held my hand (literally) through this too lol. With 30 rapidly approaching I wanted to do something I had always wanted but never did before it was too late... a nose ring in your 30s is just lame. It only lasted like 4 months because it caught on my bracelet while I was asleep and just slipped right out... I didn't even realize it until 4pm the next day and then it was too late... it wouldn't go back in. Soooo I had a nose piercing for 4 months of my life... It was kind of annoying anyway.


August:

          Kate and Rylee's birthday party... These girls have the most funnest birthday parties ever!! I think the grownups have just as much fun as the kids... I definitely enjoyed filling the pinatas!! We ate just as much as we stuffed. Actually I didn't cuz Ry kept stealing my candy stash!



September:

           Labor Day. I spent the first half of the day at my dad and Johnnas labor day party. Which is where this picture of me my dad and Lerin was taken. I didn't have any food here because 1. I don't do bbq and the kind of meats they had and 2. I had another party at my grandparents to go to. The grandparents had burgers... I like burgers!! This day turned out to be a lot more fun than I had figured it would.

      

            Break the silence 5k at the ball park in arlington... Candie Lerin and Kate walked with me. It totally made my day... I wish some of my family could have made it but hey what can you do and I consider these ladies family anyway. It was so much fun. You can get a lot of talking done in 3 and a half miles. But whatever you do... don't drink a milk product in the september heat right before you do a 5k. The stuff I threw up was uber yucky! But is was still an awesome day!! we need to do more 5ks ladies!!!

          Brain Tumor 5k to support the brother in law candie lost last year. We did this one week from when we did the ovarian cancer 5k! 2 5ks in a row like that... oooooh weee. And it rained on us the whole time.... actually the rain was really nice. It definitely wasn't hot like it was the weekend before. And that walk felt like it was the shortest but I walked way more miles than usual. I had to park like a mile away grrr. but walking is good for you lol.  I wubs her!!


October:

          Ice Age with Candie and her girls. I love Ry's face in this pic. It totally shows her mischief!! This was a really good movie and I always enjoy these girls. Ry fed me sour worms.  Ry also did other things but lol I wont out her on the internet. Lets just say it was hilarious!

          On the border and then the cutting edge!! One of my most favorite nights of the year... Cutting edge night. It's crazy that I am the biggest scaredy in the world yet one of my favorite things to do is go to one of the scariest haunted houses. I had so much fun even though it was FREEZING and I didn't have a coat just a light sweater. I had Taylor's face buried in my shoulder all night and her hands squeezed the blood out of my arms. And I swear one time she bit me... she says no but I think she did!!



November:

         Thanksgiving at Lake Fork. Shiva and I went to Lake Fork to have Thanksgiving with my moms side of the family. We stayed in the Condo for like 5 days and Shiva LOVED it. She didn't want to leave. I'm gonna have to buy her a fake fireplace. She loved that thing and just laid in front of it any chance she could get. Her and I are both ready for our next trip.




December:

          My 29th birthday in the stockyards!! It was a totally awesome night annnnd a totally horrible night! But my awesome friends made up for the horrible part. It's been a long time since I laughed like I did that night. We had so much fun with the camera... my fb will prove it!! And not only did I get a ton of gifts from my awesome friends... a guy in one of the jewelry shops in the stockyards gave me a free pair of turquoise earrings... not my style but it was really great of him!! The theme of the night was... "photo bomb" and there was a ton of that going on!! I hope my 30th birthday extravaganza is as much fun!!!

          My aunt got married... it was such a sweet cute little wedding. Nooooo that's not what I wore to the wedding... I changed after... and then my dress was jacked by my cousin. This was a really great day. Most Roberts get togethers are... I love my family. And it was Lerin's first time in Deleon. She loved it. I wish Pt could have been the one to show it to her but he was in afghanistan!!

           Lake fork trip with Lerin and my neice JJ! Since we spent Christmas with my dad we went the next weekend to Lake Fork and had a christmas sorta with my mom and Marcus. I dooooo love those condos. I would totally live in one. This is the weekend I heard about a soft warm kitty a million times. and then thanks to a dead cat on the road I heard in the same tune... about a dead kitty that used to be a ball of fur! Lol! I also learned that Brookshires can be a very fun place to go!! :) my mom learned that she will never take me and Lerin to the Brookshires in quitman together ever again. Great times at the Brookshires!!!


2013:

            My first time in Louisiana and I get the Flu... All I remember of the trip is the walmart and wendy's in alexandria and this here gas station with a CASINO in it in Shreveport. I definitely wanna go back and try again. But I wanna go when I'm not dying and when it's not raining and storming.


I'll do a book review next time!!
