Flowers, Dogs, and Vomit...Oh MY!



I had absolutely the best day yesterday! Everything was the same as usual until after lunch. I was outside of work and the Artistic Florist Van drove by and I thought to myself...I wish they were delivering something to me...and they were!! Jimmy, the greatest hubby in the world, sent me flowers just because.

Actually, there is a story behind the flowers. We always have Monday Night Football at our house. This past Monday, Jimmy was suppose to clean the shop up so Amy H. could cook...he forgot to clean. He went and played golf. So of course being the loving wife I called him and informed him that the shop was disgusting and needed to be cleaned. He of course had to finish his golf game.
I decided to get brave. Lesley and I found some rubber gloves and decided to clean...did I mention there were week old chicken bones hanging out with their new friends The Maggots! SICK SICK SICK!! I think I screamed. Needless to say, it was disgusting! Luckily Lesley was there to help and then Amy H. helped too! They are some troopers. They deserved flowers more that I did!

I also have another reason I love him dearly. We have a dog named Leroy who is precious, most of the time. Ohhh...I have to tell this story first...then I will finish the first story...This morning I was on the phone with my mom and Leroy escaped out the back door. So of course I started yelling at him to get back in the house...this is what I said "Leroy, GET back in the house? DO you hear me?" Ok ...Add my southern accent and frustration and I sounded like I walked right out of the trailer park. I started laughing of course. My poor mother...I know she was wondering about what the hell happened to me.

Ok...Back to Pageants...

Leroy my precious dog loves to chew on leather. Well yesterday he decided to eat leather. Dogs cannot digest leather. They throw it up! I don't do throw up! Jimmy...God love him...cleaned it up. He scrubbed the carpet and everything. When everything was done he told me it was all clear and that I could go back in the living room. Heaven help me if/when we have kids. I don't know what I will do.

Take a Hike Ike

Ok!! I am definitely not in love with Hurricane Ike. He canceled my weekend plans. I realize on the grand scheme of things this is the least of the worries of Hurricane Ike...but it is still annoying. We were suppose to go to Austin this weekend and watch the Razorbacks attempt to beat Texas. I was more excited about going to my sisters and hanging out with her. I am not sad however that we are missing the drive down there.

I don't how many of you have ever driven from Arkansas to Austin...but it sucks! We were going to take our most fabulous conversion van so at least we would have been comfortable! For those of you who have never ridden in the conversion van...it's great! We have figured out that you can fit 14 people and 2 big ice chests in a conversion van and have one great party!

So now I get to make new plans. I do know for a fact that we are going to T-Berry's (Augusta's local bar) for their grand re-opening on Saturday night. There is another new owner with big dreams. He wants to make the bar a two story bar with a country dance floor upstairs and a rock/rap dance floor downstairs. The Augusta bar scene is getting fancy!! Well kinda...they did spray paint the front of the building...instead of buying a new sign...It's awesome! But I do plan on having a few cocktails and probably I'm going to do a little dancing.
