Catch Up

It's good to be back.
FINALLY.

After my last blog post on Ashley's birthday, my computer blew up during a hard rain. I heard a loud *POP* and the power surged a bit, then it went dead. I mean D-E-A-D.

I called the phone company and proceeded to chew some M-A-J-O-R ass. I was not happy. And THEY knew it. I had a telephone repairman at my house that Saturday checking my line to make sure it was grounded. AND I had a brand new upgraded modem the next day as well.

THEN I called HP. Told them my problem and stated that since the computer was only 28 days old, I wanted to exercise my Warranty. THANK GOD FOR THAT. Well, apparently the warranty doesn't cover NEXT DAY AIR. Hence, the absence from your beautiful lives the last 13 days.

That being said, here's the skinny breakdown of what's been going on here.
~Still have 3 puppies for sale. They are cute and getting bigger by the day.
~Had 6 interviews out of those 41 resume's.
~Natalea had a Band Concert and did FABULOUS. Pictures to follow as soon as I edit them.
~Monique does a headstand from a Tri-Pod position...AFTER I show her what a Tri-Pod is....and she LAUGHS HER ASS OFF!
~I was offered a part-time job as an office assistant for Ameriprise Financial. (Found out today that one of the Lawyer's-Mr. Tippett {the one that reminds me of Steve} is still trying to reach Steve for the skinny on me..so Steve...ANSWER THE EMAIL PLEASE ''cause I really want that job!) And his wife is a CM Consultant....he said he wasn't going to let us get together.
~The lawn is growing...and green. I did get the lawnmower out, but I need 2 new tires and a battery before it's operational...and I have to pay for it.
~We leave for our trip in 7 days.
~My Grams is in the hospital with pneumonia. TAKE YOUR ANTIBIOTICS GRAMS!
~Found out today...NEIL DIAMOND is kicking off his tour in St. Paul on July 19, 2008! IMAGINE THAT....it is his favorite city to perform, so he says. Guess I will be vacationing in Minnesota in July. Tom said...Get a job and I can go then! Mom said she was going too..so DOUBLE YAY THERE! Tess will get tickets or mom will..I'll give them the rundown on Ticketmaster next week when I get there! WOOT!
~Girls are excited to go to Minnesota.
~Got the Puppy Papers...they are officially registered pups now.
~And...I cut my hair. Shorter and layered. Look out George, here I COME!

I will leave you with that for now. I will post more in the morning. Back to my usual routine now. Happy Hump Day.
Love,
TT

Happy 18th Birthday Ashley!

Happy Birthday To You!
Happy Birthday To You!
Happy Birthday Dear GodChild!
Happy Birthday To You!

Dear Ashley,

I wish you the best day ever for your birthday. I know you'll be spending it in school, but at least you're getting an education.

It's hard to believe that just 18 years ago today you were born. That you struggled for your life and proved everyone wrong, just amazes us. I say us, because I know I can speak for Grandma and the rest of the family too. You have surpassed and defied everything they said you wouldn't do. We can't wait to see what else you will do!

As you go through your day today, I want you to know one thing and always remember it.
Live each day of your life as if it was your last. Make the most of all your days, little girl. Like in that song by Tim McGraw--Live Like You Were Dying.

I know I can't be there today, but when I get back to Minnesota at the end of the month, we'll have party for you. I am working on a very special project too for you, with Grandma's help. Megan is helping with the guest list for your party...so make sure to tell her who you want there!
{I don't care what your mom says, we WILL have a party to celebrate your life!}

Do you like the purple? Hehehe...I know it's your favorite color, so just for today for you, it's purple!

Have a great day and I'm off to call you now, as soon as I get the girls up!

Love,
Nana

Now, if I don't get a call in the next week from that stack, I guess I will have to hunt down the Hottie Postmaster (One day I'll get a picture for you!).

I'm off to mail these now...and take a gander around town as I've not been out in 2 days. Lucky I took a shower and switched pajama's today. Heh. Love my jammie days!

AND....

ONE MORE DAY FOR ASHLEY!!! I get to wake her up tomorrow...as only an Aunt could. Now, I just have to pick and chose a time to call her...hehehehe!!! Don't YOU wish YOU were turning 18 tomorrow??!!

Happy April Fool's Day!

While I don't have any jokes to play on you today, I want to still wish you a Happy April Fool's Day. And if you know Mary Vela, tell her Happy Birthday from me as well.

The Countdown is still on...2 days after today...Ashley turns 18!! {I really have to finish up this room so I can get working on her present!} Maybe we should throw her a party when I am home...all those in favor...say "AYE!"...and let me know. I can plan that baby from right here!

Puppies...are getting big. They are 4 weeks today. We tried some puppy chow, mashed up and watered down....that went very well. So we'll be doing that once or twice a day for a week and then increase it from there. It will be a gradual process. Oh, and we took them outside too for a little bit. Chubby loved it, but them girls didn't like it much. They whined and of course my girls cuddled on them to get them to quit whining. It's a vicious cycle around here.

Happy Tuesday to y'all. I hope you have a very productive day! I know I will!!

Love,

TT
