Sick Puppy

Ok ... took Mr. Dalton to the vet who thinks he ate something he shouldn't have and now he is on a strict feeding schedule with the blandest food possible ... I think he might be more unhappy now then when he was sick ... haha my baby likes to eat. Meanwhile I'm stressing about sick babies :( I'm a worrier and I'm trying to keep it in check. I'm toasting to healthy happy fur babies and less stressed momma's :)

look at that face :)

of course I worry about him

on another note the period is overtaking my feelings ... it is making me pose these two questions to my lovely ladies on here 

1. why should I be ok with the horrendous horrible ex girlfriend who happens to be in my space sometimes? Why should I deal with this? Even if the boyfriend doesn't speak to her and doesn't like her, should I have to tolerate her? Because honestly I think not.

2. Why do I have to be peppy all the time? Sometimes life sucks ... hello hence the blog ... I'm not gonna pretend that everything is lovely when in fact it blows. Is this not ok?

Honest answers (agreeing with me or not) are welcome ... I just had to get some stress off my plate

Modernism Monday

Today in class we are doing Modernism ... this era and the mood of it pretty much reflects how I'm currently feeling :(

Easter started off not great when I woke up to Mr. Dalton (my furbaby) puking :( then he would not eat ... then of course I worried all day yesterday because nothing to check my poor baby was open :(

Easter went up hill because I have awesome family

But then down hill again because I had to deal with all these things at the same time

sick puppy :(

period :(

period emotions :(

stupid, horrible, horendous ex-grilfriend that just won't go the hell away :(

boyfriend not being the most understanding of my current mood :(

And today I'm dealing with:

sick puppy :(

no sleep because of sick puppy and lame boyfriend :(

wicked sore throat to the point of not swallowing :(

period emotions combined with emotions about awful ex-girlfriend :(

yep ... modernism ... I feel ya

Hope y'all have a better day and I'll keep you posted about Mr. D's vet visit :( poor poor baby

p.s. aren't ex-girlfriends the worst? why does she still exist in my life? if you feel my pain let me know ... it might make me feel better

Happy Modernism Monday everybody!

He is Risen ... Happy Easter

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. ~Isaiah 53:5


Thank-you Lord Jesus for dying so that I may live 


The tomb is empty ... He is Risen ... He lives ... We are so blessed


"I don't have time to maintain these regrets when I think about the way He loves us" 


Happy Easter everyone ... don't forget why we are all here to celebrate

No fat pictures today

To all of those who were hoping I would post another gross, chunky, bathing suit picture this weekend ... sorry for your luck. I mean I know you're dying to see it, but really what difference can a week make in dieting adventures? Not much right ... so you'll have to settle for two week weigh ins. Let's get real ... my sanity can't handle anything other than two week weigh ins.


However ... here are some things I'm loving to help me take care of my unacceptable, chunky, disappointed self


Glamour Magazine's Suddenly Bare Workout ... which you can find here! I love it ... I feel like I actually worked out after it and that maybe I will be ready to be suddenly bare when the time comes!


My Fitness Pal! You can find that here! This is so handy! It tracks my food calories and what I'm allowed to have in relation to how much I want to lose! It rocks ... if you are crazy busy and can't keep track this is an excellent way to do so!


I'm also loving my walking/jogging as much as I can ... eassh ... partner!

A tribute to you Dalton for forcing me to work out even when it sucks to go outside! What would I do without you?! :)


p.s. disclaimer ... this was NOT taken in April ... do not get upset!

Water For Elephants ... Fashion Inspiration

The movie I'm dying to see Water For Elephants came out at midnight and I am loving the clothes they put Reese Witherspoon in for this movie! So, I decided to join all the fun over at Blonde Episodes for Fashion Fridays! If you've never visited Kori ... make sure to do so ... she is fabulous!


Water For Elephants 
























Love Love Love ... everything ... these clothes ... the hair ... the makeup. I couldn't have lived with the rules of 1930's but wow could I have lived in the clothes! In fact I might start now. Now ... I just hope the movie doesn't ruin the book ... we will see won't we. I'll be off dreaming of pretty 1930's dresses today ... sweet daydreams to all of you.



Thanks Kori for a reason to look at pretty dresses today :)
Happy Fashion Friday Everyone!

Maunday Thursday

I DVR'd my story ... One Tree Hill ... and sat down to watch it tonight (because I don't have school tomorrow WooWoo) and Hayley was having her baby and she said at the end of the show "Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of us"  Now, I'm not entirely sure that I want to have babies or really like small children but ... I adore this quote! And I think it is applicable for this time of the year. God believed in us so much that he sent his son and his son believed in us so much that he died so that we may live. They are not discouraged of us yet.

Better Late than Never ... Tuesday!

So, I know it is 10:00 on Tuesday and everyone else has their Tail-wagging Tuesday Posts in ... but Hey! Better late than never right? I think so too!

 I am linking up with CMae over at Live What You Love! to show off my furchild's BLING BLING :) and I know she won't care that I'm bringing up the post rear and you should for sure go visit her fabulous, friendly self :)


Without further ado ... bling bling ... here we go

I was trying to get the words on his little bone medallion but alas I couldn't ... however it says "Best Friends ...  (no bones about it)" :) and then his tag has his basic info and he has a bell so I can always know where he is ... vital so he doesn't get puppy ideas and get into things :)


So ... clearly, his collar is black. Yep ... plain old black. Did I hear a "why do you let your furchild run around with a plain black collar when you are so fashionable, Bethey?" Well let me tell you blogger friends that I made one huge mistake early on ... I picked out a baby collar to bring Dalton home with and I wanted blue because that is his Daddy's favorite color, but the only blue they had was patterned ... no big deal right? Wrong. Later on Scott (aka Dalton's Daddy) pointed out that the pattern was in fact butterflies ... ooops ... so now Daddy demands that Dalton be treated like a man and have a manly collar. Black it is to match the black leash ... welcome to our pretty original family :)


That's Dalton's Bling ... or lack thereof :) Sorry it's so late once again, but you know at least I made it before midnight!


p.s. Dalton has a naked phobia and doesn't like his collar being touched unless he's being taken for a walk, which is why I had to wrestle it off of him to take a picture of the medallion ... easshh ... this is what he looked like after our wrestle and the collar is safely back on

what a survivor ... or a spoiled baby ... you decide :)
