Shelba

We're Here!

We're here!  We arrived at a small city outside of Houston!  We made awesome time and stopped only once for me to score an iced tea out of the cooler while Zorba slept.  So far we've eaten a Waffle House where we had food prepared for us by a beautiful young woman in black satin pants.  Yes, black satin pants on a cook at Waffle House.  She must be very skilled at not spilling anything on herself. 

Zorba loves staying at hotels and I do too, really.  This isn't fancy, but it is still fun.  I think we're either going to call our friends our we will head to the pool. 

Have a great weekend!

Sugar, That Hurts!

I had my bikini area sugared tonight.  It was my first time being sugared and I was told that it doesn't hurt as much as being waxed.  Let's face it, whenever you have hair ripped out the roots it is going to hurt.  Ow. 

The sugarer told me that people who have given birth usually don't feel the pain of waxing/sugaring as much.  Heh.  Well, I've never given birth, but I have adopted.  She felt bad, but really, how was she to know?  There was nothing to be offended about, so I wasn't offended.  It was funny. 

During and after the sugaring that hurt like a mo' fo', she told me that I was her easiest client of the day and that she never saw me flinch.  I told her that it was because I adopted and you have to be tough to do all of that paperwork. 

Zorba and I leave for Houston tomorrow!  I'm nervous about the drive, but excited about the weekend.  Thank goodness for the GPS. 

Zorba gets ready for the day

Theory

Said to me by Ray today, "Wow, I saw the picture of yourself that you posted today.  That was disturbing.  You really need to quit posting pictures of yourself like that." 

Uh huh.  See, he doesn't know my theory that one should post the most vile pics of yourself so that when people from the internets actually meet you they are relieved to find out that you're not quite that ghoulish. 

Look Away!

This photo is a failed SPC attempt.

Oh lord, this is scary.  This photo and my driver's license photo are identical.  Okay, so I'm not wearing this wig in the license photo, but still, I'm making the same face. 

Ray was up with Lola for a good deal of last night.  He thought he was going to have to take her to ER, but she finally settled down.  The good news is that she seems to be all better this morning.  She ate, she is not doing downward dog anymore, and she doesn't have that pitiful look on her face.  Kallie is back to normal too.  Phew. 

Guessing Game

I saw on a yahoo group that someone with a dtc date of June 8th (I'm June 9th) has a lid (log in date) of June 15th, so I'm going to guess that that is my lid date too.  I'm out on a limb with that guess, of course.

We shall see. 

Dog Update

Geesh, both dogs at the vet clinic today!  One had two teeth removed, the other had xrays and an iv.  We spent a lot of money on the dogs today.  A lot. 

Kallie is out of it.  She can barely keep her eyes open, but she still tries to follow me around the house.  Zorba senses that Kallie is not well, because she was so sweet with her today.  Kept resting her head on Kallie's back and petting her.  But it became a different story when Kallie had the nerve to try sitting in my lap.  Zorba didn't care if Kallie wasn't feeling well and started to holler at her to get the hell up.  Poor ol' Kallie. 

Then there is Lola.  She had blood work and xrays and they couldn't find anything.  We think she just has a really bad tummy ache.  She must have got into something, but we don't know what.  She won't eat, which is bad for Lola.  So they put her on an iv today, and that seemed to help her.  The catheter is still in tonight, and we are to take her back tomorrow to either have it removed or else to hook her back up to the iv. 

She came home after Kallie and it was a love fest between the two of them.  They sniffed each other over and stood side by side for awhile.  That qualifies as a love fest for Lola and Kallie. 

Zorba and I are going to Houston for the weekend.  We're going to hang out with three other families from our travel group.  My friend Mary is going to be there, so I'm really looking forward to this trip. 

That is all for now.  Dang, I posted 4 times today!  Time to hop on the treadmill.  Yuck.

Self Portrait Challenge - Pop Art - Week 4

Sometimes I work on my entry for Self Portrait Challenge and I think to myself, "Wow, you're really weird."  This is one of those times.   

 

I'm glad that this is the last week of Pop Art, because I didn't know what the hell I was doing.  I enjoyed looking at everyone else's entries, just didn't have that much fun doing mine.  But, that is one of the reasons why I like SPC so much.  It forces you to come out of your comfort zone and try something you wouldn't ordinarily do.   

Oh my gosh, there is nothing funnier to me than seeing Zorba walk around the house with this wig on.  I'll have to get a picture of her in this thing. It is hilarious! 

If you want to see people who actually pulled Pop Art off this week, go HERE!

                                                         

Zorba The Makeup Artist

I am amazed at how closely Zorba watches what I do.  This morning she was watching me put my makeup on and she started to mess with all of my brushes, compacts, etc.  The amazing thing is that she knows which brush goes with which compact!  She knows that the big round brush goes to the bronzer, that the blush brush goes with the big square compact, the concealer brush goes with the tiny compact, and she knows what an eyelash curler does!  She really cracked me up when she was pretending to put bronzer on and she rubbed the brush to the compact, then lifted it to her lips and blew before applying it to her face.  Just like I do it!  Holy crap!  She does all of this with such seriousness and like she really knows what she is doing, I can't get over it.  When I told her that we were done, she indicated that she needed one last touchup, grabbed a brush, rubbed it to the compact, and carefully dusted her face.  So funny and strange to watch.  I'm going to have to post about this on her blog, I think. 

Okay, we're off to the L. Gym and to drop poor Lola off at the vet. 

Darn it.

tI swear, Zorba would have slept until 9:00 this morning if I didn't have to wake her up to drop Kallie off at the vet's for her dental surgery.  Poor girl, she is going to have possibly 4 teeth pulled today!  Thankfully, she'll have a few teeth left in her head after that.  (I'm talking about Kallie, not Zorba)

Then I came home to find Lola not feeling well.  The last time she was doing what she is doing we had to rush her to the doggy ER.  She won't eat, she is barfing, and she started doing downward dog which means she is uncomfortable.  I'm getting ready to run her down to the vet, because I have horrible memories of her shaking and crying because of the pain she was in.  She had to be hooked up to an IV and it was bad.  So I'm hoping we can do something to help prevent this from getting to that point.  Poor, girl.  I just hope she didn't find one of Zorba's diapers and eat the whole thing.  Yes, she does that.  And with Zorba leaving diapers all over the house, it is possible. 

Congratulations to Steph, Perrin, and Chris who received their referrals yesterday!
