Annabelle is 8 Weeks Old

Happy Birthday, Annabelle! You're 8 weeks old today! We're taking Annabelle for her first vet check-up at Banfield this afternoon. And to kill two birds with one stone, we're also taking Lily Princess for her one year check-up and rabies vaccination. So, it should be quite a scene at Petsmart today.

There is definitely something about Annabelle.

Every time I take this baby out to pee (which is like every 3o minutes) a neighbor stops by to fawn over her, a car stops driving to stare, or a neighbor walking by stops in their tracks to gush about our commerical-worthy puppy. I am not kidding. She already has a fanbase at our apartment complex. I'm starting to worry about what I'm wearing when I leave the apartment with her. I also saw a commercial for Cottonelle bath tissue and a yellow lab puppy, probably a month older, was the star. You can watch the commerical if you click the link. Maybe I should be looking for acting jobs for Annabelle....

This weekend is the fourth and I may have to work both Friday and Monday. My office is closed Monday, but if the special session runs longer than Friday - my boss has chosen me to be the one to be here. However, if anyone calls with a session question I won't have any idea what to tell them. I'm the last person who should be here. But oh well, I'll get to take the holiday another time.

And I forgot to tell y'all. Amanda Oppermann officially requested my presence in her wedding as a bridesmaid! Yay! I'm going to be a bridesmaid in Feb. for Royale and next June for Amanda. It truly is an honor that I have been asked to be in, now, three of my best friends weddings. I am truly blessed. I love them all and am so so so excited for all of them in their engagement bliss.

The Tuesday After

Love that it's already Tuesday. You just can't beat weeks without Mondays, right? Although, I already have a full calendar for the weekend. Alisa on Friday and a staff event on Sunday.

The weekend was fun - at the least the part I was up for was. On Friday evening I met Sadie, Royale, Kerry, Laura and her bf James at Trudy's for dinner and drinks. It was fun catching up - although I had to stand up for Meredith and ended up making Laura cry. But I'm Meredith's friend and I just want to look at her choices as learning experiences. Keep it positive. They all went downtown, but I had to go home and put my foot up.

On Saturday afternoon Royale and Anderson hosted their engagement party at the Pence Ranch. I stayed about 4 hours and then had to go home to put the ankle up. I pretty much stayed that way the rest of the weekend. The BBQ was great. Caught up with more friends and Amanda and Mark ended up spending the night at my apartment later that evening. I brought everyone breakfast tacos and biscuits the next morning. I love being a good hostess.

Yesterday, Arthur and I just sat around, watched a lot of tv and ate too much food. But, honestly, that's all I really feel like doing anyway. I have my first real physical therapy appointment this evening and I will be having them every Tuesday and Thursday for a while I guess. I did my PT homework every day this weekend - so I guess I give myself an A+. The weird part so far doing my PT stuff is how little I can move my left calf, shin, foot, ankle, even my toes. It hurts big time when I have to move my toes. OUCH!
