"The One Where...It's Been Awhile"

Wow - 2 weeks! That's how long it's been since I have last made a blog entry! Deep down I knew this would be tough to keep up every week! Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do?!?

Let's see, where did I last leave off? Ahh yes, the weekend my relatives were in town! July 4th was pretty much an uneventful holiday. We spent the evening of the 5th with our neighbors in the cul-de-sac grilling out, having a few adult beverages and letting off a few fireworks. I can't express to you all enough what wonderful neighbors we have. We are always getting together to spend endless nights sitting out in the cul-de-sac talking about anything & everything! It will be a very sad day when any one of us move out of the 'hood!

The following work week went by fast. Managed to save a few people at work and continue to stomp out heart disease.

On Thursday, Shane left town for a "boys weekend" and headed to Pryor, OK for a 4 day rockfest called "Rocklahoma 2008"! Rocklahoma is the world's largest Rock Festival featuring bands from the eighties. People come from all fifty states to this event and every continent in the world with Antarctica being the only exception. Bring on the 80's big hair, leather pants and mullets! Here is a picture of the "Rockstar" himself from the weekend:

Since the hubby was out of town, I decided to host the monthly Girls Game Night which is always fun! For those of you that don't know what game night is all about let me fill you in. Over a year ago, I was walking the bulldogs around the neighborhood and met Melissa who was walking her chocolate lab named Dakota. She invited me to a Game Night where several girls from the subdivision get together every 2nd Friday of the month. Whoever is hosting for the evening provides the beverages and game to be played and everyone brings an appetizer to share. It is a great way to meet people in your neighborhood and make some new friends as well. So far the list is up to 15 girls and always growing. I have been participating for a year and 1/2 now and this past Friday was my 3rd time being the "hostess with the mostest" :)

On Saturday morning I took Neo to Petsmart to be groomed. While there, I bought Millie a new Cuz dinosaur, Bubba a new Kong toy and Neo treats. I get home, give everyone their new stuff and go about cleaning the house. About 10 minutes later, I see Bubba with Millies' toy in his mouth with the tail half chewed off and the squeaker no longer squeaks! Another $8 down the drain! Regardless of the incident, Millie still LOVES her new toy - despite the missing tail! I swear they are like children - can't take your eyes off of them for even a minute!

Well, there you go! That should put everyone up to date thus far. I will try my best and post another blog this weekend....don't hold your breath though :) Until then...
