August '08...so far so good!

I was really, really glad to see July go bye-bye. August has been pretty fine, if I do say so myself. Hubby's appointment with the foot specialist went well, we are moving forward with the surgery plans. He was a little more detailed than my husband would have liked (he's scared of medical stuff), but it sounds like he's going to be in awesome hands.

The only bad thing (well, make that 2 bad things...I just started my monthly nightmare, just now, and the cramps are killing me already) was that I burned my arm really bad making hubby breakfast on Saturday. It looks terrible and it's right on my wrist. Sigh...

We did get to take the boat out on the lake Saturday though. I've been wanting to do it for the last few weekends, and we had a very good time. The water is just cool enough to be nice, but not so warm that it's yukky. We took our doggies and picnic dinner and were out on the water at 4:30. We swam and ate and relaxed, and I was very happy.


This is Storm (the Malamute) and Ben (the mutt). Ben is a lot bigger now, we adopted him for Storm so he could have a playmate and it was a great decision! Storm will be 2 years old on Dec. 7th. and Ben will be 1 year old on Nov. 11th. They both like to swim, Storm more so than Ben, which is unusual for a Malamute. I will have to get some new pictures of them. That's another good thing about blogging, it's nice to have pictures in your posts...and that motivates me to keep my camera nearby and actually take pictures with it!

This is a picture of my dream bicycle. I am saving up for it, I got some money for my birthday and will hopefully get it pretty soon. Just picture it with a basket and pink streamers! I love this bike, and am looking forward to many adventures with it. Now if I could just get my darn Walmart to get it in stock again, I'd be set! When I first saw it, it was like angels singing "Ahhhhhhhhhh" and it was in a beam of light! I've been looking for a beach-type retro cruiser in baby pink forever, but the ones I found didn't have gears, and I need them here because of the hills. So it was a true moment. The problem was, we were broke, so I thought I'd ask for it for my birthday in a couple of months. When I went to look for it the day before my birthday, it was gone! And they didn't know when/if they'd get more! And this was in June!! So I'm hoping hoping hoping...a miracle will happen.

Hey Harmony, I can't get on the blog of yours I usually read. I found your other one, though, and will start reading it later today (Life in the L.O.)
