Poor Elvis

Poor Elvis has a hurt eyeball.

Somehow he managed to get a scratch on the cornea of his left eye. He can hardly open it, only a little sliver. The vet shaved some of the hair away from around it, I think he looks as bad as he feels, the poor guy. The vet drew some of his own blood and then made a mixture with some other stuff for drops to put into his eye twice a day. We will see in a couple of days if it will help, if not he may have to have surgery.

Spoiled.....Who, Me?!?!?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

I got to celebrate my birthday for about 4 days!

It started on Friday with the girls giving me a birthday celebration, Jackie got me a beautiful white cake that was so yummy I think we only had one piece left!

Troy spent the weekend taking me around town doing pretty much what ever I wanted to do.....he got up early took me to breakfast & he even spent about 3 hours in the bookstore with me on Sunday.

Monday morning these Birthday flowers were delivered from my Mom & Dad! We went out for lunch, went to a movie and then had cupcakes for dinner!

Thank you for all the great gifts!

I am really spoiled, but I love it,

and I love all of you for spoiling me!

Thank you!

Beading

I took my first beading class, which was a Beaded Bead.

We took beads and stitched them together to make one bigger bead. I ended up changing the pattern up a little bit every time I made a new bead. I made bails on some to make them into pendants.

I took a couple and made them into necklaces.

And a few more into a bracelet.

I'm not convinced that I'm going to love beading. However I have already sensed how I can incorporate it into other things that I do love!

Happy New Year!

I hope this year brings you tons of what ever it is that you love, tons of time to do it & tons of family and friends to do it with!!!

Happy New Year!

Pictures at Matt & Steph's

These are some pictures I took at my Bro's house that I liked and thought that I'd share them with everyone. Enjoy!

I love Icicles!!!

Matt's dog Killer must have been a good boy cause Santa brought him a really big bone! I played fetch with him with snowballs but instead of bringing them back to me he'd eat 'em!!!

Matt & Steph's pretty horses in their pretty back yard.

White Christmas

We were lucky and got a very white Christmas this year!

This is a picture I took of Matt & Steph's (My Bro & Sis-in-Law) front yard.

And I had to take a picture of their Christmas decorations so I can claim that someone actually has MORE trees up in their house than me!!!! I think that I counted a total of eight trees!!!

Matt & Steph - I loved your decorations!

My parents, Corinne, Chris, Matt, Steph, Troy & I all celebrated Christmas at my parents house in Wyoming. On Christmas day we got to go visit Grandma, Papa & Teddy.

Thank you to my family for making Christmas very fun and memorable this year. We love you all!

Apple to Apples

I still agree with Dad....Boyfriends are more confused than Helen Keller! Of course that gave me the last green card to win the game too!

Santa Came Early

Santa Clause always comes to early to our house! We open gifts we give to each other before we leave to visit our family. We had presents overflowing from under the tree, we both must have been pretty good because we both got everything we wished for and more!

Thank you!

Thanks to all the girls for coming over and celebrating! I had a wonderful time at the party and enjoyed having all of you at my home. Thank you for all the wonderful gifts! I will treasure them always.

Jackie took this great picture of me and my boys; Elvis & Otis. And yes my Santa hat is pink and does have rhinestones all over it.....what else would you expect from BlingGirl?

Naughty or Nice

I got to sit on Santa's lap this year, he asked me if I've been Naughty or Nice. I told him that I'd been a little Naughty. Troy said a little Naughty is Nice. I guess that means I'm on the Good List, can't wait to see what Santa fills my stocking with...

Jackie's comment made me remember that I was going to point out that it was very fitting for Santa to have a "Diet Coke Throne" for the "Diet Coke Queen"!

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

I would like to wish everyone a

very Merry Christmas!

For those of you who don't already know:

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

Every year one of the things I look forward to the most is watching the movie:
"How the Grinch Stole Christmas"

staring Jim Carrey

I love getting a big glass of eggnog and a plate full of cookies and watching the movie with Troy, I think he enjoys it just as much as I do!

I'm starting off the Christmas section of my blog with the trailer from the movie, if you've never seen it, it's a MUST for the holidays & if you've already seen it you know that you just can't get enough! It's chalked full of adult humor, definitely not just for the kids.

~Enjoy~
