By George She's Got It!

Ok so today I put my thinking cap on and really tried on the eyes and tried using a coffee filter taped over the flash on my horrible 4mpx camera!
I decided that if I was going to take more photos, why not dress them up?? :)
First we have Lola's before:
And After my photoshop beginners skills:Teddy Before:And After:I think I did pretty good!!
I found them out in the yard earlier eating dirt. I am like "But you have to be CLEAN for the contest!"
Now these are some pretty eyes! (no photoshop needed!)

And here is one i took right in Lola's face with the coffee filter (the ones above with blue eyes did not have a filter).She is tired of the camera!
The party is around 4pm, so I will do my best to get pictures up tonight after eating chili!

What a WEEK I'm having!

When i was a kid, my favorite movie in the world was Splash. And I love the part where the little geeky guy was finally fed up and like "What a WEEK I'm having!!!"

That was me this week. We were so very busy, Lee worked late 2 nights in a row, then we had company 2 nights in a row, and work was alittle stressful as well. A little conflict within my family doesn't help either.

Last night was nice though. Lee and I ate dinner and just laid on the couch and I had a glass of wine and just were still. This morning we got up at took the dogs in for haircuts! They look just wonderful...I am trying my hand at photo shop, trying to make the "pet eye" issue go away. Hopefully when we splurge on a new camera that will help. Otherwise, I guess I need to carry a coffee filter around! These are my 2nd try, so I just have to really work on it.

Tonight we are attending a surprise party for some friends downtown. That should be fun! Tomorrow is the Halloween party at the doggie day care. Don't worry, I will have my camera (and coffee filter) in tow!

Fun Day / Night

Yesterday we went up to Tomball to visit with my dad, stepmom, and niece. Then we picked my little Mini up at the dealership, took and nap, and went to the grocery store.
After all that, we met up with Alyse and David (my boss and her husband) to go to the Houston Aeros game. They are a AHL team and really good! They won 8-6. We were in the 9th row, wonderful seats!

Today I finally got a hair cut / color, did a little shopping, then came home and made cookies and did basically nothing. :)

Let's get geared up for a new week!

Friggin Friday!

I had a meeting this morning far far away in Katy Tx. When I was about 5 exits away I heard a noise, kinda like a flat tire noise but not as bad (or bumpy). Then after a minute or 2 of that, one of those lovely warning lights came on. The kind that you think you know what it means but it is pretty ambiguous...

I was determined to reach my destination and not be one of those girls on the side of the road yelling into a cell phone and flailing.

I got to where I was going and looked - the sidewall was pulling away from the tread on my tire! I could see metal and all kinds of things!!! So I called Mini Roadside Service, went into my meeting, and then they towed my little Maggie away.
It is 4pm and they haven't gotten the new tire on yet, so Lee is just going to pick me up and we will go get it tomorrow.

Busy weekend ahead. We are going to see my dad tomorrow and have lunch and get in a nice visit. Then tomorrow night we are going to the Aeros game at Toyota Center.

Sunday is FOOTBALLAPALOOZA but i will be at the salon. I have said many apologies to my hair for it going so long without highlights and a cut. It tangles really badly and I feel like I am ripping out my hair when I am brushing it!

A Schnauzers' Worst Nightmare..

Lee's parents came to dinner Monday night, bearing a gift for my birthday.
Anyone who has schnauzers knows they HATE SQUIRRELS. What did I get for my birthday? A copper squirrel water can from Smith & Hawken!
Teddy growled at it!
