Geez, this weekend I don't know what flew by faster...the time or the money! LOL! Joe started his vacation Saturday, and with a bang, too....we went to sign papers on a new truck for him that morning!!! Yep, my dream of moving will have to wait for a few more years, but hey, it just wasn't working out now anyway, so I was more than happy for Joe when he lucked up on a good deal...his ol' 1992 Ford F150 was a major gas-guzzler, and a wee-bit outdated ;) so when he found a 2004 Toyota Tacoma 4-door, it was just what he had been looking for. After signing papers for it, we drove off to Burger King
to grab some lunch thru the drive-thru, then headed to Cumming, GA (about 60-90 minutes south of us) to visit
Keystone Kennel, where they breed the sweetest lil' minature dachshunds!
We looked at 2 simply adorable puppies, each 17 weeks old, and each reduced to $300, but especially since we just dropped some big bucks on the new truck, we couldn't justify spending that much on a doggie :( so maybe sometime in the future, who knows? We were rather late coming home, and not wanting to have to stop by the store to pick up some groceries and then still have to cook it ;) we drove to Steak 'n' Shake and had a delicious dinner! *YUM*
Today was just as busy....since
I'm not getting a vacation while Joe is *sigh*, we weren't going to be able to celebrate Leah's birthday
on Monday, July 11th (which is when she turns 9!), so we all went to Town Center Mall in Kennesaw, GA to the
Build-A-Bear Workshop today! I felt like a kid myself in there...it was the first time for all of us, and what fun!!!! Leah got the
"Mocha Bunny" with
4 outfits, including PJ's ;) and Camryn got the
"Floppy Kitty", with an outfit, PJ's, and even
ice cream! It was so much fun to see the sparkle in their eyes when they got to pick out their favs, and actually help stuff them and 'bath' them, then pick out cutesie clothes! Then the girls thought it would be fun to go up & down the escalators *ROFLMBO* and our last stop at the mall was the Sweet Factory, where we spent *GULP* $15 on less than a pound & a half of assorted candies! *ACK*
Well, seeing as how we hadn't blown enough money yet (yeah, right!) we headed to my FAV.....Olive Garden! *swoon* But since I'm on those Green Tea gelcaps and have noticed a significant drop in my appetite, I only had an appetizer instead of an entree, and a bit of salad and 2 bread sticks....I mean, come on, those things are darn good, I could usually eat a whole basket of 'em! LOL! While we were eatting, Joe's dad called my cellphone to ask if we could come by and let Joe fix a leak in his roof. Keep in mind it was pouring rain, and the area was under a tornado watch!!
so I was inside freaking out about him being on the roof the whole time we were there! Everything went fine, though, and then we finally got to come home & crash! Speaking of, I REALLY have to get in bed, seeing as how it's now 1:30 am, and I have work tomorrow! *waaah*
, and big huggles!
