Laurel - I'm telling them it's all your fault.  You shall be on the receiving end of the stink eyes!  o_O

My boring-ass nails from this weekend.

My boring-ass nails from this weekend.  I must really be in a nail funk.  LOL  I thought that since it was sunny I'd wear a holographic polish, but it's not playing nice with the sun.  It weirdly shows it's holo effect more indoors, which is pretty unusual.

Janet picked out my design for me.  I was just tired and not in the right frame of mind to be creative.  I had to have some help.  I already know what I'm wearing this weekend, but if I change my nails before then I'm gonna have to dig through my nails "to do" folder for inspiration.  This kind of sucks.  😕

Janet's nails from this weekend.

Janet's nails from this weekend.  She did the painting and clean-up and I did the stamping.  I really like her choice of color and stamps.  Mine were MUCH less creative.  I should have let her design my whole manicure.  She did pick out my stamp for me.  I was just having a brain-fart moment.  LOL

When I should be doing things I don't want to do...

When I should be doing things I don't want to do, letting my squirrel buddy out to exercise is always a good reason to neglect my chores.  Better to neglect my chores than him, right?

I've had a lovely evening with my Dumpy.  He played briefly, but I think he tired out pretty fast.  It IS kind of late.  Tired Dumpy = Lovey Dumpy.  Usually petting means it's wrestle time, but tonight I got in all kinds of lovvins.  Back scratches, neck scratches, lots of head and neck kisses.  He even laid down and rested on my leg for a moment.  Usually he's busy darting around at the speed of light, trying to peel my fingernails off and looking for things to chew and wrestle.  But tonight, he mellowed out after some wrestling and running, and it was just nice.  Reminded me of when he was a baby and always wanted to be right with me.  Before he could move so fast and I was all he knew.  Sometimes I miss that.  Hell, sometimes I miss that with Shadow, too.  Too bad they all grow up so fast.  😕

I just love my kids.  ALL of them.  ❤

I just don't want to do anything...

I just don't want to do anything that I'm supposed to be doing right now.  I'm so bad.  😛

Long day, but good.

Long day, but good.  Got up at 3 am to go with mom and Shadow to get my brother Cade and his cat Hannibal from the airport in Atlanta.  Thanks, Cassey, for taking us through Atlanta in your sweet new ride.  😃

Went back to Munford for a few, then headed home to take care of my ani-pals, then off to work I went.  I was drowsy, but got a lot done.  The busier I stayed the less I noticed that I was really sleepy.  LOL

After work, I went back to Munford for dinner and to visit and get my kid AND TO NAP.  LOL  I'm always crazy sleepy after I eat, so there was no way I was making it home without some sleep.  Shaun is awesome because he let my dogs out for me after work so I didn't have to go back to Anniston before Munford.  Yay for saving time and gas!

All in all, it's been a really good day.  I am beyond psyched to have my brother home.  Of course mom is, too, and Shadow REALLY is.  Cade always helped me with Shadow when he was a baby, so as stereotypically redneck and messed up as it might sound he was kind of my kid's first dad figure.  He means a lot to us and I just don't know if he really knows that.  I mean, I told him I was so excited to see him that I wanted to bash my head into his head, so I don't know how much more obvious I can get, but hey, I tried.  😃

Got my brother back today. FOR GOOD.
I am so EXCITE! 😃

For anyone who doesn't know, my brother has been in the Army for 8 years. He's survived two tours in Iraq and we are just glad to have him home. He's got some wear and tear from it all, but he's alive and well and I'm just so thankful for that. ❤

Giant ass fake ants in the Atlanta Airport. What is that ABOUT?!

I've never been happier...

I've never been happier to be suddenly awakened at 3 am. 😃
