Various Thoughts! part 1

Notice the new look to the blog! I discovered some seasonal designs. So I decided to change things up a bit. Since autumn officially began this past week this design is fitting.

I have spent the day preparing for my mom to visit, it was an afternoon of cleaning. The pugs have spent the day wondering what the heck is going on. Why so much cleaning and organizing? Cody is hilarious when you get the vacuum out. When it's first turned on he acts as though he's ready to take it on if it wants to do battle with him. Then he runs off at full speed when it moves.
Lol! Simon stays rather close by and just watches. Observing every move of the vacuum.

I haven't seen my mom in a year! Can you believe it? We talk frequently on the phone but we haven't actually seen one another face to face in a year. I'm refusing to get stressed out about the little things. No need to stress like I have in the past. If I can't find time to get her fave soda in the house before she arrives so be it....we can go to the store after she arrives. No biggie!!!

I had the Texas game on in the background this afternoon. It's nice to see a PAC 10 school playing on TV here. When you no longer live in a PAC 10 state then any PAC 10 team is extra appealing to watch. However, I'll admit I kept hoping Texas would come back. I said I like to see PAC 10 football it doesn't necessarily mean I want them to defeat any Texas team. LOL!!!! There's only one team I would root for over a Texas team. Hmm, I wonder which team that is?

My birthday is just days away, for some reason it doesn't feel like my b-day is so near. However, I'm dreaming about the birthday cake. I love cake! That's no secret. I look forward to birthday cake every year. Last year I had a cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory, this year it's going to be a surprise. We'll see!

Now for some Cowboys talk....they have to win. This is it! Likely the make or break game of their season. As my boyfriend said if they don't win it's going to be hard to live in big D the next couple of weeks. The media here is extremely critical of the home team. Something that surprised me when I arrived here! So the Cowboys must win because going into the bye week with zero wins is going to start a firestorm. Go Cowboys beat Houston!!!!!!

To my mom....have a good trip to big D. We are all looking forward to seeing you. If I don't talk to you tomorrow know that I will see you on Monday in baggage claim! Welcome to Dallas!!!!
