Baseball, My Men, and Invitations!

We're sitting here watching the World Series.  We aren't extremely interested in it but we'll keep up.  We're both more for Boston than St. Louis.  Nothing against St. Louis but they've won the pennant more recently than Boston. The Mavs are playing too so we'll be switching back and forth. 

It's been an interesting week so far.  Two of my three men have had some sort of an issue.  Brad has been struggling with a back injury.  I've been doing my best to take care of him.  Not sure I've done enough, but I sure have tried.  He's not the type to sit around too much though. I wish he'd just fully rest and dare I say it........use the HEATING PAD!  Bad boy!  Today Simon has been sick too.  Man, what a mess he's been!  Poor little Boo-Boo!

Note to Cody....LOOK OUT!  Don't step in a pothole. Don't get stung by a bee or wasp.  Don't sit on an ant hill.  Don't eat anything you know might make you sick.  Just stay clear of as much as possible!  You are the only man in this household that hasn't had an issue this week!  Keep it up, please!

As I briefly mentioned in a previous post, I'm hosting a baby shower in early November.  I finally got the invitations out today!  Geez!  I had so many issues trying to get those invitations done.  The actual invitation wasn't the problem.  It was the fact that I wanted to add a few things.  First I wanted to add a special "guest information" card that gave precise directions to get into our mid-rise apartment complex.  This is not an easy building to get into nor is it an easy apartment once inside the building to find.  I bought card stock, which is the card material they print greeting cards on, I wanted the guest info card to be durable not flimsy.  Well the card stock jammed my printer every time I tried to use it.  Then I wanted to make some cute return address labels to match with the baby shower.  I bought a program to do those labels.  But the program didn't match up with the type of labels I bought.  For anyone that has ever made their own return address labels most programs do an "autofill".  You only enter your address info once and all other labels are automatically filled in with that info.  The program I bought doesn't work like that.  I had to cut and paste from label to label.  Do you know how long that took for a sheet of labels?  TOO LONG! Then the labels as I mentioned before would not line up properly in my printer.  So it was a huge waste of time.  I felt so good today when I handed those invitations in at the post office.  What a relief! Those invites are out!  Did you know you aren't supposed to put invitations in the regular mailbox?  I learned that back at the time of our wedding.  Invitations of any kind are to be turned into a postal worker directly not put in a box. Interesting, huh?


Side Note:  As I mentioned in the previous post, I've been concerned about Simon's eyesight since he hasn't been eating the acorns.  Well I'm no longer too concerned about that.  I have seen him notice acorns then simply turn up his nose at them.  He's not an acorn loving dog anymore!
