No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn

I know it has been a while since I last posted, but this weekend was packed and something was wrong with the internet here. Friday, I went out with the girls to Sparkles. Yes...the skating rink. I had no idea so many middle school kids still hang out there. We decided to dress in 80's attire and I soon as I get the pics from Lauren Sherman Ware, I will post them. They should be pretty funny. None of the kids seemed to get it, but the parentals seemed to enjoy our outfits. The last time I went skating three years ago, I broke my arm. because of this I had a hard time getting into my skating groove. At least I didn't fall! Saturday I had an engagement party for Katie Watson to attend. It was great to see her for the first time in two years. Her fiance is very nice and they looked very happy. Good food catered by Williamson Brother's BBQ. Yesterday I went to a couples shower for Leigh Cofer and her man Jay Smith. It was very nice and again...good food and good drinks. I am all weddinged out! Now let the baby showers commence :) Jessica Nicula's is in a few weekends. This is Jessica and her hubby Chris standing in front of a pic of her lips. And a pic of Jessica about 5 1/2 months into the pregnancy.

Now the reason why I did not get any sleep last night: The DANG dog! She is a cute one, but apparently has a bit of an allergy problem. She proceeded to scratch and bite (loudly) ALL night. I finally kicked her out of the room at 5 am. I thought this would be the end of it, but noooooo. She sat outside the door and barked a few times. Then the barks were closer together in time followed by the howling. I couldn't deal with it so I let her back in. She sat on the floor and continued her allergy scratch/bite fest. When I finally started to doze off, she apparently decided she wanted on the bed. The bed is low to the ground and easy for her to jump onto, but for some reason she thought she needed to stand next to my head and whine profusely until I picked her up and put her on the bed. Things started back up at 8:30 which I was fine with since I needed to let her out and feed her. I was planning on going back to sleep, but she had other plans. I closed her out of my room thinking that now since it was morning she would find something else to do rather than howl outside my room. Boy was I wrong. I finally found some Benadryl and doped her up. She is currently laying on my foot snoring. Of course I am no longer tired...go figure! This is a pic of my friends dog, Pooh (left) and Francis at Christmas. Don't let her fool you with those sweet eyes...she is trouble;)
