I am no fashion expert BUT...

I think Jenna's Bush's wedding dress looks like an old chenille bedspread. I know it costs thousands and its an Oscar de laurenta (however you spell that) but its just fugly. Maybe it looked better in person than in the pics, my invite must have gotten lost in the mail.






Mariah Carey, the queen of tacky revealing clothes looks fantastic in her wedding dress. Sure Mariah can pull off almost any look with her body but her dress was understated and breathtaking. Dare I even say she looked Classy for a change?? People mag must have paid a bunch for the wedding pics cuz this is the only one I could find. My invite didn't come for her wedding either. Whats up with my mail???

• Stuffgirl still says she is coming next week!! I am giddy with excitement, I miss that brat so much. The son is not coming and stammered out all kinds of excuses but really i am just so happy to have one my kids for a week its all ok.

Mothers day 2008

I had a great day yesterday, I was lucky that hubby was off and we went out to breakfast and then we went to the South Carolina Botanical Gardens and strolled around for a while. I have been wanting to go there for so long but with my mobility issues I didnt know if would be able to walk it, but they have lots of benches and places to rest so I was able to walk for a while without my walker. It was chilly and drizzling but it was still so pretty and peaceful.

This is looking into the pond, you can a HUGE koy and a turtle and I love the reflections in this pic.

If you look close you can see the Canadian in there. I don't know what they call this arched walkway but wouldn't it be pretty for a wedding?? LOL.

Some of the plants along the path. We didn't make it to the flower gardens, will go there next time. We plan to go more often now that we know what its like.

Both my kids called me yesterday and yes stuff girl is still planning on coming next week! She had hoped to come Sunday but there is a mandatory thing at KD (Kings Dominion) where she is a manager so she is coming on Monday now. Suits me ok, I have to work Monday but am taking Tuesday-Thursday off.

Speaking of moms, my mom is so pitiful. I never in life thought she would be so sad so depressed. The doctor is starting her on lexipro, I hope it helps. She is so lonely. I wish she had made more friends but her whole life was dad and with him gone she is just going downhill. I feel so helpless being so far away. I am going up there for a week in June, she is really looking forward to it

Thats all from here, Hope every mom had a great day yesterday!

Snowbirds!

I always try to remember to take my camera when hubby and I go bike riding, but I don't always remember. I am so glad I did remember this past week though to get this shot. I found out they were the Snowbirds, the Canadian Forces precision flying team. They were awesome!! When they first flew over us I thought something was wrong with the bike they were so loud! We stopped at a parking lot and watched for a while. Thats what is so much fun about little unexpected trips, you never know what you will see.

I have lost weight in my fingers!!! Last year I took my rings in and them made bigger, and now with my weight loss They are way too big!! I mean really, who loses and gains weight in their fingers? Maybe the high blood sugar was making them swell and now thats under control they are back to normal. I don't know whether to have them cut smaller or wait and see what my freaky fingers will do next but I don't wanna lose my wedding rings!

I am really enjoying twitter! Since I cant blog at work and most work days I am too tired to do alot of visiting I keep up with peeps through texting.

Stuffgirl still says she is coming although she may have to get here on Monday instead of Sunday. I'll take any time I can get with her. I plan on lots of mother daughter time :):):)

see more dog pictures

No title today, I'm blocked or something LOL

Went the the ear nose and throat doc yesterday for my dizzy spells. He says its "positional" vertigo, which makes sense because I move my head a certain way to bring on the spells. He gave me exercises to try (my bad I haven't yet lo) and a cortisone shot. He feels like its allergies bringing on the pressure in my inner ear and if so the shot will help. Too soon to see but my dizziness wasn't as bad last night.

And just to make my allergies worse i talked hubby into riding the bike yesterday, it was gorgeous here and we hadn't had any time to ride with him working so much. Plus, I never see him in the summer, he is always in his "man cave" aka the basement with all his tools and woodworking machines. He has made 2 more shelves. I really want him to get the trash compactor installed just because its so big and its sitting in front of the trash can now so I have no where to put trash where dogs cant get to it.

stuffgirl still is saying she is coming :) woohooo. she has a week to back out still though. Like I said I will believe it when she gets here. Gotta get in and work on her room, its a junk room and a real mess right now.

No reason for that pic i just thought it was adorable!

Everything old is new again

Well as you can see I reverted back to my old template. I know I know I am so challanged in this area! I didn't like the choices they have, I did find template I really love but couldn't get it to work. I am sure its just me LOL

I had to drive around running errands today and I passed several temperature signs and they were all different!! This disturbs me for some reason. One said 79, one said 80 one said 84. When I got home weather bug said it was 84. I am a stickler for the correct time and temp and I dont want to know a range of temps it might be I want the actual temp! Its a bit obsessive huh?

Hubby made a shelf for the new TV will post pictures later. Now you get pics of my dogs again :) As you can see there is no room for me on that couch. Its truly a dogs life at my house!

and now for something completely different...

As you can see I changed my blog. I have alot more i would like to do it. Where can i find the prettier layouts anyone??? I know they have them but could just find the boring ones.

Hubby worked 2 nights of overtime this week and then his 4 night shift is coming up. Needless to say I haven't been thrilled with him gone. I really like him home at nights.

i had to go to the doc today and i have a nasty bacterial infection. More drugs LOL. I thought i would post a picture of my weeks worth of pills all laid out in my organizer. I really like my pill organizer, at first it would take me an hour to put the pills in the right spots but now I have it down to a science lol. go me! haha.

I added twitter and I am on there as Melsmeaningless, if you have twitter well then please twitter me! I am hooked I can update from phone. How cool is technology??

I love my new TV in the bedroom!! its huge, I feel like my bedroom should be on an episode of Cribs! The trash compactor is here not not installed yet. Its way bigger than I thought it would be.

I am looking for that widget for weather that has the girl wearing different outfits according to the local weather. Anyone know what that is called??

Thats all for updates...see I am trying to be better at posting but I am still boring as hell!
