Internet ADD

I got on the computer to start writing a blog post.  Here is all the things I have done so far instead of writing the original post:

On top of playing with Addy, changing her diaper, switching out her toys, distracting her from this or that I:

Looked up ornaments on Etsy.
Looked up ornaments on Pinterest (I like making my own ornaments, and I have hopes of selling them in the future).
Manger silhouettes on Google
Cupcake ornaments on Pinterest.
Cupcake theme birthday on Pinterest (Addy's birthday is only 6 months away).
Cupcake Cakes on Pinterest.
Check Facebook.
1st birthday party on Pinterest.
Baby showers on Pinterest. (I am co-hosting one in January)
About to message people on Facebook about the baby shower.
Wrote this post instead.

Snowman Fridge.

I saw it all over Pinterest, so I copied.

Everything is made from construction paper I had on hand, and a roll of magnet tape from Hobby Lobby with a coupon. Less than $1.90 spent. HUGE impact.  You can't help but notice a giant snowman (possibly snowwoman) in the kitchen. I love him! Or her.

Do you have any simple, but big statement Winter/Christmas/Holiday decorations?

Today I am Thankful for Pretty Much Everything

I am thankful that my life has been so awesome and busy the last month, I did not get to write about all the things I am thankful for this month.

That's my excuse for not following through, and I am sticking to it!



Since I seem to not be able to get around to posting long thought out blog posts for now, and I definitely know I will not keep up in December, I am going back to just short posts. Hopefully this will mean more posts, so that if I get any followers, there will be something to follow.

I am Thankful for Leighla

Many a Facebook friends write something that they are thankful for each day of November, and I jumped on the bandwagon this year. Then I thought, hey, why not blog about it as well?
So here ya go. The long version of my Facebook posts :).

"Day 3:  I am thankful that Leighla listened to me today when I said, 'Leighla, please pick your toy up, and get it out of the hallway.'"

This is Leighla: 

 Leighla is our Australian cattle dog. Her name is pronounced Lee-luh, like the character from Futurama, just spelled different.

 This is from when we first got her. Sorry her head is blurry, she did not stay still very often in the puppy days..

Another picture from her first year of life:

  This dog has more personality than many people I know. She loves attention, and not afraid to do anything to get it. She gets very jealous of anyone, human or animal, getting more attention than her.

  She also loves to wear this fluffy collar with jingle bells around it at Christmas.. As you can tell she's now very big.

 There is no one in this world she loves more than her daddy.

 She loves to chew toys. She is pretty good at catching a Frisbee.

 

 Leighla does not always listen. She barks at nothing and everything. She can be quite obnoxious and aggravating. She has a terrible habit of licking poor Addy in the face (which we are working on).

However, she is smart, sweet, and loves us. It made me smile when she grabbed her toy after I asked her to. She also dropped it in the living room! Completely unexpected. I love her like family. As I do all my animals (hint of future posts).

 In another post on another day, I will explain how we got the cute little puppy. The first time I ever cussed out my husband. And hung up on him. Twice. We got through it, obviously.

 

I am Thankful for a Husband Who Runs Errands With Me.

Many a Facebook friends write something that they are thankful for each day of November, and I jumped on the bandwagon this year. Then I thought, hey, why not blog about it as well?
So here ya go. The long version of my Facebook posts :).


"Day 2: I'm thankful my husband went with me to run some errands this evening."

***I revised this post the morning after writing it. If you saw the orginal post, you saw a rude version of me, justifiable or not. After giving it some thought, I feel it is not fair to the person I was being rude about. I would not post the things I said if this person had internet and read my blog. So, to be fair, I am revising this post. :)

I had to take a family member who does not drive to the store. My most hated store at that. I was bitchy all day, and dreading the task. My husband lovingly went with Addy and I to help a family member out. Bless him!
