Progression...

So I am having a little indecision on the hair it seems… I started here… then that got boring and the roots were showing, so I looked under my sink… and there it was… red! Sounded good, but I guess it wasn’t a permanent dye so it faded within days… and then I was still bored… so off to a new salon and a new look! But I still think I am going to try to match the roots and go a little darker once it stars growing a little… Unless someone has a better idea. Other than that, my life is not too exciting still. I am still working at least 50 hours a week, plus at least 10 at home each week. I finally sat down with my boss and it looks like I cam finally getting to expand my staff and hire another person! Also, he is going to revise my pay to be more competitive with the market and more in line with all of the added responsibility I have taken on the past year. So I will wait and see if that makes the job more tolerable. I did get a break last night. I went to see Wicked! at the theatre. Our seats were almost at the very top, but the production was amazing. The people directly behind us left at intermission making the rest even better (apparently they did not read the etiquette guidelines in the playbill). The music was fantastic and the set was pretty good too. Hopefully I converted the friends that went with me who had never been to a musical before! Now back to work…

On the road again...

I guess this is how to tell the fair is in town again...

Can I wear these shoes?

This weekend was a wedding weekend. On Saturday, two of my high school friends got married. Leah and I went together and took little S. It was good to see some people from the past and catch up. Then on Sunday, my friend from work who had a destination wedding held her reception. Good thing she lives close by because I don’t have much gas! And it is hard to find around here! That’s all for now – back to work tomorrow!

My mom has been really busy lately so I am filling in… Not much has been going on around here lately… walking, sleeping, eating, and chasing my orange octopus, eating ice cubes, sleeping, barking at the kids in the cul-de-sac… the usual. I had to go to the doctor a couple of weeks ago for my check up. Uncle Andy was really nice to me. He gave me treats and I got a pedicure! The nice ladies weighed me and I gained five pounds in the past year. But I don’t need to diet which is good because I really l like those treats. I had an infection on my chin from scratching so much, but the pills aren’t bad. Mom puts them in a spoon with peanut butter and then lets me lick the spoon. Yummy! I have been exhausted lately so I have found some new places to sleep… on my couch – but boy I look old with that grey hair! And the top of the stairs is good too! The step allows me to hang my head upside down – it is a lot more comfy than it looks! My other favorite spot is in front of the window and that’s where I am going right now… I’ll have my mom get back on track with this blog thing – after all it is pretty fun!

Exhausted

Sorry for the lag in blog world. Things are good here, but I am exhausted. And so is Moxie. The summer has been a whirlwind, between work, work, and work, there is not a lot left of me when I get home! I luckily still have had a few chances to get to the lake and relax, but other than that, I don’t have any exciting stories or pictures. Hopefully something good soon...

I cooked!

Yes I really made dinner. I found a recipe for stuffed pork tenderloin that looked really good. I changed it a little bit since I have to make do without some spices and no meat thermometer. It turned out pretty good though – surprised me since I never really eat pork! The potatoes were yummy too – Swiss Potatoes Au Gratin. Next on the list Parmesan Crusted Chicken…

June in a nutshell

So June went by pretty fast – I can’t believe it is already July. I started out the month when a surprise get-together for my birthday. I thought I was just eating sushi with my friend P, but then we went down the street and there were my friends! I went to two Braves games in June. For the first game, about 20 of us rode down to the game on a converted school bus. The second time, it was just two of us, so we rode the train down to avoid the construction in the perimeter. For my birthday, I decided to pack up and head to the beach. Five of us drove down in a mini-van and stayed for four days. I think it was a much needed break for all of us. We enjoyed the sun, some good fun, a little dancing. Only one casualty of the trip: my phone fell off the twelfth story balcony! Luckily I had insurance. I ended the month with a rafting trip on the Ocoee River with a group of 15. We also stayed and camped out afterwards in North GA. The rain held off until after the rafting, but the tents were a bit wet! And July is starting off with a bang – the summer flu! But hopefully recovery will come soon enough for this weekend!
