Tonight Mike and I drove out to BFE (Estacada, Oregon) to look at some puppies.  Mike decided for my birthday, I should get a puppy.. I’ve wanted a boxer for years and years and now we finally get one!  He’s almost 8 weeks old, but we’re not going to pick him up until he’s 10 weeks old.  But I gave the lady a check and we’ll go get him on June 7th!  He’s oh so cute.  The lady has named him “patches” for now.. but I’m sure we’ll pick a new name He’s the puppy on the left in the picture, the one with the patch around his eye

I can’t wait to bring him home!  We’re very excited.  I even went and bought “Boxers for Dummies” today and will read it front and back a few times before getting him!

Okay so we didn’t go to a show.. But we did do some work on our yard, garden and patio this weekend!

Started on Saturday morning with a trip to Lowes:

Left there and it was raining a lot.. Mike got home from helping Jim out at his house and we needed to go BACK to Lowes.. So off we went.

Came home and started tearing up a corner of the yard to put the garden.  That was a feat in and of itself, since all of our soil for the first foot down is chock full of pebbles and below that is very full of clay.. Lovely ‘eh?  So the odds of our garden flourishing are NOT in our favor.  Oh well!

After a couple of hours of digging in the dirt and moving it around, laying some top soil, mulch, etc.. We have a garden!

Sunday we got up and Mike mowed the lawn.. Then it was BACK to Lowes to buy a grill!

As you can see, we needed one badly, as this is our old grill.. ugh

That was our weekend.. Now we’re exhausted and just want to sleep, and eat food off of our grill

This last weekend was absolutely fantastic..

Friday after work Mike and I went to Beer and Blog at The Green Dragon for a little bit.  I had to leave at 5:20 to go to Dosha to get my hair done.

How does it look?

Saturday we got up and had to go back out to The Green Dragon so he could get his debit card he left the night before and grab some lunch.  I had already eaten a decent sized breakfast so I just had some crepes w/ rasberry jam and nutella (OHMYGOD so yum) and Mike had a cajun meatloaf sandwich (YUCK).  After lunch we headed back towards our house stopping at Target to get presents for Jim’s oldest daughter Hannah’s birthday.  We got her some cute pink and brown plaid shorts with a pink tshirt and a brown tshirt.  Also got her 2 books.  Headed to Jim and Rebeccas house for Hannahs birthday party.  She’s 9, wow, that makes ME feel old.  We hung out at their house all night, having dinner, playing games and watching The Mist and oh my gosh, it was great.  If you like “scary” (not gory horror, but suspenseful, wtf type movies) movies you need to see this movie asap.

After watching The Mist we headed home having borrowed Once curled up on the couch and watched that.  If you haven’t seen it, SEE IT NOW.  Go, leave your house right now go to Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, The Red Box, whatever.. and rent Once.. See it. It’s good.. The soundtrack is awesome too.

Sunday we got up and cleaned house. ughhh.. Hate cleaning :D We were having some friends over to have dinner and play games, so we had to get the house presentable Martin & Lia and Alex & Kim came over and we all had a great time.  Played a few games, ate dinner and hung out.

Monday I went to the podiatrist to get my toe looked at.  I’ve been nursing an Ingrown Toenail for a couple of months so it was getting to the point that it hurt more often than not, so off to the doctor I went.  The doctor and I discussed my options and we decided since this was the 2nd time I’ve had one in this toe in the last few years, it was time to fix it permanently.  I made an appointment to go back today to have that done and headed to work.

Today I got up and back to the podiatrist to get the toe fixed.  The doctor is a really nice guy and he explained in great (I mean GREAT) detail exactly what he was going to do, then did it.  OKay so it wasn’t that simple.  It took him about 45 minutes to get the damn thing numb enough to do the rest of the procedure and that part hurt a LOT.  :( Once it was all done and overwith everything was pretty numb so I was on my way back to work.  However, some asshat in the parking lot parked *SO* close to me, I had to climb in my passenger door.  I was not pleased about that at all.  Especially since this moron that parked so close had a handicapped permit hanging from their window!  This hospital will do free valet parking for handicapped people! And I was parked about as far away from the entrance as I could, because the parking spots are SO tight at this hospital, I was trying to avoid what had happened.  Grr, I was not happy. 

This weekend the weather is supposed to be nice, lets hope it is as I’m heading to the beach for the day on Saturday
