I'm Still Alive

Yes, I'm still here, just super busy (but aren't we all). Just need to watch my personal computer time at work because apparantely Big Brother is watching us. There were rumors that they are recording and monitoring our phone calls as well, but our computer people say that's not true. I think it is true, but what do I know?

Life is busy. Still plugging along on the weight loss thing. Kind of slacking in the exercise department the last week or so as I have had lots of mom's group stuff in the evenings. I'm not weighing myself, but my clothes are fitting better so that's a good thing.

Still not preggo which sucks the big one. Everyone in my mom's group is announcing that they are preggo or they are about to deliver. It's starting to piss me off. I actually cried last night at a moms group get together when one of them announced she is pregnant-and she's a friend of mine too. If I'm not this month, then Mike is getting tested, I don't care if he doesn't like it. I had bloodwork done in July which was normal, so the next step is to have him tested. He said let's try another month or 2, well it's 2 months, so step up big guy.

We had to surrender Duke at the end of July which was heartbreaking. 3 days later we adopted a wonderful lab/retriever mix named Dutchess. She is the best! She adores Paige and follows her wherever she goes. She has no manners and is a jumper, but we are working on that. She's about a year old and has the sweetest temperment, very mellow and laidback. We are keeping her in a crate during the day and meals, and she is going in there on her own now when she wants to be left alone.

I can't believe it's September already! I'm loving the cool weather. I thought it was supposed to be in the 70's today so I picked out a dress for Paige. Well she got up early and CRANKY and Mike had the oh so fun task of getting her dressed and off to the sitter's. He tried to convince her that it was too cool for a dress, but no dice. That girl would live in dresses if I let her. I'm sure she got cold, but she won't admit it.

We went to the Milwaukee zoo this past weekend which is about 3 hours away-it was awesome. I don't have the pix in photobucket yet, but I'll post them when I do. Here are a few recent ones:

I think I posted them on FFF but oh well. OK back to the grind.
