Catch-Up Time

It's been awhile so I have lots of catching up to do. First off, we took Mollie to the dog park last Saturday in the middle of the afternoon and we thought she had fun running around and swimming and whatnot, but when we got home we noticed that the pads of her front paws her peeling back. Of course the vet had just closed and to take her to the emergency clinic was going to be $100! We took her to PETCO and asked the groomers their opinion and they said since her paws weren't bleeding if we just put some antiseptic and bandaged them until we could get her in to see her vet. She was a trooper and only managed to slip out of her bandages a few times. When I got her in to see the vet she said that Mollie's paws probably blistered from the hot concrete, who knew? She was as good as new the next day, though I'll have to figure out when I can take her for walks and to play without her feet getting burned.

Wednesday, Matt finally had a day off and we used his birthday present from my parents to go see the Astros play the Cardinals. I really haven't gone downtown very much, but I really would like to go down there and just walk around and sightsee. Maybe one weekend soon. Anyways, the game was so exciting! The Astros tied it up in the 8th inning and then got the go ahead run in the bottom of the 9th to win the game! We had a great time and hopefully will get to go to another game before the season ends.

I'm still looking for a part-time job and after two weeks of not hearing back from anyone I finally got two call backs, one for Thursday at Michaels which I think went really well and now tomorrow one with Pier 1 so I may have a decision to make. Thursday, I drove up to Dallas, dropped Mollie off at the boarders and then drove to Lucas for a Scrapbooking Retreat. We stayed at a lady's house out in the "country" and she had it set up sort of like a bed&breakfast with an entire building set up with tables for scrapping. Her pool was absolutely gorgeous with a waterfall and grotto. All the pictures are on my mom's camera so I'll have to get those from her and post them later. My mom, aunt and my mom's friend Pat and I drove up on Thursday to go ahead and get our stuff set up. I got almost an entire album done, but was definitely getting tired of scrapbooking by Sunday. I think next time I'd take a second project to work on, like cards or gifts. If anyone is interested in coming to scrapbooking events just let me know because I got a little tired of being the only one under the age of forty. :)

Whew! Okay so that's the past week and a half in a nutshell.
Much love,
Lara
