Saturday Ramblings

You know keeping this blog has become quite entertaining for me.  I now make sure I have my camera always handy so I can document what ever topic I think of.  Is it strange that I am constantly thinking of good blog topics??  Probably so.  But, this has become my hobby/past time when I am not feeding, burping, changing, or bathing little Gabe.  Through blog stalking- fellow bloggers know what I mean by that term- one blogs leads you to another, then another, etc.  I have stumbled across blogs that are so pretty!  Now I want a professional camera and want to become computer savvy so I can add all these cool things to my blog.
Until that day comes- I will just keep posting as usual- so enjoy my random photos as I attempt to make this more aesthetically pleasing.


For the past week (below) have been my best friends............. I can not get rid of this cold.  I am trying not to talk all day, so I can get my voice back.  Gabe, I'm sure is confused by my silence. 

In photo: Antibacterial hand soap (Wash your hands!), Cold and Flu Medicine, Chloraseptic Spray, and Cough Drops

Loving at the Moment : Chai Tea Latte

If you have never had one I really recommend!  Starbucks has great ones or Make your own:

Boil Water, Pour over Tea Bag- Let steep for several minutes, I add 2 spoons of sugar, drizzle honey in, and add a little bit of milk (I never measure anything).  It is very tasty and perfect for upcoming fall mornings.

I am dog sitting Sassy for the day.  Sassy is my child hood poodle who is around 13 years old now.  About 8 years ago, I woke up one morning to find her whining and attempting to move, but couldn't.  We ended up taking her to the vet, and somehow she had a broken vertebrae.  She was paralyzed from mid-way back down.  She had surgeries, acupuncture treatments, took meds, and nothing worked.  So we have had a handicapped dog ever since.  She has got along quite well.  She can't feel her back legs, so she just uses her front two to get her where she needs to go. (We even had a wheelchair for her at one point)  My parents have hardwood floors, so that helps her scoot easily.  She is getting old now though, and we have found her a couple of times turned on her back and she can't roll over....which is sad.  She is a really sweet dog and very in tune with your emotions.  I'm glad I get to hang out with her today.

and yes she has a diaper on, don't laugh- She and Gabe wear the same size :)
