Caturday 12/22/18:Target Lovers!

The girls LOVE bags! Today I got a paper bag from Target. They had sooo much fun!

Caturday!

I’m back!! 

Here’s a cute photo of Scully. She’s a good self entertainer. She “found” a straw wrapper to play with. 

For 2.2 second, AJ laid like this. I died laughing!!! 

Vegas!!

I’m trying to get a little caught up since I’ve been such a bad blogger. Last month, Jeff and I went to Vegas. He had a conference and I got to tag along. That was fun! 

The sunset was gorgeous !!

The Eiffel Tower at night 

And Lady with the WNBA Jersey! 

The Belliago fountains 

So much shopping!!!!

We spent one morning at the Flamingo pool. It was nice!

I also went to one of the hotels that had a flower museum. Very cool! 

Oreo and the Cat

Oreo and AJ have started to be better friends. He doesn’t get aggressive around her. He likes laying by her and even licks her when he thinks he can get away with it! 

He really wants her to love and play with him. 

Caturday 8/11/18

The girls are enjoying some time on the deck. They love to explore and I’ve gotten Scully to sit still and let me brush her. 

Caturday! 5/19/18

The girls have been busy watching birds in the backyard and the ongoings in the front yard. 

And then when I worked on picking up the guest room, I had snoopervisor help. And yes, this pillow is only half supported by something 

Last Day of School!!!

Today, L has a half day of school and then she’s DONE! 7th grade was better than 6th, but I’m hopeful next year will be better than this year. 

The Friday before the end of school, I was able to get done seeing patients in the morning so I was able to bring L lunch.  She was so excited!!! 

I got to visit with a couple of her friends while we had lunch. It was fun!!

Metal Monday: OKC 1/2 recap

April 29, 2018 OKC 1/2 Marathon. It was the first time the whole tribe has gotten together in awhile. Pre race photos! 

My goal was to PR the course. My best time had been 2:46 

The course was good. And tough. I ran by myself. I clicked along good until mile 10, then I started to get tired. But my jam song came on and I was good to go for the last three miles! 

And I did it!!! My official time was 2:39:55!! Beat my PR by 6.5 minutes! 

I was so happy with my splits! 

Reward: Fuzzy’s Taco shop. So yummy! (And they have one inWichita too!!)

Happy Mother’s Day!!

Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and Grandma! Mom-thank you for listening to my long winded stories and complaints and always being there for me. I am so grateful for you!!! 

And because my mom adores the “girls” here’s a couple photos: 

Apparently they love sinks! 

Caturday! All About Scully!

For some reason, Scully got in lots of photos. She was busy being a dork this week. L was sick with the flu and home from school all week so the girls did an EXCELLENT job of taking care of her. They love to lay on her, follow her around to make sure she’s ok...

Scully (and AJ) think the wreath is a perfect sleeping place. 

“Mama!! My mama is home! I must sit on her clothes so she doesn’t leave me again!”


L had lots of homework so I picked it up from school yesterday. Scully is happy to help!! 

Caturday Edition: 3/17/18-A Whole New World

This week has been warm so I opened the front door and pulled the screen up. This is the first time Scully has experienced it. Although she gets to look out the back, this was a whole new world! She was so excited!! 

And in case you were wondering, she still has her twist tie! I had no idea where it was but suddenly it appeared! 

Caturday 3/10/18

Let’s see what’s going on in Scully and AJ land!

The girls continue to come downstairs all the time. The pups are not thrilled but being polite.  

This girl is so fluffy!!

L and Scully are working on homework. She is so chill with Lauryn. 


That’s about it for the week!

Caturday 3/3/18-what’s new!

So there’s a lot of new going on in our house! Too many photos for one post so I’ll break it down. 

Scully has been coming downstairs for a few months. AJ has finally broken down her walls and started exploring when the dogs are in the house! 

Here she sits in the evening. Everyone is ok-she’s happy, Oreo isn’t miffed...

...until she comes up in his face. Then he starts shivering!   This has been going on for a couple weeks and now everyone does pretty well. 

Lucy doesn’t seem to mind any of it. Oreo got tired of AJ walking in front of him multiple times so last night he gave her a gentle bite on the tail. Pissed AJ off, but then they were fine lol! 

Stupid Strep

I didn’t feel good Sunday evening. Chills, congestion...even after ibuprofen.  So I called in sick-easier to reschedule patients. My boss called and wanted me to see my PCP to get tested for flu. So I called early Monday, got in and got swabbed for flu (OMGerd disgusting) and strep (for good measure-my tonsils were swollen). Negative for flu but POSITIVE for strep. 

She has known me for two decades so her first words were: no work tomorrow either. She knows I do better if she sets boundaries for me. I went home, cried (I Hate being sick), took a nap (my sleep has been awful for a couple days...another indication something was wrong). My nursemaid was right there with me:

I got started on antibiotics and rested. I did get permission to run my mile IF it was super slow and indoors on my treadmill. I obliged. I’d really like to make it to day 1000. 

Today-more rest (I didn’t take a photo of AJ...it looked similar to yesterday). Scully was off plotting how to piss the dogs off, I’m sure. I’m feeling better. Worn out but my throat is better. 

Caturday 2/3/18

Life has been busy. Today was no exception. I ran 8 miles, cleaned the entire house and did laundry I am whooped. I’m making red beans and rice in the instapot so I have some time to post. 

Today started off with breakfast for the girls and then they did some backyard observations before they broke out into WWF. They play fight all the time. It’s quite funny! 

Scully was trying to see if I was doing anything cool. She decided no. 

This afternoon, Jeff was putting in a new gate for the stairs. The girls were right there to make sure he did it right. 

Running Stuff and Salt on the Rocks

It’s a new year for running. I have a couple goals. One is to run faster.  I really want to PR in the 1/2 marathon. To do that, I need to lose some weight. I’m working on it-making my portions smaller. Not giving in to crap food. I’m a work in progress. 

I also want to run another full marathon. I don’t like the long runs for training but I had so much fun running in Dallas. And maybe I’ll be faster and the long runs won’t take as long. 

Recapping Salt on the Rocks. It’s a 1/2 marathon in Hutch in Sept. I was ready to PR it. But then race day came and it was so hot and humid. And I fell apart at mile 9. Like full fledge panic attack. I got it together around mile 11 and hobbled in. Worse half for me. 

Caturday: 1/20/18

I didn’t take many photos of the girls this week. They’ve been good. I cleaned off L’s bench in her room, laid out a couple blankets and when I went back 20 minutes later, they were both sitting on the bench. It was pretty cute! 

AJ has been snuggly this week. She climbed up in my lap earlier this week. 

I’ve had a cold for the past three days and she took a nap with me (on my head) today. It was nice! 

Scully decided the paper was a good place to sit. Silly girl!

Gotcha Day:AJ

Two years ago today, we brought AJ home. She was a little thing. Curious and scared at the same time. She’s grown into a beautiful girl! She was lonely and we brought Scully home. She wasn’t sure what to think of that... but soon grew to love her. She loves to play laser lights. Every. Night. She sprints upstairs so we can play. She loves to sit on L’s head while she’s sleeping and once in awhile, she comes to snuggle with me. 

We are so glad we Got her!!
