Study...or clean....or straighten....or study....or write a blog. AHHHH!

ADHD you are killing me. I have 15 million things to do and on top of that i need to study...and on top of that i want to write a blog. For real?

Here is an update of my life:

Paul (my brother)- graduated from Dental School last weekend.

Then Tiberius got sick and we spent the weekend at the Emergency Vet
Friday he started drooling a lot and threw up. He was febrile to 104. Our regular vet took x-rays and said it looked "strange" and sent us to the Emergency Vet. Where they initially thought he had pancreatitis....but then got an ultrasound (and a bad shave job) and it appears my poor, intact bloodhound, has an abscess of his prostate. And was promptly placed in the ICU for 24 hours, given fluids and antibiotics.

The cure? Neutering. I am NOT excited about that one. I don't think he is either!!!!

Then we went back to the Emergency Vet again yesterday. For this little one.

This time our German Shepherd Leia caught a bird and was using it as a chew toy. Poor bird had a broken wing. Back to the Emergency Vet.....we are becoming regulars there!
She (or he) is fine by the way. The Emergency Vet clinic took her and is mending her broken wing. And through this ordeal, Taylor decided she wanted to be a Vet....and asked if her grades in 10th grade counted if her 11th and 12th grade scores were better. I was also told last night by Liz that Missouri has a great vet school.......lol.

And last but not least, the house is officially on the market!!

No, not on the market yet....but here is a preview!!!

This is my house. Located in a cute neighborhood on James Island (off of Harborview Road). It is close to downtown, the beach, and is in a good school district (Stiles Point Elementary is a great school!).

Unfortunately, it is time to move on. There have been some great memories in the house (and some not so great) but I am ready to start a new chapter in my life- so out with the old and in with the new.

House purchased in 2008. Since then, LOTS of upgrades, remodeling, landscaping, and fresh paint!

<-PS- i put this mulch and stone down all by myself!!!

Backyard with pool (chlorinated), hot tub, banana trees, peach tree, and a pergola with lanterns and strand lights (perfect for an evening party). Also there is a side fenced in yard perfect for pets!

<-- there is a nice porch off the master bedroom on the 2nd floor. We have a table and chairs up there, and often have breakfast there. Taylor also likes to sit out there and read/write

There is also a screened in porch perfect for dinners on cool summer nights.

Peach tree blooming (yes, we eat the peaches if the squirrels don't get them 1st)

Downstairs there is a newly remodeled kitchen (25k in upgrades) in the Fall of 2011. New appliances. Travertine stone backsplash and granite counter tops and eat in bar area.

My favorite light in the whole entire world!!!

This is the eat-in area, connecting a small room to the kitchen. There use to be a wall, so both rooms were really small. When we remodeled, we knocked down the wall and opened up the kitchen, put the eat-in bar up, and really opened up the space. It is perfect for hosting!

Also, check out my oyster shell mirror (that i made!!!)

Downstairs there is also a dinning room, living room, family room, full bath, and laundry room.
Pictures to come.......

Upstairs- 3 bedrooms and 2 full bath

Master bedroom

Pictures of the other two bedrooms- both can fit queen size beds and have a sizeable closet.

In total:
0.29 acres
2000 square feet + one car garage and attic space above house and garage
All rooms and hallways with fresh paint!
Newly remodeled kitchen with 25k of upgrades! Dinning room, family room, living room and laundry room on the 1st floor.
2nd floor has 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths
Beautiful backyard with pool and hot tub, lush tropical plants- perfect oasis!

Contact me for price and feel free to pass this along to anyone that is looking for a new house!
Thanks!

It's been a while....

Yes, i am alive. Yes, i still have stuff to say but haven't.....but of course i still think it....in my brain.....where you can't hear it.....and oh boy! I have a lot on my mind....but have been keeping it to myself. Sorry. :)

My last post was March 30th (the one with the creepy bunnies that even terrified me). It is April 30th and i haven't even thought about writing a blog. Or had time to.
Ok, both of those two things are lies. But when i sat down at my computer over the past month, it was to do other things (emails, bills, work, eBay searches). And i was kinda busy with work, job searching, painting the house and getting ready for it to sell, having family stay with us, celebrating Ava's 2nd birthday and THEN having another neice born, and taking an unexpected trip. So....... yeah, busy with life. And since i have been told that i am "too personal" and am an "over-sharrer," i won't go into specific details of the past month....just generalizations....in the form of pictures.

Ava's Birthday- I CANNOT believe she is 2!

I feel like it was yesterday that this picture was taken

And now......soooo big! :)

Eating my PB&J "sushi" rolls

Cake

Auntie "Wawa" gets some too!

And thank goodness Ava's birthday celebration and actual birthday wasn't spoiled by the arrival of this little bundle. I have to give props to Erika for being such a trooper and quickly and effortlessly delivering this cutie.
My 2nd neice- Mya Cameron Lambert, born April 15, 2013

And here is my brother Paul, his wife Erika, Ava (my fav), and Mya. Such a cute family! <3

Visitors
Yes, our house has been a hotel (but even better....and i love it!!!) for some of Brett's family. Oh- and Drea was going to come and spend the weekend with me but....plans change. And again, i am saying in internet world, that i am sorry and love you, and we will have to try again. <3

Tiberius and his new BFF, Bruce

Yep, totally replaced. Tiberius will only sleep with Bruce now.

Until Liz came.....and Ti loved her just as much!

AND I must be under a rock, but how did it take me this long to find out about MAC lipglass- in the color Nymph.
AMAZING!

Ok, now this video is 10 minutes but it goes by fast and is great!
What were YOU doing in 1999???

Alright my favorite acabitches (yes, i am watching Pitch Perfect again)- hope y'all have a fabulous night and have enjoyed my post (that i am sure you have been waiting for with baited breath!!!)
