Happy Last Day of the Month!!

Hey! How was your weekend.. mine was.. well.. not as I expected but that's what life is all about... sadly.. Kevins kitty Phenelope (that's pronounced 'fenelope') had severe liver damage and he had to make the very tough decision to put his little girl down... I really don't know what else to say..she's been in his life for 11 years... it had to be the toughest thing one person can do besides anything involving their children.. and our pets become like our children.. so it feels like the same thing.. I wish I knew what to say to make him feel better.. but I know he has to go thru the grieving process as it happens.. Whew.. feeling the experience for Kevin made me feel so whew..emotional when thinking about my Pez girl... sigh..

Let's just say it was a very emotional weekend from start to finish... starting with the mishap with my eyebrow which.. I feel a little better about..

ok.. onto 3 things 2 things

3 things that make me happy:
1. YEA! My place is really coming together and I am really really really liking the way it feels..!! I dance little happy dances when I walk around... seeing it all come together.. the curtains... the little kitchen baskets and circle mirror mobile that Kevin hung for me this weekend (thanks honey) and as of last nite I made headway into my bedroom... and can actually walk around now.. !!!
2. MY GIRL DAVINA HAD A LITTLE GIRL!!! wow.. so amazing.. Saturday nite.. Her name is Tai Dalane Gillum... YEA!!! Congratulations Davina... I can't wait to meet her.. and to see how Davina is doing!!!
3. After MANY hours talking to the people from Tivo.. going to Best Buy and buying all this stuff that I was told was going to be the connection the Tivo Box makes to get updated programming... My TIVO IS WORKING!!! AND... I came to find out that I can use my internet phone to make the call to get the programming (Tivo originally said it wouldn't work!! BUT IT DID!!) if you don't understand this.. that's ok... just know ITS WORKING and i can return the 70 dollars worth of parts I thought was going to make it work! YEA! SO... I can go to Iowa and it will tape all my shows.. no problem!

2 things I am looking forward to today:
1. Seeing if I will be getting the Drawing to the 80+station job that i'm soon to work on.. I am excited to get a job that I can work on for over a week. (up to this point i've had smaller jobs.. this will be my first big one) AND... I was told on Friday that we won the bid for a 180 station job that i started! SO.. I'll be a busy bee when I get back from Iowa and that is FINE with me!
2. 82 Degrees today!!! WOO HOO!! I think this calls for eating lunch outside!!!

2 long term things I am looking forward to:
1. Maybe putting up Flower boxes in my windows again?
2. I'm excited about going to Savannah for Memorial Day.. getting out of Dodge..

1 person I am going to appreciate:
Kevin... again. I know that when the day comes that Pez leaves me physically... I will be a mess (ok just thinking of it makes me cry.. right now) that I am proud of Kevin for accepting his feelings of sadness.. but being ok with the fact the she had a long life.. It takes strength...

Ok.. I really do have to boogy...
Love to you all..... This upcoming Saturday Kevin and I leave for IOWA for a week!! EEK!!!
I'm nervous!
