"The Courage of Integrity"

The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity.

Choosing right over wrong, ethics over convenience, and truth over popularity...

these are the choices that measure your life.

Travel the path of integrity without looking back;

Sunday Night Concert

On sunday I thought that I was headed to a Christmas Concert! We arrived at the Beautiful Landmark Theatre and my "Jaw hit the Floor". It was absolutely geourgous. There was a 3 band line-up and it was not a Christmas concert. I saw Bethany Dillon, Sanctum Real (they rocked) and Steven Curtis Chapman! These are all Christian Artists and they were awesome. I loved the fact that Steven Curtis Chapman had his 2 boys on stage playing in his band. His 16 year old was incredable on the drums.....and his 18 year old played the base guitar. He was definately proud of them .

My Friend Iris is the one that took me with her to the concert. It was a great way to end a weekend of work.

Cute nephews...STOLE THESE...Thanks Cynthia

Who's the Boss?

" I'm the Boss"......

Joke of the day:)

Joke: What do you do if you're a doctor and a patient leaves the office and falls down dead?

Answer: Turn him around to make it look like he was walking into the office.

Shopping Spree with Stephen

This was fun tonight.

I had a blast and so did stephen.

We went to a TON of stores!

Express, American Eagle, Steve and Barrys, and DSW.

Here are some pictures of the "LIL Teen Model"

My nephew is staying for the weekend

Ill post pictures of him of course. He is going to take care of tacori while Im working. Were also hitting up the local mall to see what DEALS we can find. End of season clothes right now!
I went to pick up my new glasses "for seeing" and the crafstmanship was very poor. SO I refused them and I hope that they have it right tonight. I didn't know that you could get your glasses the same day you order them. I guess that they cut the lenses and not a machine. I have never had a pair of glasses that look liked the lens was miscut before. Anyways. Off to work. Love you all.

My New Chunckys

Yeah...I got these at 40% off because the sales associated misquoted me the discount price. Im very happy.....I've wanted a pair ever since Cynthia got some. They are really cool!!!

The Pugs DX

Here is an x-ray picture of what the problem is with Tacoris left hind leg. We have an Appointment at Cornell Veternary Hospital on Dec.3 to have an initial consult. Cant wait till she starts feeling better. She will be on "cage rest" for 8 weeks.....imagine me keeping her down for that long. Yeah, it will be tough. Apparently, Cornell is the best veterinary hospital around and they have 24 hour staff that care for the animals Post-Op. I'm wondering if dad will think its a good idea to go there.....seeing how he worked there for a while ....he would probably know?!?!

Guitar Hero the Trilogy continues

It is and has been my goal to get as many people as possible "hooked on" guitar hero. JUST KIDDING:) Anyways, this is my roommate and Mark(her boyfriend) they are finally attempting to play a "not so easy" game....huh Renee!? Whos laughing now?!! Kidding.
Everyone...Meet Renee.......She'll probably be pissed at me for posting this but "oh well" LOL



Lincoln....this is the girl that sent me that funny phone message with the little guy saying " Hello, this is your friend calling you....why are you not answering your phone???? silly

The Hair is back to normal...

A wopping $210.00 later......and I look like me again.


Please take this piece of advice from me and apply if ever faced with changinf your hair stylist. Dont ask a random stranger where they get there hair done and actually go to them! Well, the hair cut itself is good....but the highlighting turned me colors that were not to pretty. Here is my latest Hair....I call it the "back to normal look".....however, i did have a touch up of blonde alll over my head from my 1st visit to Shannon, the best Hair Stylist ever!

The Pugs new PINK sweater

I was in Target yesterday and found this cute sweater. I had to get it....LOL. It actually didn't bother her to wear it. I always thought that people who dressed there dogs were "completely ridiculous and stupid".....I guess I belong in that category now.

The Second attempt

WOW.

The essence of destiny

Watch your thoughts, for they become your words.

Study your habits, for they become your character.

Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.

The Hair cut looks good...but the highlights "not so much"

Tomorrow....I should be getting this fixed. Lets hope that everything turns out a lot more balances and less shocking.

Fun Times on Halloween

This is what partying with a candy corn and a cheerleader looks like!

We had a freaking Blast. Have to love hanging out with people that take life as seriously as you do. LOL

We had fun.

(Auntie YA YA's night out ...ended with a late night call to Joanna to discuss what time it actually was....and i was off by about four hours.
LOL- She still loves me. I'm her lil SIS.)

There's a NEW Veterinarian in Town

Tacori and I went to see a very nice veterinarian. Thanks to MOM....We now wont be spending $600 for x-rays. We have an appointment scheduled for November and we will finally have the answers that we are looking for. The New Vets cost for x-rays are under $100.oo and I could not be happier. I had been planning on purchasing another pug in the near future so that Tacori has a play friend in the day time. I can't do this right now....my roommate would probably leave.
Anyways. I was thankful that we finally met someone that is more reasonable in cost. I took the pug to Petsmart today and she got a new stuffed animal, a sweatshirt, and some really expensive chewsticks. But, my pugs gonna get what she wants because she is suffering and deserves to be spoiled.

I spoiled myself and bought some new plates, a lamp, and a rug for the kitchen. Tacori is sleeping on it!

The Puggy is Sick

very rough night for the pug and me. 3 episodes of puking throughout the night for the poor little pug. I started her antibiotic last night and then she started hacking at 0130 this morning. It finally stopped at about 0530. I have to restart her medication at 830 tonight and seee how she does. I would like to sleep tonight. I hope that she does well. She has been sleeping all day. I hope that she does not have an infection brewing.

VERY BAD "PUGGY NEWS"

WARNING:
If you at any point in time want to take your pet to a veterinarian it is crucial that you be selective. I took my dog to get her spayed and she walked away with multiple problems of which some may be LONG TERM. They spayed her and ended up hurting her left hind hip and left knee. Also they left a disolvable stitch hanging out of her abdomen and when i took her in for a recheck they said nothing about it. They gave me an anti-inflamatory medication and told me how to dispence it to her. Today, I took the Pug to a DIFFERENT " HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VETERINARIAN and he assessed my dog over ONE HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES. He found that she has multiple problems due to her surgery and tried to solve some in the office. I showed him the bottle of medicine that she was on and he stated " WOW< THIS IS A REALLY STRONG PAIN KILLER". I was SHOCKED! The original veterinarian told me it was for SWELLING and said nothing about PAIN KILLER. Then the New VET removed the stitch from her abdomen..... he did minor surgery in front of me. Then he put the skin glue on her stated " he was really bothered that she was left in that condition....Then her gave her an antibiotic and gently sent her out the door. We have to have X-Rays that will cost $600.00 to find out whats going on with her hip.

I figure that if we all pray hard enough maybe the original veterinarian will do the x-rays at their cost and then tell me what could be wrong with her. I am still very upset at them but I would perfer the $$$$$ came out of their pocket not mine.

So Please pray that they will see things from my point of view....Please Pray that my Pug heals by some miracle so that she will not walk around with a limp for the rest of her life. She is only SIX MONTHS OLD. I am not pathetic....she is all that I have as "My immediate family"....... Love you all, Reaah and Tacori
