Wow, this weekend a friend asked me how often I blog and
it dawned on me I’ve been quiet for almost two months! What can I say, life
gets in the way! I am trying my best to stay consistent but when I am busy
and exhausted, blogging isn’t fun; and since I do this for fun….my apologies!
I did want to share one exciting event that has happened
since my last post; we adopted a dog!! A few weeks ago, on a whim, Chuck
and I started searching some adoption sites.
We agreed a dog would make a great Christmas gift for the kids. We soon
loaded up the fam and made an outing to the SPCA. Even though the plan was to
wait until Christmas, we both had a feeling about several dogs we saw on the
site. The SPCA was a beautiful facility
filled with an extremely kind staff and volunteers.
Three hours later after meeting
several dogs and having an interview with the adoption counselor, we came home
with Flower! As soon as we met her she seemed to be all smiles and the kids
loved her. Flower is an eight year old Yellow Lab mix and she was an “owner surrender”. It’s only been a
few weeks and Flower feels like she has lived with us forever! She has been
showing off all of her tricks including sit, lie down, speak and roll over. She
has also been giving us all lots of kisses.
Adopting an older dog definitely has its perks! She is calm, well behaved and trained. It
also feels really good to give a dog another chance to have a family. We needed her as much as she needed us!
Meet Flower Power Taylor!
On another note, for the past six months or so my skin
has looked like I'm back in high school. I don’t particular like to wear lots
of make up, but lately I feel I’ve been piling it on. Recently, I broke down
and had a facial. I expressed my concerns and told the esthetician that I have
been a loyal Proactive user for over
10 years. He explained that the Proactive
may be losing it’s effectiveness since I’ve been using it so long. So, since I
was going to make a change, I thought I’d try to find a more natural option for skin
care. In my next post I’ll share the products I have tried, what I found
that works and what I found doesn’t! Stay tuned!
Buzz!
