Locked Out

God help me I did it again, and yes that means this isn't the first time. I locked myself out of the house this morning after taking Odd Dog for a walk. It was early people...like freaking 6:45 in the AM. My hide-a-key was missing from it's hide-a-key secret spot.

No I'm not going to tell you where it is...not that it really matters since it's magically disappeared.

I thought about busting out a window or breaking down door (don't laugh I could do it), but then remembered that I have a spare key in my car...that is locked. I only know about 4 phone numbers by heart and 3 of them are for folks that live over 3 hours away.

Thanks to a lovely early walking neighbor and a friend who recently inherited the emergency key I was back in my house and in the office by 9:00.

Guess who's going to get another spare key made after work!

Redneck Mother

I really want to be this mom. The cool mom that still drives a Jeep and has two car seats in the back...maybe welded into the frame. Is that possible? Does is make me unsafe and irresponsible? Oh well...call me a redneck.

Old Glory

Today is flag day!




















Not really a holiday but I did get my flag out this morning. Of course there was drama when I installed a new pole holder and pole. There was an old one that was broken and I freaking stripped the screw. I said "screw" it and put in the new one and went on my merry way. Thank you very much!

Grossness

I can just tell you how disgustingly gross my iPhone cover was. I had to soak it in 409 overnight. People, this is not normal. Now it only has a slight film of makeup coating the screen. What is wrong with my and my face? Does this happen to others?

Remember Me?

Yeah - me, Allie, the girl that has way to much on her plate. I might be back to blogging if anyone is interested. So do I have any takers?

I love you all - promise!

Preppy Dog

Ok it's official, I've become that dog owner. I'm turning my cute puppy into a preppy frat boy*. I had to have him shaved just before Christmas and all he did was curly into a ball and shiver. We were traveling to my parents and it was snowing and I felt so guilty that I purchased him a dog sweater. He loved it...danced around the house and got upset when I would take it off of him.

So last night I saw that Dillard's was having a huge sale and I needed to stock up tights. Low and behold there was this little bitty rack of dog sweaters and jackets and I couldn't help myself...for $3.40 I turned my dog into a preppy*.



*I want to make it clear that I have nothing against preppyness or frat boys. I wish I was more preppy than not and I do love all things nautical, pink and green, and golf. I just don't know if that's the right direction for my dog.

Purple Power

...and no I'm not talking about the magic cleaning product. I'm talking about these rediculous high heels that I walked away with last night.

I needed to run to the Nine West Outlet Store last night to purchase some new black pumps for work. These are my go to work shoes. I wear them at least twice a week. LOVE THEM but the heel broke yesterday and the super glue just wasn't going to hold it. Of course you have to look around the whole store. It's freaking buy one, get one half off. So I walked out with my trusty black pumps and these!
