Kohl's and Kids

 In Texas, we have tax free weekend right before school starts back. I have tried it before, and it just seems to me that they raise prices and then cut them to make you think you are getting a deal. On top of that, you have to fight crowds. After it is over, everything is wiped out.

My oldest has needed a few shirts for awhile now. He hates shopping for clothes, and I am tired of buying clothes for him and having to return them. I knew, if I did not force him to go with me, it would mean facing crowds or wiped out merchandise. So, I somehow got him to Kohl's today and got a few things. It's a good thing he is not a girl, or he will make no sacrifice what-so-ever in the name of fashion. It can look great or have his favorite game logo. It does not matter unless it is completely comfortable.

I tried on few things. I think the heat has me so over summer that I am even sick of the clothes. Truthfully, I am hoping to lose weight before fall.

I make pink look good

I ran to Target and just happened to go down the pet isle. I glanced at the collars, and there was one I just could not resist. Pink and sparkly. If it had been one or the other, then I might have resisted. It did not help matters that I had recently picked up a pink polka dot bow. They were meant to go together and meant for Miss Paisley. I came home an put them together and on Paisley. So cute and so girly. Love it! I don't know what it is about pink but I just absolutely love it. It just makes me feel happy!

Okay, did any one else catch the Bachelorette? Of course, I watched it. I thought all along it might be Chris. They seem very happy. So nice to see a happy ending.

Farmer's Market

We have had a nice weekend. Saturday morning we got up early and went to the little farmers market where we live. We came home and had a nice breakfast with some items found at the market.

Today on Iron Chef, the secret ingredient is chihuahua! 

Say What?!?!

It has been so very hot. I am always torn between wanting to get out and go somewhere and do something or staying home and hiding out from the heat. I try and tell my self to work on projects or cross things off the dreaded to do list on days when it is so hot. So, that is what I did Saturday. I worked on some things around the house and cooked. I like to have food ready for Sunday, so we can just relax before the week starts.

Oh, and of course I took pictures of  Paisley. She is such a good sport. I don't think that I have had this much fun since my kids were babies!  

Crazy days but Paisley makes it better

We have had a busy and kind of crazy end to this week. The crazy part started with a  Dr's appointment. I got to the doctors office and got out of my car. I saw one of Paisley's dog bags, that looks more like a purse, and thought I might better toss it in the trunk. I forgot that my trunk has been temperamental about closing, or I never would have considered this.

First of all it makes this noise when you use the remote that I can only describe as someone killing a Penguin. It's a kind of shrieking sound. Second of all, you have to push the button about three times and then it finally shuts.

Well, I pushed the button repeatedly to no avail, and due to the horrid sound people around are looking. I would try and shut it, nothing. Maybe a good slam? Nope. I finally had to surrender to the fact that it was not going to close. So I called from the parking lot and canceled my appt. I found an old phone charger, tied it semi sort of shut, and drove slowly home. It popped open before I was even half way there.

I really wanted to discuss changing my thyroid medicine that I am on, so I was really frustrated that I have to wait! The bright side I got to come home to my sweet Paisley girl. It really does make you feel better when you come home to sweet snugly puppy who is so thrilled to see you. I remember Bonnie Hunt saying for most people "Your dog is the only one that is going to greet you like your a rock star when you walk through the door." So true!

Oh and miss Paisley has adjusted quite well to staying in the bathroom. That's my girl. I am so proud of her!

Another hot day in Texas. Paisley staying cool in front of a fan.
