The Verdict is Out!

Sheely is not pregnant. Its almost been 3 weeks ago now - when we were suppose to take her back to the vet to have her checked and an ultra sound. We decided not to take her because we didn't see her tummy getting any bigger. So, we just decided to drop it and not waste the money if it wasn't necessary.

As for me, of course I'm a little bummed out about it because there is nothing cuter than newborn puppies. But, also happy that she's not preggo because right now, I don't have the time to take care of puppies. I've been putting in some long hours between work and school, so haven't even seem much of Ryan and Sheely in the past month and a half. They are generally sleeping when I leave in the morning and sleeping when I get home. I will say no more.

Anyway, I know all of you are "dying" to hear the news...so, I thought I'd write a quick note.

Time to order checks...

Fun in the Sun / Sassy Stripes


Pink Ribbon / Kate


Geobright / Let it Snow

Well, its time to order checks again. For those of you who don't know, I am a check fanatic! I am all about finding a new, different design for checks and seriously get excited when its time to purchase a new box. My last design was the "Let it Snow" design above. I was a bit concerned when I bought my last box that I would not get them used up before the season is over. Ha. Guess what, thanks to the last 4 days of snow, I was able to make it through the winter with these checks. HA.

As you can see above, I found many cool check designs - especially the pink ones, named after a friend of mine. Kate, don't get a big head now. I did decide to go with these pink ones! I just couldn't pass them up. I'm really not a pink kind of girl, but think I need a little color in my life right now. There are multiple designs for each check above. The are so cute.

Quote ~

I received this quote the other day and thought I'd share.

"God determines who walks into your life... it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go."

p.s.

By the way, I'll be back in action once I get this new template thing figured out. I've been missing in action for the past few weeks and miss all of you. I don't feel the need to expand on the last few weeks of my busy hectic schedule.

HELP!

Ok, so I have just spent about 1 1/2 hours online looking for a cool new blogger template (yep, to get on board with the rest of you bloggers). Needless to say, there are not many "cool" ones out there...but, I did find 2-3 wordpress themes that I like. When I downloaded them, they were saved as a zip file. When I attempted to download them into my blog, I get an error. How difficult can this be? Does anyone have any helpful hints for me? I have very little patience for this kind of stuff. I'm even more frustrated with all the darn advertisements that take you to the same website on each click. Its annoying.

Do I need to download just blogger templates? or does MySpace layouts work for this?

Am I suppose to be downloading wordpress themes for my blog?

I guess I don't know the difference.....HELP!

Interesting Solution...

I received this email today ~ thought I'd share!!

Like a lot of folks in this state I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.

In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem.

What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them??

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ass. Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?????

The verdict....

Just got off work, so I'm going to keep this short and sweet. I know that inquiring minds want to know...so, I took Sheely to the vet this afternoon. The vet said that she couldn't tell at this point because its too early. She did notice that Sheely is starting to "develop bags"...but, it could either be a bad pregnancy or that she is really pregnant. So, we scheduled another appt in 3 wks as a follow up. I am suppose to watch her belly area to see if it starts getting any bigger or not. If her belly is bigger in three weeks, they will be able to do an ultra sound to verify the results. Not much news to report tonight. Gotta scoot...good night.
