Yesterday we went to pick up my Japanese Chin Houdini in Renton… He is the most loving dog ever! I totally love him… I held him all the way home and he slept…  He has been following Josh around non stop… Last night he slept on the bed through the night and didn’t’ budge… I woke up several times to take him outside but he was out like a light so I let him sleep… he is such a good dog!

I will upload some pics soon….

Every week of course I want something new… this week its a Circle Y saddle… I’m not sure *which* one I really want but I like this one…

I’m excited about this weekend and picking up Houdini my Japanese Chin baby…!

OMG also… we watched the Orphanage last night…that movie rocked…it was really disturbing but good…

Well last weekend we didn’t get to go to Seattle for our Anniversary … poor Josh was sick… hopefully this weekend he will be well enough to go as I’m busting to get some time away with Rod and also pick up my Japanese Chin Houdini…
This week has been tough… Josh has been sick again with a bad cough .. I finally got over it but worry Josh is taking a little long to recover… Rod is working hard as always….he is such a good husband and daddy… I’m really lucky that I get to stay home with Josh… I know not many Moms can these days… I’m still looking online for land and houses… It will be nice to be able to find something and just move… arrrrrrrgh I can’t wait
Its not that I hate it here, but I do think a change would do us good… Seattle has so much more to offer and so much more to do…
I have been looking at some pretty creepy shit online again….someone posted this to my twitter…

Post Mortem 1800 photography… it’s awesome creepy…very erie…Gotta love it…
Still haven’t found the perfect QH, Paint or Appaloosa but I’m still kinda looking but I think I will put it off until we move… we still have to contend with 2 Thoroughbreds and a Shetland pony…
Right now I’m watching a Doco called "Villisca” its about the murders in 1912 .. someone killed this whole family with an axe…who the hell would do something like that? They were just as fucked up back then as they are now… well maybe it’s worse now but still OMG…

Happy Halloween Everyone!!!!!!!!

I love this holiday……

Rod and I are talking about taking a Disney Cruise next year… there are so many things for kids to do and it sounds like fun… Josh is still kinda little for that but I’m sure there would be things for toddlers too.  Disney sent us the DVD and info pack so tonight we will watch it. 2 weeks of doing nothing sounds awesome…

I’m excited about the weekend… we are going to Seattle and spending Halloween at the Tulalip Resort and Casino…

Our Anniversary is on the 31st …

Not much else is new … we are still talking about moving to Seattle and Josh is doing much better…we are slowly getting over the colds n flu…

I feel so tired today..

Not much is new here … we still haven’t found a house with land… we are most likely going to move to Seattle permanently once we find a place. We have been talking about renting an apartment while we build. But first of course we have to find the land to build on. I must be the most picky person on either (second to my husband) because I don’t see one house in Seattle I would want to live in.  So now I guess we will find some land, build and live in an apartment while we do it…this is the plan *this* week..
So when I do have spare time I will start the houseplan search again…however I do look forward to picking out my dream kitchen and bathroom…
I fell off the diet bandwagon as well when I got sick last week… a little girl at Josh’s playgroup was taken to Spokane with swine flu. Then we all ended up sick, Josh missed two weeks of playgroup. Thankfully we didn’t get swine flu.  I have given up on finding a Quarter Horse around here right now…for the moment anyway…I guess I will start looking when I get some more time… right now I have so much more going on. The other horses will have to go into boarding if/when we go to Seattle….So they will have to stay in boarding until our house is built.
It means I will probably only ride on weekends though…

I want this too!

Poor Josh has had the flu for the last week… there was a case of Swine Flu at his playgroup/daycare so he hasn’t been there since last Wednesday… He has been tested and doesn’t have it but the poor little guy has been coughing non stop since

Both Rod and I are sick as well. It sucks.  I’m still looking constantly for a house with land… or at least land.  I really want to get the horses settled and sorted out soon.  

I’m also thinking if we do get enough land that maybe I could adopt a couple of older/neglected horses.  I’m still looking for a Quarter Horse or Paint, maybe both … I haven’t had much luck. I did look at a mare a few weeks ago. She looked perfect online and had really good bloodlines… however when we got there we found out that they (the owners) had bullshitted me about how much she had been ridden…she wasn’t saddle broken at all. Who lets a horse go for 7 years and not do anything with it? … If it was just a broodmare ok, even though that is a tremendous waste…but if she was *just* a broodmare…say so…don’t lie and go on about how she has incredible potential when she isn’t even broken in. And the shit around their house and yard…Bloody Hell… what a dump. They were people who just churn out one horse after another for a quick buck I think… the place was hideous and the conditions …horrid.  Enough of that rant.

We have been in the process of adopting ‘Houdini’ a Japanese Chin from JCCare … he is the cutest little thing..

In other news I’m thinking of buying this:

BUT I don’t want to use their shitty make up …I like the YSL I use now

I want to get my lips injected again they are lookin kinda flat these days….I’m also thinking of getting Botox just for the hell of it. 

I’m watching Scariest Places on Earth and they are talking about a place called Athens in Ohio … I wanna go there!!

I’m waiting to hear back from the Japanese Chin rescue to see when our house inspection will be… then hopefully we can have Houdini…I hate waiting….also my awesome husband booked in at a Casino Resort for our anniversary … He is awesome!

I do hope our application is successful to get Houdini… he is so cute! …
