Our lives has gone to the dogs!
I hate burdening people... I always have.
2 animals wasn't a big deal. When we would go away for the weekend we'd leave extra food for the cat and extra food for the dog and they were fine and dandy when we got back. This darn puppy has thrown a loop in that routine. He eats EVERYTHING. There is NO WAY we could just leave the dogs extra food. It would be gone the first hour.. Bailey would go hungry for the weekend and Bodie would be bloated to no end.
This weekend is memorial weekend. Ryan wanted to go to Socorro to see our family and I actually didn't. Why? I wanted to go camping so we could take the dogs. So now we are going to Socorro... I suggest we just stay one day so we can feed the dogs extra before we leave and when we come back they will be fine. Ryan wants to stay 2 days. This means... we need someone to watch/feed our dogs. Boo.... :(
I HATE asking people to do this. I just hate it. I feel like... they are our dogs, our responsibility and we shouldn't have to pawn them off on other people every time we want to go away for the weekend. Our neighbors, I know would do it in a heart beat... BUT We've already had them watch them a couple times... I don't want them to feel like we are using them. Plus, they never ask us for anything and always take their animals with them when they go on vacation.
Who would of thought that adding an extra dog could cause me so much extra stress just to go away for a weekend. (Although I do feel less bad leaving Bailey because I at least know she will have company and play the whole time we are gone!)
To add to this... the landscaper is coming this week to put sod in... do we really want to leave 2 crazy dogs in the backyard with our brand new sod? Sigh...
That is my rant for the evening... good night!

Funny Story
Saturday I thought I was going nuts. I looked in the spare bedroom and saw the comforter and sheets all messed up. I fixed the bed up nice and went to work. I came home from work and it was all messed up again. I asked Ryan if he had been messing it up or had gone into the spare bedroom at all. He told me no. I thought I was going crazy. Yesterday I walked by the spare bedroom while getting ready to head to church and I saw that the bed was all messed up again! It was then that I noticed a lump under the comforter....
BUSTED!
BUSTED!
Animals
Yesterday I decided to take some pictures of the animals. Bodie is kind of a snuggle bug so if you sit anywhere near his level, he wants to snuggle. Because of this I was able to get some cute pictures of the two of us. The other two animals don't really care for snuggling. :)

ANTM
Well... ANTM is officially over and that means my blogging days will be significantly minimized... unless I can think of something exciting and creative to blog about.
Anyway, Last night was the season finale of ANTM. There were 4 final girls left, Alexandra, Krista, Raina and Angelea. They started the show off with a runway challenge in an airplane (while it was flying). Krista ended up winning... it was one of her many challenges that she won while on the show and she has picked up some really great swag from all of them!
Next they did a photo shoot where they were trying to be ugly-pretty. Don't question me... that is what Tyra came up with. Raina had a hard time being ugly because she is so pretty and Angelea.... Oh man... her photo SUCKED. But half the judges loved it of course. This elimination was a double elim and to my surprise Angelea and Alexandra went home! I was pretty excited that Raina was in the top two... I didn't anticipate her being there, but I was definately happy she was. I just love her look, with those killer eyes and big ole eyebrows!
I have NO doubt that both Angelea and Alexandra will get a modeling contract after this. Angelea booked 6 of 6 go-sees so she must have some sort of personality and Alex is an amazing plus size model, who I know will go far!
Now it is the last 2 girls, Raina and Krista. They did their cover girl ad and commercial, a seventeen magazine spread and then stomped it out in a fun and flirty runway.
Raina is a covergirl, she looked AMAZING in the print ad. I was worried about her walk in the runway, but she actually didn't do half bad! I thought Krista was a shoe-in to win, maybe it was just good editing, but Raina definately gave her a good run for her money. In the end it wasn't enough and Krista, as expected was the next America's Next Top Model.
I think one of the reasons I wasn't too excited about this was Krista's body shape. She was almost a bit TOOOO skinny and could possibly give the wrong message to young women about what they are supposed to look like. Tyra thought being able to see her bones was hot... but to me it was kind of gross. She wasn't Average enough for me. Where as Raina was a big thighed, wide torsoed average girl. Krista models amazingly well and will go far, but you know there were girls out there going... I want to be skin and bones like Krista so I can be the next top model!
Oh well, that is my two cents. This season wasn't that exciting for me because I pretty much KNEW Krista was the winner a couple of episodes before the finale because she was blowing the rest of the girls out of the water, winning challenges and getting the best photo. Hopefully next season will be more exciting.
Until then... here is your next top model:

ANTM
I can't believe this season is ALREADY coming to an end. :( How very sad and depressing... whatever will I do on Wednesday nights?
Regardless, I thought last night's episode was a little blah. Besides Krista yelling, Yay ME! the whole time. She is definitely letting the pictures go to her head. But I must say I am enjoying this downfall of Angelea! I was REALLY hoping she was going home this week... but no such luck.
The girls did a photo shoot with Tyra who used all kinds of things to make shadows on the girls and they had to find the light in the shadows. Some of the pictures came out really cool and some of them were kind of weird... but after all it was Tyra.
Krista and Alexandra (as much as their new little click is driving me nuts) actually both rocked their shoot. Alexandra really surprises me when it comes to her being a plus size model... this really has NOT been an issue for her at all this season. And usually the plus size girls make a huge deal about it and clothes don't fit when they go to go sees and stuff... but this year it is a little mellower for whatever reason.
Anyway, Raina, Angelea and Jessica didn't really do so hot in their shoot. Jessica seemed a little down on herself this week. She kept saying how she didn't think she could be edgy enough and she was missing her family... because of the the self doubt, I don't think she did as well as she could have. I know a lot of people LOVED Jessica... but the judges have a point, she is a bit too commercial. But have no fear, I KNOW she will be picked up for a contract.
I am hoping that Angelea goes home next... however next week is a double elimination. I really like Raina and her unusual look, Mylanta! But I dunno If she can hang with the big dogs. At this point it is looking like Krista and Alexandra are top 2... but as you know anything can happen to change that. Krista, I think will for sure be the top 2... but who will be with her?

Bummer of a day
It is a BEAUTIFUL day out! After 3 days of snow and rain... it is finally nice outside and what am I doing?
Sitting under a blanket with a cat in my lap eating hot soup and getting ready to take some amoxicillin. :(
LAME!
This all started Friday. I didn't feel well, left work early, but decided to still go coach a soccer game... in the snow. Probably wasn't the smartest idea there. I came home and had a fever and some crazy chills. I had a fever ALL day Saturday... in fact I don't even remember Saturday happening. I felt a little better Sunday, but had the worst sore throat I've ever had.
I went to the Dr. today and the prognosis was Strep. YUCK!
I had all these amazing plans for my Monday off... and THIS wasn't it. I was supposed to go to Alb. to hang out with my friend Dawn and her boys.. but no. I am on a couch with a cat (who thinks this has been the best 3 days of his life...curled up with mom and blankets on the couch) eating soup and popping pills. Sigh...
On a side note... I was all upset when I saw my pills because they were horse size! But when I opened the container they were hot pink... Score! Hopefully the whole cool color thing will help those damn horse pills go down easier!
