TP
So, I find it fascinating and infuriating the bathroom toilet paper situation I have encountered at my job lately. Who the heck keeps stealing/loosing/taking/misplacing the freakin spindles that hold the toilet paper rolls in their holders?!?!?! They are missing in 3 separate women's bathrooms. Its so annoying, and gross, to just have the TP rolls balancing on the holders or handicap bars. THEY DONT ALWAYS STAY BALANCED, so that means they are often on the floor. Sick.

in the Lou
Well, I have been at home in F-Town/ around and about in "the Lou" this weekend. Its been whirlwind as usual but thats ok. I am glad to be home, but honestly, its been a pretty tough trip. First of all, my parents had to put our family dog to sleep on Thursday. Dusty was almost 20 years old! thats right, I said 20! He was such a sweet dog always, but had been getting so sick and old the past couple of years. I felt so bad for him the last few times I saw him or when I saw him in pictures. So now, he is dog heaven with Daisy (if she'll deal with him) and Daphne and all our other extended family doggies.
Also, my (bestest) Grandpa suffered a 2nd stroke in a month and is currently still in the hospital because they are trying to get his medication all leveled out. It was pretty hard to go see him today, although he is not "sick" really at all and is totally "with it". It was hard because he was telling me what happened and how he has lost the sight in his left eye and he started to get pretty emotional about that. Man, was that hard to see! He has always been so strong- invincible really- always taking care of all of us and my Grandma and everything. I think he will be ok and will be able to do most everything he wants to do he will just have to get used to maybe doing things a bit differently. They even said he could still drive(!) My cousin K is going to find him an occupational therapist to help him "re-learn" how to drive with just that one eye. I will keep you posted on his recovery.
So tomorrow we are going to go to church and then go visit my other Grandpa and his wife (not my Grandma.) He has had a very rough year health wise (like very rough.) I haven't seen them since the wedding. I am glad to have the opportunity to get by there although, I am sure it will be somewhat upsetting also- to see him more frail and sick.
The weekend wasnt all sad and stressful. Most of the family came over tonight to see me and to kind of celebrate my birthday a little early. It was nice to see everyone of course and we always have a good time. We got out some old VCR tapes to watch some old family footage of dance recitals and some of us doing those slingshot/dragons wing rides. Not me- I didnt go on that trip to FL for some reason.
Anyway, go to get to bed.

This weekend
was my one year anniversary and it was really wonderful! I cant believe how quickly the year went by. Being married has been very awesome. I couldn't really ask for thing to have gone any better.
It has been fun getting used to living together- although I am sure I frustrate Stock more than he does me, with my little bit of a messy streak still left in me! We have so much fun together and he makes me laugh all the time. We have serious discussions about things and I enjoy those as well. I feel totally fulfilled. I just wanted to put that out there.
So for our anniversary we had a lovely and romantic evening at the Gaylord Texan. We had an awesome King Suite that was probably bigger than our old apartment! it was nice. We had a great dinner at a Latin restaurant where we both got some yummy fish dishes. Then I got a lovely surprise text message from my friend W. She sent us a gift card for the Gaylord, so we had a lovely breakfast there the next day too!
On Sunday we did a little shopping and then went to go get massages. It was both of our first professional massages. It made me SO SORE! Man. I still hurt today! Its getting better though, so maybe tomorrow I will feel a difference or something.
We had the cake topper and some cupcakes left over from the wedding that I thawed out this weekend too. We tried eating the cupcakes on Saturday night- YUCK! they were totally gross and freezer burnt. The cake however is still very good. We had a little of that today! Ameretto cake with raspberry filling! :0)
