Another shot

I just got the call this morning from the doctor that my blood work came back fine (yeah!!), but that I am not immune to Rubella. Lovely!
Guess what that means? Another shot on Wednesday. Ouch!
And I read that some people will always be immune, even if they do get a immunization shot which means they will continuously get shots throughout their life.
I am thankful that everything is good...cholesterol and thyroid.

Nugget Night

Chris was hungry last night, really hungry. He suggested The Lube for all-you-can-eat wings. I suggested CFA all-you-can-eat nugget night. Much cheaper.

For those that live outside of the Greenville area, Chic-fil-a hosts an A.Y.C.E. nugget night on a different week night at different locations. Initially you are served 12 nuggets, 1 large fry order & 1 large drink. $8.99

Throughout the dinner, an employee will come around an re-fill your nugget box until you have had A.Y.C.E. As nice as she could say when refilling Chris' box for the 4th time, "honey, you sure can put some nuggets away AND you aren't even a fat man."

Somebody else recognized the fact that my husband has a serious appetite. He does a good job of burning it off though.

I ate a kids meal and will probably be trying to burn that off for 3 weeks. Not fair!

I woke up this morning in a good mood.

I had a doctors appointment.

I had a shot in one arm and blood drawn from another.

I left the doctors office in a bad mood.

I'm ready to take a relaxing bath and maybe watch "Jon & Kate" in 30 minutes. Not sure that will help me feel better.

Maybe some ice cream will! :)

Friday Night

Friday night is our date night. When I got home from work we decided to go to Moe's. I really think Chris could eat there every other day. It helps that I have 6 BOGO coupons there. At dinner we talked about going by Bi-Lo and renting a movie from Red Box, which is probably one of the best ideas I've seen recently. $1 for 1 movie for 1 night. Great!
At Bi-Lo, we didn't see a movie that was available that we wanted to watch but Chris did decide that he wanted to get some Blue Bell Grooms Cake flavored ice cream. Over the past few weeks we have tried to find this each time we go grocery shopping with no luck.
First stop, Bi-Lo. No luck.
Next stop, Bloom. No luck.
Next stop, Wal-mart. Bingo! They only had 1 gallon of it left. Chris hid it behind the supply of vanilla so we could go pick out a $5 movie and not have to rush due to the melting ice cream.
He picked out a movie...I picked out a piece of furniture.
So, after spending over $100 dollars at Wal-mart, we were headed home with the ice cream and a desk. Oh What A Night!

For your information: the ice cream was very delicious and well worth a 3 store hunt for it.

Free stuff

I found another free item to share with you. Click on this link for a free sample of Scott Extra Soft Toilet Tissue AND 10count travel pack of Scott Moist Wipes. Can't beat that!

My latest project

Most of you know that I love anything monogrammed. Heck, my closest friends hosted a monogram themed wedding shower for me last August. I do think some people can take it a little too far, but whatever makes you happy, right? I especially love monogramming anything now with our new couples monogram. Chris doesn't get as excited about monogramming everything in our home as I do. I don't understand why (wink, wink).

Check out the 2 pictures below of my newest monogrammed item at the Lack home. The stickers came in today and I couldn't wait to put them on the rocking chairs. One was a gift from Chris' parents for Christmas (thank you!!) and one we bought with gift cards we received as wedding gifts. Chris has been on night shift this week and I'm so excited to see him tomorrow night when I get home from work. I think that he will smile when he pulls up to the house and sees my new design. What do you think?

And yes, this is our couples monogram AND my personal monogram too. We were meant to be!

Free Tea

Everyone that is a true southerner loves sweet tea! It has a ton of sugar, but a nice cold glass of sweet tea is now considered a special treat. McAlister's Deli is offering a free sweet tea to everyone on July 23. I'll do my best to remind you closer to the date, but enjoy a nice tall glass of good sweet tea and remember me! :)

Yuk!

Can someone with the health department PLEASE visit my gym? They have been out of paper towels for over a week and every time I go, they give us a new excuse: they are at the Laurens Rd. location, they are coming in tomorrow, my manager said to tell people that we are out (duh!), we don't have a way of getting them to this location. Seriously, you are a business. Make it happen! Walk across the street to Wal-mart. Last time I was there, they had plenty of paper towels.

Imagine person after person using the same treadmill and not being able to wipe their sweat off of the machine. I'm grossed out.

This is also the same gym that has now changed their hours because they "can't find anyone to work the night shift" at a 24 hour gym. Unemployment in SC is at 11%. Try another excuse on me because I'm not believing that one. This gym also closed one of their Greenville locations unexpectedly and without warming to their members.

Warning to all: Stay away from Peak Fitness in Greenville. N-A-S-T-Y!

Awkward

I went to Babies "R" Us today to pick up a shower gift and overheard this conversation.

Employee: Have fun registering and congratulations on your pregnancy.
Customer: Oh, it ain't me...it's her (as she points to her teenage daughter)
Employee: silence
Customer: walked off

Ummm...don't you think that if you don't know, then just just keep your mouth zipped. I would have thought that would be lesson #1 on your first day of employment.

How Sweet!

Spend the night party

BAXTER...such a stud!

Last weekend, my mom was in town and Chris was home for the night. Call it a spend-the-night party if you want, but we had another guest come over too...Baxter. Baxter is an English Bulldog owned by our sweet friends, Jennifer & Stewart. They were going out of town for the weekend and now that we love spoiling Baxter with lots of attention. Check out these adorable pictures:

Too funny not to post!

the birds have left their nest

I'm sorry I have taken so long to post the pictures of the birds. They are all grown up and have left the nest. The nest is now occupied by some fresh moth balls because the birds are no longer welcome in our ferns. Now we still have one more nest with eggs in it. Once those have hatched then that nest is coming down too. Please don't think that we don't love animals, but they just make a mess and they weigh down the flowers which causes the hanging baskets to break. There are plenty of beautiful trees that they could call home.

Clemson Baseball

We are SUPER excited that CLEMSON BASEBALL is headed to the NCAA College World Series SUPER Regionals. Did you watch the game? Oh man...Clemson always does a good job of getting me all nervous, especially when they have 3 errors in 1 inning. I was starting to get nervous, but am so glad they pulled it off in the bottom of the 8th inning.

Do coaches ever suggest to players to watch their language, especially when they are on TV? I have never played a Division I sport, actually I have never played any type of sport :) so I'm not sure how coaches handle that situation. I read lips because I'm hard of hearing, but I'm willing to bet that most people can still read what those players are saying even if you haven't mastered the talent of lip reading, like myself. There were some pretty dirty words dropped tonight on the field, and mostly by the Oklahoma State coach himself. Kind of tacky...and trashy!

These are the new hats we picked out downtown.
