Not Being Mean

Ok a second post for today. I'm trying ever so hard to go to everyones blogs, and comment, but my FF is being really stupid!!! When I click the comments button, there is usually a second page that will pop up. Well FF will not let it pop up, atleast not for a while. It will come up about 5 minutes later. No it is not a pop up blocker, issue! So not only can I not follow people because it's a pop up screen, but I can't comment! So if anyone at all has a solution to this, PLEASE tell me, it's driving me insane!

Just a Quick Rant

Every day on my way home I drive by this horse that breaks my heart. This horse is so skinny you can literaly see every bone in it's body. It kills me, and every day Heather hears about it. You can see it's ribs, it's hip bones (if that's what they are called on a horse), it's spine, and it's neck bone. I don't mean you can just see the bones, it looks like the skin is just kind of hanging off of them.

My neighbor has 5 horses, so a few months ago, I brought it to her attention and she called the local ASPCA. You know what they did? They came out, looked at the horse, said it is indeed in severe malnutrition, and told the owner he had to put a blanket on him in the cold months, which he did. Now, in the owners defense the horse is very old, and he has lost his teeth so he can't eat as well. But for crying out loud, if your horse is so old it can't eat and keeps it's nutrition up, why not put him down. I get that you may love your animal, but don't be selfish and let him suffer the way he is. The poor horse is usually in the same exact spot, day after day, I'm told because it hurts for him to move. My neighbor also has a horse that's old, he's 25, and a beautiful horse. He is slimmer than the others, but not by much. She tried talking to the guy about it, telling him what kind of feed to get him, or just put him down, he's in too much pain...but he won't.

This breaks my heart every single day! Sorry I'm in a mood today!

I Should've Taken Pictures!

Well I thought I was going to have this nice, quiet, uneventful weekend. Lexi went to spend the night at a friends house for the weekend, which meant Friday after I took her to her friends, I was gonna have the house all. to. myself. For a few hours anyway! I was so so excited. Well turns out, hubby decided he was going to leave work early, which is usually ok, but I was seriously looking forward to some "me" time. So he came home, and I didn't get any alone time. Not that I really know what I would've done w/ it, but it sounded good anyway.

We had plans for Saturday, we were spending the day together. I had this vision (Yep I have them a lot) that we were going to have a nice day maybe in the park w/ the dogs, walking and talking. Well dear old mother nature had another idea. Storms and raining like crazy. But that's ok, because then he suggested we go bowling. I L.O.V.E bowling! I haven't gone bowling in a year because of my back. Well to hell w/ my back, I wanted to bowl. So we went, I had a ton of fun, and I even kicked his butt 2 games! I wish I'd have had my camera, because he will never admit to that. But I did, I swear I did!

We left the bowling alley and decided we were going to try a new restaurant. Maybe not really new, but new to us. So we drive down the road, he says oh it's on Indian Lakes, turn right here. Lord knows I should know by now that I shouldn't listen to a man when it comes to directions. We ended up driving around in circles, for like 45 min before I realize that there is a reason the houses all look so much a like. I say "Honey, I think we are going in circles, I mean how many pink houses can their be in one neighborhood!" Ha! Thank goodness for the GPS! So as it turns out we were no where near the restaurant, like 30 minutes no where near. The food was pretty good though.

So we went home, and Scott left for Talladega, Sunday morning long before I woke up. I thought, YAY, at least I'll have a little time Sunday to myself. NOPE, I went and volunteered myself to take Lexi and her friend to the mall. Then I let her stay the night.....

I should've taken pictures...before I pulled all my hair out!

Monday Minute with Ian...Vlog Style

We're doing it Vlog style this week! Yeah! Still not comfortable in front of the camera. I have no problem talking to people, but being behind the camera is a whole new experience for me. So here goes nothing!


So I obviously redid my blog again...for Mother's Day which is coming up. And I haven't gotten the code completely done yet. So I'm missing a few things but they'll be back in a jiffy!
