My Vacuum REALLY sucks

My old vacuum didn't suck....in fact it didn't pick up much of anything. I bought a Eureka Pet Pal Bagless Vacuum today for around $80 at Walmart and am so pleased. We have a small inside dog so I thought it might help to invest in a new vacuum since the older vacuum was better suited as a doorstop. While vacuuming our 2 Bedroom Apt. I emptied the canister(which is fairly large) twice. This model also comes with a Self-Cleaning Duster, Crevice Tool & Extension Wand, Dusting Brush and Power Paw Stair Hose. Product, Price & Performance---all Great.

Summertime

My sis, Becca and my niece & nephew visited me this past week. We had a great time. Was so great to see them. The kids enjoyed going to Heritage Park and playing and swimming in the pool at the hotel. It's very hard to find swimwear at a store when temps are this high. Kmart had a wonderful selection so I bought Brittany two :-)
Last week was also some kind of Bizzaro Death week. MJ, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon. There was also a death in our extended family. My cousin's ex whom he has several children with passed away. She was only 51.
Mom is going to need surgery on her right arm/shoulder if it's to get any better. She's really dreading it because she's wondering how she will accomplish anything while recovering.
I've been wanting to totally redo Brittany's bedroom so that it is more up to date with her age group as well as trendy. She doesn't want a dresser & mirror and is opting for new bed, chest of drawers and nightstand. I'm also going to totally redo what is now her Entertainment Center. I'd like to get her a new TV(flatscreen) and a DVD recorder that also plays CDs. She still has my old 5 disc changer CD player but it might be hard getting her to part with that. Will probably have to sit down and talk that over with her ;-)

Don't spend major time with minor people. People in your life that continually disappoint you, break promises, stomp on your dreams, have different values along with a lack of respect for your values... are not friends.

Eva has arrived :-)

We brought Eva home yesterday. She's still settling in but seems to love it here. She is still a bit nervous and I think might miss the other dogs some though she is loving the attention she gets from being the only one here. Will post more pics later.

Change of Plans

The puppy has found another home as we decided that with it being a mix it had a good chance of stirring up our allergies. We are hoping to adopt this sweet white chihuahua named Eva from the FairyDogMother Rescue. She was surrendered by her owners(an older couple) when they could no longer care for her. We payed a visit to the facility today to meet Eva. She is so very adorable. I'll post pics as soon as I can. I sure hope we will be able to bring her home soon.

A puppy

One of our neighbor's has a chihuahua that had puppies and he'd asked if we wanted one of them. I picked one out last weekend and so around the first week in July I should be hard at work training it. It's white with a brown patch around its eye and right now is abt the size of a large hamster. Brittany is excited about it and I've told both her and Jim that I would need their help esp. during training for reinforcement.

What a Wonderful Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day. Went to see the new Star Trek Movie with my hubby, Jim. It was awesome. Brittany gave me a dozen roses too...she's the best.
