TAGGED!


First... thanks Christy for tagging me!...lol



I think I'm supposed to come up with 6 things about me...OK here we go!



1. I love to live in a clean house. Some of you may know that already but to me my house can't be clean enough. I also clean things that are not seen everyday like b/h the frig. or b/h the washer and dryer. I move my sofas and vacuum under them as well as furniture if I can move it. To me something always needs cleaning...the windows, the blinds, the ceiling fans, the a/c returns...stuff people wouldn't think of doing unless they where filthy. See now just talking about it I want to go clean my windows and blinds!



2. I took piano lessons for 9 years and don't play as an adult. When I was a child we took lessons one a week and had to practice everyday. When I was given the option to continue or stop lessons I choose to stop and really have not played since.


3. I enjoy being outside! Let me plant flowers or go for a walk I don't mind sweating. Take me to the beach to build a sandcastle or to the mountains to tube in the snow. I just love being outside. I love all 4 seasons!



















4. As a child I was on a swim team. I was on the Syosset swim team and I loved it. As I got older I became a life guard. I was a life guard at West Hills Day Camp on Long Island. To this day I love to swim. I love the water I guess that is why I'm an Aquarius. Take me to the water, on the water, or in the water...I'm happy!


5. I watch my boys sleep. I take pictures of Bobby and Anthony sleeping. I guess they looks so angelic when they a sleep I can't help myself. They are also still...I can examine then for new moles,freckles, cuts or bruises I haven't seen when we're on the go. I also talk to them while the are asleep. I whisper sweet things in their ears. Upon occasion when I tell them something in their sleep they'll moan back! I love my boys!

last week!














6. Bob and I met in the summer of 1992. I had just moved down form NY and was getting ready to start Wingate College (now University). That summer I was to told to get a job so I would have gas money to drive home on the weekends. I met this young man in the parking lot of the Arboretum. The movie theater was just finished and they were looking for a crew. So I parked next to this blond guy who got out of his mothers blue minivan. We were both headed in for a job interviews. We sat next to each other, filled out applications next to each other and several weeks later started work w/each other! I always asked the manager to work me the same shift as Bob b/c I was attracted it him. Well on 6-14- 93 we had our first date (after work) at the Knife & Fork off Independence Blvd. We dated 5 years and married on 4-19-1998. I can remember that day as if it where yesterday. That was the first time I met Mari... who would have known she was going to be my sister-in-law. Anyway, Bob and I have been together ever since...We have kind of grown into adults together and hope to grow into old farts together!....So Bob & I have been together 15 years!

Update!

Well this morning I woke up to give Chewie his meds and it is amazing how good his leg looks. All the different pill I gave him yesterday have paid off today...He looks so good. Chewie got a couple of more years in him! We are so happy.

Good News!



We had a vet appointment this morning and Chewie is out of the woods!


So in all they found 7 obvious puncture wounds on his left leg. Several b/t his toes and one big one on his ankle. The only major concern now is rotting skin. The vet has put Chewie on every drug under the sun (just kidding). He has a pain killer, an anti-inflammatory, 2 antibiotics, ect... my counter top looks like the vets office. Anyway, I was told this is a long recovery process. He has to be on medicine for about 3 weeks. All this for a stupid copperhead bite! Let me tell you the next time I see one of those poisonous snakes I'm going to KILL IT!!! Here you can see all the bruising that is starting to move to his to his chest.


Since this has happened my kids have brought home every book in the school library about venomous snakes. One book said durning the cooler/cold months copperheads live in a den to stay warm. I've been wondering since this happened at night (and it was cool on Thursday night) if when Chewie went out to pottie he stepped in a den.


Anyway...we will be putting out SNAKE AWAY on Sunday!

Poor Chewie!

Chewie 2006 in Aunt Bea's house

Hi guys-
For those of you who don't know Chewie got bit several times by a venomous snake(copperhead, rattlesnake, cottonmouth or water moccasin) last night. These are some pictures of his left leg. His fever is between 104-105 and he is taking pain meds and antibiotic. He made through the night so we are hopeful he will recover!



Wallie & Chewie in 2005 b/f Wallie lost his leg!




For those of us who have animals you can understand they are part of the family. We have had Wallie & Chewie since they where 6 weeks old. They were my Christmas present the first year we were married. They were our babies b/f we had babies! They are always happy to see you even when your having a bad day. So even when I complain about them...I still love them!
