Happy 33 To Me...Cheers!!!

It's my birthday and Mom and I decided to go have dinner (and drinks) at Chili's to celebrate!  Gotta say dinner was good and the company was GREAT!  Thanks Mom.

Soooooo tired!!!

Holiday Bazaar!!!

Kim was able to participate in this Relay for Life fundraiser thanks to her sister's connection to the Kern County Police Department so we decided to team up!  Kim had learned to make cute hair bows after her daughter was born and so she had a bunch of those on display.  Her and her sister also made some cute baby onesies that had added crystal bling on them.  I had a BUNCH of diaper wipes cases on display, some key chains,  along with my dog collars and leashes.  Just for fun (and hoping I'd sell some) mom and I wrapped up some pretty sagos and took them along too!  Truly, this day was long and a total bust when it came to profit margin!  By the time we donated (AKA Paid) for our booth I'm not sure if either of us broke even let alone made any money!  We had to remind ourselves that it was a charity event to make ourselves feel better after putting in so much crafting time!

"Grama's House" to swim!

Ginger is poolside and I was helping Mom in the Garage.  Ginger doesn't like to be separated but unfortunately, she doesn't fit through the old doggie door.  She did keep a constant eye on us the whole time though!  Shockingly, not too long after this, we ran an errand just down to Lowes and were gone like 30 minutes.  We'd left the girls in the backyard (because they were both wet) and when we returned Ginger greeted us IN the garage!?!  She'd somehow pushed herself through the door and her poor little belly was rubbed raw!  She'd also bit around the side of the cutout (no doubt trying to make it bigger).  Next time Wayne came through town we planned to put in a slightly bigger doggie door to cover up the gnarled parts and make it so she fits through!   

Teddy Bear Toss!

Sherry and Matt have season tickets (or at least home game tickets) to the Condor hockey games but this time they couldn't go so they gave the tickets to Mom and I.  The weekend after Thanksgiving marks the Condor's annual Teddy Bear Toss night that collects stuffed animals for charity and Christmas gifts!  Everyone is to bring at least one stuffed animal to throw onto the ice after the Condors score their first goal of the night.  It's crazy, you will be pelted with animals from behind and above you!  We had the goal netting in front of us so we actually had to throw our bears over to the people on the left who could then toss it over the glass.
