Maya has found her freedom around the backyard now. Amazingly, she was better when we first got her than she's been the past week or so. Yesterday: she tore our basil and cilantro plants to shreds. Today: she found aluminum foil and newspaper (who knows from where), and tore them to shreds. Later tonight: she pulled an entire squash plant out of the garden. That was it for Andrew. Needless to say, we know who the "dog-disciplinarian" is in this family. I try to make her mind, but that face--it gets me every time! Don't you worry though, Andrew did NOT let this one slide. It was pitiful then, but funny now to think back on Andrew throwing the squash plant at her.
TOMS called. They want her as their spokes-person, well spokes-dog. Haha.
Don't I wish that were true???
How can you say "no" to that little face???

These pictures of Miss Maya were from last weekend when we let her float around with Andrew in the pool. You can tell how she got so spoiled by looking at these!

In other news:
1. I went to the oral surgeon today, and it's official. My wisdom teeth are crazy, and they need to come out. Good news for today is, I get to be passed out during the surgery. Bad news for today is, I'm really short on PTO and need to figure out how I'm going to take off for this little ordeal. One of our friends told me a secret to cut out swelling...pineapple! He said he ate tons of fresh cut pineapple before his surgery and had ZERO swelling! I hope to repeat this! However, if I do swell up like a balloon face, then I will certainly take pictures. You just have to have documentation of that.
2. Krispy Kreme AND Dunkin' Donuts just opened up within a mile or so from our house....seriously, I could walk there in a short period of time. I can't deal with it. It's like I smell it in the air when I drive past it! Help me, Lord. It is not normal to be this attracted to sugar dough.
3. We are (in this very moment) watching what will hopefully be the last baseball game for Carolina this year. Yes, that's right!!!!!! We made it to the college world series again, and I am home for what could be the the final game! Honestly, it's exciting, but not quite as much as last year. Go Gamecocks!!!!!!!!!
4. In work news: I have the luxury of changing about a billion diapers a year at my job. However, I rarely have anything happen such as what transpired one night a few weeks ago. I had just done vitals on a baby in mom's labor and delivery room, and I was about to slap him on the scale for a quick weight. Sometimes, (especially with little boys), throwing their naked little selves on a scale really makes them "tinkle." Well, this kid tinkled...all over himself...THREE times! I am happy to announce that with two years of practice, I avoided every squirt. I kid you not though, he filled up the entire bottom of the scale! I have never seen anything like it in my life. At least he didn't get any in his mouth, at least I hope he didn't. Sadly, I have seen that before!
5. I'm still couponing when I have the time. Last week, I hit the motherload at CVS. I got two things of scotch tape, two pantene shampoos/conditioners, toothpaste, a bag of hershey's chocolate, diapers and wipes....all for $9 out of pocket. Don't get any big ideas....the diapers weren't for us. We gave them to Lara Beth for Caroline! I was so proud of my couponing that day. So worth it....

Ok, that's all I can think of for now. Aren't you glad I updated the blog twice in a month????? I am!
