Dead Dogs

We've been pretty pumped about K-State basketball since Thursday. I mean, obviously, we are always K-State fans no matter what, but it is especially fantastic to be a purple person right now.

And, Franklin agrees. So much in fact, that he just had to share his allegiance with you all.

Holy Blog Post

22.3.10 Ali Moore 2 Comments

Hi all.

Have you wondered where I've been? Doubtful. I'm pretty sure there are about three of you that read this blog, and that includes my mom who feels obligated because I email her every time I finish a new post and send her a note to go look at my newest pictures. And, then email her again to ask if she liked them. I am thinking maybe I should also start asking her to print them out and stick them on the front of her fridge because obviously I feel as though I need that kind of ten-year old attention.

Anyways.

Andrew was gone for eight days in LA. Can you believe it? Franklin and I survived without him, and Andrew, hater of all big cities, was in LA for that long! So, I thought of some fun things to blog about, but then knew if I did I would somehow mention that he was gone. And, then I kept thinking if I did that some rando creeper on the internet would find out I was alone and catch me in my house. So, I just didn't blog.

But I missed it. :)

So, here's a recap of what you missed (or didn't?):

All last week I stared at the list of things I wanted to do when Andrew was gone. Like paint our bathroom, clean the house, do the laundry. Didn't do any of them. But, I did baby Franklin, buy new tennis shoes - Reebok shape-ups - let's get my butt in gear!, buy new clothes at Target, etc. Target has cute, cute clothes right now, FYI.

I took puppy Frank to the vet last Wednesday for his check-up. He's 66 pounds and probably just about done growing. He's going to be a little guy, but that's okay with me because I can still pick him up and move him around if I have to. And, I feel like if he's little he will always look like a little bit of a puppy. So cute. He ate about two pounds of treats at the vet's. They always spoil him and tell him he's the cutest dog so naturally I like them. :) He was so worn out and just slept on the floor in my office for the rest of the afternoon.

Andrew came back on Friday, and I was supposed to pick him up around 7pm from the airport. I thought I'd clean the house really quickly after work and finish laundry before he got home. No sir. I had an awful allergy attack in the morning. I don't know if this is a real thing or not, but I literally went from feeling fine to feeling like I got hit by a truck in 30 minutes. I just kept sneezing and sneezing, then blowing then sneezing. It was horrible! What's worse is that I'm pretty sure I either sneezed something out of place in my back or pulled or pinched something because all of a sudden I had this sharp pain in my left shoulder blade. Then it just got worse and worse until my back was totally cramped up, and I couldn't move my neck. Does it mean you are really out of shape when you hurt yourself sneezing? Don't answer that. My back is just almost feeling normal today. Wow.

So, needless to say, I didn't get anything done while Andrew was gone. Except for shop. :) Saturday we cleaned house, watched K-State be awesome at basketball, and then Sunday we worked on our fireplace project! Woohoo! All of the ugly stones are gone. Finally. Now, we just have to get our replacement bricks in. Obviously this calls for new tools. Duh. And, we will order our mantle this week, too. So exciting. Until then, our family room will look like this. Oh boy.

What's the point of this rambling post? Not sure, but I am in Dallas until Thursday, sitting in my hotel room, pouting because my TV has no good stations and trying to keep myself preoccupied until I am tired enough to fall asleep. :)

Good night!

Whirlwind Weekend

15.3.10 Ali Moore 0 Comments

Franklin and I left for Hiawatha early on Saturday morning around 7:30am after a quick stop at Starbucks. He was super excited to ride in the car. Usually he sits in the back, but we were just packed to the brim so he was up front with me. I'm sure we got a lot of crazy looks as we were driving up 35 with Franklin staring down the other cars on the road.
The baby shower for Lori was a lot of fun! A lot of Andrew's family was there, and she got some great gifts. I can't wait for little baby M to arrive. Here's a few snapshots from Saturday afternoon.

Ruth doing what she does best...reading to the class. :)
Lori commenting about how Baby M will look just like a little Luke in this outfit...
And, the grandmas-to-be and mom-to-be!
Since Noel and Hillary have been in the hospital with baby Brynnan since Wednesday of last week, Quinn and I had a slumber party at her house, just the two of us. And, I survived. :)

We played lots of hide-and-seek, made several trips to school to learn our ABC's, shapes, etc., watched multiple episodes of Glee, made it through the Little Mermaid, read books, etc.

All in all we had a great weekend that went by too fast. And, I felt like Franklin looked on the way home to Wichita yesterday. Couldn't wait to get in my bed last night!

Birthday Bash

12.3.10 Ali Moore 3 Comments

I turned 25 on Wednesday this week. And, had a great birthday!

Andrew surprised me with a great, great present. I really wanted Reebok shape-up tennis shoes. I figure if I am going to walk Franklin every morning I might as well see if I can get some added benefit out of it. So, I just assumed that is what he was getting me. Because we had talked about it. But, he was very sneaky and got me something even better than shoes.

A new camera! And not just a simple point and shoot. A very professional looking camera. So excited! I had mentioned wanting to get a big bad boy camera after a while. I really like photography and thought I might take it up as a fun hobby. Because let's face it people. I have ample time in Wichita since we have 3.5 friends. Okay, more than that but our social calendar is not exactly hopping.

So - really great gift, very thoughtful and proves Andrew is a really good listener. When he wants to be. :)
So, I'm predicting you'll be seeing a lot of Franklin pictures as I work on my photo skills. Lucky you. :) Franklin on the other hand is already tired of me trying to take pictures of him all the time. Poor guy.
And, to top off the birthday week, we went to the Bon Jovi concert last night at the new arena in Wichita. Ahhh, Jon. I just love him. He still looks good, sounds good, moves good - what's not to love?

Pretty sure Andrew picked up on some of his sweet dance moves. And will probably bust them out at the next wedding. Sorry, Brittany. You are welcome. Haha.

Remind me to take control of the Girl Scout cookie order next year...so I don't end up with 10 boxes in my pantry. Thanks, Randrew.

I can't help myself!!
