WOW, it's been a while. But, a lot has been going on. Last weekend we had our last dog show in the south. It was at the Agricenter here in Memphis. Tay and Chase both did really well. Tay got a 4th place and a Q however Chase didn't get anything. She did, however have some very nice runs. I'm so proud of her and how she's coming along. Jay and I have decided to take some time off from dog shows since we'll be moving. Chase needs to work on her contacts and Taylor needs to work on her confidence. People really frighten her at shows. Especially children.
Well we have sold our house. It sold last weekend while we were at the show. We have to be out on the 10th. We're heading to PA next weekend on our house hunting trip. I am getting so excited. Jason and I are really working toward being debt free. So, our goal is to find a very inexpensive house to purchase that doesn't need a lot of work. Yes, it can be very difficult to find but I know God will open doors for us so I'm not that worried.

And now on the radio......
So a guy comes into work today asking to talk to the sales manager. When he starts to leave Archie, one of the guys I work with, tells him about my trip to Indonesia. So I uploaded my photos from yahoo and started talking to this guy about my trip. Next comes the big question, Can I interview you for my radio show? People who know me know I HATE talking in front of people. Yes, being on the radio is not in front of anyone but it kind of is. He has a radio talk show on between 12:00 - 1:00pm Monday through Thursday on 1240am. It's Christian talk radio. He asked to pre-record the show this weekend but of course I have dog show. He took my number here at work and is going to contact me for the show.
Tomorrow I'm off work for the dog show. I'm so excited. Chase only needs one more qualification to complete her NA title and then 2 more qualifications to complete her OAJ title. We've been working on our NA title for the past 3 shows. She seems to think the table is for spinning and jumping off. We're working on that though. Taylor can qualify this weekend also so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Today for lunch we met Trish, Carie and Chris at Taco Bell for lunch. I hadn't seen Trish in a long time and it was nice to see her again. We had a lot of fun talking about dogs, fainting goats and bodily functions. Ahh, my friends are great!

Jeepin!
What a fun and exciting weekend. On Friday night we had the first people come and look at our house. While they were walking through we loaded up the dogs and went and had dinner at Fire N Stone Pizza. Man, I love that place. I think it's beating out Brick Oven if that's possible. Then we headed to Sams for gas and went home. Saturday morning Jay and I were bored. We took photos of our furkids for the first part of the morning. It was so beautiful out we decided to call Chris and Carie and see if they wanted to hang out. We ended up going to their house. We had lunch at Costa Vida, which is really good and then headed out to Covington Pike to go offroading. We had so much fun. Even Tilly and Kenzie. Don't they look hilarious? While Chris mastered the drainage ditch in his Jeep, I had to sit and watch since my poor Jeep is so LITTLE! Don't worry though. She'll be getting a lift soon :-)

Happy Friday to everyone! I'm in a good mood today, which is really good. I woke up late because I was so tired. We're having to keep the house spotless since it's for sale. I woke up at 7:15 knowing I had to leave 5 minutes later. Luckily I had cleaned the house the night before. I also called the realtor today because our house still was not showing up on the MLS. He said they had computer problems but that it should be up by the end of the day, which is exciting. I'll post the link later this afternoon.
Lawn mower.....
I have the worst luck with our lawn mower. Mainly because I don't think it likes me.... Seriously. So, last night I pulled the mower out and started to mow the back yard. The tire fell off. Don't ask me how but it did. If you could imagine the look on my face, and my face now as I type this. It was so funny. So, I did something most men will cringe at, I rode that little mower up to the front of the yard with no tire. What else what I to do? So Jason looks at me and says "Now how did you do that?" Stupid question baby, how would I know :-) So, we do not have an air compressor we only have a foot pump. Imagine us trying to pump up the tire with a foot pump. Ahh, hilarious. Anyone laughing yet? Well it wasn't working so we went next door and asked our neighbor if he had an air compressor. Stan, our neighbor, is wonderful. Always drunk but wonderful. So after we pump up the tire I start to mow. I got about 2 laps around the 1/2 acre in the rear yard and the mower just shuts off. I try to start it up with no luck. So, I run over and get Jason. I'm sure he's thinking by now, Oh what did she do now! So I tell him....The mower just shut off. He asks me, Does it have gas? Of course that's the obvious question one would ask but since I just filled it the day before of course it had gas. So he's like, it just shut off. I'm like yeah, it isn't running. It just turned off. So he walks around and low and behold, it starts right back up. He walks over with a smile on his face and says, it's working now.... Ahh, why doesn't this mower like me? Is it because I always hit stuff while I'm mowing? Is it because sometimes I do forget to put gas in it and it runs out? Is it because the front hood is all mashed up and we haven't fixed it yet? Maybe it's because its so old and we bought it for 300.00 before we moved here. he he he.
Anyway, this weekend we have dog class both Sat and Sunday since the show is in Memphis next week. Should be loads of fun.

Prayer Request for a fellow co-worker.
It started out with family and friends unable to get a hold of Sherry Hampton, 45, of Charlotte, that was last weekend.
W
ednesday, Hampton is still missing. Now, police said they have a break in the case, but it hasn't helped them find her yet.
Hampton was supposed to show up for work Monday. Her co-workers have put her picture and phone numbers to call on the door.
Hampton is the branch administrator for a distributing company in Steele Creek called Univar.
Hampton was last seen Saturday night at her home in Steele Creek, when a friend came over to help her hang some blinds.
She also talked to her mom that night, but that's the last anyone's heard from her. On Monday when she didn't show up for work co-workers began trying to reach her by cell phone, but there was no answer and she did not return anyone's calls.
Her family called her office looking for her also and that's when Hampton's adult son called police.
Then on Tuesday, police found her car in the 4900 block of South Tryon.
Her coworkers are certain this is the work of foul play and they have a message for anyone involved.
“Tell us where she's at. Tell us if she's ok or not or just tell us where she's at. Help us find her and bring her home to her family,” said Hampton’s coworker Yvette Bashaw.
There's a reward for anyone with information on the whereabouts of Hampton. Anyone with information is asked to call the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
Our house is up for sale. I'm both nervous and excited. I've been waiting on it to pop up on the MLS however it hasn't been uploaded into the database yet. I guess this can take several days. Jason was given a start date of December 1st so we have only 2 months to sell and move. I just keep praying that God will work everything out. I know he will! He always does.

I'll keep this entry short and sweet since it's almost time to go home. We had a great time at the show this weekend. Franklin is such a nice place. The arena was awesome. Only problem was the huge section of steps you had to go up and down before each run :-) This was Chase's first time in Open Jumpers. She qualified and rec'd first place on Saturday. I was so worried because the course was kind of tough but she did awesome and watched a listened for each command I gave her. Saturday in Standard however was a different story. I ended up making Chase leave the ring after 4 or 5 obstacles. She has gotten in the habit of bailing off her contacts which is very dangerous for her. After talking to Tammy and Jason I realized that it was my fault. So, I ended up giving her some treats. On Sunday she didn't qualify in Open but had a beautiful run. She knocked a bar so we disqualified. On Sunday in Standard the little brat did the same thing. This time is wasn't my fault. So, while we walked off the course I told her that she needed to stop doing it and that she wasn't getting a treat. He he he, they are just like kids.

Hello EVERYONE!
So, here's what's up. I have been trying to win a canoe on paddling.net for as long as I can remember. So far, no luck. They have these sweepstakes you can enter daily and win a canoe and an outfit which includes paddles, vests, etc. So the canoe they are giving away this sweepstakes is a canoe I am REALLY wanting. It's a Bell Yellowstone. So, everyone please keep your fingers crossed for me and I hope I win! Woo Hoo, wouldn't that be exciting? I know my chance is one in a million probably but I'm still very excited.
It's noon already and I'm starving. I can't wait to eat. I'm craving TB today. Mexican Pizza with soft tacos. Maybe I'll throw in some nachos with that. I sure do love to eat.
Anyone remember the Sir Mixalot song "I like big butts?" It's playing right now and I'm jamming. Good ol 80's music.
Tomorrow's when we leave for the dog show. I'm getting so excited. I'm going to take a late lunch tomorrow and then keep the kids here at work until we leave. It will cut down 1 hour of drive time so we don't have to go home first. Tonights packing night. Many of you have probably never packed for a dog show before. Packing for a dog show is like leaving the country for months. You need 2 sets of crates if you have dogs that like to chew. 1 set is left at the arena and the other set is left in your car and is left for the hotel. Lord knows packing 3 sets of crates would be stupid. Then you have the dirty bags so you can pickup after your pooch. Treats, food, cameras, leashes, chairs.....Ahh the list goes on. Each trip I try to find something I can do without but I still haven't found that one thing. Luckily our next show is here in Memphis so all I'll need is crates, chairs, treats and cameras.
So we heard some news about Berwick. I only heard a little bit since Jason met with him around 10:00 and I haven't seen him. So, once I find out more info I'll share as much as I can :-)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM!!!!!!!!!!!
A birthday poem just for you. Written by my sister Stacy.
Roses are Red
Violets are blue
You’re Kim, tis a poem
Of birthday wishes for you
Each year there is one
Day that is your own
Where good tidings are given
And candles are blown
With family and friends
Honor your day
Gift, blessings and cash
All are given away
So dearest Kim
Take heed what I say
From Jason and I
Have an amazing Birthday
******WARNING, THIS BLOG CONTAINS HIGHLY OFFENSIVE MAT'L******************
Today is a Memphis bashing day. Never in my life have I lived around so many stupid people. For instance today on the news they had to make an announcement that 911 is not to be used to get lottery numbers, scores of games and directions to places. It is for emergencies only. Uhh, what planet are you from? DUH!!!!!! So, since this is happening all the time they have developed a website specifically addressing why one would call 911. They are also going to educate the public (or so they say) using billboards. That only works for people who can read!!!!
http://shelbycounty911.org/
Then, on the way to work, Jason gets a call from a contractor they have hired to do some work at his work. Seems the contractor thought it would be ok to leave a bundle of conduit on the steps to the warehouse overnight. Hello......Memphis is ghetto. Why on earth would you leave some expensive stuff just laying around outside!!!!!!
Jason also told me yesterday he was fixing some printers in the warehouse. He used a screwdriver to unhook them from the conveyor belt and then laid the first one on the cart he was using. He laid the screwdriver next to it. Seconds later when he turned around, it was gone. Why does anyone want to live here? Do they know how horrible this place is? How dangerous? How stupid? Do they know that their are tons of other places accross the US that are so nice?
Sorry for the venting. Sometimes I just get so frustrated with this area I just can't help it.
If I didn't have to come into Memphis every single day I think I would be ok.....
So, in light of today's blog, my sister has graced us with 2 of her poems she has created for me just for this entry.
The first is to the music of the Wizard of Oz
The next poem is to the music of Crazy by Buck Cherry

We’re off to see the gangsters
The low down gangsters of oz
We hear if you make eye contact
They pop a cap in your noz
Because of the others they kill
It does, it does, it does, it does, it does
Because of the stupid things that it does
We’re off to see the gangsters
The low down gangsters of oz
The next poem is to the music of Crazy by Buck Cherry
You’re crazy town
But you kick me harder when I’m down
When I dream of moving far away
Scratches all down my car I don’t want to stay
Hey, Berwick never looked so good
Cause when I’m in
It’s ghetto from block to block
Spend more time talking to the cop
You’re crazy town.

Since I don't have much to write about today I'm going to copy and paste a funny joke my mother-in-law sent me. Thanks Carol. It was hilarious.
NEVER SAY TO A COP
1. I can't reach my license unless you hold my beer. (OK in Texas)
2. Sorry, Officer, I didn't realize my radar detector wasn't plugged in.
3.Aren't you the guy from the Village People?
4. Hey, you must've been doin' about 125 mph to keep up with me. Good job!
5. Are You Andy or Barney?
6. I thought you had to be in relatively good physical condition to be a police officer.
7. You're not gonna check the trunk, are you?
8. I pay your salary!
9. Gee, Office r! That's terrific. The last officer only gave me a warning, too!
10. Do you know why you pulled me over? Okay, just so one of us does.
11. I was trying to keep up with traffic. Yes, I know there are no other cars around.. That's how far ahead of me they are.
12. When the Officer says "Gee Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with,"Gee Officer your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"

MONSTERS.......
Although we didn't go canoeing this weekend we still had a great time. On Friday we met with a realtor about our house. Although he didn't give us the bright and cheery news Jason and I was looking for we still decided to use them because of their honesty. He basically said that our house could be a hard sell because it doesn't have an expandable space. Plus, all the other realtors said we could sell for mid to high 150,000's. These guys said we would have to sell under that. Since we'll be on a time frame and I do not want to be stuck in this place all by my lonesome we decided starting on the low end would be safe for us. We will not get the return we would like but right now that's not the most important thing for us.
Saturday we woke up and headed over to Chris and Carie's to work on the Jeep. Hints the name Monsters...... Anyway, I went shopping and hung out with Carie while the men worked outside on the Jeep. It's coming along really good and is going to look very sharp once it's done. They didn't get it all lifted and finished but the front end is finished. I cannot wait to ride in this thing and go muddin. It's going to be awesome. Saturday night Brent and Lea joined us for dinner and games. It's so much fun getting to know people you do not know that well. Brent and Lea are so nice and I've really enjoyed getting to know him. Lea is from Germany so it's fun to listen to her accent and also learn more about Germany.
On Sunday I stayed at home and worked on the house while Jason went to Carie and Chris's. I did laundry, mowed the lawn, washed 4 out of 5 dogs. After washing all the dogs my back sure is sore. I cannot wait to get a house where I can install a raised tub. All the bending really does a number on me. But, they all look fresh and clean and beautiful. After I was finished with all the chores I settled in and started watching Season 4 of Felicity. I really enjoy this show. It's about a girl graduating high school and following a guy to college all the way in NYC. If you haven't seen it before I highly recommend watching it. At 5:00 we went to dog class. Since we have a show this weekend we all worked on a course. I am really feeling confident in Chase and I believe we'll do really good this weekend at the show. She's been working better on the table, which is good. We only need 1 more qualification to get a title so lets keep our fingers crossed. After class we went to Fire Stone Pizza. I have never eaten their before but it was AWESOME! I think this may take the place of my favorite pizza place the Brick Oven. Umm, it's making me hungry just thinking about it.
Gurrr......I've tried 3 times to upload the photos of this weekend and they will not load. I'm about to give up on this blog stuff........
If you're dying to see the Jeep just send me an email and I'll email them to you. You won't be disappointed.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!
I forgot to write something yesterday. I didn't realize it until last night when I got home. Sorry for all you blog readers. I have failed you.
So it looks like our fun canoe trip is rained out this weekend. I'm bumbed out because I was really looking forward to it. Oh well, we'll just postpone the trip to a later date. Since we're staying home this weekend we'll be spending the weekend with Carie and Chris and working on the monster jeep. I had planned on taking before and after photos of the jeep however Chris got a little ahead of himself and went ahead and changed the front bumper. Chris what was you thinking? The Jeep transformation in as important to you as it is to me! LOSER.
While the men are busy working on the Monster Carie and I plan on having a little quality time together. I always enjoy my quality time with Carie. She's crazy like me.
On Sat and Sun we are having dog class to prepare for the show next week. So, that should be exciting. Hopefully it doesn't get rained out.
I forgot to write something yesterday. I didn't realize it until last night when I got home. Sorry for all you blog readers. I have failed you.

Look at that form!!!! This photo was placed at a joke to see if one person is really reading my blog :-) You know who you are! He He He!
Anyway, last night I tried something new. It's called speed mowing. We didn't get home until around 6:30 last night as the sun was setting. I needed to mow tonight since we'll need to start packing for our trip this weekend. So, I mowed the front yard at the highest speed it would go last night. Funny thing is the yard slants toward our house so at some points I was really flying. I have to say, it was so much fun!
Tonight is dog class. Since we'll be gone this weekend Tammy's letting us come during the week to another one of her classes. I'm really excited. I really like going to dog class. I'm going to miss it when we move. By the way, I did locate a house last night in PA that would be perfect. I'm a bit nervous though because the house is so big. It's over 2,000 sq ft. But, it has a room that I could call our dog room. I could also do agility in it. The room is about 20 X 30. Not to mention the house has a awesome view of the mountains. Need I say more? On the down side, the people decided to paint the kitchen and the trim on the outside of the house a HORRIBLE blue color. I mean horrible. So, that will be one of the first things that gets painted if we end up in this house.
Now about this weekend. We're going to canoe the Harpeth River outside of Nashville with a few friends of ours. Currently it's scheduled to rain all weekend which will postpone our trip :-( but we're hoping for the best. We'll probably canoe about 16 miles on Saturday and Sunday. I'm really excited.

I do not have much to write about today. But, I do have several prayer requests for everyone to pray for:
1. Jason's dad. He's sick and we're hoping he gets better
2. Jason's mom. That she'll remain strong during this time
3. Stacy. She's looking for a job in Cincinnati. Please pray she finds one. Hopefully in the graphic design field
4. Mom and Jack
5. Randy Luna's wife. He's a co-worker and his wife is very ill.
6. Jason and I about the PA relocation
7. Me, I'm in contact with a lady in Bloomsburg that has an office manager position available. She knows our situation and I think is willing to wait until we move.

This weekend was nice. Jason and I got a lot of work done on the house. On Friday after work I started working on the garage. I got a little work done but decided I was bored. I called Carie and Chris to see if Jay and I could come over. Inviting ourselves to peoples house is always fun. Of course they said yes. I knew Carie wasn't working on her thesis so I figured she wouldn't mind. We headed over around 7:00. When we arrived Carie MADE me go to Sonic for ice cream. Shame on you Carie! Tilly and Sam went along for the ride while the men worked on ripping out the floor in their bathroom. After they carried the floor out to the road we all sat down and watched Bringing down the House. I had never seen it. It was quite funny.
Saturday it was off to pickup Interseptor for the dogs. Man that stuff is expensive. After that we stopped by porter paints and was going to have someone come out to match the paint on our ceiling. He said over time it would change colors so we really needed to repaint it. Not what we wanted to hear. But, we purchased the paint and Jason went to work. I worked on cleaning and laundry. That evening we set up an agility course and worked the dogs. I got a call from Tammy asking why we didn't come to class. With everything going on I totally forgot it was class. Oh well..... Then we came inside and watched Flight 93. For those who have not seen this movie I highly recommend it.
Sunday we visited a new church called Longview Point in Hernando. It was a really nice church. They spoke on the role of the wife. He was actually kind of funny too! Afterwords it was off to Brick Over for lunch. I love this place. Around 5:00 we met with a realtor. She told us what we could list the house for and then told us everything we would need to have completed once the house was listed. So much to do. Jason and I are planning on listing the house next week. Right now we are meeting with realtors to see which one we want to use. We have one more left to interview and the appt is on Monday. Whoops, I didn't realize I scheduled it on Prison Break day!!!! What shall I do???? Anyway, once we meet with him we'll then decide who to go with and place the house on the market. I'm both nervous and excited.

I've Got WORMS!
Yes, that title might scare some of you but I'm only quoting it because I have Dumb and Dumber on the brain. Last night and today I have found myself reciting several of my favorite lines:
"You sold our dead bird to a Blind Kid?"
"Feels like you're running at an incredible rate Harry!"
"I've Got Worms. That's what we're going to call it. We specialize in selling worm farms"
"Mock, yeah, Ing, yeah, Bird yeah, yeah, yeah"
"Hey, there's some people that need a lift, pick'em up"
Anyway, maybe tonight we'll watch that movie and laugh like we normally do. There are several more lines in that movie that I just love.
This weekend Jason and I are working on the house again. Jason got some information from his company, not the formal letter yet, but they did say it would be coming sortly. So, we're going to meet with some realtors this weekend and possibly put the house up for sale late next week. So, we have tons to do. We've got to clean out the garage and shed and put some finishing touches on the inside of the house. The inside is mostly completed which is really nice. Then we have to clear out a little more space to add 2 more crates to the garage for Sam and Tasha. Those 2 have never had to be crated so it should be interesting. I'm sure they will hate me. Oh well though. :-) I'm getting so excited. I just pray that we're moved before it starts to snow in PA. I can't imagine moving in the snow. Let alone having to learn to drive in it again. Jason and I are going to try to find a winter sport. We've talked about doing skijorning (sp?) but we'll need another dog for that :-) We've also talked about snow shoeing. That would be tons of fun. If we are moved before Thanksgiving Jason and I have also discussed taking our first trip to NYC. I'm dying to see the Christmas Tree at the Rockifeller Center. After that, will probably be our first trip back to Schroon Lake to visit our family. It's been 3 years since we have been to Schroon Lake. Way too long!!!!!! I'm sure Shirley, Robert, Mike and Gracia will welcome us. They better (he he he).
Well next week is our canoe trip with all our buddies here in Memphis. I'm getting so excited about it too. We will be canoeing the Harpeth River outside of Nashville. I'm sure I'll have several photos to share :-)
Everyone have a wonderful weekend!
