another day

so saturday was another day, but it included my next belt testing in karate... i was testing for 6th kyu... matt said that my kata looked really good and looked as if i was totally focused, so that is a good thing... belt graduation is supposed to be tuesday, but i will not find out until wednesday... i got asked to work tuesday night and didn't think about it until afterwards... it is okay cause i am pretty sure that i passed my test... but if i am allowed to, i would like to double test for my green leader belt cause i will more than likely be ready for it... i was ready for saturday's test for about a month now and there isn't much more to learn to double test for my next belt... anyways, i am getting pretty tired, but i need to let Riley out again...

later today, we need to call the vet for Riley and find out how much it will cost for a basic check up and about clipping her nails... we would clip her nails if they were not black... don't want to cut too far... and, oh yeah, her paws are big and she is growing surely enough... she is going to be a big girl ( not so much tall, but big built)...

Matt out Riley in the garage tonight so he could go to work... then i am supposed to let her out when i get home from work... however, i figured that i would take a quick bath and then head to the store and then let her out... but she was howling when i heard her before heading to the store... Matt later said that she was not happy when he put her in there in the first place... earlier when i left for work, she knew that something was up, but she had all day with Matt to play with... i don't know... I think that she just figured that it was back to the messed up week when Matt and I come and go at different times... and with that comes times that she is put in the garage for a while... before we had her in the bathroom, but she was just messing stuff up in there... plus once i had almost thought that i lost my ring down the heating vent... my ring was in a plastic container on the sink counter and she got up there and knocked it over... i was not happy with her that day... even though, Matt would not have been mad about me losing it... it just means so much to me, since it was his mom's ring...

anyways, i am going to let her out... and get around for bed, so night all!!

Here are the pics that I promised!

Here is Riley!! Isn't she a cutie?!

new family member

so i figured that this was due for an update...

well, as you might know, we were looking for a puppy that we both liked... she was to be my birthday gift cause i am more of a dog person... plus, I could use the company with Matt gone often... well, I got my birthday gift early... she is the sweetest little thing... we named her Riley... she is a three month old siberian husky/rottweiler mix... i have pictures, but i have to find the cord so i can upload them... today we took her on her first walk... it was interesting to say the least... she really struggled with it in the beginning, but caught on real well on the return home... we walked her over to Matt's mom's house cause she wanted to see the puppy... while walking Riley, we were able to meet a couple about our age that lives about a block from us, which was nice...

well, as soon as i find that cord, i will post pics!! plus i will have to take a few shots of the house too...

but i will talk to you all later... starting to get sick, so i think i am going to lay down for a bit... later all!
