Fighting Zombies... well just one.

so... whenever Riley is gone I'm usually ok for a little while,  but when he's gone for a long period of time, i kinda zone out into what i call my "Zombie Mode" it's a survival technique i think. but it sucks none the less. i get stuck in the whole "man i didn't do a darn thing today" rut. i will wake up early, take care of Deezul, do some work with my photo's and usually thats it. until like 5-6ish when i go to the gym with the girls, and then we've started a Gossip Girl marathon to catch up on all the episodes before the new season starts in a few weeks. but man oh man, i am REALLY missing that man of mine. goodness goodness goodness.... well we are closing in on when he can be done with this dumb training thingy and come back home.

i know he's homesick, cause our puppy is getting HUGE!!! and he's sad that he's missing how much our little man grows every day :) speaking of the little guy, i had to take him to the Vet yesterday for a check up. and i'm sorry to say that he's sick... and thats not a joke, he really is. he has mange... LAME!!! apparently Shar Pei's are the number 1 dog to get this. they have alot of skin problems which we knew before we got him. this is just the first thing to hit. so i had to hold him in a headlock while the Vet scraped him with a razor blade until he bled, she ran some tests, and he has it... sad day. so he had to get his regular shots PLUS that skin scraping... and now i have to spend like another $200+ on special medicines for his skin. hopefully it all works to help clear up his skin, and that his hair will start to grow back in the few little places it was thinning..

he's now 24.2 lbs. and even though i call him my little fatty, he apparently is perfect size... PSH that doc don't know nothin... he's my little Fatty. and i love him... even if he still gets stuck under the couch. he's really smart too. he had a little toy beaver, and if i said "Deezul GET YOUR BEAVER!" he'd run to his room and dig through his toys and bring out his little beaver... well the beaver is dead now and had to be replaced... by his HEDGEHOG! he's had it about 5 days now. and when i say hedgehog he runs and grabs it. he's so smart. :)

oh and i crashed on my bike this last weekend... i'm pretty bruised and scratched up.. i'm alive :) and i don't think i'm broken... wait scratch that... i think a bone in my heel may possibly be broken/bruised. don't know, and it's not unbearable, i'm still able to run at the gym... so i'll suck it up!

please remember to pray for our troops overseas they are doing an AMAZING thing for us! and sacrificing so much to be there. and as always pray for their wives, it takes a certain kind of woman to stick it out with a Marine/Soldier/Sailor... Semper Fi

love you all, thanks for reading!
