Boxwood Bistro

Since I only have to work 3 days a week now, I found myself unsure of what to do with my extra time. Kristin and Sarah both encouraged me to find a new hobby now that I have some time to pursue it. I really enjoy the Food Network (as you all know) and dining out and I have become increasingly interested in food and wine here recently, so I decided that I might try to take a cooking class, or a wine class or something. In searching on the internet, I came across this article about this new restaurant that was opening near the mall where I work. I decided that instead of paying someone to teach me about food and wine, I would apply for a job and get paid to learn the same things! I got hired as a bartender/server and have so far had a wonderful time and learned a lot. I am just hoping that I don't screw anything up!

New Roommate!

Since I have been feeling a little lonely, Doug decided to come to TN to spend the rest of Patrick's deployment with me. I must say, it is very nice to have someone to hang out with. He just arrived yesterday, but we have already had a very nice time just hanging out. I think we will have some fun times together waiting for Patrick to come home. It sure is better than being all alone! 

Sweet little boy Brandon

Here's a few more pictures from last week. He is a very lovable little guy! And so cute too... must take after his aunt.... : )

My Little Visitor

My Grandparents, Jackie, and little Brandon came to visit me this week. We have been pretty much just been staring at the poor boy for three days. He is pretty cute! Sassy doesn't care for him much, but I like him. I'll post more pictures of their trip here sometime soon. 

My new favorite place

I have a new favorite place- the Auto Spa! I took the car there today because I was too busy (lazy?) to clean it myself. I was happy to discover that a whole car clean, including interior, was only $15!!! It costs me more at the regular car wash to wash it and vacuum it myself! They have monthly packages that you can purchase for like $30 and get your car washed as many times as you want for that one flat fee. I couldn't help but think of my dad and his precious Ford Ranger that he keeps immaculately clean- he would put them out of business by getting his Ranger washed everyday! Personally I passed on the monthly package because my poor Fusion only sees the washer about once every 3 months, but for this one time it was surely worth it! 

Military Spouse Appreciation

The day has come and gone- I didn't even realize there was such a thing- but I found this article on the internet today and I liked it, so I thought I would share. 

It's not so easy on this side of the world either you know...

A dog walks into a bar....

Excuse me? Can I get some service here please? I swear I'm old enough- do you want to see my tags?

Mighty Threatening Mailbox

When you are as small as Sassy, big things- like mailboxes, are very intimidating. It is necessary to bark at them so they know you are not to be messed with.

FORE!

I went golfing the other day and was having a lovely time right up until I was nailed with a drive ball from about 10yds away. I was standing on the green of hole #2 when a boy on the T box of hole #8 hit a horrible shot that somehow went right into my chest instead of down the fairway. I was totally in shock and thought my heart was going to stop. After a few minutes though, it was fine and I just have a wicked bruise to show for it. The guy felt so bad and apologized like 100 times. I told him it was fine, but suggested that perhaps he hit the driving range a little more often to practice his aim!

Good as new!

Once upon a time there was a wee Macbook that had a broken charger. The Fair Princess took the Macbook to the Grand Palace Mac to purchase a new charger- only to be told by the mean dragon that the charger had broken off in the computer and fixing the problem would  cost upwards of $700 and that purchasing a new computer would be the only option. The Princess was very sad...a new computer was not quite in the budget, but the internet was the only way she was able to communicate out of the dark dungeon of her life, so she felt she had no choice but to succumb to the needs of the tech savvy dragon. Alas, a day passed, and the Princess had a thought "why not check out another computer castle?" Fair Macbook was then taken to another shop where the fine Techno-Knight Jason informed the Princess that a new charger part would cost a mere $25! No new computer was needed! There was great rejoicing throughout the land! Blogging could commence! The Princess and The Macbook lived happily ever after.
