Can you identify these plants in our yard? I can’t.
Hints: (1) This was in a pot delivered from my Mom’s house. (2) I thought this was a forsythia before it turned red. (3) I’m guessing a wild tree next to the creek. The branches are pinkish. (4) Another wild tree by the creek? – or is it a wanderer from my neighbor’s blueberry trees?
Last week, we noticed that Clover had not been going to the bathroom fully (no #2) for a couple days. She was hiding under the bed, and not real excited about eating dinner. I called the vet as they were closing and scheduled an appointment for her the next day. They said to take her to the 24-hour emergency clinic if she was acting really lathargic, but at that moment, she was wrestleing with Thomas, so I figured she wasn’t in a critical condition.
Thomas took her in the next morning, and the vet decided to keep her all day for some tests. She got x-rays, a blood test, an enema, a couple prescriptions, and racked up a fairly large bill. I picked her up that afternoon, and the doctor had shaved her entire behind – atleast not too many tail feathers were missing.
Thomas took her back to the vet a couple days later because she still wasn’t feeling top-notch. They figured that one of the prescriptions wasn’t agreeing with her. They modified that prescription, gave her some high-fiber dog food, and sent her on her way. She seems to be feeling better now. Maybe it’s because her doctor suggested skipping her rabies shot. But, she did remind us that Clover needs to get her teeth cleaned as soon as her behind is all better.
Sunday was my 28th birthday, and it was great! I heard from friends near and far, my family, my future-family, and even a couple people who came out of the shadows to wish me Happy Birthday. Thanks everyone! To celebrate, Thomas organized dinner with a few of our local friends at Joe’s Crab Shack. I can’t believe 18 people showed up. It was alot of fun and hopefully, he’ll post photos soon.
It was also a productive weekend. I finished painting the master bedroom, and we picked the bus up from the shop. Yay, it runs again. At the last minute, I was invited to Jane’s Bridal shower, so while I was there, Thomas planted some burning bushes and forsythia in the backyard and bundled sticks.
Sunday afternoon, we scouted out Stone Mountain as an engagement photo location for this next weekend. We decided to go with it due to the openess and various photo possibilites. Thomas was weirded out by another couple doing engagement photos there – I didn’t know uniqueness was so important to him, especially since our photographer recommended the site after doing two other couples’ photos there.
Then we headed to Phipps Mall so I could get my birthday present – a good quality bra – at Intimacy. Intimacy is a store known for their custom sizing, and resizing of bras. They use European sizes and measure you by sight, but they claim a good bra will support you and not excentuate backfat. You can have the bra altered two times after purchasing it and if the straps lose elasticity, they’ll replace them.
As I suspected, I was wearing the wrong size. They say most women are wearing the wrong size. I was surprised that the underwire is not supposed to touch the breast, and how low on my back the strap is. The bras I picked out needed a little alteration (which they do for free), so I should get them in the mail next week.
After that, we headed to the group dinner.
