Busy Monday yesterday..........

I called insurance yesterday and found out I get a "free" bone scan with no deductible and the weather looks good to go to Mountain Home on Friday!  Lucky me!  I always check the cost as I don't want any surprises! LOL!  I also called the vet and they were open so I made a little list for Walmart as long as we were going that way.  I tried to get some work done first in the morning as once I go out and do errands I am always "toast" when I get home.  Nothing tires me out like shopping and driving.
I got my comforter washed and out on the line.  I tried using some tools I had to pry up the carpet strips but it was not working well so I knew I would have to buy a special tool at Walmart.  Karen commented on my blog that she used a Wonder Bar by Stanley but when I looked at them at Walmart it seemed a bit large for what I needed so I picked up these 2 instead.   I also need to take staples out so I'm hoping this will work well.  
  While I was at Walmart I picked up a little Mother's Day treat for myself............I couldn't resist since this Towhead beer was made at Mother's Brewing Company! LOL!
I also grabbed some organic greens when I saw them and ingredients to make a pizza when I got home.  It's rare that Walmart has organic so when I see it I buy it!
Nitty and I got to the vet (I brushed her good before I left so she would look pretty) and they were all happy to see her and she was in her glory!  I think they like her because she's so well behaved and never even flinches no matter what they do to her.  She got her allergy shot and I picked up Frontline Plus for her and Annie.....it was only $106.00.  Yikes!  The allergy shot is only $20.00 but the Frontline plus is a 4 month supply with buy 3 get 1 free so I did.  Last month I bought the Heartgard.  But my girls are worth every penny!  I do have to use the ramp for Nitty now to get in and out of the SUV.  She's got arthritis and can't jump in like she used to.  She and Annie are 14 going on 15 in August.  Annie's back has been hurting her this week.  I can tell when she hesitates going up and down the steps.  I bought the ramp when my other dog was getting too old to jump in the car and now Nitty is using it.  It was a wise investment.  It folds up and stays in the back of my Tahoe.  I may have to devise another wooden ramp for them to get up and down the stairs when they go out.  Old age is not for the weak!
When I got home I fed the girls and made a homemade pizza.........it went great with the Towhead beer! 
There was no  grout cleaning or closet work or even knitting or crocheting.  I ate supper, watched DWTS and then read and it was lights out!  Hopefully today I will make some progress on all my projects.
Are any of you watching DWTS?  Who are you rooting for?  I was pleased with the 2 that got booted off last night but there are at least 4 or 5 that I like so it will be hard to chose!
Happy Trails!

  1. I'm glad your cat had a successful check out and the ramp helps her. Poor baby. I haven't watched DWTS since Rumer Willis won. The contestants have to grab my attention or have me relate somehow. I watch a season sporadically.

    1. Stefanie...the ramp is needed because she's 100 lb Rottweiller! LOL! A cat I could pick up! LOL! The knot bag pattern was just a free pattern... I googled it and they are on Pinterest too.

  3. Your pizza looks yummy. I am watching DWTS also. I like almost everyone that is left. There are 2 that will not break my heart when they leave. It has been a pretty good season.

    1. I really admire the weather gal, the boxing gal, the deaf model and the guy from Boys to Men...so sorry...I can't remember their names.

  4. We have those bars and boy do they come in handy for lots of projects! The pizza looks great! I like mine like that but the hubby prefers it on a pizza pan all round and perfect.
    I am rooting for Ginger Z because she started her career in Chicago.

  5. I fell asleep during the last ten minutes of DWTS so I will have to go back to my DVR and watch the end again! I like Ginger and Paige and the deaf guy cannot remember his name. Yes dogs are expensive but worth it! :)

  6. I'm glad Nitty had a good Vet visit. I need to take our Chloe for her yearly exam later this month. It IS expensive but our babies are worth it aren't they. You have such a busy, busy life. I get tired just reading all that you accomplish in a day. That pizza looks yummy. We had homemade pizza last night too at a friends house for a birthday dinner for their son. He and our son have been best friends since 5 years old. Have a lovely day!
    Blessings,
