Friday June 8th we went to a huge rummage sale! I saw it on FB and it was a large garage full of stuff. Come to find out Jeff used to work with the lady who was having the sale. She was interesting and I say that in a good way. She was a talker! Lol! I let them talk as I looked around. It was fun. I found three things that I liked. 

Isn’t this cool?! This was five dollars and I crown this the best find! I am giving this to April. She loves wolves.

Then I found these. The bigger one is going to April and the smaller one is going to Helen.  For the both of them five dollars. So I spent ten dollars and got some cool stuff!

I was at Walmart and picked up this:

Okay this is a felt project for beginners and even comes with a hoop. It was about five dollars and I thought easy enough plus I get a hoop.

WRONG! This is a WTF?! Project. There is supposed to be a holes punched in the fabric and the whole owl part didn’t have any holes punched in the fabric. It was a hard on my fingers to punch the holes in the needle. It was lame but I finished it.

As anyone can tell it’s not like the pic but whatever. I am still going to put in on the wall. It’s artsy right? Lol!

Saturday I got a new fitness tracker. My fitbit bit the dust. I actually miss wearing it because I like I can tell the time and steps. So I got a different brand and so far I am happy with it. It’s called Letsfit paid 30 dollars for it. Fitness trackers can be expensive and I thought the Fitbit was going to last longer. Yeah it didn’t and for the band to wear like that they should have some kind of replacement for it.  The Letsfit is awesome! The band comes apart and that is how it is charged. Just put it in the computer. Don’t have to worry about a cord. I thought that was cool! I can also receive text messages and know when a call is coming in. I won’t use this feature but that’s cool. It also tells me the temperature outside. I got it in blue of course.

Something dumb. I hurt my back and it sucks! I think I pulled a muscle on Friday. Not sure when I did it but Friday night I was complaining my back felt sore. The next day I couldn’t move all that much. It still hurts. Like every time when I want to get moving on fitness I get hurt. Not sure why that is that way but it feels like it.

Blog I have been lazy to write in you. Ugh. Okay not being lazy today. Let’s see….

Last Saturday June 1st my parents went to Sun Drop Dayz. We went never been there and it was okay. The time we got there most of the vendors were gone. My mom was mad! Mad at my dad because she wanted to leave early to see the vendors but dad wanted to watch a game on TV. Lol! Anyway they wanted to see The Cougars who are a band that plays a variety of cover songs. Dad told me he is obsessed with them. I thought that was funny. Anyway when we got there the sky was really dark. As soon as The Cougars started playing it started to rain but just sprinkling. They get to the third song it started to pour! I got soaked! We left then went out eat. I had to eat in my wet clothes that part sucked but it was nice to hang out with my parents.

Unfortunately my sister’s dog passed away Red. He was a cool dog. I am glad I got to see him at Mother’s Day. He was so gentle and calm. Red was 14.  I am just going to say this. I hated how my sister and brother in law would compare Red to Koko, always. Like we would talk about Koko and say he was slowing down and then Andy would say well Red is this many years older than Koko. Seriously that doesn’t matter. Each dog like each person is different regardless of age. That always bothered me. Anyway it’s sad when they die. I still miss Koko and I think I always will.

I am not done yet but I made more dolls! Of course I can’t stop making them they are fun. I am going to try to make superhero dolls. Father’s day is coming up and I made dad, Adam and I. When I’m all done I will show.

On Wednesday I met my friend Sam’s wife. All I have to say is AWKWARD! They both came over to pick up some shelves. After meeting her who she seems like a nice lady and I know it’s me, it was still awkward.  Maybe for all the new people I meet I should wear a tag that says “Hi my name is Danielle and I am socially awkward.” Sam and I had a conversation not too long ago and I told him. I am shy when I meet new people. He said you’re not around me and I said remember when we first met I was. Oh yeah he says.

What I learned through the years is test the waters. See if the person has the same sense humor and see what their attitude is. I used to be a little more adventurous but I learned the hard way there are people who aren’t sarcastic like me or have the same sense of humor. So the 35 year old Danielle is more shy because I rather have person test me out first then me. To avoid someone getting mad or taking things the wrong way. This way as I get more comfortable around them then I will open up more. I just find this is better than the other way around. I am sure Sam’s wife Penny thought I was awkward as well. Ugh I am dreading a cookout that Sam and Jeff want to do at Sam’s house. Oh well.

This weekend we are going to look at colors to do our kitchen. We are DIY our kitchen! Fun? No but it will be better than it does now. It’s summer!!!!

Friday mom and I went to a lot of rummage sales and it was fun. It was a nice day and hot out.

I have a funny story! So we go to this rummage sale with this elderly man. We are looking around and mom comes across this pineapple thing. The old man says “Pick it up.” So my mom does and she says “What is this?” And he says “I don’t know really.” It’s accordion out and it was a strange thing however as it pulls out it breaks apart and breaks. The old man says “Oh no!” Mom put it down quickly. We looked around and then left quickly. LOL!!!! That old man gave my mom such an evil look. He told her to pick it up, right?! My mom wasn’t going to pick it up at all. When we got in the car I was cry laughing!

The next day Jeff and I were at my parent’s house and I told my dad the story. We all were laughing so hard! My dad was surprised my mom didn’t give him the dollar he wanted for that thing. OMG it was so funny.

I found some cool things at the rummage sale my prize a Packer hat for 5 dollars!

The strange thing I found was an old liquor holder and glasses for 2 dollars!

It’s been a week since Koko died and it has been tough. I have to say it’s been really tough for Scotty. He slowly starting to act like himself but we have noticed now he is scared of EVERYTHING! He has always been scared of a lot of stuff but I think Koko made him braver since Koko is not here he has been more scared of things. It really sucks and we are unsure if he will become more confident over time or just be scared all the time. Only time will tell I think.

We are finally getting a new bathroom! They are starting tomorrow and soon we have not a moldy bathroom. It’s exciting!

What’s not exciting is this weekend is Mother’s Day. Already there is conflict. Of course sister-in-law wants to go to a restaurant which will be super busy AND expensive. The reason why she wants this because it’s go out to eat then everyone leave which I can see that. However if that is what they are going to do, we are not coming. Too expensive for us. We decided if that is what everyone is going to do we will celebrate Mother’s Day with mom the day before which happens to be Saturday. I am not giving into going to a restaurant thing. Mom wants to have it at Chrissy’s house which we could do that means we only have to bring something and spend time with oh I don’t know mom which is what the day is all about anyways.

I made two dolls for mom and then we are going to get her some flowers.

Yesterday I got to spend 3 hours at the ER. I wanted to go to Urgent Care but they sent me to the ER instead. I have been having terrible pain in my back and it went to the side. Touching my side would send a wave a pain! They made me pee in a cup that took a little over a half an hour to get results. I was in the clear. Then they tell me I must have strained a muscle in my back and it localized itself to my side.

The solution inject two shots in my butt! OMG! They gave me a shot of a muscle relaxer and Ibuprofen. Before she does that she tells me both shots will give me a burning sensation. It was like sitting in fire! I had to wait 20 minutes which seemed like forever for the shots to take affect. Then they say it will last up to 3 to 4 hours. I can say it lasted 2 an a half hours. Now my injection site hurts worst than my muscle strain.

However at least this time I had very nice people looking after me. You know me! I usually get the grumpy people or the doctors who are unfriendly. But no this time so I am grateful for that.
