My wife asked me for a favor as she was at work today and I’m off. She asked me to please take Bebo, our Pom to the groomers. For some reason I thought she always asked them to cut him as short as possible and so that is what I told them as I dropped him off. Turns out, that’s not what she tells them and what we got is this…
BEFORE (on the right)
AFTER
I am guessing I will never be taking him to the groomers again.
My baby turned 3o on May 30th. To celebrate we went to St. Augustine for the weekend and then had a Birthday Dinner Celebration back home in Tallahasse. Here are some pics, the rest can be seen on my Facebook page.
Today I had the first Endodontist (specialize in root canals) appointment since 2005! I couldn’t believe it had been that long! I needed 3 root canals. I got one done, got half of the other done, and had one left. I still need a crown for the half done one but its just too darn expensive and I cant afford it. So I was having pain in the one that was left untreated and it was pretty bad. Hurt so bad it kept me up at night.
When I got there, they took and xray and then I waited for the doc. He walked in, looked at the xray, and said “uh oh, youre in trouble”. Not exactly what you want to hear your doc say!
Long story short, I have a severe infection under my gumline and to the root of my molar. I have to have surgery to remove the molar and clean the infection out. It sucks. What doesnt suck is that I am on some pretty freaking strong meds! Penicillin and Vicodin! Woohoo! Nah, all joking aside. I have a consult on April 13th and they’ll tell me then when the surgery is. Dont like this one bit!
So today I had quite the embarrassing moment! As many of you know, my job requires me to speak either French or Spanish 90% of my time, and so most of the writing I do is also in either language. Because of this, my word editor is mostly set to French. Usually this is not a problem when I type in English because my messages are short; today however, that changed.
A colleague put some papers in my box and sent me an email letting me know he had done so. I ran down to the main office, got the papers out of my box, and went back to the room. My intentions were to reply to his email simply saying: “Got it!”
I didn’t realize until I received his reply that my editor had automatically changed my reply to “Go tit!”
This weekend we drove to New Orleans, Louisiana to pick up a new car for Samuel Febres. As some of you may know, he totaled his car and needed a new one. We decided to make a weekend out of it and have some fun in New Orleans!! (I apologize in advanced for the pics that did not rotate)
On the streets you could see local artists, their work, and a whole lot of vendors.
The buildings and the architecture were pretty amazing as well!
And of course we had our stop at the famous “Cafe du Monde” for some coffee and Beignettes!!
Man, it was unbelievable!! MMMMMMMM
We also went to walk around Bourbon Street.
Christina tried on some of the Mardi Gras masks.
And of course I could not leave without this! The sad part is I didnt get any beads for showing my goods!!!
It was a great and fun weekend overall! You can see the whole picture album on my Facebook page!
This week the team is building a new home for the Kadzis Family, which includes a father with cancer and five physically challenged children adopted from China, their hurricane-damaged home will be rebuilt and modified in seven days to meet their special needs.
Here are the pictures from the hour or so we spent at the site:
As we arrived, we followed signs to park over a mile away from the actual house.
At the same parking site, they were also collecting canned goods and gift cards for the family.
They were using Limo Buses to transport spectators from the parking site to the house.
We ran into our friends Stephanie, Ross, Amy, and the kids. Ready for the adventure!
This also happened to be Aiden and Eli’s first bus ride!!
Arriving at the building site.
The house will be a 5 bedroom 4 bathroom monster! Cant wait to see it finished!
Once while there we saw the cameras going by as spectators yelled and waved.
Time-lapse cameras were set at different locations recording the action 24/7
