Favorite Animal: that would have to be brand new puppies.....speaking of puppies, hubs and I were talking about dogs last night. Macey will never be replaced in my heart, but I need to move one. I didn't get enough feed back the first time from you all, Will a new puppy fill my empty wounds from Macey...should I try to get a new one?? If I do what kind do u suggest??

I did NOT

The Dr. Specialist appointment went well. I fell in love with him!!! He is a joker but very serious about his work. If anyone needs a good doc in the St.Louis area, he is an answer to your prayers! He was pleased with my doctor here and thinks she is wonderful.....that makes me feel good! Basically he ran a couple more test, looked me over and suggested a couple things for baby making. He thinks myself and my body are completely normal..woohoo..and hopes the third time is a charm! I could go on and on about the appointment but nobody wants to hear that. So overall I was pleased with the visit..I am not some alien trying to make a baby just someone who had a couple mishaps along the way! We are praying for the next baby making series to work, if NOT, then he will try more aggressive treatments.

My friend Michelle, always does a fun post about what she did NOT do..in reality these are all things she has done. I thought I would give it a try!

I did NOT sit on my couch last night for 3 and a half hours glued to nonsense T.V. when my house is dirty. I would never do that. I did NOT drive 85 all the way to St.Louis worrying I would be late, when I was 45 mins early. I did NOT have a bad attitude all day yesterday because I cant' drink soda or tea, no way not me. I did NOT turn on every light in my house last night because I am so scared to stay by myself. I did NOT eat everything in site at Jack-in the-Box even though I have been trying to eat better. Not me! I did NOT almost die because I was away from my computer for one day wondering what everyone would blog about. No..I couldn't be that addicted. I did NOT buy an awesome pair of shoes that weren't cheap and that were not in the budget. My will power is out the door folks! I did NOT eat almost all of the girl scout cookies...yummm...

What have you NOT done lately?

Personal Day

Its a personal day for me, no racing to beat the clock, no getting my morning coffee at work, no making a list of things to do at work.....ahhhh a personal day. Hubby and I are off to St.Louis to see Mr. Specialist (this will be the new name for my fertility specialist). Our appointment is not until 1:00, so this gives me time for coffee, relaxation, prayers and of course Regis and Kelly! There is nothing better than not being rushed in the mornings...heck I might even through in a load of laundry. If I am very very lucky and the appointment is over early, I might talk Hubby into stopping at one little shopping store?? A big fat MAYBE here! I hope to report back tomorrow with good...no Great news! Either way I will let you know how it all goes.....and don't forget a small prayer for me that everything turns out how I am hoping it too! Say a prayer hubby lets me shop a little too :)

FAT Tuesday

I say FAT literally....McD's double cheeseburger, large fries, sweet tea, birthday cake and the day isn't even half way over!!! If I am fasting all day tomorrow (well kinda) then I must stuff myself to the max today right?? Ok ok...my obligations to Lent have changed a bit. But I have a great reason...I think. So I am still giving up sweet tea and all soda, but I am not ready to give up beer. I know this sounds horrible and many of you are asking "Why not give up beer too"? Well, our trip to Vegas(b/c beer is alot cheaper than mixed drinks) and hopefully we can baby make soon and I will consume a little beer before that all begins. There....I am not an alcoholic, I have reason dang it.



Ok, in other news. Remember most of family is stationed in Louisiana for work right now. Well what is the big news in Louisiana right now...MARDI GRAS! Craziness bascily. So they all traveled home for Liam's second birthday this weekend so none of them enjoyed the festivities. A group of my little brothers friends stayed in Louisiana for the experience and guess who they saw drinking at a bar.....

Hello Dave Matthews. Now to truly understand this story you have to know that my younger brother (who left his friends to return home) is probably one of the biggest fans of his ever. Ever CD he owns, all tee-shirts and so forth. He has been a fan since grade school I believe. His first Dave concert was with me when he was maybe 13?? He is crazy about him...he would have fainted I believe. YES...you never know when you need to pack your camera or when you will see a star....talk about the wrong place at the wrong time. His friends wont let me live it down either!

Here is me looking HAPPY

I promised a Happy blog and by gosh I am sticking to it! The sun is shining (still 30 degrees) and I woke up in a good mood. I got plenty of rest last night and I am determined to have a great week! This weekend went too fast but we did have some good times. The highlight of the weekend was Liam's second birthday. I can't wait to upload pics because he was precious!!! Having all the family in one small space was fun as well. Yes alcohol is important at a 2 year olds birthday, thats why we have such a great time.

Macey is still missing and hope is almost gone. Now the question for fellow animal lovers. What is the next step? She either had a run in with coyotes in the woods or someone is loving her as their new pet ( I am betting on the woods, b/c with a reward offered someone would have returned her). So...would a new dog heal my heart? Should we adobt a dog and if Macey returns 2 dogs are better than one? A new dog will not cure me at all, but loving another animal might ease the pain? What are your suggestions?

This week brings Ash Wednesday. With that being said I have 2 more days to drink carbination. Yes..I am giving up all carbinate drinks for lent. God help me have strenth to turn down every Dt. Coke and beer I see. I take pride in my Catholic religion and I embrase lent by always giving up something I dearly love. This year I have really pushed my limits. I will have coffee, water, and wine occasionaly for the next 40 days. I might mix it up with a vodka and orange juice if I dare to be crazy. I know this might sound easy to some, but it just might be the dealth of me. I am doing this for mine good though, I really drink zero water throughout the day...straight from coffee to sweet tea or Dt. Coke ( I realize sweet tea isn't carbinated but I am giving it up as well) Hopefully this well help me be better to my body.

With Fat Tuesday on its way tomorrow I can't wait to eat everything in sight and drink tons and tons of soda and sweet tea until I can't sleep because my stomach is turning circles!

Beer, Wine and The Captain

This week has been hard, usually I am a 2 a day type blogging person, but this week has been diffucult.

Still no Macey, we have had many calls but you wouldn't believe the people that can get a Yellow Lab and a pit bull mixed up. No it hasnt' been that bad, but people really have no idea what a yellow lab looks like? But at least I got phone calls right.

Second, this week would have been the week that the first miscarriage baby would have been born. Never thought it would affect me the way it is but it is has.

My niece Kailee has been fighting the sickness the last couple of weeks and we need everyone to say a special prayer for her

My hair appt was fun, but I promise I didnt' do anything drastic to my hair. It looks the same as uaual..blonde and medium length( some of you were curious)

So, this is where the beer, wine or Captain Morgan come into effect. This week (I promise I am not an alcoholic but I am honest to all of you) alcohol was needed...very needed and I drank!!!! I need it!

So..when I come back Monday this blog will be nothing but happy thoughts and happy blogs. I will have pictures of fun times and you guys will be saying "Wow, that Kara...what fun she is" I know this blog entry is sappy, but coming Monday I am back to my happy business. Thanks for listening.

Sporadic

I may seem to be a little sporadic in the last couple of day but a lot has been going on I guess.....

• We had a couple hits on finding Macey..nothing has been positive though. We have a couple more places to check for Macey and then the search will be over :(
• My office has been full of energy lately....lots of jokes, and good girl time which leaves me to less time on my computer.
• My grandpa was in the hospital but is getting released today.
• Planning for our Vegas trip....we think we have the details all worked out
• Making doctors appointments. I decided to "consult" with a specialist..it can't hurt to hear what others thing about "baby making"
• Planning girls weekends...I have had lots of girl time lately and I am really enjoying all of it so why not make more plans.
• My whole family will be together this weekend for Liam's 2nd Bday..there is nothing quit like a KYLE get together
• I am Catholic so we will be preparing for Ash Wednesday and Lent soon...I think I have decided what I am giving up for God this year...let me tell you it wont be easy!
• I am getting my hair done tonight and plan on taking special beverages with me ( nothing is better than being able to drag alcohol to your hair dresser's) hopefully my hair will turn out OK after a couple beers.
• I am not an alcoholic (the above might sound like it) I just enjoy the time I am having right now and my life can be stressful with everyone sick, work, my dog, and baby making.

I hope to be back tomorrow with a more exciting post!
