My Sister's Getting Married!!

June 22, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: family | Leave a Comment


Today I spent most of the day with my mom and sister while she did her registry at Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond. I never knew how long such a thing would take, but I guess if you need to go and pick out all these items and scan them and really think about what you want and need…it would take a while. She registered for some really nice things. I hope she gets a lot of what she’s asking for.

Her wedding is going to be in October and her shower is in September. My mom, sister and I are throwing her shower. The theme will be cute and I’m sure she will like it and be surprised!

She met her fiance in December I think and they were engaged in March I think she said. It’s a bit fast for my tastes, but I’ve always heard that when you know, you know. And my best friend did the same thing…in fact, when she told me she was engaged I had to ask “to who” because I thought she was dating a totally different person at the time! haha My friend, not my sister. LOL

The guy she’s marrying is a great guy and I’m very happy for the both of them. He really seems to love her and she’s SO different now. In a good way though. It’s totally like night and day. Amazing what finding love will do to a person.

Her wedding dress is going to be a Renaissance style dress and her fiance is Scottish so he will be wearing a kilt. My nephew will be the ring bearer. Her girls will also have the same style dresses as she will I think. Not sure about his guys…will they wear kilts or not. hmm lol Her ring is a claddagh with a sapphire in it. I’m sure it’s pretty. They are having a sort of celtic theme too.

The wedding is gonna be up north on his parents’ property. I guess it’s on a river or canal or something. It should be very pretty with the fall colors and everything. It’s going to be casual and I will be taking hundreds of photos! We’re going to be bringing the dogs with us to stay in the hotel. I don’t trust anyone to give Topaz his meds and I really don’t have anyone to watch them while we’re gone. So we will be making a weekend out of it. It should be nice.

Anyway…I just wanted to write a bit about my sister’s wedding!

What fruit am I?

June 21, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: life | Leave a Comment

Well, I wanted to be a pear…but you know these online tests don’t lie and are 100% accurate…so I must be a banana! haha


You Are a Banana


You are mellow, easy going, and a total softie on the inside.

People find it really easy to get along with you. You suit most tastes.

And while you’re very sweet, you’re not boring or ordinary.

You have an attraction to the exotic, and you could show up anywhere… doing almost anything!

You are spirited, energetic, and a total kick to be around.

You’re also quite funny. Your sense of humor is on the goofy side, and it fits you well.

What Type of Fruit Are You?

Cocoa Mulch is TOXIC to Dogs

June 20, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: zoo | Leave a Comment

Snopes says it’s true:

http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/cocoamulch.asp

Cocoa Mulch, which is sold by Home Depot, Foreman’s Garden Supply and other Garden supply stores, contains a lethal ingredient called ‘Theobromine’.

It is lethal to dogs and cats. It smells like chocolate and it really attracts dogs. They will ingest this stuff and die. Several deaths already occurred in the last 2-3 weeks. Just a word of caution: check what you are using in your gardens and be aware of what your gardeners are using in your gardens.

Theobromine is the ingredient that is used to make all chocolate especially dark or baker’s chocolate which is toxic to dogs.

Cocoa bean shells contain potentially toxic quantities of theobromine, a xanthine compound similar in effects to caffeine and theophylline. A dog that ingested a lethal quantity of garden mulch made from cacao bean shells developed severe convulsions and died 17 hours later. Analysis of the stomach contents and the ingested cacao bean shells revealed the presence of lethal amounts of theobromine.
