A photoshoot and a trip to the hospital...

You remember me saying yesterday that I was doing Megan's senior pictures today? Well I did, but not before taking LaVaughn to the hospital...

LaVaughn went to her doctor a couple weeks ago for an ear infection -- also for having a big lump behind her ear. Her doctor put her on amoxicillin for 10 days and said if that didn't help, she'll need to be seen again.

Well the antibiotics didn't help at all and the lump was still there - another lump also joined the party. She called them today and asked if they could call her in a stronger antibiotic, but the nurse told her that it could be her mastoid and that she needed to go to the ER to get a CT scan. 

It didn't take us long to get dressed and head out the door.

My aunt and uncle came not 10 minutes after we got there and stayed the duration of the day. Since I had already made a promise to Megan, I decided that since family was there with LaVaughn, it would be okay if I drove from Farmington to Ironton to do her shoot. 

Luckily it wasn't LaVaughn's mastoid, but her lymph nodes instead. They were severely swollen due to a sever ear infection that never cleared up. Around the time they got released from the ER I was finishing up with Megan's pictures. They had to go to the pharmacy to get her meds, which game me time to finish everything up and drop Megan by her house. 

They made it to McDonald's to drop LaVaughn off 5 minutes before me, which wasn't bad.

All in all it was a VERY successful day with a great outcome in the end (with LaVaughn). I was super stressed. I've managed to go through some of the 975 pictures of Megan that I took and have a handful of them that I'm going to share. I'll keep most of them private for her, but I must share SOME of them with you all. Until next time...

Love & Peace

Here are just a FEW of the pics that I took of Megan today. Not bragging, but I think her senior pics turned out really, really well!

Happy Walking Dead Day!

Technically it's Easter, but to me is WALKING DEAD DAY!! Woot woot!! We didn't do anything huge this year, as far as dinner goes. It was just me, LaVaughn, my aunt, and uncle. See, not much. And we didn't even technically have "dinner", it was mainly us stopping by and getting food to go.

We did end up going to town today, which was very exciting for me -- I got a new pair of scissors!! My old ones kicked the bucket Thursday and as you know, I badly need those for work.

Surprisingly that wraps up my day. Well, until The Walking Dead comes on, anyways.

Tomorrow will be slightly different, tomorrow I'm doing someone's senior pictures! It helps that it's not a complete stranger, but someone I used to work with at McDonald's. I promised her last fall that I would do her pictures, I just never got the opportunity. I'm SUPER excited, but also a tad nervous. I'm still really looking forward to it, though.

I guess that's all for now. Time for a little Dying Light before TWD! :D

Gorgeous chocolate strawberry cupcakes!

Off to Ohio...

LaVaughn and I met up with Christina in Arnold today to drop off our little TPM boy, Dale. He's getting shipped Friday to his new mama that lives all the way over in Ohio. I'm not okay with this, I already miss him like crazy. Not to mention he was a complete ANGEL all day and didn't make one peep. Even when I trimmed his nails. That is so not cool!

Since we decided to leave at 3, that left us nearly 4 hours to get there with loads of time to spare. We stopped off and Joann's to buy some fleece, but there wasn't really anything on sale, so we didn't stay there too long. We headed to Walmart after that and did some pretty heavy grocery shopping. We found so any different vegan meats, it was insane! Since this was all in Festus, guess where we're going to be shopping from now on?

I was pleasantly surprised when we got home, our Series 3 Walking Dead POP! Funko collectibles had arrived! I nearly forgot that I ordered them, so you can imagine how happy I was. Now we only need series 4 and 6 -- I'm SO on the hunt now!

Well I guess that's all for now. Time to play some Dying Light and enjoy the rest of the night...

Love & Peace

The Walking Dead Series 3 POP! Funko!

Smoke on the water -- fire in the sky??

The titles for my blog rings true today. There was some type of smoke filling the sky and surrounding woods this evening. Not sure why, considering I don't know anyone in my town so there was no one to ask. My aunt might possibly know, I need to call her. But anyways, I don't really know what to think of it. It's almost like a forest fire. And the smell, oh gods, the smell!

I tried to get some decent pictures of what it looked like, but that didn't work AT all! I ended up settling for some pictures of the sunset on the lake and of Max.

In other news, I sewed a set today in hopes of selling it today. Our Suggie Planter Buckets arrived today from the lady that we thought was our rival. Her buckets are very different from ours, so I don't think there's much competition to be had. She's also super nice, she even friend requested me on Facebook, as well as asked for advice -- we're all good, basically.

I don't think that I've mentioned this, but we're meeting Christina in Arnold tomorrow with Dale, who will be shipped Friday to Detroit. His new mama lives in Ohio, but the Toledo Airport doesn't allow for United Pet Safe to be shipped to them, which is weird. Anyways, that's the plan for tomorrow.

I guess that's all for now. Until next time...

Love & Peace

Love, love, love this set! Too bad I screwed up on one of the pouches. That was a first for me.

Can you see the haze in the forest?

It was smokey and creepy everywhere.

The road leads to nowhere. Actually it leads home.

Well hello there, Fletcher.

The lake was quite beautiful, even with the haze.

Max is a loon.

Here are the Suggie Planter Buckets:

Countdown to The Walking Dead...

I thought I would take a minute to update a bit while I'm waiting on tonight's episode of The Walking Dead. SPOILER!!! Denise dies tonight and she gets Abraham's comic book death. That is all.

Lets see, Friday at work was so sloooow! Oh man, there was like no one after 5:00, which I loved. I was also able to get like 6 copies of the paper while I was there. Why, you ask? Well because my gorgeous Milla is in the Mountain Echo Cutest Critter Contest!! We're sending in votes in basically everyone's name in hopes that she wins.

Friday night Bonnie informed me that I would be closing by myself Saturday night, which I did. Friday's close went well, so I wasn't too worried about it. I honestly think I did pretty good. I'm actually looking forward to more days of closing alone.

Today has been pretty boring. I cut out a cage set today that I'm going to sew tomorrow. I didn't feel like sewing today. I almost did, but I decided against it. I'll save that for tomorrow and the next day.

Well I guess that's all. The Walking Dead is drawing nigh, time for last minute coffee!

Love & Peace
