Day 118: The Dogosaur

This afternoon I went to the Franklin Main Street Festival. This dog looks more like a small horse! He is a 3 year old great dane weighing in at 130 lbs. I didn't get his name because the owner started looking annoyed about all the attention.

Day 117: Reflection-les

Some mornings Preston and I are woken up to the sound of Waffles scratching down the wall. She does this thing when cars pass by where she will chase the reflection down the wall and try to catch it. So cute but annoying at the same time. Cute wins every time.

Day 116: Stormy Weather

Today we had some pretty bad weather here in Middle Tennessee. Preston took this picture from our bedroom window while I was at work.  Two tornados were spotted in Franklin.

Day 115: Omni Hut

Tonight Preston and I went to eat at the Omni Hut. A really adorable and really old Polynesian restaurant in Smyrna.

Day 114: Welcome Mason James

Today my best friend finally had her baby boy Mason James almost a whole week late. 8 lbs 8 oz 20 1/2 inches. Such a cutie!

Day 113: Preston Holland-Dog Sitter

So this week Preston is helping me out with some of our pet jobs. Here he is with little Miss Lexi. He's a pro.

Day 112: Turkey in the Road

I was driving to work this morning and came up on a wild turkey in the road with his tail feathers up. It got out if the street before I snapped the photo. I wanted to watch it for a while but someone drove up behind me so I had to go.

Day 111: Ziggy and Lilu

Meet Ziggy and Lilu, my newest little pet clients.

Day 110: Red Velvet Pancakes

Tonight I tried some of the new red velvet pancakes at the new ihop on Hwy 96. They are alright but were not what I expected. At least my server was nice.

Day 109: Waffles' Stripy Shadow Ear

Today Waffles was sitting one of the end tables getting some sun. It wasn't until I looked closer at this pic later that I noticed the shadow from the blinds making her ear all stripy.

Day 108: Our New Neighbors

Today I noticed we've had some new neighbors move in behind us recently.  It look as if they have been there a while but for some reason or another I'm just now noticing.  It's a huge family and I'm starting to worry now if they might take over our back porch.  Meet our new neighbors....

Day 107: Dinosaur Friend

Today we had a little friend helping us out at the front desk.  I think maybe some little kid may have dropped it and it was returned to the front desk. 

Day 106: Nothing

Today I did absolutely nothing worth taking a picture for.  Sorry to be so boring on this day.

Day 105: Fruity Pebble Treats

Preston's co-workers are going to be so happy tomorrow!

Day 104: Apple Tree Update

I realized I have not posted anything about the apple trees lately.  Last time I watered them I noticed there are little tiny aphid thingies living in the dirt.  Ew.  They are getting taller and taller every day!  I'm thinking I need to replant them before all their roots get tangled and whatnot.

Day 103: Nutella Hot Chocolate

Tonight I was sitting at the house wanting something chocolate and not feeling like getting out to get it.  I remembered we have some Nutella, and I saw once on Pinterest or something that you can melt it into some hot milk and make hot chocolate.  It was delicious!

Day 102: Mom's New Oven

I want to apologize for my extreme laziness when it comes to this blog lately.  There are some days when I really just don't feel like doing it.  There are also some days when there are just not any photo opps, and I'm left scrambling for a photo at the end of the day.  Then I just have to pick something to photograph like today, I picked my Mom's new oven.

Day 101: Rest in Peace Uncle Baby

Today is a sad day for the Hollands.  I am sad to report my in-laws' kitten Baby has lost his battle with FIP.  You may remember the post titled Day 24: Meet Uncle Baby, where I told about my in-laws' new Ragdoll kitten and how he had been diagnosed with FIP or Feline Infectious Peritonitis.  We have known for a few weeks now that his condition was getting worse and he would have to be put to sleep.  Rest in peace Baby, you will be missed.

Day 100!

I wish I would have had something more fun for the 100th 365 Photo Blog but it was a rather uninteresting day so here's Darby in all her sleepy cuteness.

Day 99: Easter!

So the mystery photo from yesterday was a picture of a fun Easter basket idea I came up with for Preston.  I made a Manly Easter Basket for a Grown Man.  I got him a new messenger bag, a new shirt and a bag of his favorite chips along with some of his favorite cookies.  I used the bag as the basket and the shirt as the grass and stuffed the other stuff inside.  He loved it!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Day 98: Mystery Photo Part One

Today's photo will remain a mystery until tomorrow when it will be safe to reveal the whole picture.  The most important thing I did today was work on a little last minute project for someone, and it needs to be delivered before I can post the real pic of it.  So for now this is what you get.....

To be continued..............

Day 97: I Feel so Loved....and Missed

Today at work, like 5 minutes before I was about to leave I heard someone come in asking for me.  It was one of my favorite Starbucks regulars! She and her sister an mother and all their kids and neices and nephews were always such a joy to help at Starbucks.  What a nice surprise when she came in to the hotel today to bring me a little Easter bag with some chocolate bunnies in it.  I just have to say I feel so loved and missed and will always think of Starbucks as a place where I was able to be myself and make a ton of friends who I will always know now.  It's just good to know people are still thinking about me even though I'm not working there anymore.  It tells me I must have made some sort of positive impact on some people and that makes me feel so good about myself.

Day 96: My First Fat Moe's Experience

Today I had my first Little Moe and it was delicious! P talks about Fat Moe's all the time and now I finally got to try it.  I can't believe I'm just going there today.  It is so good.  I just had Pres pose in front of the menu.

Day 95: Parents' New Kitchen

Preston and I are watching Darby again while my parents are in FL.  They are also in the process of getting their kitchen remodeled and we are kind of supervising the work while they are away.  This is a picture of the new granite counter tops. 

Day 94: Killer Sinus Headache Dizziness Attack

Alright! So a couple of days ago I started waking up with this tremendous feeling of dizziness and couldn't quite figure out why.  I guess I've been a little stopped up but I didn't think it would have anything to do with that.  Until last night when I got the worst sinus headache of my entire life and almost couldn't drive. Well I got to my parents' house where P and I are taking care of Darby and it all just hit me really hard.  Massive headache behind my nose, ears and forehead.  Extreme nausea and dizziness.  Preston is such a good husband for taking such good care of me.  He even started googling all my symptoms and found out I probably have a case of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, and some pretty mean allergies.  Here I am planted next to the toilet wrapped in a towel because I'm freezing.  I never got sick but every time I sat on the couch or somewhere I'd feel like I was going to so I just stayed in there.  Sorry this may be a little TMI but it is one of the most interesting things that happened today.

Day 93: Decorating

Today I hung some pictures up in our bedroom.  Pres has been wanting to hang these back up but I have been waiting to find the perfect place and I found it today.  I'm not sure exactly how Waffles seems to end up in so many pics.  LOL!

Day 92: Amazon Birthday Money

My parents gave me a $25 Amazon credit for my birthday and I decided to use it on some things I've wanted for a while now.  A knife and a thing called a Kubotan used for jabbing an assailant to stun them and try to get away.  It also makes a unique looking key chain.  Best part is they are both pink! I can't wait till they get here.

Day 91: Catching Fire

Tonight I finished reading Catching Fire, the second book in the Hunger games triolgy.  I am serioulsy loving these books.
