Working in the yard when I should be working on school work. I am such a procrastinator!

We switched from Bright House cable to Direct TV today. I love it so far. We bought a new HDTV as well. We watched Gamer on it last night and I couldn't believe the difference!

Our new camera!!! I'm so excited. It is red.

Nice outfit...I love my tool belt. Just call me "Trina the Tool Woman".

I don't know why I keep gaining weight...

And last but not least, Bella. She has ADHD. Hyper ALL the time but EXTREMELY smart. She learned "down" and "twirl" in 10 minutes. She is a hugger and very sweet. She carries her rope around and sleeps with it every night.

Riley is our wanderer and protector. He has MAJOR anxiety when we leave. One evening we went to dinner and he broke out of the window. It took us 24 hours to find him. He is a lover and I am his girlfriend :). He watches me ALL the time. He lays in the bathroom while I take a shower just to be sure I am ok.

Braxton is my baby :). He is an 84 pound, pound puppy. He is solid muscle. He is an asshole to the other dogs but I love him. He LOVES to climb on the furniture. We have to put random objects on our furniture to keep him off. His nicknames are Cream Cheese and Fat Boy.

This is Rylan. She is our dog with 9 lives. She has been attacked 2 times by our other dogs (Sadie "smiley" and Braxton- to be introduced later). She ran in front of a car and was literally 2 inches away from getting hit. She is very sensitive and knows when one of us doesn't feel well. Toni's sister adopted her from SPCA and some way we ended up with her. She is 100% tomboy. Her orginal name was "Chanel"...hahaha.

Lexi Grace is our "special" dog. She forgets everything within seconds so we call her Dorie (from Finding Nemo). She is a mastiff/hound mix. She weighs about 72 pounds. She is definitely our lover.

Introducing: Sadie Mae. She is a red-nose pit mix. Notice the cage. She must be separated from the others except Sebastian. She tried to eat one of the dogs about two years ago. We call her "Smiley" because of her under bite. She is VERY well behaved except for the attacking other dogs thing.

I know I said I was going to introduce all of our kids this week BUT I started grad school today and I wanted to share the massive amounts of information that I received tonight. Oh and the note and text I received from my sweets this morning. The first thing I saw this morning was a note on the mirror in the bathroom written in blue dry erase marker. It said "Good Luck at school baby. I am so proud of you." I got a text about 8am that said...well you can read it. I went to class tonight 5-9pm and the teacher overwhelmed me with assignments and exams. He said it best, "you are in grad school not nursery school." He is right. The part that kept me going today was that Toni is proud of me. I love her.

Since there are 7 days in a week and I have 7 dogs, I will take this week to introduce each of them. The eldest: Sebastian. He is a lab/chow mix. We call him old man because he is working on year 14. He has a hearing problem (either that or he is ignoring us).

My instructions were to "jump up like the Toyota commercial" to celebrate the completion of painting. It took us 4 times to actually get me in the air.

My dinner. It consists of bread, peanuts, celery w/ ranch, Uh Oh Oreos, strawberry applesauce and Cheez Doodles. This is what happens when you go to the grocery store hungry and come home too tired to cook.

Attack of the Panera bathroom door. You can't really see it in the picture but my finger was smashed in the bathroom door at Panera this evening. I told the manager and she offered me ice. I have a bruise under my nail. I hope my nail doesn't fall off. Stupid door!!

Remember I live in Lakeland, Florida. This is ridiculous!!!

One of the many pictures that Toni has taken of me while I sleep. She says I smack and raise my hand. I freak her out when I sit straight up, look at her and smile. She thinks I'm possessed.
