New Experiences: getting the carpet cleaned, Doing more than one load of laundry, Learned a part on the paino (a very mormon song called pop corn popping, no I do not play the piano)
There will probably be more new experiences for today but I am writing earlier in the day because I am trapped on the couch so the carpet guy can clean around us.
I crazy cleaned today. Franklin can attest to that!! I couldn't even see the floor in our spare bedroom and now everything is all picked up. I washed almost all of our laundry blacks, colors, towels, and sheets. I made our bed I picked up all of our stuff on the of our bed room. I put all the stuff that is suppose to be going to goodwill or deseret in my car. I vacuumed. Kitchen cleaned. washed the dishes (by hand mind you). I cleaned and vacuumed the bathroom (big feat!)
I am so excited for franklin to be here after the carpet guy leaves we are suppose to try to stay off the carpet so we are going to go to joes farm grill and pick some food up and get it to go and go to the dog park and let Rag-nuts run around at the dog park. Sooo excited.
It feels very nice to be in a nice clean house. :)

September the twelfth
New experience: taking Ragnar to a new dogpark, going for a drive with my husband just because.
Not very many interesting new things, but they are all I could think of. I almost forgot to blog so I am blogging in bed. In other words, I better make it quick before Franklin and Ragnar kick me out of bed to the couch.

New experiences: I knew today was going to be the worst day ever, I had my first drink of strawberry lemonade, I learned more about labor laws.
I don't want to blog. Today sucked. That meeting was latently homoerotic. They told everyone that they need more people to work Sundays and that we just can't have them "blocked out". I filled out an availability sheet every day was open except Sunday. So when we got to the questions, comments and concerns part I said I have an issue with the working on Sunday... Then they head hancho told me to talk to the managers later. Which I did. I told them I don't buy gas on Sunday or milk, eggs, or bread and that I don't work on Sundays. They pretty much told me that they were going to rotate the sunday schedule to make it fair. They made is sound as if I had no choice then they told me the choice was mine?? I don't know if they meant not to work on sunday or to work on sundays or to not work on sundays and find another job?? I don't know what choice they were speaking of but apparently telling them you will work if someone is ill or their child is sick or their parent is dying isn't good enough. The part that confuses me is that the federal labor law says that discrimination includes an employer who fails to reasonably accommodate an employees religious practices unless it imposes undue hardship. But Arizona is a Right to work state. So pretty much they can fire you without any real reasoning. All this on top of a stupid meeting and having to work all day. CHERRY ON TOP.
I still don't want to blog.

September the tenth
New Experience: actually tried to paint a room nicely (I have to compete with the Langs and their painting), I got & planted a lavender plant, I laid out in the shade looking at the sky for an hour.
I am dreading tomorrow. YUCK! first of all there is a "staff meeting" at 9 in the morning. If this Keegan's meetings are like the other Keegan's meetings I dread going. I have to take the dog to my moms house which means I have to leave at 8 in the morning, because it takes thirty minutes to get there. Then after the meeting I work at 12 (which is too much time to stay and too little time to go home or really do anything). Then I work all day. Great!! The Bull-ogna starts at nine and probably ends at nine. Then I have to get my poor puppy after who is probably picking up bad habits from the other dogs. At least (hopefully) I will make some money to pay my bills bills bills.
I feel as if I shouldn't be so pessimistic about tomorrow but I can't help feeling as if I already know how this day will turn out.
I painted most near all of our kitchen by myself. I taped, painted and rolled. I just need Franklin to help me move the oven and the fridge and paint behind them. Its a nice olive/sage ish color yet almost looks gray. I don't know, I guess you will have to come over to experience it. NEXT! will be the bed room we got 2 cans of gray oops paint. 50 dollar paint for 5 dollars deal and a half!
I am exhausted.
The End.

September the ninth
New Experiences: Got a complement on my garden, Got my OWN washer and dryer, bought a lavender plant, and woke up super early to take my dog on a walk.
yes, some of those sound as if those shouldn't be *new experiences, but they are.
So due to popular demand (Leah cough cough) I must illustrate some of my new events!
Ragnar is getting so much bigger. However even though he is bigger doesn't mean he is tough. He is so sweet and shy. We went to the doggy park and he practically sat on everyones lap the whole time. Hopefully he will get out of that habit before he gets too big. He is finally almost getting out of the "accident" stage which is great! So we decided to get our carpets cleaned so they will be nice and fresh and clean and smelling awesome.
I have added more plants to my garden (even more than in this picture!) Today the matience man came to put in our lovely new washer and dryer, and this was on the way to the back door. He told me, I like this garden! are those chili peppers?? I felt so proud of my little garden and how everything is still alive.

"Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get."
Zee new washer and dryer.
It is the worst not having your own.
Our landlords actually got us some new(ish?) ones while relatively quick haste!
I am doing a load of laundry right now!
(I wonder how long that will last?)
Even thought I am disgusting from a day at the dark park and getting splashed with swamp water. I took one for the team and took a picture or two of my new blondie girl hair. Which doesn't look as blonde in the first picture but I feel is crazy blonde like in the second.

September the eighth
New experiences: watching about a 57 year old women getting pregnant. Wanting a nook/kindle real bad. and buying product from a salon.
So today started early. I took Ragnar to the vet to get his second of three shots. It took about fifteen seconds. Ragnar did real well! he only yelped right when the needle went it. It was so sad though!
Then we both went home and I started to clean which didn't last long. Then I was ogling over a nook or a kindle. I don't know which I would want. I need to do more research about them both.
Then we went to my moms house, where I dropped Ragnar off so I could get my hair did. I feel as if it is so super blonde! I think I may get it darker/my natural color next time.
I went home and relaxed and watched that I didn't know I was pregnant show. It had a 57 year old woman it was a little freaky but kinda cool/addicting.
I went to work it was slow.
Went on a yogurt date with my lovely, handsome husband.
Marital Thoughts de Somer:
I feel as if is important to have common values and morals. Not in the sense that we both believe murder is bad and helping people is good. But, we both have similar ways in thinking. For example, we don't like people who play the minority card, we hate people who abuse the welfare system and buy energy drinks with foodstamps. Or people who would rather not work and collect welfare checks for X amount of dollars while working at mcdonalds or some such job would give them only a little bit more than X amount of dollars. How we both think it is unfair that people who do nothing are given things, but people who try to be good hard working citizens get nothing and no benefits. (Sorry that more turned into a rant rather than a few examples). This common thinking gives you something to talk about and someone you can understand and someone who understands you.
I also think it is good when you can trust each other. I know if Franklin goes to hang out with friends, I know he won't drink which can lead to a number of poor, relationship-destructive decisions.
Money. When you both have a common goal. it would probably be best if that goal was to save towards a house/vacation/ family/ect/ect. The worst thing possible would be to be in debt. I feel as if that is stressful enough just trying to pay the monthly bills and getting groceries and what to buy and what to save, let alone having debt on top of that! I think the best possible situation to be in would be to get out of debt and to have a savings of three months of all expenses. (incase the fit hit the shan)
Six months and already giving out marital/relationship advice! HA Trust me, I still have much to learn. These were just some observations.

September the seventh
New experience: going to Cosmo Dog park with Ragnar and Franklin. (My lovely sister-in-law suggested it so I had to go!)
Busiest day ever for Ragnar and me (not I in this case). First, we went to buckeye with Franklin to do some work. Then after that we went to the shop to make the screens. After we went home and relaxed (well I went and washed my car while the boys relaxed) then we went to cosmo dog park it was so fun for Ragnar. Then we got some Frozen yogurt, and after went to my moms house to have her watch him while we went out. Now we are home and exhausted.
