Pancakes has found a way out of her baby gate no matter what kind of booby trap I put on it, anytime I come up with something new, she defeats it and figures it out in about 24 hours (if I am lucky)

This means that when she does get out, she usually uses this time to tear up random things and use the restroom wherever she pleases, even if I put out a few puppy pads, she for some reason, does not use them.. EVEN if I move them to the areas it seems like she is going most, she just changes locations.

This has led to some unfortunate stains on my carpet, but thankfully I still have my dads carpet shampooer, so this morning after I finished the basic cleaning I got out the spot shot, treated the spots, then shampooed. I use woolite in the shampooer because .. well thats what I have and I absolutely love the way it smells. If there was a way you could put that in some sort of perfume or lotion, I would use and buy it religiously.

My mom has been back to in and out of the hospital, apparently she is having mini strokes, so they had to thin out her blood a super whole bunch and shes going back to her doctor who did her original heart surgery in Dallas, hopefully he will see what is going on and it won't take too much to fix and prevent any more strokes from occuring.

I went with Dominos, they let me work the eastside location and the money is great. The people are hard to warm up to, but I'm working on it, hopefully someone lame will quit soon and they will hire someone awesome. I miss the people at papa johns, they were much more fun.

I was going to go back to school this semester but turns out I missed filling out an application and I am technically not a student yet at UTPB, if you leave for a year or more you have to reapply..thats probably something I should have checked into. So I reapplied, but because school starts dreadfully soon, I am afraid I will have to wait for spring semester, but I am going to register for that as soon as my status at the school is officially 'student'.

I am so excited about going to the chinati open house in October. You should go if you have the chance, its Marfa, TX and its free.

Today is Alex's Dads birthday, I made him chocolate chip peanut butter muffins and blueberry mango. I sampled some, they were amazing.
