Bracelet swap
I joined in on Maria's Bracelet swap even though I'm not a big breacelet person. My partner was Luz from "the L spot". Maria let her know that I would rather have a necklace instead. I received it yesterday...
It's a gold necklace with different type charms on it...She also sent me a shot glasses (just what I need huh? :)) and a post card from Arizona!!!
I checked the tracking for the stuff I sent her and it said it was delivered, so I think it's safe to say I can post pictures for you all to see! Here is what I sent her.
I sent her bracelets and a necklace...I hope she loves them!!
My vacation!!
I had a feeling that this post was going to take a very long time to write...Well I was right, but the thing is, I'm going to try and write it all in one sitting. I have slacked and haven't started it :)
So here goes...
If you want to just scroll down and click the link that holds all the pics,
that is fine too.
If you want to just scroll down and click the link that holds all the pics,
that is fine too.
(When I have many pictures to post, they are all going to be over at my Sparkle blog. I will always have a link to all the photo posts with LOST of pictures on here, so you do not need to be a follower of that blog too, but it's up to you, I would love to have many people following that one too)
Friday was my first day of vacation! I was driven insane by the painting people!!! I left to go pick up the rental car and got some lunch, headed over to Banfield and got Oscar a doggy "pedicure" so his nails weren't like freddy claws when he went to his sitters house. Came home and sat around and was annoyed some more by the painting (who mind you hasn't been here ALL week this week! But he's dragging out this painitng process) Headed over to Oscar's sitter at about 4, dropped him off and headed to the Laundromat...BY MYSELF!! I HATE doing laundry there especially by myself :(...Met up with Scott for dinner then headed over to pack!!!
Saturday: We got up kinda early and headed out to start our trip!!! Before stopping at our hotel we stopped by the Detroit zoo!!! I love the Detroit zoo!! The part that I hated was, the fact that the Polar Bear was hiding and we didn't get to see him at all :( Oh, well...We took the train to the begging of the zoo and made our way back down...Oh boy were my calves killing me!!! We headed to the hotel, only to find out that they bumped us to a different hotel!! WTH!?! Scott talked to the manager and bitched and the manager gave us 2 nights free at La Quinta across the street...Yeah, that was happening! I'm VERY picky about our hotels and this one was just not cutting it!!! So we get up tp our room and Scott calls over to Hyatt place and requests them to switch us to another Hyatt place at a different location, they agreed and it was still free!!! We spent the rest of the night in our hotel! We have this thing, that when we go stay in a hotel somewhere we HAVE to get pizza for dinner...It was REALLY good! We watched "Youth and Revolt" very weird movie, and I didn't find it that funny.
Sunday: Got up and headed out to iHOP!!! LOVE iHOP....I hate pancakes though, but still love it! We then started our drive to Toledo. As we were getting ready to leave Michigan, Scott thought it would be awesome to go 100MPH...Yes he made it there...Though I did tell him that if he got pulled over he owed me a new Coach purse...He didn't get pulled over :( We get to the zoo and spent the day there...It was HOT on this trip...I even got a little sunburnt! We then headed back and stopped to get some really good jerky then we headed to T.G.I FRIDAYS!!! I LOVE this place, they really need to get one here!! Spent the rest of the night sitting on my ass. My legs KILLED after walking 2 zoos!! I kept soaking my feet and legs in out bathtub...We never made it to the pool which sucked, but that's ok. I spent about 2 hours maybe even more getting all my giveaway winners stuff together (which I mailed out today...$52!!!!!) DAMN!!!
Monday: Got up and started out journey back home. Stopped at Big Boy to eat some breakfast and of course, we had to make a stop in Cadillac to go shopping at Fashion Bug!!!
Tuesday: Go up WAY too early, took the rental back, did some errands, and came home. Went back into town to have lunch with a friend and came home and sat around until I had to go pick Scott up from work...
Wednesday: My last day of vacation :( Scott stayed home SICK :( boo!! And we did a whole lotta nothing!!
Thursday: Back to work...But first I have to take Scott to Urgent Care...He has a Middle Ear Infection and the Stomach Flu!!! LOVELY!!! Took him back home and headed into work!!
Friday: Scott still sick!! I called in for him. Took half day off of work to take care of him...So this week I have worked a total of NINE hours!! Man, was that exhausting :) haha
So my vacation wasn't very relaxing it was more go, go, go! :( But I'm looking forward to THREE days to sleep in!!! I do have to get cleaning this messy ass house!!

It used to be smoke, but she doesn’t do that anymore

The Life and Times of Katie and Scott!!
(side note: WTH was I thinking when it
was made that? That's too long!)
So it's been changed and shortened to....
LIFE WITH THE DIETRICH'S
I thought about it for awhile to have my last
name be a part of my blog, but then realize
some of you are facebook friends,
so therefore you already know my last name!
If you have a buttton fro TLATOKAS
can you please switch it to the new one...
I'm looking into domain changes, but I
don't think that will be happening...I like having $10!!!
A BIG thank you goes to Amber at
Zany Designs for fixing it for me last night!
Some how I screwed
it up and she came to the resuce!!
And thank you Amber for putting my new name on the
header and button!!!

I have been dreading this post....
So, after 300+ posts and 100+ followers I have decided to close down The Life and Times of Katie and Scott...
BUT....
I'm not leaving for good!!! If you all thought you could get rid of me that easily you are all out of your fricken minds!!! :) haha I LOVE blogging...I look forward to coming home and catching up on all of your wonderful blogs...Even though I have been sort of MIA the last couple of days, do know that I'm reading and trying to comment...I just haven't had any excitement about blogging... I have plenty of things to blog about, I just can't get it typed up...My ADD kicks in and then it's bedtime :)
So, what does closing The Life and Times of Katie and Scott mean...Really, it means nothing other than I'm getting a new button and a new header and um...A new blog name...I'm not changing my URL because I don't want to make extra work for you all. I don't want you all to have to un follow that blog then move over to the other blog...So if anyone knows how to get my own domain name for cheap, please let me know and I would love to do that...
Also, will some please walk me through this damn Google ana-whatever it's called...I finally figured out the Siter meter but cannot figure out the google!!! PLEASE!!!
What is the new name going to be? You will have to wait and see...I'm working with Amber AGAIN from Zany Dezines (because she is FRICKEN AWESOME!!!!) (A.K.A Amber's Desings) and she is working on changing my name on both me header and button...So hopefully by tomorrow morning The Life and Times of Katie and Scott, will be no longer and.....Well you will just have to wait :) haha
So stay tuned for the new name...It's really nothing much different than what it is now...And NO it doesn't have anything to do with babies...I'm pretty much sure I'm infertile and will never have my own children :( Sad, I know but I think it will be ok :)
Friday things!!!
FIVE QUESTION FRIDAY WITH MY LITTLE LIFE
Here are the questions:

5. Are you a Neat Freak or a Messy Bessy?
My answers:
1. Is there something you've always wanted to try but just can't muster up the courage to actually do yet?
Bungee jump or sky dive...It's not that I can't muster up the courage, it's that I can't come up with the funds to do it!

Jewlery or clothes
3. What was your favorite piece of playground equipment as a child?

Toothsoap pet contest
I'm joining the Toothsoap "cutest pet contest"
It took me awhile to find the perfect picture,
but I think I did it!!!
It is not easy looking through a folder that is called "Oscar" that has 922 pictures in it plus many other folders that have pictures in them!! Yes, I do have that many pictures of him! You all have your "real" children that you have that many pictures of and I have my "furbaby" that has that many pictures...Don't judge :) haha
I hope I win this because Oscar had 20 something teeth pulled out two years ago and he is starting to get "butt breath" again and I need to try something else, since he hates what we use now!!!
Wanna join in? Head over to Supah's blog and link up after you do your post!!!

I need some blog help...
Can some tell me how to set up Google analytics for my blog? I also signed up for sitemeter but don't know how to put it on my blog?
Confused
I need some help here... This last week at work it has really come to my attention that my job is not 100% safe! They could at any time get rid of my position! We have another home about 1/2 hour from the home I work at now and the person that does my job over there last day is on June 1st and they are not replacing her...Which makes me think that my job could really be gone sooner than later...Although I have talked to someone and they said this isn't going to happen and if it does, it wont be for some time...So I have offered to do both jobs! Call me crazy, but I will do anything to keep my job! I cannot afford to lose my job...No one can these days, but in these economic time jobs are dropping like flies! So I would be working with 2 totally different residents at two different homes...It will be a hard job, but I KNOW that I can do it! I'm a damn good worker and have been there for SEVEN years! Wednesday I came home and just balled at the thought of losing my job! So what do people do when they are upset over the fact that they could lose their job?? They set up resumes at Michigan Works and send out resumes to other jobs...I did do this! I found some really good ones and hit submit with the thought that I wouldn't hear anything back and yesterday I totally forgot about submitting resumes...Well, I get out of the shower and my phone goes off. I check it and it's says a miss call from a number I didn't know. I checked my voicemail and yup, you guessed it! Someone actually called me back! It's in the medical field and I know I would love it, but my problem is do I really want to leave my job and go to another one? I HATE big change! And this change would be HUGE and I would be starting all over....I asked Scott if I should call them, and he said I should think about it, but I need HELP! What would you do if you knew that at some point your job MAY BE gone? Would you call and just set up the interview and just go from there? If you were offered the job, would you take it? I wouldn't take it if it was a lot less money than what I make now, but...That's just it BUT!! I don't know what to do! I'm confused!!
It's FRIDAY and I'm on VACATION!!!!
It's FRIDAY!!! I'm on Vacation for the next six days!!!
There are only TWO days left to enter my week of giveaways! If you haven't entered yet, look on the left side of my blog for a list of the giveaways.
