I found out about....

I found out about this delicious treat called Happy Hippo. It is something that they have on a regular basis over in Europe or at least Italy for sure. I found it when we went to a European/International Market near this kick ass pizza place called Blue Moon Pizza but that is another story. I almost didn't pick up the Happy Hippo until OO8 told me Holls just loves them. So when we were picking out what we were going to take home I had to pick Happy Hippo and OMG I am so glad I did but then again I hate I did cuz now I got to have them regularly stocked almost, lol. I've thrown in a few pics of the cute little sucker. Ok now we went to Ikea because we had to pick up a few things of course finding a few things I'm sure we didn't need along the way. One of those things was a stuffed dog and of course you guessed it OO8 had to buy that for Ellie. Ellie has just been loving that thing to death. I don't think she knows what to do with herself with that thing around now. The one I bought her to replace another one has almost bit the dust with a few more humps and chews left in it but since "Flander" has been around she has just been in love. I have never seen a chihuahua hump something, chew something, rest on something so much. I have added a few pics and a little movie of that little princess as well. I can't believe her sometimes. That lil' pooch is just too much and so much OO8's lil' buddy. They are just so cute together, it is just too much I tell ya too much. Now the other day OO8 and I went out to CostCo to get new memberships and see what they had to offer us. OO8 wanted some new pans you know to fry in and do eggs in, so he wanted to go be "nosey around" as he likes to call it. We did a little bit too much nosing around but I think it was a good idea. We walked away with some good deals I think besides when we got back and started freezing what we had it was hard to shut the freezer. If I know one thing we don't waste our money going out to eat that is for sure. We do a lot of our cooking at home and our refridgerator & freezer can prove that right there. I'm by no means complaining. Cuz at the moment I hate getting dressed to go out somewhere. I'm changing that though cuz the kettle bell is working honies it is working. I can tell in my strength and muscle tone, besides I've lost 3lbs in 2weeks, YAY!!! I wanted to do Yoga today but I had a headache all day and OO8 was just wonderful about it too. He usually always is but this time he was extra special. I forgot to mention he bought me some pretty two tone pink roses at CostCo. They are in a pitcher right now, a cute glass one but a pitcher none the less. He has been a freak on ebay lately and bought me a beautiful vase. I mean he has just been buying all kinds of stuff from there lately but that will be another blog once we have ALL of OUR stuff in, yes I said ALL of OURstuff in. He has just been buying stuff up. I mean stuff we use and paintings/prints to fill our white walls but still sheesh baby, lol. But hey, I don't mind cuz he has bought me some nice gifts on there. Once again that is another blog. OO8 has just been really decorating the place, adding color, different types of lamps, prints/paintings on the wall, etc and it has just been turning out so nice. I will take pics and post them as well as soon as I'm better tomorrow and have had the chance to straighten up enough to take pics. I'm making lunch tomorrow for the ladies in the apartment management office. We were talking one day last week and I said I would make chicken cacciatora for them this Thursday. OO8 is excited about having it again for lunch. He says I really make it good. Last time I made it I forgot a few ingredients because it was my first time making it by myself but he said it was still wonderfully deliciious. Ok maybe he didn't use those words but hey you know what I mean and ya'll know what he said just about, lol.

My life Saturday thru Sunday consist of sports. Usually more so on Sunday which usually it is Sunday all day sports. This Sunday there is no soccer which means he won't be getting up to go to work to go watch Napoli play and I won't be forced to watch 2 games of soccer and deal with him spending forever writing his blog. Which don't get me wrong I'm glad he is into soccer and is writing a blog and sharing it with his friends you know, blah blah blah. I say all that to say I may be getting out of soccer this weekend but I'm not getting out of football, lol. He purchased tickets for the Falcons vs. Bears this Sunday. Some collegues of his are coming down from Charleston this weekend and they want to go to a game. One of them is going back to Italy to work and he is leaving at the end of the month so I can be a champ and go and be festive. Which hey I'm not complaining. I actually like going cuz I will have my beer and my nasty food which is always a plus, lol.

I believe I've said enough until next time. I just wanted to catch you wonderful folks up on our lives here in GA. Don't forget to view the photos and the little movie of Ellie at the bottom of this entry.
