Daisy and I went to the vet yesterday. She weighs a whopping 1.75 lbs at 9 weeks old. She was due for her next round of puppy shots so we went ahead and did that. She goes again on December 1st for her 12 wk shots. But she is a healthy puppy! I REALLY liked the vet, too. He has his home and cell numbers on his business cards in case of an emergency.
Dewayne and I have been talking about putting her through the 4 trainings offered at Petsmart. If you complete the 4th training, she gets the same certification as a service dog and can go into any hotel, restaurant, store, etc… and they can’t make her leave. We could even take her to hospitals and let her visit patients. I thought that would be the neatest part. We will have to see. The only thing stopping us is we don’t have a Petsmart in Odessa, it’s in Midland. Each class is one night a week for eight weeks. It is just hard to commit to that with so much going on. We already paid for a potty training class this Friday and I am going to have to cancel.
I was asked to join our safety committee here at work. I will hold the title of “Scribe” which also handles the treasury and secretarial duties. I think it will be fun. I will get a few overtime hours each month also. The shop guys around here are like kids! They have to be bribed to do their job. They get donuts every week they don’t have a recordable incident and get a “food reward” every month that they have zero recordable incidents. Today was food reward day and I had to go get NINTY burritos. That will also be my responsibility on the committee. One of the shop guys had Ruben call Teresa and ask where their food was and I informed Ruben after I am on the committee, if ANYONE ever calls me and asks where their food is, they will not get any.
Everyone needs Office 2007. The other day, I was typing a guy’s address and it is San Clemente, CA. The street name was Spanish also. After that, I noticed all my words were underlined in red like they were misspelled. Technically, they were. Word automatically switched my language to Spanish and did spell check on my words. The Spanish ones were correct but all the English words were wrong. Technology is AWESOME!

Well my birthday was AWESOME! Mom took me to Red Lobster and then we went to her house for cake and I must say it was probably the cutest cake I have ever seen! Mom did SUCH a good job on it!
Then Saturday night, Stacy got me tickets to go see Jack Ingram for my birthday. I can remember going to a Pat Green concert like 5 years ago and Jack Ingram opened for Pat. He was a nobody and I didn’t listen to him at all! Now Jack is a pretty big deal! Anyway, we had a blast!
Dewayne got me a HUGE birthday present… it counts as all my Christmas presents too… but it is SO worth it!!! Yes, I am fully aware that I am a spoiled brat!
*Wedding*
I met with the seamstress on Friday! I L-O-V-E my dress. It is absolutely beautiful! I didn’t want to get out of it! The good news is that because of the uniqueness of the way my dress is built, it isn’t going to take much altering. She will have to shorten the length, of course, and just a few changes in the bust. Then I get to take BRIDAL PORTRAITS! I haven’t decided on whether or not I am doing extensions again. They were REALLY cool but it hurt like crazy trying to get them off! Here is what it looked like before she curled it.
It probably only made my hair another three or four inches longer… but it was MUCH thicker! And it held the curl better than my hair does… Maybe I will try bridal portraits without them… and base my decision off that!
A lady at church told me she was considering having my shower the second weekend in January. Its not firm yet but she and I both think that seems to be a nice time.

Meet Daisy!!!!!!!! AKC registered yorkie! We drove to Sweetwater, TX to get her on Saturday!!! She is SO sweet. She will be between 5-6 lbs full grown. She probably weighs around 1.5 right now. We have an appointment tomorrow morning with a vet right by the townhouse. I have heard that yorkies are very stubborn when it comes to potty training but she has done amazing. She pottied in her kennel the first night but not last night! Eventually we will get a male and his name will be Duke!!

BOLO...
Happy 21st birthday to Larriat!! WooHoo!!
Ladies and gentlemen, I am placing a BOLO (learned that from NCIS!!) on a toy yorkie. I want one SO badly. If you know of anyone that wants to get rid of one or a breeder or ANYTHING… please tell them you know someone that would give them a WONDERFUL home. I want a female, on the smaller side if possible (3-5 lbs full grown). But as long as it is a toy (not standard) I will take it. Buying from a breeder will cost between $1,500 - $3,000 plus the $700 pet deposit at the town house… so you can see my dilemma. I am willing to pay a reasonable amount for one, I'm just not going to take out a loan to have to do it! Wedding present anyone… Christmas maybe…???? :)
*Wedding*
We are going to meet my seamstress today at lunch and get my dress pinned for alterations! I’m so excited since this will be the first time to see MY dress! Then, Dewayne is taking mom and me to lunch! He took off work today because of my birthday. He had a stage job today that was split between today and Saturday. He missed my birthday last year so he told them he didn’t want to work. :) He spoils me so much!
Sierra gets so excited when we talk about the wedding! She always wants to hear “our wedding song” which is the “Here Comes the Bride” on www.dewayneandlarriat.com and look at all the pictures. Then we have to look at a picture of her and Randi’s flower girl dresses. Dewayne and I bought some winter flowers to plant in the back yard. Dewayne was outside planting them last night and Sierra decided those were the flowers she and Randi were going to throw at the wedding.
I found out navy blue daisies just aren't possible so we are going to do periwinkle and white with navy and silver ribbon. Disappointing… but at least the florist was honest with me about how the navy daisies turn out! She said the last thing she ever wants to do is disappoint a bride on her wedding day. I liked her a lot!
Oh my goodness I have so much work today but I don’t want to!! After all, it is my birthday!!

Happy Halloween!!!! That means it is only 7 days until my birthday!
Stacy and Travis’ pumpkins were smashed last night. It made me SO angry when I realized they were theirs. I made me even more upset that I was RIGHT there and I never heard them.
Drama story time: After I took Travis to his open house on Tuesday, I decided to just get some Keith’s Hamburger Station to take home. I checked my bank account yesterday morning and my checking account was down to like $40 and then I noticed $100 had been drafted out of my savings account which it automatically does even if my account gets down around $10! When I checked the history in my account, the brilliant cashier at Keith’s had charged my debit card THREE times! Twice for the total of my meal, $26.38 and once for $226.38. I nearly had a cow. I called down there and Keith, the owner, checked his receipts and saw the error. He asked me to come by and he would just give me cash for it. So I went by and one of his brilliant workers just gave me my cash and told me to “sign the paper bag” so they had proof I came to pick it up. The owner didn’t even come talk to me! At least he was honest about it...
Every year I go order some Halloween cookies from a place here called Fat Jack’s for Dewayne to take to work for the guys. This year when I went to order them, the owner told me they stopped taking orders several weeks ago because they had so many! So, I made my special peanut butter cup cookies this year for him to take. I made at least 130 of them and made regular peanut butter cookies with the left over dough.
Just thought this was neat to share. We took this picture after we had our safety lunch and they handed out our jackets. Small and blurry...but its the best I could do!
We will be getting Cameron hats that have “365” on the back of them. I am going to take my jacket back sometime and have Mitchell changed to McGhee. Teresa ordered my name plate for my office and it says Larriat McGhee on it.
*Wedding updates*
MY WEDDING DRESS FINALLY ARRIVED!!!!!!!! I hope to try it on today at lunch!
We are taking engagement pictures on Sunday. I am getting extensions put in my hair tomorrow. If I like them, we will take them out and save them to reuse for bridal portraits and the wedding.
120 days!!!

Couch...
I have been meaning to get this posted... and a blogger that searched for a photo of a "jigsaw couch" reminded me to get it done. We got this at Furniture Row. It comes in "sand" like ours and "chocolate" like the pillows on it.
So here is the picture of our new couch. We NEVER separate it! It is so awesome when Travis and Sierra come over. They have plenty of room to roll around on it and cuddle for movies.
Things are still the same... busy busy.
Attention bridesmaids: your dresses have been ordered. They should be delivered in about 12 weeks.
4 months and 1 day from now... Dewayne and I will be married!!! AHHHH!!! It is all going by so quickly! Dewayne has decided we are taking a cruise for our honeymoon. He wants to do a 7 day Carnival Cruise. He took a five day for his senior trip in high school and loved it. I agree as long as we get to go scuba diving and swim with the dolphins.
November will be over before any of us know it! We have to get engagement pictures done this month, my birthday, my dress will be here the 12th, Dewayne's birthday, then Thanksgiving and Mark will get to come home!
Now I don't want to work for the rest of the day... I just want to type! But I have reports due to my boss in the morning and not all of my sales guys have turned in their stuff so I have to go harass them!

These days...
Where, oh where do I begin? I haven’t blogged in more than a month but it seems like a year!
I have so much to say I just don’t know where to start or stop so I apologize in advance if this is confusing and/or all over the place!
I absolutely love my new job. My boss is unbelievably awesome. I planned my first party for the upcoming Oil Show. It is Wednesday night at the Country Club. I have spent so much money on this party, it’s insane! I will definitely have to post some pictures! Dewayne and I get to go but there are very few people in the office that are invited. I’m important around here! My office is even in the “executive wing”. I’m smack dab between Dave and Pat… the head honcho’s around here!
I have been staying with Stacy while Mark is gone. I like sleeping with Sierra. She is a cuddler. It’s fun though. Dewayne has been a big help for Stacy, too. He loves to do yard work and stuff so he doesn’t mind doing all the dirty work! He is such a sweetheart!
The wedding is coming along great! I found a photographer (finally)!! I hope to go take our engagement pictures out at Noel Plaza this weekend. I’m waiting on the lady to call me back to confirm a time. I will call and order bridesmaid dresses today. That has been a bunch of drama but we found one! I finally feel like things are all coming together nicely. 131 days to go!
Okay… back to work for me. I am busy these days and I love it!
