Wednesday ~ Katie's Birthday!

Katie is 20. I am happy and sad at the same time. My life has changed so much during the past 20 years. I hope I have been the mother that the Lord had intended for her.

We spent the morning on school work and walking the dog. Katie called and said she was not feeling well. She sounded terrible. Her allergies were flared up and giving her lots of trouble. She spent most of the day in bed.

We drove to Anderson (1 hour and 15 minutes away) in the evening to have a Birthday Dinner! She wanted Wedgy’s Wednesday. Wedgy’s is a local pizza delivery/restaurant in our area. They thought we were crazy ordering a sausage pizza with no sauce. Kasie has developed food allergies because of her RSD. She is now allergic to apples, peaches, cherries and tomatoes. So, no sauces with tomato base for her.

We also stopped and picked up an Ingles bakery cake for her. We had the party at Charlie’s moms house (2 blocks from AU) because it was Wednesday so no RSVP for Charlie (he is Katie’s boyfriend of 18 months). RSVP is the time when boys and girls can visit each other in the dorms at AU. It was an interesting party.

Katie loved her gift. Kasie and I went together and bought her an iPOD Nano. Katie was thrilled! She has been hinting and thought she might be getting an iPOD Shuffle, since they had just gone on sale for about $50. But we got her what she really wanted (which was $150). After we were home she called to tell me she was loading songs. I am glad she had a nice birthday.

After the “party” we went to petsmart (in Anderson) to get Izzie new clothes and everyone new collars. (They were having a 75% off sale). Izzie came to the party with us. She did very well riding in the car for so long and then being in a new environment. She is a great dog; we love her already and are very pleased! Izzie got a new coat and a harness. The cats all got collars to put their new ID and rabie vaccination tags on. (Let’s just say, they were not pleased with their presents. LOL!)

On the way home we stopped at Izzie’s old owners to get her shot records and registration papers. It looks as if she was never officially registered with the AKC, so we might have a late fee. But that is ok because then we can name her. The name on the application is Ms. Isabella Stella Kiss Faal. We would change it to Ms. Izadora (something) (something) Williams. Any suggestions?
