Wounded... again.

Well, I went to pick up Max from daycare on Friday evening and low and behold he got hurt once again. This dog is so accident prone - we seriously thank God every day for pet insurance!!! We have saved thousands! Basically they aren't sure what happened at daycare. Max came over to one of the day care girls and she looked down and noticed Max was bleeding. It was fresh, so it had just happened. They didn't hear a bark or a yelp or anything - so no dog fight this time. They think he may have rubbed up against a sharp edge of the fence or maybe another dog scratched him. He didn't even realize it. Never cried, nothing. They glued it up for me and I went ahead and took him to the vet just to be safe - he had to get stitches. So, here are some fun graphic pictures for you (taken with my phone so they are not great).

Still a bit drugged on the tranquilizer (above). He was stumbling all over the place completely drunk. Very hard not to crack up at a drunk dog that big. Had to keep him from falling over several times b/c he would stand there and stare into space, then fall asleep standing up. So I'd have to run over to him and catch him. ha!! He's 83 lbs now!!!! Anyway, he's fine...he finally laid down and slept the drug off. He doesn't even realize he's been hurt. We're keeping him home for a few days.

Promotions and such!

Just a few exciting things to catch you up on...

• I was promoted to Director, Programming Strategy. Basically means taking a nice pay increase and being recognized for the job that I've been doing for 2 years now. (this promotion has been in the works for a while). Either way - it happened and I'm VERY excited!
• I move into my office with a window tomorrow. This has been in the works since I was made a Manager back a few years ago - so this I'm SUPER excited about too!! For t hose of you counting, this is my 7th year with CMT.
• A few of you have asked about my cd. I made a demo cut of 6 songs with my jazz trio. We're in the process of getting a website put together and I'm going to be doing a fun photo shoot soon for the website. Basically we're looking for local gigs for wedding receptions, fund raiser events, parties, etc.. We did an anniversary party a couple months ago for a 60th wedding anniversary. Was so sweet.

Nothing else new going on here. The weather has been pretty cool here in Nashvegas! Mid 50s at night and high 70s during the day. Feels like Fall!!

Family Vacation 2009!

We had the annual 4th of July McKinney family vacation last week! Was so much fun!! We stayed at the most amazing lakehouse on Lake Possum Kingdom in TX. Some friends of Sarah and John's built it last Fall and allowed us to use it for the July 4th weekend this year. It was like staying in a celebrity house! Absolutely beautiful! It'd take me days to tell you about all the rooms and technology they have. The subdivison "The Ranch" had horseback riding, skeet shooting, an amazing pool, boats, jet skis, fishing, you name it! Here are a few pictures.

I don't have room to post pictures of the house, but it was unbelievable! Hope you had a happy 4th of July!
