Ranch Style Coleslaw with Bacon

I like coleslaw, when it is not out of the big bucket from Walmart, when someone actually takes the time to make it.  I like my sister’s version of coleslaw, it has lemon pepper in it.  Brian likes the real deal mayo type, the one that is really creamy.  He wouldn’t like the one below because he doesn’t like ranch, but maybe if I used Creamy Italian and who could go wrong with bacon, HA!

1 pkg. (16 oz.) coleslaw blend
4 slices  OSCAR MAYER Bacon, cooked, crumbled
1/2 cup KRAFT Ranch Dressing

All in a days work!

Have you ever had a day where you thought God was looking down on you and snickering the whole time while he watches the world unfold?  Well, I have had a week like that already.  Our dog threw up on the couch and pillows, Gracie painted herself with red paint, along with the carpet, and then she decided that she would play with the gum that was in her mouth and she smeared it all over her leg, hands and chin.  Yes, I know, at least it wasn’t her hair.  We were in the car at the time of that incident, so I made her ride home with her hands in the air, not touching anything.  Good thing, I could laugh about all of this later, because I thought, man I should have taken a picture of that paint, AND that gum, but I didn’t.  Both times, I was so worried about her getting it on other things, I had to get it cleaned up right then.  It is only Wednesday, and I can’t wait to see what else is in store for the rest of the week!

Oh yeah, and if anyone wants to get me a belated birthday gift, throw pillows would be nice :)

On a cute note, Gracie was so tired the other night, she passed out in like 5 minutes, and when Brian went in there to check on her, this is what he found.

Fancy Nancy Party

Gracie went to her Fancy Nancy Party at the Library yesterday.  She had a blast!  They had so much fun, making tiaras, and getting jewelry.  They even gave them little snacks.  Addy and Haylee were there with her, and even Brian showed up at the end to surprise her. 

It’s On!

I get this song stuck in my head every time it is on, and Gracie jumps up and starts dancing, well finally I caught her on video!

Post it Note Tuesday

Gracie Dancing

Gracie is getting so much more vocal these days, and loves to dance!  The other night, she told Brian, Peace Out Hoagie!  Here is a video I got of her dancing the other night, while we were waiting on the fireworks.

What would you do to save a dog?

Are you a pet lover?  What would you do to save a dog?  Would you spend your savings on your dog?  A dog that has only been in your family for 6 months?  A dog that your daughter has grown to love?  A dog that has slowly become part of your family?  Well, we had to yesterday?  Let’s just say we spent a lot of money on Princess Pinkalicious yesterday!  She had to have an emergency hysterectomy.  Now she is a baron old woman.  Darn Dog!  If it isn’t one thing, it is another!  She had an infection in her uterus, that could have killed her, and so we spared her life.  This dog better not die for at least the next 10 years or else!!  She needs to pay off her debt…
