Picture Time
Here are the flowers that popped up in our front yard before they got covered up in stupid snow this past week (and they say it's going to snow more, hurray):

Fiber Internet
We're getting fiber optic cable/internet/phone installed in the house. We aren't going to use it, in all likelihood, but it was an amazing deal to get it installed and it will raise the value of the house by around $4000-$7000, so it's a good investment.
I want to wait until October to buy the house, like we originally planned, because by then we will have saved much more, but at the same time I would like to buy it sooner because I want to be able to install central air for the summer.

Birthday And Buster
So I got a few presents for my birthday. Scott got me a lot of girlie movies I had wanted and I've watched almost all of them. Scott's parents got me a set of pearl earrings that will match my pearl necklace perfectly: 
The necklace used to be Scott's grandma's and I inherited it when she was cleaning out her old storage unit.
So this weekend we had Buster groomed, which turned out to be horrible.
I had dropped Buster off at Petsmart Saturday to get a bath and have his fur trimmed since it's coming up on Spring and it's getting warm. When I dropped him off I asked for them to trim his fur down so it would be 1.5" long all over. I then went home and waited and when they called Scott went to go get Buster. He came home and when he got there and Buster walked in he looked awful!
They SHAVED him except on his head and his tail, and he looked so STUPID. Even if that had been what I wanted they did a horrible job, since there were tufts of long hair all over and they didn't even cut his toenails and they cut skin off in a few places and hurt him and when I saw him I started crying because I was so sad and mad at the pet store. So Scott turned around and went back and demanded our money back (they had said when I dropped him off it would be $50 but they charged us $70-jerks).
So I called around and tried to find someone who could fix his hair on Sunday but everyone was full, so I had to settle for an appointment yesterday afternoon. Thankfully these guys knew what they were doing and fixed him the best they could and only charged me $30. So, I went from a beautiful fluffy dog:
to this: 
in two days. Boo. I guess it'll grow, but I'm still mad. Scott was an absolute angel about it though, he really was my knight in shining armor. And after we were all calmed down on Saturday he made a mohawk with his freak hair and put a glow necklace on him and sent me a picture and it made me smile :) 
See, they even shaved his nose, which is just bizarre!

Bleh
Scott and I both woke up this morning feeling sick. He got to call in, but I didn't because my coworker had beaten me to it! My boss couldn't cover for both of us, so here I am. I am feeling much better than I was this morning, though, with the help of some meds and lots of water. My plan for the rest of the day is basically to run my errands quickly and then come home and just sit on the couch with a blanket in my PJs.
