So I got it! I swear I remembered the zebra hair dryer at Wal-Mart being bigger than this but I guess not. It will be good for traveling I am sure!

Hairdryer and Dog sitting
Hello all! I've been meaning to blog for days and just haven't sat down to write something.
Thursday night Zack and I went to Wal-Mart and I saw the CUTEST hair dryer. It was ZEBRA. Okay, those that know me know how much I LOVEEEEE zebra. Look at the name of my blog for crying out loud. I talked myself out of buying it by telling myself that I have a perfectly good hair dryer. Friday morning when I got out of the shower and started to fix my hair my blow dryer(yes, the perfectly good one)wouldn't turn on. The plug on my wall that I use for my straightener and hair dryer frequently goes out and you have to reset it to make it work. So I tried that. No such luck. I plugged in my straightener and it worked fine. I kept going from room to room and plug to plug to see if maybe the outlet was messed up. Nope. My hair dryer bit the dust. I think it was fate telling me I have to go back to Wal-Mart and get the zebra hair dryer. :) So as soon as I can get my butt to Cordele I am getting a new hair dryer. I am currently using one of my Mama's old hair dryers that has NO BLOWING power. It feels like it takes YEARSSSS to dry my hair.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On another note, I am dog sitting this weekend. I literally have to be here to feed and take out the dogs.
I wish I had a picture of these beauties I get to spend my Saturday and Sunday with. I got these from Google Image Search.
This is Sam. She is an English Bulldog and some how kin to UGA the University of Georgia's mascot. She is absolutely adorable and is definitely the Parker's(who I am dogsitting for) pride and joy! She is so cute and chubby! She sleeps a lot!
Dusty is a cute little cat that wondered up about 5 weeks ago. He cuddled with me all yesterday afternoon. Last night he must have been feeling frisky because he kept chasing the dogs and pawing their tails and hissing at them. He's a sweet little kitty though.
Lady is a yellow lab. She is old and you can tell by the way she walks. She seems as if she is going blind. She lays around all day just napping!
Last night, Zack came and visited and we watched some movies. Neither of them were really good. I suck at picking out movies obviously.
We watched "41 Year Old Virgin who Knocked up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It". I figured it was a spoof of all of the above movies but it wasn't really. It was a very low budget film. The cast was actors who played actors. (I.E. the guy who played in "40 Year Old Virgin" wasn't who played in this movie)
We also watched "Crime of Fashion" which is about a girl who attends fashion school who's grandfather dies and leaves her the "family business". She becomes the mob boss and turns the mob around. Either way it wasn't that great and I realized halfway through that I have seen it before and on ABC family at that. For free. So I paid to rent a movie that I have already seen for free. I contribute this one for my bad memory!
Well I have to take the puppies out for one last bathroom run and then I am off to my home.

Flint RiverQuarium and the Albany Mall with J and R!
Today J, R, and I loaded up and headed an hour east of Ashburn to Albany. We had one thing on our mind. AQUARIUM!! The kids have been dying to go all summer and I was pleased to take them!
It is sad to admit that I have never been. I have wanted to but the opportunity has never arisen. Zack doesn’t like to do that kind of stuff so I enjoy having people that will go do things like that with me!
We got to the RiverQuarium about 11AM and stayed until 1PM!!! There were so many cool animals. The kids favorite animal was the ALBINO ALLIGATOR. J told me I JUST HADDDDD to take a picture and put it on Facebook and my blog.(Isn’t he just the cutest!?) The horrible lighting, bad positioning of the alligators, and fact that I didn’t bring my real camera and this is a camera phone made the pictures super blurry so I left those out. I mean it’s so bad I can’t even tell what it was supposed to be!
We played a trivia game in the Aquarium and I totally kicked butt! Haha Yes I am almost 21 years old and find satisfaction in winning against a 12 and 9 year old!
After our visit to the Aquarium we went to eat a late lunch. R and J couldn’t decided on where they wanted to eat so we headed to the mall. This was sure to please everyone. After we got there J and R ended up eating at THE SAME PLACE the SAME THING! I think they were just pulling my chain earlier about not deciding where they wanted to eat!
Since we had to be home this afternoon I let each of them pick one store they wanted to go to. R picked the pet store. She loves animals and has one of the biggest hearts ever. She told me the other day she wants to be a emergency vet or a animal cop. (I didn’t know what that was either! She said they rescue pets from abusive or neglectful owners. Sounds kind of like DFCS for pets!)
J wanted to go to Hibbets Sports. He spend all of 30 minutes in there just looking. We all but had to drag him out of the store by the back of his head! He picked up every single bat in the store and inspected it from EVERY angle!
I picked Old Navy as my store! As we were walking in the mall we saw a lady who had pulled her car right up to the entrance of the mall and was unloading a stroller with nine, yes NINE!, Old Navy bags and that lured me in. I am a sucker for deals and I knew Old Navy must have been having some! We got in and didn’t see much of anything at first and then I saw the cutest bags. They were originally $16.50 and on sale for $6.97 and ON TOP OF THAT all clearance was 50% off! So I picked up three one for each of us. J decided he didn’t want one so R and I have two CUTE totes that we got for $3,50! R picked a blue one and I got the cutest pink on.(shocked?)
We had an awesome day. The kids were WORN out. Had I not been driving I would have snapped a picture of them sleeping the WHOLE WAY home!
ENJOY!

HOORAY!!!
WARNING! THIS POST IS COMPLETELY RANDOM!!!
I had a long day babysitting yesterday...I didn't get there til 12 but I ended up staying until 7PM!
Zack's aunt, uncle, and three young cousins are in town from North Carolina so we had a family dinner at his house last night. Needless to say I was late! We enjoyed the kiddos a lot! They will be headed out Wednesday because they have plans at church.
On another note, I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get my cable, internet, and power set up when we move in. I know, I have two weeks before move-in but I wanted to make sure they have all of my information and I know EXACTLY what money is due when we move in. Between being on hold for 20 minutes at a time and waiting three hours for a call back about my whether or not we could use their services in my apartment complex I got the most exciting news EVER!!!! They ran my FIRST EVER credit check and I, SUZI MASTRARIO, HAVE CREDIT!!! Great credit at that! I was super excited because 1) I did it myself! 2)I don't have to pay all of those CRAZY deposits! 3) I DID IT MYSELF. I really didn't think I had credit. I mean, I got a credit card last year and make SMALL purchases on it every now and then. I put like maybe $35 for gas on it here and there and then I pay it straight from my checking account but I didn't think $300 or so would be enough to establish credit. Let alone GREAT credit. So that's my awesome news. I feel like a responsible adult with my utilities in MY NAME rather than my parents! :) Now to just get a job to pay them!

Upgrade
I have had the HTC Touch Pro since we got our cell phones last year(hallelujah, for the one year contract!) and it’s been HORRIBLE. I am currently on number 7. I had SEVEN in FOUR months. Luckily, in November they gave me a brand new phone in store after fussing to them so much. What’s been wrong with them you ask? Two wouldn’t make/recieve calls, one would reset itself, one the touch screen stopped working, the other 2 the physical keyboard stopped working. Sounds fun, huh? But I must say, since I got this phone in November I have only had minor problems(sometimes getting very little service when my Mama or sister have great service, etc).
We were eligible for a new cell phone upgrade before we went to the beach and I am itching for this new beauty.
Do any of you have a Blackberry Curve 8530 with Alltel? If not, do you have an Alltel phone you really like and would recommend?
My crazy life
As you know, Saturday we had a yard sale cookout at my parent's house. I never managed to snag any pictures from anyone but my sister wrote a great blog about it here complete with pictures galore!
Since then I have been fighting what I believe to be a virus. I started feeling nauseated Saturday night and got better until last night. I am a BABY when it comes to being sick. I want someone with me if I am sick. Last night I threw up and my sweet little sister, Sami, came in the bathroom and got me a cold, wet rag and sat with me for a little bit. Is that not the sweetest thing? I took some ibuprofen for my headache and grabbed a trash can and got in my bed.
I woke up this morning with what felt like the WORST hangover ever. I had a major headache and my stomach was still upset. I managed to get up, showered, and out the door to keep my kids. The kids usually sleep pretty late during the summer so when I get there at 8 I usually head to the guest bedroom or the couch and take a short nap until they wake up and are ready for breakfast. This morning I tossed and turned and eventually just got up to watch TV. They finally woke up in time for lunch and I fixed them some lunch and laid back down. Just the thought of food made me sick to my stomach, not to mention the smell.
By this afternoon, I was feeling a little bit better. Still a little upset stomach, but nothing like this morning.
After work, I came home and sat around for a little bit and am now feeling 100% better.
To make matters worse, Zack has the same symptoms, so he is sick too. Bless his heart. Hopefully, he will be better soon!
Welcome to my CRAZY life!
I am so excited to get to work at the daycare FOUR days this week. Tammy, the Assistant Director of the daycare and teacher of the 4+ children, is out of town on a much needed and MUCH deserved vacation to North Georgia and I get to fill in! I hope she enjoys her break to North Georgia with her family!
