One day two people come together in mutual weirdness and fall in love."

#JeannieLovesCody #JeanniesCloset, #JeannieLovesMakeup
Hi!! I'm Jeannie, the curator of this site. I describe myself as a Type A personality masquerading as a hippie. Basically, I'm a free-spirit who loves to be barefoot as much as I love creating Excel spreadsheets. As a child, you could find me up in a tree finishing my homework or inventing something crazy.
I originally started this blog as a way to share my elaborate excel sheets that I create before each vacation. I started making them in 2006 to eliminate Cody's travel anxiety, and since they helped him, I thought they might help others too! |
CODY (CO-DiY)T H E H A N D Y H U S B A N D
“I live my life by one rule and that's the rule of Elmore City, Oklahoma.”
#CoDiy #CodyLovesJeannie
This is my husband Cody and the 5 photos at the top are a pretty accurate depiction of who he is. His name should be spelled CoDIY because he's either in the building, re-building, or designing stage of a project (which is why I married him... for the free labor).
Cody is the youngest of three brothers and the son of a Houston Fire Fighter & a hard working mother. He grew up playing baseball at Spring High School and was even offered a partial scholarship to play at a college in Texas. |
LASHES LOVET H E B O S S
“It's a big world out there, and I'm going to kiss everyone in it..."
#LadyLashesLove
We rescued Lashes Love from the Houston Humane Society a few months after our house flooded (a pipe fitting busted while we were on vacation allowing 6" of water throughout our house). To lift our spirits, Cody got a 55" Samsung Smart TV & I got Lashes, proving that, "When life gives you lemons, adopt a puppy!"
We were the first to inquire about her, calling within the first hour of her photo being uploaded. When they brought her out she ran full speed to us, tail wagging the entire time, & her tongue licking EVERYTHING (including the air)! |

01. HHS named her Puggy Sue
02. She drinks from the bottom of her water bowl 03. Breed: Puggle {Pug / Beagle} 04. She's never met a stranger 05. Her Heaven will be filled with tennis balls, her favorite toy elephant, & plenty of people to smooch 06. Pillows, she MUST sleep on a pillow {sometimes my face is her pillow} 07. All her favorite toys can be found in her food bowl {for safe keeping of course} 08. The Gremlin noises she makes sound terrifying 09. Nicknames: Smooch, LaLo, Mommas, Lady Love, Lady Pug, SPK {sour patch kid}, & Moo Moo 10. Her breathe smells like garbage on a hot day and she loves giving kisses 11. She constantly needs to be touched 12. The best burp you will ever hear comes from her baby mouth 13. When she's hungry or out of water she alerts us vocally or by scooting her bowl across the kitchen floor in to the living room 14. She gives the best high fives, seriously. Proof is in the video; listen to how solid her paw hits your hand, she means business! |
THE MiCKS W E E T B O Y
“Thank God you left, now I can finally poop!"
#TheMickMiles
The first time I saw his photo and read his SPCA story, he imprinted on my heart. I couldn't stop thinking about him, even a week and a half later, so after crying when realizing Diesel's one year anniversary was approaching, we knew we needed to turn that sadness in to something positive. I called the SPCA and inquired about “Ricky." The lady on the phone was so ecstatic, her reaction was as though we just told her, “I'm giving you $100,000,000!!" (Ricky is 9 years old). We met him on Good Friday. He wasn't even supposed to be there.

PEARL GiRLM O N S T E R
“I bet that brick wall taste AMAZING!"
#PearlTheMastiff
Pearl “Snap" Miles chose us on Pearl Harbor day, but in true kismet form we oddly had her name picked out beforehand, so it was just a crazy coincidence and further proof she was meant to be ours. She weighed 19.2 lbs when we brought her home at 9 weeks old. Her dad, a Texas Grand Champion, weighs in at 235 lbs, and her mom, a world champion that was flown in from Hungry, is 210 lbs, so our girl Pearl will defiantly hit 200 pounds fo sho!

STEEL[iE]T H E C A T
“Hi. I live here now."
#SteelyCat
Steel strolled in to our lives two days before our 11 year wedding anniversary (the “steel" anniversary - can you guess how he got his name?). Cody was working in the garage and Steel sprinted in and demanded to be pet. He actually scared Cody at first. Then Cody made his first mistake. He text me photos of him petting this rando cat in our garage, so naturally I ran out there and started to gush. I never had a cat greet me like a dog, give me kisses, and snuggle up so close. When Cody went inside to grab a drink, Steel tried to follow,

DiESEL HOSSO U R F I R S T B A B Y
“Walk?! Did you say walk?! [sigh] No, you said guac-amole”
#DieselHoss
Diesel was born on Aug. 1, 2009. We picked him at a breeders house when he was 7 weeks old, already weighing a whopping 16lbs! He was a ball of pure cuteness & anxiety. We knew he was our dog the minute he face planted into the ground due to relaxing a bit too much while I was scratching his belly. D is what you'd call a dogs, dog- Don't get me wrong, he loves house guest, but due to his intimidating size people tend to tense up causing him to tense up & become nervous which makes the people more nervous... it's a cycle. But the minute he brings you a toy, you're in for life!

DiVA LOVET H E D i V A
“AAAH! His drool hit me!"
She left as quickly as she came into our lives. We only had the pleasure of spending a week with her. She was only 11 weeks & 1 day old when she passed away on Jan. 30, 2011 at around 10:30 am at the Barker Cypress Animal Clinic where she had been for the past 2 days, hooked to an ivy due to dehydration and lack of eating. We rescued Miss Diva from Furry Pals Rescue Organization. Diva had been dumped in a dumpster by a backyard breeder along with her mom and other siblings (people suck sometimes). It's here where we believe she contracted her disease that eventually took her little life, trichomonas foetus, a parasite that isn't common that is contracted by drinking dirty water.
