    Mindless Chat Sunday

    I'm not sure why I'm up so early or why I'm starting this because I've got nothing new to report or any fun plans for the day.  It must have rained last night because the dogs had muddy feet when they came in from pottying this morning. :(  Julie must have used up all our good weather while she was here. lol    I hope she made it home safely and got smothered in doggy love from her pack. :)

    Twister and Belle got baths yesterday.  Rex's turn is today.  I love how funny they are after bath with the towel drying and then zoomies.  I wish I felt that good after a bath. lol 

    I have been craving cinnamon toast pudding since I saw it made on Food TV yesterday.  I have plans on picking up what I need at the grocery store today.

     After accomplishing nothing yesterday and most of last week, today I need to get my act together.  First off is taking B for his longest walk yet and see if we are good.  It is bath day for him too and then some lovely Frontline.

    It is going to be another stunning day - this morning I saw that my tulips started to emerge yesterday.  Spring really is coming

     Hope everyone has a wonderful Sunday - I'm heading out to look at houses in our new town!!! :D  Won't be back 'til late.

    Speaking of Frontline, due to the low temps, I didn't put Luke's Frontline on this month. I need to check if I even have any for him.

    I think my class for this weekend is in trouble based on the weather that's supposed to be coming. If it hits up there worse and we get canceled, that's not so bad for me. If it snows down here and I can't get to there, then I'm in trouble. I'll be forced to get there then. Right now it looks like it's going up north, but who knows, we've been getting hit hard this winter.

    Oh yes, you can count on bad weather! I'm planning a trip home to Bloomsburg this coming weekend, and everytime I do the weather is bad, it is a standing joke that whenever Mom comes they will have bad weather, hoping it isn't too bad after Thursday so I can get there, have not been home since December.  Nothing doing here today not even breakfast out it looks like. DH is still in bed.  Bonnie and I have been for our walk, it really is beautiful ouside wish the weather would stay like it is this morning.  Not doing much of anything today except read the papers and take an afternoon nap and walk again.

    Its my birthday today!

    Well, Lion woke me up at 5:45 this morning. Ehh, I love him anyways. LOL

    I snuggled with Lion, then got up and took all the dogs out to potty. We played in the yard for about 10 minutes and then Brownie and Cuddles wanted to go back inside. Lion was still wanting to play though, so I sacrificed my body heat and stayed outside 5 more minutes and played a quick game of fetch. Then, it was back to snuggling on the couch with Lion. At about 7:30 the dogs got breakfast and now they are laying down in the living room looking like angels! LOL

    I'm going to a movie with BF today and then I am bringing him to meet my parents. Wish me good luck? And after that, I'm going to a dinner at my Grandma's because she and I share the same birthday. Yay!!

    I'm really celebrating my birthday next weekend because me and my BFF are going to Omaha and Kansas City to shop!! Woo Hoo!!

    ETA It's freakin cold out!!!!! Warm weather pleaaasseee come back!!

    That is all.

    Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Gold Top Dog

    Yay! Rascal and I have the same birthday!

    Happy Birthday to you Rascal! How old is he turning?

    Happy Birthday, Mechanical Angel, & Rascal!!!

    Courtney, congrats on the acceptances to grad school.  I forgot to mention it earlier, but I'm very excited for you.

    It's warm, & foggy here this morning.  The dogs have already been out to play for a bit because the weather man is calling for strong storms later today.  If we are all going to be trapped inside, then it's best to be trapped inside with, at least, somewhat tired dogs.

    This is the first day, since Monday, that I've been able to eat a little without having to go pray to the porcelain god afterwards.  I've lost 9 pounds in the process, so I'm hoping that I am over this junk.

    At my wedding reception, I came to a decision to drop all contact with my grandmother.  I'm sure you all remember me saying yesterday that she was so mean to my mother, she made her cry. I decided to let it go for now and have fun.  At my reception, she sat by herself with a sour frown on her face the entire time.  People tried to come up to her and talk to her, she just scowled at them.  I tried to talk to her, she made a face and walked away sulking.  She left before we cut the wedding cake.  It was so bad that guests were coming up to me asking "what's your grandmother's problem?"  If it were just a family reunion, it wouldn't be so bad, but, if she can't fake a smile at her own granddaughter's wedding reception, I don't want her in my life anymore...which is sad because, of her 5 grandchildren, I was the only one who always made sure she had birthday cards and Christmas presents. My mom tried to tell me to be nice to her because she's redoing her will, but, really, Nasir and I have money. We don't need hers. Maybe that's why she was so rude and awful.  She was upset that we aren't broke enough to kiss her feet for her money like the rest of my cousins. She didn't even hug me when they got to the reception. Nasir's 13 yr old cousin who I've only met twice hugged me, but, my own grandmother didn't. She was the only person out of 45 that never told me I looked beautiful. I was too busy smiling and talking to everyone to be upset last night, but, it hit me really hard this morning.

    UGH. The puppy went off to another clinic for a hernia repair, which ended up being a multiple repair and an hour and a half long surgery... anyways. She came home with FLEAS! UGHH! She just had her advantage last week. I guess I have to go buy another $15 tube from Petsmart... since they are the only ones open on Sunday! She's LOADED, I'm so upset. I emailed the tech that worked the deal out for me... they should really spray their kennels, I'm sure she's not the only one that's come home with bugs,

    I'm planning a lazy Sunday, but I don't think it'll happen... too much to do!

    Ick.  Personally, I'd want to know what her problem was before I cut her out of my life, but that's me.  Maybe there's a medical reason?  (maybe that's just wishful thinking, that she isn't just in a nasty frame of mind.)  Was she always this way, or has this wedding triggered it, or was this one day the real problem?  None of my business, so I don't expect answers.  I just ask questions to prompt further thoughts.

    Glenda, while you're retraining bladders, can you work on the dogs here?  I was up at 4am, then 6:20, then 6:45, then 7:20 for all the many potty breaks these turkeys needed.  Patrick refuses to go out until he's ready, and when he's ready he's READY!  NOW!!  POOP NOW!!  NOW!!  he was the 6:45 potty break.

    ahh, what to do with my day?  It's snowing heavily.  I should make a run to Petco or Petsmart.  Hmm... what else...

    OH, and Happy Birthday to Rascal (sssh, he's one of my favorite idogs) and MechanicalAngel.

    And I'd be suuuuuper peeved that a dog that went in for surgery came back with parasites!

    No, that's her personality.  She thrives on creating conflict.  When my mother was a child, she was overweight, so my thinner aunt was treated better (never had to do chores, got a higher allowance, had a wedding fully paid for, but made my mom pay for her own wedding to my dad, etc.) She has always pitted the cousins against eachother.  I don't know why last night bothered me if I should be used to it, I guess just because you want everyone to be happy for you at your wedding reception.
