Mindless Finally Friday!! (really its Thursday)

Well, technically today is my Friday since I work a 4x10 schedule   I'm not really looking forward to tomorrow though; I have to take my 11 year old to an orthpoedic surgeon to do a consult for having a ganglion cyst removed from her wrist.  I think I'm more nervous about it than she is to be honest.

Then again, I'm kind of glad that we will be out and about tomorrow.  I'm expecting about 6 different deliveries from my recent online shopping ventures and my husband will probably freak out on me, lol.  Tyson's crate and three books that I ordered from Amazon are coming today, and I have another book, a treat bag, some fleece material, and some quilt batting all coming sometime next week, all in separate shipments.  The fleece and the quilt batting were purchased as money savers though...I'm making a mat for Tyson's crate rather than shelling out $50+ for one, so hubby should be happy about that, right?

Oh!  They are going to talk tonight!  Hard to type with crossed fingers.......

The verdict is in.  It was a mouse.  And, the mechanic DID wear a mask of some sort.  And, had to do a bunch of cleanup.  Thank you Mr. Mechanic Man.  Now I can drive without holding my nose.  He told DH he threw up.  lol....I'm sorry for laughing.  Not funny.

Awwww, poor guy.  And poor little mouse.  I hate to trap/kill them and I do my best to keep them out of things without resorting to that, but, there is a limit to my patience when it comes to mice.  Still, city girl talking, I hate to see anything die a scarey death.

I have a bit of a problem.  Momma took THREE of the babies and they haven't come back.  So I go outside and one little baby bird is sitting on top of the nest crying up a storm.  Pretty soon she goes to try to fly and falls.  Put on leather gloves and put her back in the nest.  I put a king sized pillow under the plant so that she'd have some padding if she fell again.  Sure enough, she did.  So, I pulled the plant down and set it on the porch.  She kept getting out of the plant and hopping around the porch.  Then I moved the plant to the fence so she's not a target for german shepherds.  Came inside for a minute and she's all comfy on the pillow.  Momma and the sibes have been gone for several hours and I'm not real sure what to do.  She wants to fly, but doesn't seem quite ready yet.  Corky lays an egg a day, not four, so I'm thinking this little one was maybe the last egg laid and isn't mature enough yet?  There is a bowl of high protein Corky food out there that I put out for the parets,but I don't want to encourage her to be dependent.  I want her to do what she's supposed to do.....but I'm sure not pleased that the parents left her on her own.

I guess as long as he didn't toss his cookies inside the vehicle or under the hood, it's cool.  Glenda, everything that can possibly be crossed for you is crossed.

Yay Stephanie for the good news on Apollo. Sorry about the tab though. Been there myself a few times but always glad that it's not serious.

Glenda - I hope the lead pans out. In the meantime, here's something to cheer you up:

Karen, have a fun and relaxing trip.  :)

OMG Jackie that story cracked me up - pure evil LOL

Stephanie I am so glad that it is a cyst on Apollo -  about the bill though!

Good news! It IS a cyst! Apollo's having it removed next Thursday. Bad news: $600. Eek. Oh well, he's worth ever frickin' penny.

 Glad to hear it's just a cyst!  The vet bill is enough to make you cringe, but like you said, our babies are worth every penny!

Deb, I'm drinking vodka tonight for you. I'm cheap, & I rarely drink vodka, so we have McCormick's Vodka. Tomorrow will not be pretty....

Karen, can I stowaway in your suitcase & go to the beach with you? I can be really quiet, & I don't take up much space.

YAY for Apollo's cyst!!!!

Glenda, we have all fingers & paws crossed for you.

Paige, how did the interview go?

Today must have been "stinky car Thursday." This morning, DH decided to take the jeep, so I was left with the Trailblazer, which, normally, isn't a big deal. Today though, DH had a stack of canvases in the cargo area so Bev & Cher had to sit in the back seat, together. Bev & Cher never ride in the same seat because a wrestling match always ensues. Today was no different. Unfortunately, during the wrestling match, Cher expressed her anal sacs all over the seat.  I couldn't tolerate the smell, so I dropped it off at the detailing place, so that they could deal with it. Of course, their shop is about 9 blocks from my office, so we had to walk to work, & then back this evening to pick it up.  It was hot, & I was in heels & panty hose, so I'm sure that you can imagine my displeasure. As if they hadn't done enough, Bev & Cher were holy terrors today at work. They wrestled, played, barked, growled, Cher swiped someone's trash can, Bevo caused the paint to peel throughout the office, ect....

Does anyone want two dobes?  I'll pay shipping, & I'll even send their stuff!

I will say that my new assistant may make it after all. Cher had residual anal funk smell on her, even after I wiped her down, repeatedly, with butt wipes, so I sent she & my assistant to the dog wash to take care of the horrible smell.  Cher came back smelling great, & happy that she got a Happy Meal out of the deal.

Cher expressed her anal sacs all over the seat.  

Hands down, you win the stinky Trailblazer Thursday award.  Ewwww. 

So glad to hear that Apollos' lumpies are just cysties. 

Its 9:30ET...wonder if Glenda got the call?

Ummm, guys?  Please keep everything coming.  There is "almost" an offer!!!  The guy is going to call and check references tomorrow!!  Asked if he got a contract out to Todd tomorrow if he could get it signed and back ASAP.  Ummm, wow!

So, Amanda?  You maybe weren't all that far off!  It looks pretty immediate AND it's not all that terribly far from Houston.......

Fingers and toes crossed.

Had a great lunch today with my teacher. 

I got the syllabus for my class today... my class doesn't start for about a month. Whoa. I guess I could get the books and get started on it, next week when I start making my plans again. 

I started graphing my exercise this week. I need to get up and do it today, because I only have 2 hours and 15 minutes left to do it, or my graph will look bad. I really don't feel like it though. 

Glenda, I truly hope that it works out for you.  I don't want to jinxx anything so I won't ask if it's in Texas, yet. 

Thanks for getting that!  DH is always worried about jinxing things.

Just maybe this power of positive thinking and trying to hang on to that "middle of the month" thing is going to work!
