I took my brother to dinner last night for his birthday. We had a very nice time and a delicious meal. :) His cell phone never stopped ringing and he finally turned it off. One of my pet peeves is people who take calls at times like this but since it was his birthday I understood that people were wanting to wish him a happy birthday. Still, is was getting pretty annoying.

I'm trying VERY hard not to get mad about the upcoming surprise party planning. Every day brings a new revelation of things that aren't going to get done unless I do them. Now we are going to have to take two vehicles (two hour drive to party site) in order for us to bring all the things needed. I just keep telling myself that once we are all there it will be fun and worth all the hassle and irritation.

Chocolate is not safe anywhere near me today. Thank you hormones & PMS.

Jackie? Would have been nice if some of those people calling had taken the time to take the poor man out for dinner??

Doesn't it stink to be the responsible one? I hate when everyone elses responsibilities get dumped on me.....

The new site is GREAT!! It is up a lot higher than the original, much more level and as an added bonus, the seasonal people who were here haven't had their cable disconnected yet!! There is NO cable here except for the long term folks who have the cable company come out and do it for them. The camp itself doesn't offer cable for any price, so its not only great to be able to see an actual NEWS program but we had the added bonus of being able to get NESN and see the Red Sox on TV last night. I have no clue how long we'll have cable, but will sure enjoy it while we do. Has been THREE months since we've been able to watch TV!

Please keep stuff crossed about this house we're seeing tomorrow. There are very few houses and the people doing the renting get to pick and choose.

Have a great day everyone!

Bad sinus pressure! Bad! I need to go back to bed.

The worst noise in the world is an alarm clock.

Gracie's so snoozy. I hate to leave her, but I gotta go to work. So relieved there's nothing bad going on w/her back/legs/joints.

I love how Good Morning America says it's going to be 101 today in Denver, but our local weather says a high of 95. Way to be dramatic, GMA. lol

Hope the sinus pressures go away for the semi-sickies. Have a good morning, all!

Paige, I forgot to say I'm glad Gracie's vet visit went well and she is okay.

I just got off the phone a while ago with the pitiful party planner who dropped the ball into my lap. I laid down the law on what she was going to do and told her if she didn't get these things done, I'm not bailing her out and not covering for her. The latest from her was that she didn't even know if she had transportation to the party and could we pick up her and her kid and the cake/decorations she is supposed to bring? WTH?! That was the last straw for me and I lit into her pretty good.

Paige, I'm glad Gracie didn't have any ortho issues going on.

Ugh.. I have to re-take that stupid sleep test tonight since apparently I've figured out how to turn the machine off in my sleep!! So not amused..

My wrists and elbows hurt and it feels like I twisted my knee.. I think today is a day on the couch with a book after I walk the dogs.

I found out yesterday that the guy who was hired to do the repairs on the house said he wasn't commissioned to finish the fence!! But he was commissioned to tear it down and put up the back part.. So now I have 1/4th of a fence. Needless to say I am not impressed.

Jackie - Good for you!!!!! I'm glad you stood up for yourself!!

Deb - ew...just...ew lol reminds me of the restaurant "Wild Wing". You can get chicken wings with sauces of all different flavours, including chocolate, raspberry, I think they have vanilla as well. There's a bunch more weird ones, but their online menu isn't loading very well for me right now, actually, that window is now completely frozen lol.

Can dogs have a ham bone that has been cooked?

Kim - I don't think they should have cooked bones, don't they splinter? Unless ham bone is different...I don't know Smile Btw, I noticed the weim on your FB, very cute! What's his name?

I'd watch them carefully with the ham bone. And if they start to break pieces off then I'd take it away.

So I found techno.. Lol. I've got coffee and techno music.. What a good way to start my day.. All I need now is to find my Ipod so I can update it.
