Tired Tuesday talk

but she doesn't seem interested. I suggested volunteering and she said she'd think about it but I could tell she won't.  I love her to pieces but I guess I'm disappointed in her. Is that even fair to feel about a friend?

I understand. To me it sounds like she might be depressed, actually...could probably use some support. It's tough on people to lose a job and that defeated feeling can be super hard to shake.

I hope you can turn your mood...is there any chocolate handy? Or maybe some CCR tunes? I am listening to "I Put A Spell On You" by them right now and it's making me feel quite relaxed...LOL!

  I am so mad at that guy who put the dogs in the back of his pick-up..err…

That just drives me nuts!  It's supposed to be illegal here, but it's not enforced. Geez.  Either put the dog in the passenger seat or leave him at home.

I was driving through downtown yesterday and noticed on one street all the trees have yellow leaves and they're dropping.  Isn't this a bit early?  I thought we had another month of summer, but the weather has  been so weird ... who knows?

I need to do some serious underwear shopping.  I was thinking of maybe just borrowing something from Jamison, but I think his taste in lingerie might be a tad kinkier than mine.

Plus they're all dirty from his photo shoot yesterday !!!!

 Speaking of underwear shopping... I don't need to do that for a few years probably. I am not kidding when I say I have to have at least 60 pairs. I love to buy them. If they're on sale, even if I don't need them, they get purchased.

Is there a good way of telling people not to buy me anymore knickknacks, books, shelf ornaments, or crap. I have so much stuff, and I have no where to put this stuff. I'm slowly cleaning up in my room, but even after cleaning, I don't have room for all the stuff I have, and the books. I don't even have time to read all the books I own but haven't read in the next 6 months. 

Also, speaking of books, something strange is happening right now. The next thing on my schedule is to do whatever I want to do (right now it's technically lunch and taking Luke out, but I got home earlier than I anticipated), and I decided to get lunch later at Taco Bell or KFC. Anyway, I am going to go do my reading for school, by choice.  I am going up to Boston on the 16th-18th for classes. I'm mostly done the stuff for the 16th. If I am done the stuff for the 17-18th, my plan is to go to the aquarium on the 17th during the day before class. I guess I really want to get this done so I can definitely go there. 

Pretty well got most of the people stuff and all of the dog stuff settled back in but I gotta take Billy back to the vet for a sterile draw this afternoon and then *my* homotoxicology appt. 

Lauren I'm so sorry this wedding has turned into such a freaking mess -- it reminds me why David and I did a short ceremony at Bok Tower with like 8 people there.  I just don't "do" drama well except at MY age I've learned to tell them to all go soak their heads EARLIER rather than waiting until the nth hour when everything is a big huge deal.  If it were me this woman wouldn't be getting 'another' chance -- because she won't behave (she hasn't seen the light yet -- she's feeling sorry for herself mostly). 

I had the gorgeous dress when I married Davey -- we just kept it SMALL and very do-able.  My maid of honor couldn't come (her sister has MS and Raine couldn't make the trip) and David had no friends in this country anyway so we just had a couple of people as witnesses.

BUT because we kept it happy and fun, we've re-newed our vows every five years since.  We did it at 5 and at 10 and in 2 more March's we'll do it at 15.  I can't tell you how much fun that is.  We stay at the same place we stayed our wedding night, the same guy (who's getting very elderly now) has officiated all those times and HE is totally excited to see David and I "grow" together. 

I honestly believe it's NOT about that "one day".  Sheesh - it's ONE DAY but the total "stress" is unreal, and then it's like people think they can't ever do anything wonderful again. 

HAVE FUN!!!!  That's where the good memories are!!  (oops, off my soapbox!)

Yes, tell them you'd prefer not to star in an episode or two of "Hoarders".  LOL

Deb, where are our pics of Jamison?  How long do we have to wait?

I guess a couple of days.  The photographer puts them up on a website and then I pick which ones I want.  You guys can all help me pick !!!

I totally second this^.

My DH and I eloped after my mother for over 2 years made it pure Hell planning our wedding. We eloped in NH- brought all 3 dogs with us- in a town we both loved. April 24, was our first wedding anniversary....guess where we went? Yup, NH. With the dogs. And we had a **GREAT** time.

You may be right Gina, but she's not depressed about losing the job. She's very happy not to be working and is hoping never to work again. That's not realistic but she doesn't want to talk about when unemployment runs out.  I do think she's bored but just not bored enough to step outside her comfort zone. Maybe she's not bored and I'm just bored for her.  For the 2 wks after her eye surgery, she talked about the daily routine of vinegar soaks and applying ointment. She said "what did I talk about before I had this surgery?" and I said "you talked about how you spent 4 hours cleaning up your extra bdrm" . We laughed like crazy. Fortunately, we both have a great sense of humor.

My dr. called me this morning about my latest lab tests. My WBC and Neutrophil counts are still low, even a little lower. He mentioned bone marrow biopsy and cyclical neutropenia. I looked it up but it was way more complicated than my busy brain has time to decipher right now. He wants me to retest again in 2-3 wks. Urine test wasn't great again either, so I get to redo that. I'm pretty sure that it's my own clumsiness that's messing that one up, so I'll have to try peeing better I guess.

I've been keeping busy today at work but thought I'd pop in and see if you guys were keeping it clean.  lol

Xebby, seeing dogs ride in the back of trucks is such a huge thing around here, like in NM.  Makes me crazy mad.  When we were going to that party a few weeks ago, I saw a guy in a truck with a big yellow lab riding in the back, loose.  Every now and then the lab would stand up and look over the side.  Right before we exited the highway (70mph,btw) I saw this truck wildly swing back and forth.  My niece and I thought he was losing control but he was apparently trying to make the dog stay down.  He almost threw the dog out of the truck. 

Deb, I can't wait to see Jamison's glamour shots. :)

Cathy, I hear you on the friend issue.  She could be depressed but it's hard to get someone to see that from a distance.  Maybe when she's visiting you can talk to her about it. 

Well, back to being productive.  Tina, I need a gold star. :)

Karen, I meant to ask about your Aunt.  I'm so sorry it's dragging on.  (((hugs)))

I did so much smeggin' housework today I feel like Wilma Flintstone. Good thing I am hot like her too, or I'd start to worry.

  We still can't figure out how folks manage with ONE in daycare, let alone two, but I guess somehow that works out as well.  Around here, it's about $900-$1000/month for an infant. 

we're really lucky in that the lad's workplace offers a very, very good deal on daycare for employees' kids. I think it's funny, though, how many people ask us if it's really wise for me to go back to work after the baby is born..insinuating that my income is lower than the cost of daycare. Even if we didn't get the discount I'd still make much more than we'd be spending.  Apparently people think I make a waitress salary or something....

Now insurance for the kiddo will be another story...

Today was a day off, but my workplace had a meeting today, so Goose and I went in. (she needed her urine rechecked) She's now crashed in her crate, sleeping after her big day.   She got a vaccine as well. I'd been holding off on having it given until after her antibiotics were through, but since it doesn't seem like that will be any time soon, I went ahead and continued with her series. She's going to be too heavy to carry everywhere soon.
