I AM HOME!!

I'm so glad that you are well enough to be home, Callie!

 Whoo hooo Callie!!! So glad to hear your home.

The significant other is off on a 3-day ski trip. Nearly a free trip too (just has to pay for his food) and staying at the mountain itself. He'll be doing live blog updates and writing a review at the end, for this free trip on his web page. He's doing this with two other bloggers (one of whom arranged this deal with the mountain). He's a really good writer and it seems recently his page has really started to attract attention beyond fellow skiers. As much as I'll miss him lol, this means 2 nights of sleep for me free from his snoring! Also, he'll come back a happy camper. He needs this break badly.

Back to work for me. End of month stuff to wrap up. Fun fun!

Congrats on being home, Callie.

Congrats on the new job, Janice.

So I was walking Jamison down a kind of busy street yesterday when his collar snap buckle thing came apart.  So I'm holding the leash which is still attached to his collar while he's walking down the street leashless and collarless.  Since he's definitely not the brightest bulb in the box, I was worried he would run right in front of car, so I scream really loud "Jamison  . .  . .  come here" !!!  Imagine my surprise when he actually did. LMAO !!!

 Excellent news about Callie and Janice! 

I went to bed very early last night and hope that is what I needed to not feel so tired - busy day ahead!

Bugsy destroyed one of the kong genius toys this morning, definitely not genius!

Great job Jamison!!! Scary moment Deb, glad that he was such a good boy

Our 'trampoline temperatures' continue - was 81* Monday, 50* yesterday and this morning it was 25*.  Craziness!

Good boy, Jamison!  Deb, did you immediately take him shopping for a new collar?

I didn't take him because I was afraid his collar  would come undone again, but I went straight to Petco to get him a new one.  Then we had an extremely satisfying make-out session.

I think I need this after my traumatic ordeal yesterday.

I've been on the phone for an hour and a quarter already try to simply MAKE one appt and firm another up -- why do you say your dr's office is "open" at 8 when there's no "body" there til 8:30 and then they tell you that you probably don't have what they need only to then discover that they don't KNOW what they need?

pass the 2X4 please. 

...digging 2x6 outta the shed and passing to Callie...  Here ya go !  This will require the big one  :)

 Good grief I'm ready for spring.  It's below zero again, high today of 15.  Good news is the increased daylight.  That makes a huge difference. 

Waiting for a service technician to come this morning and pass judgement on the water softener.  I think we are going to have to fork over big money for a new one.

After 6 days of working, I have two days off !  Whee !!!  Dinner plans tonight at my favorite Mexican place, I'm pretty sure Margaritas will be involved.

Jamison...don't listen to your Mommy.  Your bulb is at least flickering brightly !

Janice-Congrats on the new job !

Karen I saw your post about the kong genius. They need to make a black one like the tough kong. I will be interested to see how they respong.

Not much going on here today. Steriods are just about done so the headaches are back. Tonight we are training at a new place tho so I'm kind of excited. A tree farm. That should add a nice challenge for the dogs.

My boss left for tx this morning. I had to listen to the tx weather report every day this week. That was just mean. I told her to send me photos of the sunshine, birds, etc. So, being the smartass that she is, she sent me a photo of the runway in Mi with snow piled up everywhere. I could really use a trip, business or otherwise, to a sunny and warm place right about now!

  Deb, I know your heart must have skipped a few beats when the collar broke.  Good boy, Jamison.  Dim bulb? Jamison?  He lives with you so he can't be that dim.  

Beautiful day today.  Sorry, Julie but it is and I hope your boss enjoys her stay.  Sorry about your headache. :(

I've got to get busy around here but I keep getting sucked into different things that are completely non work related. 

Karen, thanks to you, I am now trying to figure out how to move somewhere that I could hunt with a pointer.  lol  An Elhew dog would be nice....

Yea Callie!  Good Boy Jamison!  Ms Deb I will take a slice of the yummy chocolate, hold the cherries but not the vodka :)

Hubby took advantage of the 65 degree temps yesterday to grill the most awesome 2" pork chops last night.  We were very concerned that we would have the whole community at our door for dinner....it smelled so good.  It tasted even better than it smelled.  Now that was a sure sign of spring right around the corner.

Lots to do today, have a great day all!
