Mindless Chatter - Wed

I agree, I think chocolate might be needed!  Seriously lmichelle, I am sorry you're having such a rough time.

I am STARVING, which is unusual for me, I don't have much of an appetite these days.  I eat a late lunch on days I have agility class because I won't eat dinner until 9 or so.  Hopefully Ben does well, and I don't fall and give myself whiplash again....I promised Lani a video of us running the course!  I need to teach DH how to use my video camera....which means I need to make sure I know what all the buttons do lol. 

Mushroom ravioli, anyone?  It's almost ready. 
 

It must be something about today, because I am starving too. I got breakfast on my way in too, and I took my meds today. I'm usually not hungry all day when I remember to do that (one of the side effects I like). I'm not eating until I go home, at about 1:15, which I am sure the office manager will be happy about, because they are horribly behind. However, I have to be at another job at 4, and Max has to get out. So, clearly I am using my time very wisely. Actually, I am, because I know that nobody really will check to see what else I was doing on the computer. I also know about what rate I am expected to be getting work done, so it's ok if I check some boards and my email as long as I am still working within my target rate, right?

aight idk who actually pays attention to me when i write but if you do i need an opinion...

from 9pm - this MORNING a noisey little bulldozer was outside cleaning up snow allllll niiiight loooong... i seriously didn't get a wink of sleep and this happens all the time now and i woke up this morning and BURSTED into tears and seriously started to have a psycho rant. My BF looked at me like wow i had no idea you were this upset about it. well neither did i but i haven't slept in days and i'm going INSANE... why the hell does the guy have to plow constantly outside my window we got like freaking 4-8 inches you don't have to work at it all damn night... jesus.... what the heck should i do?!?!?! i'm about to pass out at my desk or cry... either one... i haven't been able to focus in WEEKS

Weee, I love new windows! Our energy bill went down significantly after ours went in : )

We have zillions of windows - seriously - and the climate here just eats wood.  I have wanted to replace the kitchen & sunroom windows since we moved in but DH kept saying they are not too bad (grump).  Well last month we got a gas bill that would weaken anyone at the knees.  Unsurprisingly window were ordered soon after.  We are lucky in that he is great at DIY, few jobs are not within his realm so depending on how things go we should have ten new windows in by the end of the weekend or sooner

i told him its the best Valentine's Day pressie ever (I'm majorly into being green so these are super green windows that will save on heating and AC)  Very excited!

BTW I hope I didn't freak you out re Osteo.  My sister was 95lbs, 5'4" at 24 and was told by her Dr about 10 yrs ago that she had best do some weight bearing exercise and get more calcium in her diet. 

Nah, the osteo information was helpful! I had a cup of coffee from Starbucks and I order it with 1/2 milk 1/2 coffee : ) or else I get all jittery. Mmm.

Mushroom ravioli, anyone?  It's almost ready.  

For breakfast? It's only 10:30 am here.   Will you save me some for lunch?

I think I deserve a lemon cranberry muffin.

Oh will you stop it with all that lemon cranberry muffin talk? You're making the pregnant lady drool all over her keyboard. *zap*   

 So our guest dog Mac had a spot on his back that was yucky and gooey and about the size of a dime. Last night I decided the best way to clear the goo was to get him in the tub with a nice warm bath.

Little did I know it's been a while since his last full grooming. (His coat looked fine before!) Anyway, two hours later, Mac was clean, dry and my entire upstairs was covered in Aussie fur. I am not sure why I decided it was a good idea to force air dry him in my office, but what can you do once the fur starts flying?

This morning the spot on his back is dry and less angry looking, so I think it was a hot spot. Time to do a search to find out how to treat those!

Is there any law that pertains to noise levels after a certain amount of time?  Maybe you can call your city department and find out, then report them.  And don't worry about being close to tears, if I am not asleep by 11pm I cry.  Literally, because i count that I only have such and such hours left to sleep before work.  I stress out a lot over that!

All I can suggest with respect to you being tired at work, get sugar in you!  I know it sounds cliche, but it works!  Grab an energy drink and go to it! lol.

That's a really good idea! Knowing the police here tho they will be like "mama do you want the place plowed or not" everytime I call them they are such jerks... I'll call the city dept during the day time see if i can figure it out...

I've been sucking down coffee all morning... going to go find the Snickers... bad thing with suger is it makes me crash later on

 Well I went to bed early last night and slept great just still feel tired. I need to clean my room and then beg my mom to let bf stay the night since he can't stay tonight with his friends that he has been staying with due to his ex girlfriends is staying tonight. They get along ok, but it's just the fact she is his ex and I'm gf he doesn't want rumors started about them getting back together that he is cheating on me even if we know the truth he doesn't want to deal with the rumors. So hopefully my mom will let him spend the night if not then I'm just packing my bags to spend the night with my dad if she wont let him stay the night which I count on her saying no.

I'm starting to hate trying to find a place to live every one that I called last night about their ads in the paper all them are gone and the one place in the paper I called I hate the place. We called tons of people Monday about places and no one still hasn't called us back, I would call them but most of the places we drove by and took the number so I don't know which number goes which house. I just hope something pops up this weekend and we can be able to jump on it and get it. 

Melinda - have you tried craigslist yet?

lmichelle- if you're into dream interpretation, you can check out the "Dream dictionary" at www.dreammoods.com - it's a pretty useful source.  However, I think you can clearly tell that last night's dreams were just BAD - scary - and all relate to your current situation w/the stalker getting out of jail, etc.  I'm so sorry you're dealing with that!!!  I wish like heck that we could protect you from this dude!!!!

I started Jada's training yesterday and she was terrific!!!  We practice this way for another two days, and then two days where we proof it w/tougher distractions, then shorten the leash, add more distractions, and then training class. Since Jada has aggression issues, I think this long consistent course is going to be best for her.  (I even started teaching an automatic sit at every stop.  She learns quickly - I think it's going to be about making it clear that I mean it each and every time.)  Man, she would be fun in Rally - guess it's time to look into venues other than AKC.

 I've tried craigslist just nothing around area all the places they have for rent are like a hour away from where we are looking at and that it's too far away to be traveling back and forth to work.

 Home again... maybe not such a good thing. The roads were terrible, a few already flooded, and several were starting too. I just told my mom not to go out, because the roads where she was going to go floods. My sister, being the brat that she is, whined about it when I told her this, because she wants to go to laser tag tonight. Uhh... sometimes, safety is a little more important than fun. It's not like it's something that doesn't run every week, and I think the other people who were going to come will understand why she might not have, or perhaps they won't come themselves. Anyway, the two of them (mom and my sister) are arguing over it. Also, it's 3 and my sister is just now getting dressed. Talk about ridiculous.

I'm going to the job I like to go to still, because it is just across the street, and there is no risk of the road between here and there flooding.
 

Note to self... do not drink 3 cups of coffe & only eat 3 mini Twix bars... my whole body is shaking right now like i have the flu and i feel like i'm going to be sick... just ordered some food for delivery to the office... hopefully that helps uuugghhhh stupid caffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeene

Pomeranian <3

uuugghhhh stupid caffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeene

Oh yea...sugar + caffine + empty stomach.....blegh!  I know that feeling.  Hope you ordered something yummy!
