Mindless Chatter - Wed

    Mindless Chatter - Wed

    Can you believe that it's Wed already? This week is going by fast.

    Last night my ears popped like when you're going on an air plane. That hurt! I'm guessing that's all the congestion in my head.

    Yesterday was a long day. The vet appt for Dakota went really well (I posted about it in the general section). Then I took the dogs to the dog park and we didn't get home until 8:30 for dinner. By that time Dakota was hungry enough to eat her bland food with no complaints ;p Maybe I should make her wait that long every day.

    I am a firm believer if they are hungry they will eat. I would always just pick Max's food up after 10 minutes if she didn't eat. I would not try again until the next day. I knew she wasn't going to starve, and she had to learn "you eat when it is offered". I will check out the general chat thread, I want to hear about Dakota's appointment.

    We took Teddi and Belle for a walk together, and it was like Teddi knew. We got to this one park, there was a baseball game going diagonally across the park, but little else so I decided she could have a little freedom and let her off leash! YIPPPEEEEE, YAHOOOO, YEAH!!!!! Off goes Teddi, Indifferent  She starts running a bee line for the ball game. Both Art and I are calling her, she is not listening. Then she starts a slow right turn back towards us. By this point I now realize Belle is HOT on her trail, she wants to roll Teddi! NO BELLE DON'T!!!! We called her off. Phew! Teddi was so happy to stretch her legs for a minute. We didn't let her do a lot but it definitely made her happy. She was much more complacent the rest of the walk.

    I need to get some work done today. I did squat yesterday, I could not get focused.

    wow am I glad yesterday is over - that day was cursed!

    My cell phone survived which is good because replacing it would have been extremely pricey.

    Lots to do today - Bugsy is waiting for his walk, its 33* this morning so I am delaying it.

    Tonight is our 4th class out of 6.  If the trainer doesn't give us something to do tonight I am going to speak to him, the practice is good but I want solutions not avoidance.

    Have a good day all!

    Tonight we are going to my bil's for a bbq. They asked us to bring food to grill because neither of them can cook, and they don't know what to buy. Thats fine because I really like to cook, but I don't know what to get. bil's girlfriend is really picky. She doesn't like red meat, pork or cheese, and I don't think she likes spice. BIL likes hamburgers I know, doesn't like sausage. I think he likes Chicken too.

    Anyone want to help me out? There is just going to be 4 people (and 4 dogs, but they don't count). I'm thinking:

    a) a whole butterfly chicken (sprine cut out), but I'm not sure if that would be intimidating for them. We are bringing the meat and then showing them how to cook it.

    b) turkey burgers w/ avacado or cheese

    or

    c) hamburgers and chicken breasts (or hamburgers and turkey burgers)

    This is bad, but my boss has been sneezing and hacking and coughing for like the last 5 minutes straight and it totally annoys me/grosses me out.  I know he can't help it, it's just so annoying to hear like 15 HUGE sneezes in a row and then really loud nose blowing and snuffling.  Ick.  Sorry boss.

    Today my foot is back in the cam boot.  I haven't worn it for over a year, but yesterday my foot ached bad and did these little cracking things along the top.  Two Dr's have not been able to figure out what is wrong or find a solution, so for now I just ignore it and limp, or wear a huge toe-to-leg cast when it acts up.  The sucky part is driving with my left foot.  My sandal always gets caught under the brake!

    I LOVE HAMBURGERS WITH AVACADO AND CHEESE!!!!! YUM!!! 

    OK now I want a burger.

     Do dogs melt?  LOL  I put the dogs out with their breakfasts this morning and came back in for a nice long hot shower.  Tyler took Kali to visit his Grandma for 2 days so I get the house to myself.  wheeee!  Kale stayed at my mom's.  Anyway, after my 40 minute or so shower, I got out, did my hair, yada yada yada, and came out of my windowless bathroom.  Its pouring outside!  Like Torrential Downpour!  Oopsie!  Guess I should have made those doghouses after all.  I don't wanna go get them in the rain!  I just did my hair!  Sigh.....

    If she doesn't like red meat, how about some veggie burgers?  They have some really good ones out now that actually taste better than most meat.

    I've decided that boys are dumb. I've been interrupted TWICE to help BF do things on his computer. First because his ebay account wouldn't let him log on (uh, duh, turn caps lock off!) and this time because he couldn't figure out how to print his powerpoint slides more than one on a page. And then he complains that they're in color. Pffff.

    I have serious studying to do. Ugh. I hate studying, especially stupid music history. I just want it to be summer vacation already!

     how the heck do you change avatars? I've tried a zillion times and it just seems stuck on my old one.

    • Gold Top Dog

    are you saving the changes? I think you just go to edit profile and its somewhere in there, then upload your new pic...

    • Gold Top Dog

     Yeah, I'm following the directions and hitting save. It just isn't changing.

    • Gold Top Dog
    I think it takes time to change, doesn't it? For me it looks like Dakota and Neiko sitting in the back of a truck.
    • Gold Top Dog

    Yeah, that's the old one. I can make it so that it doesn't show any avatar (or atleast that default red one). But when I switch it to show a different avatar it just goes back to the old pic (dakota and neiko in the back of the truck)
