Mindless Chatter - Tues

 Lol. I'd be a little worried about that one if she said that the Bullinger dogs are badly bred. I described everything to the trainer but I know where she's coming from. After reading about all the health problems from badly bred dogs. Also there's 4 shepherds in the club that have HD and back problems.  But I'm sure after speaking more at length with her about Tracy on Saturday, all will be good.

Yeah that was my thought too.  I'm assuming she will be impressed that you did your homework.  Whether or not one likes Tracy's dogs is really a matter of preference in type.  If she doesn't like German show line does in general, she may not like them, but I don't think she can deny that Tracy is a GOOD breeder who knows what she is doing and has clear goals. 

 I'm running out of clean dishes.  I wonder what that means?

That it's time to buy new dishes, of course! ;)

 OF COURSE! How silly of me!

Or make a Costco run and get one of those huge sacks of about 300 nice sturdy disposable ones.

 Don't laugh!  I've done that!

I buy paper plates for when we eat things like nachos where we melt cheese in the microwave, cause my plates heat up so much they cook the cheese to themselves and its next to impossible to get it off again without sandpaper.  But, everytime I get them, we get lazy and just use paper plates until they are all gone.  Sigh...

My fingertip is healing well enough. I can play guitar again and building my speed back up. At first, it was tough because of the impact brought on by a fast piece but it's getting better. However, the fingernail is coming off. It's gotten fairly loose and flops a bit, which is more a weird feeling than any pain.

Sunday, the ac on the house wasn't working. Fortunately, I was able to troubleshoot the problem quickly. Hard start capacitor, which helps the compressor run. And the company that helped me out before was working Sunday. So, I was able to buy another one and get it back up and running.

So, I only work part time because I go to college and have classes two days out of the week. Well I took a mod off (a mod is 8 weeks compared to a normal colleges semester) so I could work more hours and earn more money to help me pay for school & bills that I'm getting backed up on. Well I finally got approved to work one more full day a week and the whole week that the doctors are on vacation. YAY more money!

It's mac & cheese w/ hotdogs for dinner tonight because I don't feel like cooking. But I'm kinda bummed because I just saw that we have crescent rolls in the fridge...I could have had pigs in a blanket w/ my mac & cheese...Oh well maybe next week.

I've figured out that I can do a load of dishes in the time it takes Ben to get only half done ;). Shhh don't tell him! This is only the 2nd time he's done the dishes since we've been here (almost a year). If he's doing the dishes, I won't complain.

For those of you who love Mario but don't have a nintendo, you can play it online: http://www.1980-games.com/us/old-games/nintendo/s/Super_Mario_Bros_3/big-game.php There's other games you can play too like Mrs Pacman and Frogger! It's hard to get used to the buttons, but it's fun! I'm still thinking about buying a Nintendo on Ebay but just havn't made the time....

Ben's twin sister and our friend Brian are coming over tonight to watch The Invisible.

That's pretty much it for my Tuesday

I take it easy, now and then, too. DW is working until 8:00, so I've got a frozen pizza ( DiGiorno Garlic Bread Supreme)  I will be heating up in a little while. Yesterday, I cooked pork loins and green bell pepper and yellow squash and mushrooms on the grill, and I made my own rub for the pork. 3 tbsp of brown sugar, 1 tsp ancho chili powder, 1 tsp garlic pepper, wisked to evenness. Oh yeah, it was that good. Sunday, I will be smoking a turkey on the grill.

1.  I can't catch a break on getting Ari dog training

Sharon - what does this mean?  Have you checked out Fortunate K9?  www.fortunatek9.com - that was my trainer in NH - she's based out of Derry right now, and is fantastic.

 Less than 48 hrs until my inlaws leave

that's it

Would any of you marvelous grown-up people like to do my biology homework?

 Well my lasagna was a hit! But we had a mixup with plates and my neighbor's husband's dinner accidently got eaten so he got to finish off the cheese cake. And I'll be making a more advanced lasagna at the end of the month so he can have some.

I am the cooking QUEEN! Lol

 Glad to hear things are going well for ya oranges! :)

I just got back (last night) from a trip to Denver for work - once I send my paperwork in I'll be an official Delta Society Pet Partners Evaluator (therapy dog stuff!)!!!  The seminar/training was incredibly awesome (and brain tiring lol) and I enjoyed being in CO, though I'm glad to be back home with the doggies now.

So I'm still obsessing about a cat I met a while back (oranges you'll remember me mentioning him in a thread we went back and forth on a bit ago)...I think I'm going to go post a thread about my predicament now...
