Mindless Chatter - TGIF!!!

    Mindless Chatter - TGIF!!!

    Oh thank god for weekends. Seriously! I feel so stressed lately!

    Tonight I am heading to IN for a herding clinic with Neiko. It should be nice and relaxing even though it will be cold. I need to get myself some long johns before I go and need to seriously consider my wardrobe for the next few days. I'll be outside all day in 40 degree high temps so brrr.

    They are feeding chilli and cornbread for lunch. Bleh. I'll need to bring my own.

    Last night was a much needed break from the week. The weather was soooooo nice and I just hung out in the back yard with the dogs. I gave them the 2 halloween pumpkins to play with and eat. They loved that. 

    I also got my hair cut and colored. I love being pampered once in a while. I'm not sure that i like the cut though. It is shorter in back and tapers down to the front which is fine when straightened but my hair is naturally curly and I don't always want to straighten it. I don't think this cut looks good with natural curls.

    It sounds like you had a really nice evening!  I love getting my hair done and it's one of the only ways I pamper myself - no bubblebaths or anything for me!

    It was the opposite kind of evening for me with wet, cold rain all day and too much housework to relax.  Thankfully, Morrison is over his dislike of rain and we can still go to the park and get our zoomies in.  Overnight the rain turned to snow and it seems to be sticking so far, although it's still kinda wet and the streets don't have any snow yet.

    Perhaps I should think about investing in a winter jacket this season....  off to REI Online...

     It's an ugly rainy day here. I have to make Lillie and Kujo go out on rainy days. Joker could care less if the suns shining or if it's raining. He wants outside!!

    JJ blew the leaves away last night but you cant tell this morning.

    Samantha is mad at me. I wont let her watch Yo Gabba Gabba. She'll get over it!

    I need something to eat. I am tired of sandwiches.

    Our phones at work are screwed right now.  If someone calls in, and our first two lines are busy, people are getting our fax line.  Our fax line never was and never should have been part of our hunt group.  UGH!  This is a major pain in the behind.

    That's what I did yesterday, was getting just a little too chilly.   I also bought new wellie boots for walking Ben, since I broke the old ones.  The new ones are lime green, which makes me feel oddly giggly when I wear them.

     i wish i was happy about the weekend. only a month to go & i can return to 'normal' life.  Still sore from class on Wed, Have class tonight, they want to start @ 5, apparently i'm the only one that works!!! geez, got an 'OK' to be late, I have no idea how long this class is. It's bed assualts, the literally tuck you in like your going to bed, then someone jumps on top of you & tries to attack you.  Then tomorrow morning bright & early it's vehicle assaults ( we got rained out last weekend). I'm gonna be hurting!!

    Other than that everything is good! got my order of SUPER RAD fabric, it's 600 denier poly-duck fabric - aka buff fabric perfect for doggie blankets!  I made another last night ( i think i've made like 6 in the last two weeks!! LOL), its black & has reflecitve stripes on it, and a 'woodland' type fleece lining, the closures are velcro. I think it turned out pretty nice!

    My BF brought up the Oregon thing again. We've been tossing around the idea of maybe moving to Oregon, becuase it can possibly get a job up there making twice what he does down here & the cost of living up there is WAY cheaper than California!!!  So many scenarios like where would I work, what would happen if the relationship went south, what do we do with my house ( it needs a lot of work to be 'rentable';)........the list goes on.  Also I work for my dad so I feel like I would be somewhat abandoning him ( I know its weird) but it might be good for me since I've never lived out of this area.

    Sorry no jacket required here today, currently 75* Cool  Bugsy and I went for a 5 mile hike this morning around a lake, took some nice autumnal pics, might post a few. It didn't tire him out enough to not find the neighbor's cat hiding in one of our shrubs.  Cat owners please take care of your kitties.

    Looking forward to the weekend - now off to do some work

    Nice here today.  Tomorrow my brother and I are going to Lost Maples State Park.  The trees are beautiful and he is seriously into photography lately. DH is playing golf tomorrow with his boss!  Yikes, hope they don't have too many adult beverages along the course.  Luckily DH is not too prone to saying the wrong thing at the wrong time like" why does your buddy get away with never doing any actual work".  Time for lunch and the bank and the store for sandwich stuff and fill up with gas.  At least I don't feel like I have to take out a loan to fill up my old gas guzzler.

    Friday already? Wow. Well, I've trying to get a bike this weekend for me and Sam, so far it's not working. And I've got boxing practice at 11:30 tomarrow, that should last well past 1. Joy. Maybe it's just cause I'm tired that I don't feel like hitting anything this week.....I'll go to bed early tonight to see if it helps any, could also be from the headache. Sunday I'm going to the Holly Day Fair, just a crafts thingy were people can sell really cheep stuff for really high prices. It's fun to look around thou. Hopefully the women I bought Sam's leash from laast year will be they're this year - I want the matching collar! Or another leash with a different saying, I love this one's saying "One of Us is a Good Kisser!" so cute! They had 5 others last year......I'm thinking they'd make cute presents for the very few people I know who are aslo dog-people.
