    Mindless chatter tues

    Every time I fall asleep, I wake up suddenly like I stopped breathing or something. Its really freaky so I'm awake and thought I'd start todays thread.

    Pet supplies plus had 35 lb bags of chicken soup on sale for 27 bucks. Its not my food of choice for the dogs, but hey times are tough and that's a good deal.

    I got my tax return back yay. Now I just have to decide between paying off one cc or splitting it between 2. I'm so undecided.

    • Gold Top Dog

     Depends on the interest rate for the two cc's. If they're about the same.. split it between the two. If one is substantially lower then the other. Pay off the higher one completely and then get rid of it, or ask for a lower rate.

    DH and I slipped away for a mini vacation this past weekend for the first time in years. It was fantastic. I still can't believe it worked out so well.

    We got home yesterday morning and I ran off to the gym for my session with the trainer. Aren't I supposed to be hurting after that?? I think I'm pushing myself hard while doing it...

    Today should be an easier day I hope!  I have to get a report out this morning, but this afternoon I get to play, er I mean test, a new vehicle technology for 2013 (that is if car companies are still around in 2013).  I love doing test drives! 

    DH and I are on a diet (sparkpeople.com), they plan out your menu, shopping list, etc.  They actually make it pretty easy and the best part is it is free.  However, I am STARVING!!!  I put on some weight after I stopped nursing and I want to get it off before we go to Palm Springs to visit my parents in April.  I refuse to be bigger than I was last year!  I just don't have the time to work out like I used to. 

    Have a good day everyone!

GRRR! I don;t know what I'm supposed to do now, I love this darn dress!

    I'm in yet another software training session for the next two days.  YUCK !!  As soon as all the employees have this software down pat - the company will decide something else will work better and we'll all have to train on that.  It's a never ending cycle I tell ya !!!

    My neck hurts, I hope I don't have meningitis.

    Fiance was out of town for the weekend, so I did a ton of wedding research. I've decided the look I'm going for is a vintage-y, rustic look with a few contemporary things thrown in there. I found a dress I absolutly love, decided on invitations (I'll make them myself), and decided sort of on the centerpieces  - I am going to get my dad to make me wooden boxes/vase things this summer, and I'm going to have super colourful bouquets of flowers in them! ohh and I've decided my bouquet I think, orchids and iris's! I'm getting more into this wedding planning. Its quite fun! I'm glad we put if off until Aug 2010, I have so much more time.

    Got my taxes done and e-filed last night.  I'm glad that's out of the way.  I used Turbo Tax for the first time.  Really easy to use.

     I'm so tired today.  I wish I could go home and curl up with the dogs.

    I did my taxes last weekend and my refund posted yesteray, almost a week early....yeah!  I am going to pay off the rest of the kitchen remodel and then put the rest into savings.  Now the payment I have been making on the kitchen remodel can go into the baby's savings account for future needs. 

    Yesterday was Devin's first day of school (a.k.a. daycare) and my first day back to work.  It went better than I expected.  I missed her all day but didn't even go at lunch time to nurse.  I am not sure if I should feel bad about that or not.  I decided it would be harder on both of us to leave her a second time on the first day in a new routine.  She was happy as a lark last night and slept really well last night.  She didn't nap as much there as she normally does at home.  She does usually have a wakeful day every couple days and maybe that is why but I guess the next week will really tell!  She was exhausted but not at all fussy and she talked to us for a good hour or two before we put her to bed for the night.  She told us all about her day.

    One good thing about coming back to work now is that tax season is in full swing so I got to jump right in!  Tax returns are my favorite part of my job and keep me really busy all day so the day just flew by!

    I did NOT want to get out of bed today.  Dreary today and the threat of snow and I just could have spent the day cuddled with my dogs.

    That lovely spring like weather we had for almost a week really triggered coat blowing and I've been up to my knees in fur.  Vacuming every day, furniture and all, and I'm STILL up to my knees in fur.  Yesterday  I vacumed dogs.  Seems to have helped a little.  Now I'm only up to my ankles!  Thor has ALWAYS liked being vacumed, although he prefers the shop vac to the regular one, but, after he laid so calmly for hand combing and vaccing (read just using my hand to gently pull mounds of undercoat) the others decided that the vac was an ok thing.  Shocked me, but I'll take it.

    Was supposed to work today, but now I don't need to, so maybe I can get the last two new blinds put up.  The darned window box frames make it tough to do because THEY have to be taken down, then the old window treatments removed, new installed and perfectly or the darned box won't fit back on right.......Would rather be earning MONEY today, but......

    Leis, I had a puker this morning too.  I saw Shooter grab something off the ground while we were at the park this morning but he had swallowed it before I could stop him.  I assumed that it was a cat crunchy or something equally tasty, & made a mental note not to let him anywhere near my face.  About 10 minutes later he puked a condom.  Ick!  After that, cat poop doesn't seem so bad.

     first snow this winter!! (well, unless you wanna count the 5 snowflakes back in december that i completely missed, and only heard about) was so not expecting it though (didnt look out my window) so no snow pup pics. if it's still there tomorrow, i'll take my camera! :)

    that is all..

     ^ oh that is the grossest thing ever!

    I thought it was gross when timmy went through a phase of eating his poop and then puking on car rides. Never have I smelled something so disgusting.

    Oh gross!! And I agree cat poop would have been so much better!

    Must be something in the air. Joker had the craps this morning. Hoping it's passed because we have class tonight!! JJ's mom's gonna let me borrow one of her cars till we get the explorer fixed.

    Lillie and Joker are back to being leashed. They seemed to have forgotten what come means. Is it summer yet?

    Im taking a friend's 8 year old daughter to class with me tonight. She's gonna handle Joker while I handle Fynn. Hopefully they do good together and I can have a backup handler. Hehe. That's my secret agenda.Stick out tongue Until Samantha is old enough that is.
