Sleep Sucks!

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

I’ve been taking antibiotics for a few days now, so it’s no surprise that I’ve been sleeping for more than 12 hours a night. This is something that I absolutely HATE considering I like doing 16 hours of work then 8 hours of sleep. So cutting my work-day down by four hours has me feeling as though I’m missing out on a lot of shit with ‘rush jobs’. I should be resting, I’m aware of this. I just can’t sit and do nothing because it drives me crazy to just lay down and let hours pass where absolutely nothing is being accomplished.

I woke up today to find out that there’s the chance of having company on Tuesday. So I instantly looked around the house thinking “rut roh” it’s like a bomb hit it so I went through my morning ‘boot’ so to speak (cig, coffee, fed Bella – etc) then started on the kitchen. I’ve got the main counters cleaned off, the cabinet under the sink is straightened up and then I’ll get cracking on the island later this evening after I get some work done. The bathroom needs to be cleaned up and I’ve been trying to straighten up our bedroom for the last few days but everytime I go in there, all I want to do is lay down and go to sleep. It sucks!

I don’t like that FedEX doesn’t update their systems on the weekend. I’m trying to find out where my monitor is but since the tracking number I have isn’t even registering in the system, and knowing they more than likely ship out of Ohio,¬† it’ll probably be here tomorrow afternoon. Which would be great, I just have to spend some time tonight reorganizing my desk to be able to handle the second monitor and not look so cluttered. I’m not sure how I’m going to put them on the desk but I do know that everything that I have shifted to the one corner. I’ve got my lamp, pens, pencils, markers, koosh balls, rubics cube,¬† and other toys to fiddle with when I’m thinking and my hands won’t stop freaking moving. There’s even a glass Buddah over here but I stole that from Sean because he had the larger one and at the time my desk was A LOT smaller.

Either way it’s a lot of shit to accomplish on top of working and there just aren’t enough hours in the day thanks to these stupid meds. My tooth still hurts so I have no idea if they’re even working. I can say that my headaches have gone away, or just aren’t as heavy as they were over the past week. So maybe SOMETHINGS working, doesn’t mean I want to be sleeping during it though!

Bouncy, Bouncy, Bouncy!

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

It’s been a productive half hour, to say the least. I took Bella on her walk since Sean’s knee is acting up, I started a load of laundry, got all of the garbage taken care of and now I’m putting my credit card away because I just purchased another monitor. For a while now I’ve been looking for the same monitor I own so when I went and setup a dual monitor configuration, things would be uniform. Up until this evening, I was unable to locate this monitor. I logged onto Microcenter tonight while I was looking for a monitor for Sean and happened to come across the exact same one that I currently own. I jumped for joy, pulled out the card, had Sean search for the proper adapter and then checked out. It should be here by Wednesday, at the absolute latest.

I’ll have Sean set it up and configure it for me and then I’ll go from there. He’s in the market for a new monitor because the one I gave him is on the verge of death. I offered him the ability to use the one I just purchased for a few weeks so that he can get some money paid off on his credit cards and then go from there but he’s standing ground and refusing. It’s annoying because you can barely see anything on that monitor and he has to sit right on top of it in order to read anything, which is HORRIBLE for someone’s eyes. I’m a good three feet away from my screen and even mine hurt after a while.

Anyhow, I figured the dual-configuration would help me out. I’m always bouncing from window to window and it’s to a point now where it’s driving me bananas. So, to hold off on getting that iMac for a few months, I’ll setup the dual monitors and use the right for design work (since it will more than likely be right in front of me) and then the left for IM’s, email and other stuff. I’m just going to have to do some cleaning up because my desk is overloaded with water bottles at the moment. I should probably invest in a few gallons because these tiny 10oz bottles are going rather quickly. I just bought a 24-pack yesterday and now I’ve only got about 10 left. That’s 140oz in a day, which is about a gallon. It just hurts to drink my crystal light, even sugar free drinks are evil to my broken molar at the moment. Plain water is just about all I can stand, it sucks but it’s warming up down here and staying hydrated is just the way to go I guess.

Antibiotics and strange dreams…

Friday, August 24th, 2007

I’ve been kind of out of it for the last couple of days. I’m not sure what’s going on with my mouth but I managed to chip a tooth somehow and it’s flared up a little. I’m taking antibiotics and popping aspirin as though it’s candy but the pain is growing to be nothing short of completely annoying. Based on knowing this kind of pain, I’m almost certain that one of the nerves are exposed OR it’s an infection considering I’ve had some pretty nasty headaches for a few days prior to this even blowing up the way it did.

And the antibiotics? Forget it, I’m having the strangest dreams that are beginning to freak me out. For some reason, one of my dreams was of Princess. She was walking up-right and actually holding a conversation with everyone in the room. Being as she’s a dachshund, she couldn’t see over the lower-counter in the kitchen but this didn’t stop her. I’m not even sure if I remember the other ones, I just woke up with a really strange feeling taking over me that I certainly didn’t appreciate.

I just hope that by the time this really starts getting to me, I’ll be off the meds and won’t have to worry about it. I’ve also noticed another abcess coming back which makes no sense to me considering the root canal I had on it not too long ago. I’m just going to need to find a dentist down here that doesn’t over-charge with a lack of insurance. The guy I was going to back in NY has been a family doctor for many years, actually I think it started with his Father so it may be even longer than I think. I know my aunts been going to the same place since she was a child. But for a full root canal and temp filling he only charged me $120. Even with insurance that would have easily cost me a few hundred so I was certainly very pleased, and pain free at that. Now the filling is acting up, as a temp filling would of course. I think I’m going to have to head back to NY and see if I can get two teeth taken care of at the same time.

I’m to a point now where I just want to rip them all out considering how much trouble I’ve had with most of them. The thing is, it’s a family trait (dad’s side). We all have very soft teeth that are easily damaged but biting into a burger or something. We never understood why, we just know it costs a lot of money to keep them from all chipping in half and eventually falling out of our mouths completely. But for months I wasn’t have any trouble, I chipped this one a few nights ago on a piece of broccoli and it’s been bothering the crap out of me ever since.

I’m just getting around to comments now, Shauna I’ll email you within the next half hour. I’ll return everyone else’s when I get the chance, which more than likely won’t be until after my face stops throbbing.

MIA

Monday, August 20th, 2007

I’m way behind on many things. I just now got to the mound of email that was piling up over the last two days. I’ve been really busy getting loan based things in order but after thinking about it, while I do want to have a place of our own, we may wind up taking out a personal loan (instead of a home loan) and then going to rent an apartment. We really only need 1000sqft at the absolute largest. Naturally I want an actual HOUSE that I can call my own but at this point it’s safer to take the route we know we can afford instead of the route that throws a 30 year mortgage on our heads.

So I’m going down my check-list, making sure I know exactly where to start on things. I have a few things to process in Paypal and then I’ll get back to work on other accounts. I know Dick has been looking for me, I just responded to his email. It’s just been a difficult weekend, I don’t like dropping off the face of the earth but I’ve been working non-stop on multiple accounts for the last few months and I really just needed a break. I spent quite a bit of time sleeping this weekend. My schedule has gone back to waking up around 1pm which isn’t that great but I’m sure tonight that will change. I’ll get myself back in bed by Midnight and then get back on track. It shouldn’t be too hard for me, right?

I’m noticing quite a bit of trouble keeping on track with the software I’ve been using to organize myself. I wanted to get away from a pen and paper so for quite some time I’ve been using Active Desktop and it’s to a point now where I absolutely can not stand it. I found another alarm clock software download that I thought was pretty cool. It’s called Say the Time, and it’s a personal time management utility for Windows. It’s for those in the home computing market, mainly. It allows users to create multiple customizable alarms and reminders. You can hear the time spoken aloud, you can create a virtual sticky note and even customize the look of the task bar clock. Naturally the only option I’m really going to use is the sticky notes but that beats having them all over my monitor, you know? I’m playing around with the 30 day trial, it’s only like $25 so I may consider buying it. As of right now I’m content with it, I’ll have to use it for a little bit longer before I make that leap.

Time to get back to work.

It’s Saturday…

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

I woke up about an hour ago and I’m dreading even looking over my email at the moment. I have quite a bit of tasks to accomplish today work-wise, but I also need to get quite a few things done around the house as well. A quick shower and a trip to the vet will keep my afternoon busy. Then this evening I have a lot of cleaning to do, including giving Bella a bath. It’s been a week and since she’s been such a picky eater lately, she threw up last night due to the lack of food in her stomach. So I’ve been putting down a few different plates here and there so she can decide just what she’s going to be interested in. Unfortunately that isn’t working either, so I really don’t know what to do.

I can tell that it’s shaping up to be a really nice day though. There isn’t a cloud in the sky and it’s so much cooler today than it’s been this past week, I love it. For some reason the weather has been gorgeous on the weekends, which is typically when I spend the most time outside. Yay for days off – right? It’s going to be a half-day for me, little odds and ends then I’m off the computer until tomorrow morning. I don’t take multiple days off, never have. I’m not a workaholic but I’m the kind of person that needs to keep myself busy or I go crazy.

Yesterday things were slow so I wound up cleaning the office, it smells great in here thanks to my new Glade carpet fresh powder. I wound up vacuuming twice. Once with the shop vac to get the larger pieces up and most of the hair. Then I came back through with the Dyson to fluff up the rug without having to clear any of my hair out of the brushes, it takes a little longer to clean things but at the same time it takes much less time than stopping every 10 minutes to pull the hair out of the bottom of the Dyson – you know?

In any event, guess I should get to that email. I think I’m going to need some more coffee for this.

The Daily Do

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

A little while ago, Sean and I went out to do some shopping. We headed over to Dollar Tree to look for baskets because no one can beat $1. We then stopped in EBGames and I picked up a new game for the Wii and I bought him a docking system for his xbox360 controller. Turns out, it was the wrong one so we wound up taking it back and exchanging it. Either way he’s happy. A quick trip to AC Moore to look for other odds and ends, then wondering around Walmart for a little bit so I can look in the vitamins section and now we’re home.

I’ve been poking around the natural health stuff for a while now. I’ve been taking supplements with my diet that are working out pretty well for me. My energy levels are through the roof these days, which is more than likely the reason behind my accomplishing so much in the past few days. I’m right on track with all of my monthly goals, I’m at the 50% mark for my financial goals which works out great for me considering it’s literally the half way point of the month. I like when things balance out really well and I think the MSM Supreme is doing the trick. It’s a dietary supplement but I’ve been using it for pain management considering how bad my back has been these days. It’s working out really well for me so I’m not complaining, and I’m also not spending a butt-load of money on pain killers that my addictive personality would pounce on. Another one I’m taking is Lithium Orotate, it helps my frequent migraines but based on research it also helps those with depression and bi-polar disorders. Asprin wasn’t helping me anymore, not even Aleve and I was popping at least 6 of those a day just to concentrate.

Anyhoo, I’m about a half hour behind on some work that needs to be completed by midnight. I need to get my booty in gear on that.

The Daily Randomage

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

It’s starting to warm back up here in Rehoboth. For the past few days there’s been some pretty nice weather. Saturday only made it to the mid 70’s and there was such a nice breeze that having the windows open for the day was an absolute must. It was graciously welcomed after the humidity that couldn’t even be cut with a knife last week.

I managed to get Bella into the tub on Saturday afternoon. Karen was giving Candy a bath because she has a nasty skin infection and requires the medicated shampoo twice a week to help sooth her skin. Bella, being convinced that Candy is her mother (they do kind of look alike even though they aren’t the same breed), decided that she was going to do everything she could to hop up onto the counter and get in the sink with her. Being as she’s so small, that just didn’t happen but since she made it a point to try so hard to get in there, once Karen took Candy out I wound up throwing Bella right in. So now she’s fresh and clean and thankfully I was able to accomplish that on a day that wasn’t so humid because I hate having to give her a bath on such a nasty day.

Tonight Karen has a date with someone she met last weekend, hopefully that works out well for her. They’re going up to Adriatico (sp?) which I hear is a pretty nice Italian restaurant. Sean and I are going to take our own Italian route and more than likely order a pizza so we can just relax and watch a movie tonight. I’m in no mood to do any cooking but I know that I have to throw some meatballs in the crock pot sooner or later to get the dogs taken care of.

Karen and I both get a lot of flack for feeding our dogs home-cooked food but there’s a matter of safety involved that most people don’t understand. On top of small-breed dogs being very picky eaters – with all of the recalls on pet food and human food in general it’s good to know that what I’m feeding my dog can’t potentially cause her any harm. So if I have to spend extra money on chicken and beef in order to get her to eat without having to worry about kidney failure then naturally that’s the route I’m going to have to take.

I look at it this way – how much money was spent on vet bills based on the recalls this past year? I didn’t have to shell out a dime because my dog never touched any of that food. Trust me, I’m not saying that feeding your dog REAL dog food is wrong. Some people are lucky enough to have dogs that aren’t such finicky eaters. This doesn’t work for me though, Bella won’t touch anything that’s come out of a can unless it’s canned chicken which runs for about $2 each. $0.70 dog food is great, but she doesn’t see it that way. Spending the extra money to insure that she doesn’t die of starvation (or stubbornness in her case) is the only route I can really take.

In other news, PayPerPost is back to running their $1K Tuesday. I saw the opportunity as soon as it was posted but thanks to their new capatcha system and my inability to quickly read morphed text, someone managed to get it before me. Highly unfair but congradulations to them! Their name hasn’t shown up on today’s Top Earners yet though, it was listed as a $50 post. Even if I didn’t get the $1k I’d take the $50…heh.

In any event, my lunch break is officially over. Time to get back to work!

What’s going on?

Monday, August 13th, 2007

I’m up even earlier today than I was yesterday. For some reason I crashed around 8pm last night and woke up about 4:30-5:00 this morning. It’s now about 6:30 and I’ve already accomplished all of my morning routine. I’m now getting back to work on everything I couldn’t complete yesterday.

There’s one major template to be formatted and another one that I’m still having trouble creating. I don’t know what’s bringing on this normal schedule and a lack of creativity but it’s starting to wear me out.

My eyes still haven’t adjusted though, not quite sure why either. I’ve been up more than long enough for them to work for me but even they are working against me at the moment. Not enough time, a lack of creativity, malicious cramping due to my second period this month and eyes that suck – this is going to be a great day, I can tell already.

It’s a little too early.

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

My schedule has completely changed and I’m still making an attempt at getting used to it. For the last two days I’ve been up between 7:30 and 8am It’s a lot quieter in the morning than I remember but it’s also a weekend when no one is waking up early in the morning to get themselves to work.

My only company at the moment is Princess, she likes to wonder out of the room around 7am or so, so I’ve got her setup next to me. I picked up all of Bella’s things off the floor so she couldn’t eat them, typically that’s the reason we keep a gate in front of the door when it’s open. Princess has this thing where she’ll eat any and everything, food or no food so picking up the kibble and a few bones – not a big deal.

I have a big day of work to get done today, I don’t have much going on other than that. I hit the $1800 for the month and it’s only the 12th so it’s safe to say I’ll reach my $3k goal and even exceed it at this point. That shiny new iMac and the nifty new bed will really come in handy.

Lounging around…

Friday, August 10th, 2007

It’s Friday night and while most people are heading out, I’m doing everything I can to just stay in. Sean is already asleep but he has to be up at like 3:30am or something like that. There’s some server things going on with his job that he needs to be awake for. I think it’s converting thumbnails or something like that, I don’t know. He told me but again – I’ve been out of it so it hasn’t really stuck for me. I think he found a way to get Image Magik to work with converting .GIF thumbnails without making them a static/still image. So I assume he has to take care of the rest of the thumbnails his boss has uploaded. Who knows.

I plan on getting to bed soon but for now I’m just kind of surfing around the web. I came across a site that gives you the ability to receive either an SMS or email alert about freebies being given away in your area. I thought it was pretty interesting. They’re called FreeAlert and it’s not just US based, it’s supposedly worldwide. I don’t have text messaging for my phone, I find it to be a completely useless feature. It’s cheaper to have a two minute conversation than it is to send the 20+IM’s to get your thoughts out – you know? I considered signing up for the email portion of it but have to look into it a little bit further.

The site itself is charity based, the items you receive can be redistributed to the disabled, orphans, widows, refugees or other needy people in your community. Around here there aren’t many needy people so I doubt I could be of much help to anyone but I’m sure those living in larger cities can find some kind of value through FreeAlert, who knows.

Home Woe’s

Friday, August 10th, 2007

The strange thing about being on a regular schedule is I’m not really used to all of the daily noises around me. The chirping birds are screwing with my concentration, the TV is blaring in the background with what I consider to be the stupidest show on television and Bella is even more insistent about being right under my legs than normal.

Princess doesn’t seem to be acting right, she’s limping a bit more than usual and is kind of hanging out under the dining room table instead of sleeping in her own bed. I’m sure she’s upset over the fact that she’s no longer allowed on the couch but I don’t think that has anything to do with her limping either.

It’s been a pretty fruitful day, I’m working on the $150 mark with paid-posting so that’s covered. A few clients paid me as well so it’s nice to see a few hundred sitting in Paypal at the moment. Thankfully it’s mine to spend because all other bills have already been budgeted out. I’m just going to shoot it into savings though, we really do need to buy a new bed sometime in the next month (at the absolute latest) my back has come close to going out on me completely and I’m sure sleeping on three inches of foam that’s directly on the floor isn’t helping me very much either.

Sean and I are currently looking around Remax and Centry21 for a house. I don’t know how it happened but we’ve kind of settled on Ohio. I’m not too keen on being that far away from New York but he assured me that I’d probably like it there. His brother lives in the North Lima area, so I think we’re looking around there. I found a huge 4 bedroom 4050sqft for like $55,000 which is also on 3 acres of land, something seems fishy about it but figure if I’m looking to get a loan in the $175,000 range – I’m sure we could knock down the old house and just build another one on the property.

We’ve been looking into manufactured homes and I found one that looks fairly traditional but I also know that there’s a solid company backing it. We’re looking into Palm Harbor, and I found a model named Katherine. It’s 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and about 2,368sqft. I know that’s a lot smaller than the house that’s on the property but you’re factoring in that only two people and a 15 pound dog are going to live there and I’d prefer to live in something where all of the pipes are new and in the future when adding an addition to the house, there’s the ability to cut into a wall without worrying about the entire foundation coming down on that side – you know? The house that’s on the property now is about 120 years old, you can’t really upgrade that style of a home without running into some problems. I figure knocking it down and starting fresh would be more than fair.

Back on track.

Friday, August 10th, 2007

After crashing for much longer than I ever thought possible, I think I’m back on a fairly decent schedule. Last night I woke up about 2am after sleeping for around 14 hours or so, not sure why that happened. I figured I’d fight it and just go back to sleep and after about 5am I finally did knock out again and then woke up at 9am. Which hopefully means that by midnight I’ll be tired again and back on track.

I’m so sick of waking up at 6pm, it’s unreal. I wind up going to sleep when most people are leaving the house for work in the morning and that’s just to the point of being unhealthy. And there’s also no food in the house either, so by the time I shower and get ready to leave half the places down here are closed at 8pm – which I think is BS considering it’s a resort time and smack-dab in the middle of the summer season.

I have a shit load of work to do today though, that’s another reason why I’m happy to be up with the sun instead of down when it’s setting. I figure if I can get my ass in gear and get my concentration back to where it used to be I can knock out 3 accounts today, lets just hope that actually works out that way – heh.

The Local’s Suck!

Thursday, August 9th, 2007

Sean and I went up to Midway last night. We’ve been itching to get to a casino ever since we left Atlantic City back in April. We probably should have just taken the free rooms available up in Harrah’s and completely avoided this place. I don’t know what it is about local casinos but they all seem to really suck. I know that Alantic City has a decent pay out considering how much money I’ve made there. I refuse to go to ones on Indian reservations because you never win anything there, I don’t care who you are – the pay out in a place like Mohegan Sun up in Connecticut is not going to be anywhere near what a typical payout is in Atlantic City. On average you hear machines going off with $3,000+ coming your way, this is the place to be.

With how messed up our schedule is at the moment, we didn’t leave the house until about 2am but note that we’d been up for about 8 hours at that point. After a 45 minute drive we arrived to find a really empty parking lot and what looked to be a little shack in the middle of no where. It’s only really lit up on the one side so you don’t see much going on behind it. It was no where near as large as the casinos I’m used to going to. The commercials tell me that you win more frequently and to a point this is true, I managed to make $20 last for a very long time. I just don’t consider breaking even to be a reasonable pay out – you know?

I’ve been rummaging around the house trying to locate my total rewards card so I can log into my Harrah’s account and find out what I have available. I think we’re going to take a trip up there after his birthday and sometime before mine so that we can have some kind of a vacation. I know he has four days free, I’m sure I have the same. A week with a free room? I’ll take it.

Ouch, Ouch, Ouch!

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

Okay, so the Wii showed up yesterday – a few days earlier than originally anticipated. After it was booted up and proved to be working properly we then started playing the mini WiiSports games that came with it. Five hours of bowling, baseball and boxing later – we decided to head over to EBGames and pick up the WiiPlay game pack. It comes with like 10 mini-games for $50 but there was also an extra controller in the box as well. The Wii only comes with one standard controller by default.

On our way home we stopped off at Blockbuster because Sean had a Free Game Rental that he’d printed out before we left. And something I kept seeing all over EGM was Rayman Raving Rabbids and knowing full well that anyone else I’ve spoken to knew nothing about it, even though they seem to be DS game collectors, I picked it up instead of MarioKart 8. Knowing that he’s got another one coming in on Monday, we can always pick up MarioKart later.

Rayman is a series of mini-games that all have to be unlocked as you go along, which is typically like any Nintendo based game when you think about it. Then again, I’m basing this on Brain Age, Super Mario Brothers and Sonic Rush. But even the mini-games that came with WiiPlay had to be unlocked as well.¬† You start off with like four or five of the games, a few of which confused the hell out of us until we read further into them. Ammo for the entire game isn’t a gun, it’s plungers. And based on the amount of plungers one goes through in a single game, you wonder if this were real life, how many Home Depots would have to be called in to sponsor? heh.

The first one you land on is dance related. Knowing full well that my back was starting to crap out on me thanks to 9 straight rounds of boxing earlier, I decided to sit this one out. The key of the game is as the rabbits touch the little bases you have to shoot them off with either the Wiimote or the Nunchuk. You’re basically dancing along to the music and after a little while it just got boring so we left that stage and wound up in one named “How far can Bessie fly” or something like that. There’s a cow on a leash that you have to fling around and then throw her as far as you possibly can. You’re supposed to hit like 60 but Sean tried his hardest and couldn’t even get out of the ring. I managed to do it (fucking up my rotater cup in the process) but she flew about 200 something. I guess this would be great information to know about myself if I ever actually wanted to chuck a cow 200 yards?

The game itself is a little strange and quite morbid to some degree but at least you aren’t shooting guns, you’re just shooting off plungers. To me it kind of seems like those NERF suction arrows that kids still play with. Unless you have the stamina to go crazy with a tiny little controller, I’m not sure I’d recommend the game. There are sections of the game that are completely stupid and worth the laugh and play time. It’s just hard when you’re so used to single controllers to get around to using two of them.

I love my DS, for the most part it reminds me of my original Nintendo controller way back in the day. I like simple controllers which is why I have so much trouble with the XBox360 controllers. Sean tried to teach me how to play Halo, there’s too many extra buttons that you have to control just to fire at someone so that’s truly just a waste for me in the long run.

Either way I enjoyed myself and knowing I don’t have any work to get done today I figure I’ll wait until my back unlocks and then maybe play some duck hunt or something for a while. I’m in a lot of pain today because of all the moving around yesterday. It’s not that I’m not used to the activity so take that theory and shove it up your ass. It’s the fact that I’m not typically twisting my arms around as fast as humanly possible just to throw a cow and I sure as hell don’t bowl for 6 hours at a time either. Hopefully my arms will get used to it though.

I just signed up for a Nintendo.com account so I can get my games and consoles registered. Supposedly when you register a game it unlocks something but I think that would only work out on the Wii, so I’m going to punch my numbers in and see what happens.

Off to get something to eat, I’ve been hungry since I went to bed but figured I’d just eat after I woke up.

Spoiled, Spoiled, SPOILED!

Dog food can be a completely evil thing. Many dogs, particularly smaller ones, have allergies so the owner is naturally going to look for the food that doesn’t contain any of these allergens. Typically this is more expensive food but I’ll agree that if you love your animal as much as you claim you do, you’ll feed them something that won’t make them sick in excess.

So lately Bella has been very picky about what she eats, or even IF she eats for that matter. Putting chicken down at 10am means nothing to her, she insists on eating about 3AM the following morning after you’ve coaxed her into numerous different plates, she’ll return back to that $2.00 can of CHICKEN, not dog food – I said Chicken.

Candy, Karen’s dog, has been on a high protein diet throughout her entire life. She maybe had dog food twice when she was a baby but since then it’s been home-cooked meals and to a degree, mixed with pure luck, after 16 years she’s still alive. A little senile – yes – but she’s still alive. I do believe this is based on the dog food. Knowing full well that I intend to have Bella for as long as possible I’ve also steered away from dog food but this is only after I’d tried every single available brand that she turned her nose up to.

For some reason, not sure if it’s the weather or just stubborn animals, Candy and Bella have both decided that they no longer want $2 canned chicken. They want home made meatballs. And not just any meatballs, MY meatballs. This means we’re now spending money on 5lbs of meat (per week) and all of the fixings for me to make the family sauce, nope – they don’t like bottled sauce either.

It’s now 3am and I’ve been up for over 16 hours and I’m exhausted, this – however – doesn’t mean anything when it comes to making sure all animals are covered for dinner tonight. I turned 5lbs of chop meat into about 8 pounds of meatballs (once you throw in all the fixings, of course). They’re now in the oven cooking off some of the fat before I throw them into the crock pot where they’ll sit for 10 hours and all dogs will be fed.

This morning, however, I’ll have to then begin making dinner for the humans and I volunteered to make a big turkey dinner. I’m stupid, I know – but my love for Thanksgiving side dishes can really get the best of me. Hrm…I just remembered there’s a few things I forgot to get for dinner. Damn! Guess I’ll have to send Sean out.

Been a few days…

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

With the amount of time I’ve spent online for the last few days I wanted to at least get around to posting something here instead of dealing with things every where else. I’m catching up on email, I completed a few things for other domains and clients and now I’m waiting patiently for Sean to get out of the shower so we can head out for the evening.

August 2007 Someone asked me about the color scheme for August, I figured I’d paste it up to share. Note that once the template is replaced for September’s, it’ll be setup under my the free wordpress templates, naturally there’s going to be a few alterations but I’m sure it’ll work out just fine as a free template anyway. Who doesn’t love Gray and Pink?

PS: Still working on returning comments, I have three domains worth to get through!
