Babnanas 9: Something snappy.....Like BACON!!

[SadieDog]

DD and I saw Madagascar a couple of weeks ago and saw Ice
Age today. Ice Age was really funny. We liked Madagascar but loved Ice Age.

Hmmm I might have to see these one day.

I scored a job interview for Wednesday morning. For the attendance clerk position at the high school where I have worked in the past. It's 195 days/year, so only 15 more than I usually work.

Please send pixie dust that I don't blow the interview. I really need this job!

Good luck.

Good luck! Maybe you can borrow Boone from SadieDog so he can steal all the other applications and you end up the only one applying for the job. If you don't get it, Kimmar can snort coffee at them from her nose.

My two dogs are just like that.... when they are outside running the yard.. the older one is a wacko, ,and the little dog is so sweet and brings you a ball or frisbee to throw... but when they are in the house.. it's the opposite.. the little dog becomes possessed by satan and the wacko dog is soooo tired from running around so hard that all she wants to do is sleep.. but little satan dog wont let her...

We took the older dog to the vet this week cuz she looks like skin and bones... (like one of the starving dogs they show on the info-mercials.... ) the reason is... she runs.... and runs and runs and runs,..... ALL DAY!! i will call her to come and eat.. but she ignores me because she has her own agenda... (trying to catch the birds in the trees)... HYPER is and understatement... In the mean time.. the little dog eats her food, so I try and feed her separately... if she comes to me.. the vet said try to give her more protein... She lost 5 pounds in three weeks... she should be about 45-50 lbs... full grown.. but she was only 38.... so she needs to gain it back... but how do you stop a dog from running ???

I'm still being distracted by Captain Jack.... Speaking of being distracted by hot men.... have any of you read the 50 shades of grey series?

oops... I gotta run...

Does she have a high protein food for active dogs? She needs an activity that requires focus. Of course she needs to run and expel energy, but focusing and using her brain will drain more energy from her than running alone.

I have not read 50 Shades. My friend read them and didn't think they were that great. I know many people who feel differently though.

That dog sounds crazy hyper! Kind of like a perpetual toddler.

I read the 50 Shades series. I hated it. The relationship was too abusive for me, not the S&M stuff, the actual relationship was just not healthy or sexy to me. Plus, I thought the writing was atrocious. The author needed a good book editor. I know lots of people love it, but I'll get my smut from another author.

Good idea! He'd have a field day with all the paper!

That would be a sight to see, since she's still stuck to that pole...

How will she breathe?

Worked for the Twilight series...

I thought those were horrible. And messed up.

I read a few of the Twilight books. My daughter read them all. We enjoy watching the movies together.

Yeah..... shes focused on trying to catch the birds in the trees... never will get them but shes trying to figure out how. She learned if she climbs up on the picnic table shes a little closer to them. But still cant reach. It wears her out trying though. The little dog just watches..
Like shes smart enough to know she wont catch them.

EXACTLY!
I hope she outgrows it... but puppies are...puppies..

Anyway.. i kinda agree im reading the 1st book now. Not loving it probably wont read the other ones. Ill see how it ends. Right now its predictable. I keep thinking to myself... really? Shes just dumb .

 

[LegoMom3]

Ugh.....dog stories. Mean Queen, I'm clinging to you in my mind as my fellow cat-person around here!!!

Last scorcher of a day around here today. Mid-90s. I'm ready for some low 80s. There's just not enough a/c in my life to make this 90s stuff bearable. Although I was reminding everyone at work yesterday that it's only a matter of time before we're making cups of hot tea, just to hold the mug so we can warm up our frozen fingers!! Yikes.... Ah, seasons. Gotta love 'em.

[PaMom001]

.....you'll do anything just to get in an air-conditioned room....

Not really. I've a/c at home. I was just bored.

I scored a job interview for Wednesday morning. For the attendance clerk position at the high school where I have worked in the past. It's 195 days/year, so only 15 more than I usually work.

Cat fur .. (good) crazy demon dogs.... (bad) Ok.. i see how it is around here..... and I thought we were sisters!


So I finished that darn book and hated the ending. (what was the point?? ) Oh.. wait.. I know.... so she could write another book and make people think it's going to be different than the 1st. Probably not going to waste my time with it.

Ok.. 2 kids down.. 2 to go.... DS is in Florida, and DD left for a swim meet today(i'll catch up with her on Thursday night).. tomorrow my other DD is going to the shore... that just leaves my little guy....wonder where he could go .... maybe just a little quality time .... he wants to see Ice Age... maybe I'll take him. Ice Age sounds good on a HOT day... ugh.. we're steamy like cooked lobsters here.

Though one of my cats is acting like a dog lately. She keeps going into the laundry and pulling out our dirty socks and underwear. It's hard enough to have a pair of socks match without her help.

And I don't love seasons so much. Which is a good thing since we don't have them down here. It'll be mid-90's for a few more months. But most places have more than enough a/c.

Very true. I read all the Twilight books also. I didn't mind the first but by the end of the second I was wishing the Volturi would kill Bella and the guys found a less self-centered wishy-washy girl. Though her childishness made more sense than the girl in 50 Shades, because Bella was still a child.

Our big male cat is suddenly fascinated by the ice maker in the freezer door. Every time someone puts a cup up there and dispenses ice, he comes running and then sits wide-eyed, staring up at the thing!! Once in a while I'll put a cube in the water bowl......boy is that fun, batting that around!

.

 

[LegoMom3]

Good morning.....

What a miserable night for sleeping we had....the dew-point is still 68 this morning!! Yuck. I didn't sleep well at all. This stuff is supposed to break today but I didn't realize not until later. Thanks, Mr. Local Weatherman....

But hey, maybe I can actually get a run in after work today! It's been too dang hot.

I've had a few cats that loved when a cube slipped from the ice maker. I'm not sure what is so fascinating about batting one around, but they sure do love it.

Had the job interview today. There ended up being two positions available. One will deal solely with attendance and the other will deal with the disciplinary issues that come into the Student Services office. I have a good feeling about this one as they asked me for references at the end of the interview!

From there I did a senior picture photo shoot for a good friend's niece. It was so dang hot that we did two outfits and called off the rest of the shoot until Saturday morning. She wants OUTSIDE pictures in her WOOL lettermans jacket... I recommended she packed herself on ice before we shoot because the weather isn't supposed to break yet.

During the shoot I got a text from a friend of mine (the one I vocally blame for my scrapbooking habit... ) and she asked if I was home. I told her I wasn't and she said to call when I had the chance.

I was riding a pretty good high from the morning because the interview went well and the shoot went well. I finally got the chance to call my friend while I took the kids to Subway for lunch. I figured she needed to complain about her ex-husband and that would be it.

Yeah... no...

She started sobbing into the phone that she got a call from her OB-GYN and the results of her most recent yearly showed an extremely high abnormal pre-cancerous cell count. I was completely lost for words. I told her that I'd call her back the second we were out of line.

It kills me because I want to go with her to her biopsy tomorrow but I can't get out of my last fair of the year. She told me it was okay, she didn't need me to go with her, but I wish I could be there for the test (I'm pretty sure her boyfriend will be there, but still).

I'm so bummed out. Talk about a bi-polar day! I decided to finish the day the only way I know how... so I cooked up some home-made vegetable beef soup.

 

[LegoMom3]

kwit -- BIG hugs for you, hon.... What a day you had. I pray all is well with your friend and that whatever is going on, they caught it in time to intervene. It's a wake-up call for me; I'm way overdue on all that stuff. We have insurance now to cover it but I owe money here there and everywhere and I'm subconsciously afraid to take on another medical thing. Ugh. I am not at a stage of my life where I should be neglecting those things!!



Weather here has finally cooled down!!! It was in the 50s last night....I went from a night of being so hot and sticky I could barely sleep, to actually being chilly enough to grab the blanket and pull it over me! I think I might finally be able to get out and run this evening. Way overdue on that, too.

....and THAT'S why I'll only do that once a night - kids, remember to tip your waitress.....
