Man today was an absolute blast! I went to this thing they do every year in Vegas called Pet-a-palooza hosted by one of the local radio stations to benefit the local animal rescues and I got to see Andy Grammer, Fefe Dobson, and Train all for $8! It was my first time seeing Train too! I've loved their music since 2001 when Drops of Jupiter came out and haven't had the chance to see them until today. I missed out on David Cook though because I left for a bit to pick up my new glasses. I managed to get some awesome pictures and video but lost the cable for my camera. Guess it's time to buy a memory card reader. haha. Hope everyone had a great day!
 
Soooo...

I like animals. In fact, I'm quite fond of em. I've always had an animal or two (sometimes four) in my household since I was born. We've had dogs, cats, birds, lizards, hamsters, etc., but I am not an animal hoarder.

When I first divorced I gained possession of 3 out of the 4 animals we owned. I got both cats and a dog. I swore once one of them kicked off I was going to keep it at two. About a year later, one of the cats died and so I resisted the temptation to "replace" the cat. For some reason, for me, two is plenty and three is a crowd. I still feel that way.

However, I have a bit of a complicated living situation. If you ask me who I live with I will tell you myself and my son, but I have a friend who tends to flop here because she is very young and just setting out in the world and is on her own. So, I make sure she has a roof over her head and food in her belly when she needs it. She's trying to pay off some debts so she can afford her own place and she doesn't take advantage. Then, there's the pre-teen. Her mother came to me for assistance with her addiction, but when the reality of facing how difficult it is to beat addiction, the mom decided not to try. So, there's this young girl with no guidance and no mother or father. Mom is chasing pills and dad is in TN, drinking, and living with his mother.

Anyway, loser mom got herself evicted from the condo she was renting in my neighborhood leaving she and pre-teen homeless. I took in the kid (not mom tho) and told mom to figure it out, but the child was safe. Well, the child asked to bring her Boston Terrier. Sweetest dog ever and I just couldn't tear a kid away from her pet, not after the life she's had to lead. She's had to make far too many sacrifices at such a young age. She asked that when she moved back with her mom, if she couldn't take the dog, would I keep the dog. How could I say no?

I couldn't. So now we're dealing with vet visits, vet bills since the damn dog isn't spayed or has shots, and now back to 3 animals running around the house. I was quite content with two and do hope this is temporary, but I guess I need to prepare myself in case it isn't. I'm trying not to get too attached to this animal. Don't think that's possible considering I just bought her a new bed, new bling, and some stylish toys...

:confused3
 
That's a great deal.

Yeah, you can sometimes get rentals like that when the owners miss their banking deadline and have to use up the points and can't make it out here. Getting something is better than nothing for the owners I guess.
 

Hi everyone...I am a friend of Darcy's...jumped in before to say hi to her (met her and a bunch of others...yes I mean you Floydian...through the single/adults threads a few years back). However it's Friday...I am super happy this week is over...and I have beer.

Hey Amy! Let me guess, you have some Nimbus?


I will be in Cali in June. . .Brandon graduates on June 9. My son is a HS graduate?. . .that is just freaky to me. He will probably go into the Navy sometime in September, but they need some kind of wierd disclaimer about his Penicillin allergy.

I know how you feel, my son graduates this June also. Looks like he is going to school upstate.


Ohhh, the Navy :) I tend to recommend the Air Force ahead of the Navy, simply because they take better care of their people in the AF. That said, I think the Navy is great too, in most cases, especially since the servicemember usually gets to travel and see lots of interesting places (not so sure about the Army for that, although I do know Marines frequently get to go play on the amphib ships).
;)

Having been in that branch I would have to agree, I had some good times and saw a lot. But Navy is cool also. What will he be going in for?

LOL. Thanks, but I didn't end up going to the beach. I decided to get caught up around here cause I have a busy day tomorrow and another Iron infusion on Monday.

Not a beach day here today but did ride down to beach.

Hope everyone had a good weekend, mine was pretty busy. Friday left work early, grabbed my bike and hopped on the train. Went to the closest stop to Citi field and visited my sister who always is part of a huge opening day tailgate party. Then went back to the train and into the city, saw the Tarantino/Coen Brothers art show, then on Offsides' advice rode uptown for a cookie from Levian. Then back downtown for a burger and then caught the end of the game at a bar waiting for the train. Yesterday was a beer fest and after a bike ride to the beach today did a lot of yard work. Back to work tomorrow.....
 
Wow. Not much action this weekend. Besides our new 4 legged addition spoken about in a previous post, the only other thing I did this weekend was take the drive to Captiva Island.

Have been more of a lurker lately than a poster. However it's Friday...I am super happy this week is over...and I have beer. So happy Friday :).

Hi Amy! Hope you had a good weekend! :goodvibes

And hope everyone else did too!

Brandon wants EOD. An odd choice coming from my son (those who know him understand this). But its what he wants.

Sounds like you had a busy weekend. I had church, choir practice, Leadership meeting, etc. . .very busy sunday. . .

:welcome: to the singles thread! My next trip is planned for June...and that is plenty long to wait. ;)

My weekend was good. I'm a little sunburned from walking around a festival today. I actually saw a blinged out shirt that said "It's five o'clock somewhere." It would make a great group shirt, but I'm not sure the guys would be crazy about the crystal bling. :rotfl:

You're funny...and uh...you're also right LOL.

Hi Amy! Hope you had a good weekend! :goodvibes

And hope everyone else did too!

Thanks! Took the munchkin out yesterday, went bowling than to a a great burger joint out here called Zinburger. I had never eaten there before. Oh my god...so good!!
 
Happy Monday DISpeeps. Hope you all had truly fun and blessed weekends. You will all be happy to note that I am in a much better place emotionally. It was a good weekend and some great friends helped.

Today is beautiful, sunny and actually humid to some extent (I know you will all think I am wierd but I love the humidity. . .makes my skin feel good). I am headed to the gym and then off to the MD for Iron infusion #3 of 5. Then to Texas de Brazil for an Industry dinner with my work pals.

Hope everyone has a great day.
 
I can't believe its Monday already!!! The weekends go by so fast! Had a great weekend suppose to be in the 70s today!!!!


Have a great day everyone:cool1:
 
Afternoon all---
so I know this may be a little deep for a Monday but it's in my head and I'd like to hear your thoughts on this...
I'm a regional manager for a major company, there are 10 of me that work for my boss in the safety department throughout the country. I am the only female that works for my boss (there's a reason I state that) and I love my department and love what I do. the down side is that I'm on call 24/7 except when I'm on vacation and even then I get calls (I've been in the middle of MK taking calls from my guys...). out of the 10 of us, I'm the most high strung, take things to heart when one of my guys gets injured or something happens onsite. anyway, recently I question why we all do what we do...I know that we are not in it for the accolades, the pat on the backs or even the thank yous. but there's something (other than a pay check) that keeps us doing what we do.
so I ask the question to you, in your professions, why do you do it...
