Lin: yikes! There's more calories in that one piece of cake than I usually eat in a day or two!!
I had awful pizza for lunch at Lyzzie's school... but it was worth it to see the kids.
I am so out of the loop, I hadn't heard the Alec Baldwin thing but I'll have to look it up. And here I always thought he was a pretty decent guy.
I'm doing my all-time favorite part of my job today... stuffing envelopes! (Can you hear the sarcasm there?)
The weather has finally decided to get nice, it's supposed to be 80 tomorrow afternoon! Watch out Worlds of Fun, here we come! I just bought our season passes online, ouch there's another chunk out of my bank account.
Linda: That story is so incredibly sad. I really think there should be mandatory parenting classes, and if you fail, you get sterilized. A little 1984ish, but there you go.
My mom is most likely getting a dog today. She went to the pet rescue store again, it's the same place where she got her gawdawful rat terrier - and returned her. I guess they gave her a hard time about bringing the dog back, even after she explained that it bit the baby (Emma). They said, "Well did it draw blood?" She said, "No, but she BIT THE BABY, what was I supposed to do, get rid of the BABY?!?" They then went on to explain that most bites are the owner's fault, not the dog's, and that if she wants to adopt from them again she will have to attend classes because she is an irresponsible pet owner. I can't believe she's going back there! She found a corgi/terrier mix puppy there and wants it, and went back there with my dad to look at it again after lunch. I can't wait to see how this turns out. I keep telling her NO TERRIERS because their personality is everything my parents don't want in a dog, but they just don't get it. She says, "But it's cute, and it's the right size!" I try to explain that it's behavioral traits that make terriers not right for them, but she won't listen. She just wants to get a dog, and will take the first one that comes along at the right price that will fit through their existing pet door. *sigh*
