Sheepdog puppies? Am I not seeing one chewing on the face of an innocent sheepie trying to hide under the sofa?

Dinner: DS and I made beef/blue cheese salad.

Then I ate 2 cups of ice cream (might as well finish it) and an orange soda and a bunch of potato chips. Didn't finish those. The bag is as big as a bed pillow.

Breakfast: icky oatmeal

Snack: Tuna and crackers

At least I am proving that I over eat at night. Anyone see Peanuts yesterday.l It was me Snoopy was being. He wanted a pre-breakfast snack, breakfast, snack. lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, TV snack, bedtime snack, and midnight snack. I might have missed one. Not in real life . but in the list.

Naw, he's loving the sheepie. Or maybe not. Well, they've got to start somewhere...

I'm relieved to know that you didn't miss a snack. Neither have I.

I have 2 Cairn Terriers.. Darby and Casey.. I don't have kids so these are my babies! They don't piddle.. totally house broken.. They know Sit, Wait(Stay) let's go, Come, High 5, lay down, sit, sit up, Bear Dance, roll over, heel, easy, Drop it, and speak. Yes I'm a proud mama! They don't shed, but we just gave them their summer cuts, so they are way less hairy now then in the pic.
Darby is the one on the right.she is big for a Cairn. Timid,loves to lick fabric?noises make her skittish, she loves to swim. Casey is small for a cairn, but a ballsy broad.. I wanted to name her Belle, so I could play with the name, like Dumbbell, liberty bell for July 4th, bonnie bell when I felt Scottish... but when we got her she was more like a Bertha! She's not afraid of anything, we call her Missy Lick-a-lot, since she mobs me all the time.. I don't think I'd get any other kind of dog..

I had a WW english muffin with ICBINB and sugar free jelly for breakfast..and we are having London Broil on the Barbie tonight.

I would have loved to be in the canoe race.. I have a dragon head "noodle" that I modified and duct taped to the front of it when we do the all girl overnight canoe on the Delaware River..

Cowsie - cute story!...

I want a whoopie pie.

I'm eating my way through the leftover bunco food. Yesterday's food list is too long to type.

Schatzi, bunco is a dice game that you play with 11 other friends. We get together once a month. It's mostly about eating and drinking and talking and laughing a lot. We were short one player so we were playing w/ a "dummy". About halfway through the evening one of DS's friends stopped by looking for DS and he took over for the dummy. We promised not to tell any of his macho 22 yr old male buddies that he was hanging out with middle aged women playing dice.

The baby shower was for my Aunt Dolly's grandchild. Aunt Dolly is adorable. She wears leopard print eye glasses. She always has a cigarette in her hand. She wore plaid stretch pants and a tank top w/ white mocassins. A very tight perm. Gravelly voice. She calls everybody "Hon". She's what you would call a character. The baby was adorable. Of course. He didn't wear leopard print eyeglasses.

I spent lots of money for kids senior portraits and neither of them finished senior year. Still well worth the money. I guess we could call them GED portraits, huh?

DH did not have fun deep sea fishing yesterday. He was sick the entire time. He knows that he gets seasick, yet every year or so he tries it again. He's a slow learner, I guess.

Sugar, we've quit eating chinese food even though we love it because of the msg. Not worth the misery afterwards.

Kiwi, I think I see your name on one of those puppies.

PS Hi Schatzi! We must have posted at the same time. Your doggies are adorable.

How do I make my picture small enough to attach? Cowper wants to see the guard kitty.

The puppies are all darling. I won't insult them or my kitty (who we CALL Puppy, by posting her photo.).
I think I'm going to go have some tapioca and then go to sleep. With a sleeping pill. If I were going to stay up all night, I should at least get something useful done.....

Too bad I don't have the hamster gene where I could just pedal and pedal and pedal on the stationery bike. Now THAT would be useful.

Funny, that's what I thought!

Aunt Dolly sounds like a real trip.

Wabbit, you can send me your photo and I'll resize it and send it back to you if you want. It has to be no larger than 400 x 400 pixels and under 40K I think, if you have a graphics program that will resize it and compress it.

Your dogs look very cute, Schatzi. For some reason I couldn't get the photo to enlarge.

I'm pooped. Too much partying.

Yeech, it's a foggy day here... fits my head... moving like a herd of turtles this morning... We are basically camping at this house.. Everything is boxed or moved already...including the cawfee maker (WHAT WAS I THINKING!) ..I've been reduced to drinking instant Taster's Choice, with powdered milk. And its DECAFFINATED ! GASP!

Wabby: Aunt Dolly sounds like a goil aftah my own heart... She must be a riot! I have this visual of the old Sonny and Cher show, where Cher dressed up as the old hot lady, with her tiger glasses and lycra pants..
11 FRIENDS! My you are POOP-U-Lar! I love to play games, board games ,card games ..If I was closer I woulda filled in fer ya.

Painty- You need your rest dear, what the hoodle doo are you doing up soo late..or are you normally a night owl?

Kiwi - I use a thumbnail program..I have no idea how to resize or compress or any of that computer wizardry. I hope you do get one of those puppies..2 cute.

Sug must be concentrating on learning Spanish...

Breakfast: Toast with Laura Scudders peanut butter. yuck.

Lunch: Leftover beef/blue cheese salad.

This is NOT helping yet. Maybe it'll kick in. I'm just depressed. I want to see all the kitties .. even Painty's. Why would that be offensive, Painty? Kitties is good.

Breakfast: Canteloupe chunks
Lunch: TBA

Schatzi, Aunt Dolly was the prototype for Cher. She really is a Dolly. DECAF??? Instant? Arrrrghhhh! No wonder you're feeling foggy. Are you excited or sad about this move? How long have you been in Joisy? We are such rooted ppl. We've only lived in one other house in our 27 years of marriage, and that was only about 2 miles from this house.

Cowper, Kiwi is working on the picture of the very skinny guard kitty. I think I may have found it a home. One of the guys here at work is thinking of taking him. I've offered to have him wormed and vacinated if he takes kitty. Even guard kitties deserve a real home.

DS's file is being submitted to underwriting for final loan approval today for his new house. Keep your fingers crossed.

Wabby Dahlink~This will be my 9th move! And not due to work or anything other than I was out on my own since 17..However, this is the biggest move.. Older, with More Crap and bigger place that got filled with crap..and my first out of NJ...Jersey Born Bred till Dead, or so I thought! My DH (Ken) has wanted to move for the last 20 years..He hates Joisey.. and I finally have acquiesed (KIWI spell check!) I don't have any family to speak of left in NJ, and had "broken up" with my BFF..She was my bestest for over 20 years.. and with that I lost her sister and daughter as other "close" friends... but there comes a point when you just can't take any more drama and BS.. so, while i do still have some friends here, it's not the same...And, I left a high pressure job in DA Bronx in January..and Ken just finished up a 1099 job (He's a Cisco Certified Engineer..routers ,switches, IP telephony etc)..so the timing was right, the housing market was right, and most importantly I feel its the right time for me to start the next chapter in our lives... So that's the story!
Todays menu
B: 2 WW english muffins with Butter and SF Jelly
D: Cube Steak and cauliflower
Water and Diet Lipton Ice tea
NS fudgsicle for dessert

Lunch: 1 chicken/apple sausage
pasta salad
1 slice left over (from bunco) lemonade cake

DH is really wanting to lose some weight, so maybe if I cook better for him, I'll do better. Now that DS is moving out, we won't have any excuses for having a thing in the house that we shouldn't be eating.

How come when I have computer problems, everyone posts? My puter overheated and blew a gasket. We made it lie down in a darkened room with a cold compress for a few hours and it's feeling much better now. Heaven knows I am sympathetic; I can barely move in this heat. It's been 90 degrees and the sun feels like a blast furnace the past 2 days. Fortunately it's cooling down in the evening.

Drove to the big city today to drop off sailing buddy Y who's going back to work in Florida for 2 days and will then be back for more merriment on the weekend. Then I went shopping. What else is there to do in the big city? Bought an assortment of wedding gifts for the nephew and his b-t-b. Wasn't all that excited with the stuff they had registered for at Target but got them a lamp and end table from their list and threw in a set of champagne flutes for good measure (fortunately they were well packed ). Got out of there for under $100, which was fine by me. Then I blew the bank account at Sam's Club. Yeehaw. Funny thing, I can't abide Mal-Wart, but Sam's Club? Lemme at 'em. So it was a big-ol' All American discount shopping consumerism day and I'm tahred.

By the way, Schatzi, are you familiar with the whole tar-heel thing?

Cowpeach, who is Laura Scudder and why did she make you eat her peanut butter for breakfast? I actually caved in and bought The South Beach Diet today. I made myself feel less fat and middle-aged by buying Freakonomics at the same time.

Actually, that explains why I couldn't enlarge your peecture -- that was the size you posted! (duh..)

Instant Taster's Choice Decaf. That sounds looooooovely. I used to know a guy who was happy with instant coffe made with hot tap water. Not someone I could relate to.

Breakfast: Coffee, then more coffee
Lunch: Arby's Barf N Cheddar, with potato cakes, and water, lots of water
Dinner: Giant pork chop from Sams Club, marinated, sauteed in olive oil and garlic and baked in a bit of sherry; spaghetti (butter, romano); and zucchini, onions and garlic sauteed in olive oil. It was a hella good dinner, but it's not going to make the diet food list.
DH made me eat half a bag of microwave popcorn. Yeah, made me.

Must remove contacts before they fog over entirely.

DD is out camping with her friends tonight. 3 girls, 5 boys. I don't know, she claims there will be a girls' tent and "the boys will be somewhere else". The guys who are going are total straight arrows anyway; I stopped worrying when I found out who was going to be there. But this is a first. I just hope they don't annoy the other people in the campground...

Kiwi

Que frio!

No habla muy bien espanol!

Una cafe con leche por favor!

Muchas gracias!

Hasta luego!

(More later. I have the whole house to myself today. And cramps. Yay. AND my ticker is lying terribly)

No speakum dat. What'd you do with your family, send them off to Spanish camp? Sell them to the gypsies?

When I got up this morning (very late), I found DD sleeping in her bed. That seemed odd, so I woke her up and asked her what she was doing home. She said they stayed up all night and when 6:30 am came around they decided to go home. At least they didn't get kicked out or anything... Kids.

It's hot again, I'm not impressed. Gotta go take a shower and sluice the sweat off. (Hope you weren't eating lunch when you read that)
