Hi cowies! I noticed that we started posting our meals and then stopped. Fun.
School starts in a week. I'm still fat. No iPod for me in August! Oh, and I'm doing a presentation in October in front of a bunch of strangers and I'm FAT! But, I'm alive, and that is plus.
HeeHee Mad Cow Disease. Why didn't I think of that? I've certainly had it often enough.
Thank you for your contributions to Feeling Sorry For Me Day. It was a great success. I have not given up on the puppy. DD and I will make an appointment to go see it soon. No guarantee I can get it even if I decide to, but nothing ventured, nothing gained, eh? The problem here is that DH claims he has a problem with having another big dog, and would rather that I got a different breed, but when I ask him what's wrong with a big dog, one of the first things he says is that it's another 15 year commitment. So it's obvious to me, if not to him, that he doesn't want another dog at all (in fact, he is so phobic about taking on even minor responsibilities that when his friend visiting from Ore. offered to lend him his motorboat for the rest of the summer, he flat turned it down until DD and I shamed him into taking it! He'd rather shell out hundreds of dollars for a used boat than be responsible for something). And although I don't dislike small dogs--I think many of them are lovely and fun--they will not fit the bill for me. I need a commitment to getting out and exercising -- a lot! And I like a great big furry dog for many reasons--the intimidation factor not being the least of it. I think he and I are going to have to do some serious compromising, or we're in big trouble. I'm expecting that my part of it will be swamping out the house so we have more room, so I guess I'd better get started on that!
Have a lovely day, madcows, hope you are enjoying the last remnants of summer. We still have 2 weeks here until school starts, but time is ticking down. What am I going to do when I no longer have the school starting thing to end my summer with? Endless summer?
Kiwi
P.S. Picked a couple more cups of blueberries yesterday, and they're still coming! mmmmm
this is what I think about that, Kiwi - You should discuss w/ DH how much you want your big dog. How important it is for you, and how many compromises you make every day for the DH. Then go buy your puppy. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
Even though we didn't know a single soul at the wedding except the bride and groom (our neighbors) we had a blast. It was a beautiful wedding in a beautiful setting. They had wonderful food and a great big band to entertain. We met some fun ppl and I only got my toes stepped on by DH once. We've decided we want to take swing dance classes. Do you think we really will? We'd had a couple glasses of champagne when we were talking about it. We stayed at a hotel so we didn't have to worry about driving. They had a limo shuttle us between there and the wedding.
Peaches, do you have Auto Trader magazine in your area? That is the place to buy a used car. Does DS want reliable transportation or something to impress the ladies? Reliable transportation would be a Honda Civic that has not been customized by a kid. Have your mechanic check it out. Also a nice little Toyota pickup would be good. DS just bought a Toyota pickup for $3500. Perfect basic transportation. Go to autotraderonline.com, then enter your zip code, enter Honda, (or whatever make) enter your price range, and put in auto within 100 miles. It should come up with some vehicles, with pictures. Private party is best to buy from, but some dealers are ok too. Good luck.
I personally am against cows traveling to foreign lands. If anyone should travel to foreign lands, I should. Send any extra airline tickets to me.
okay!! peachpit---we did all the Lemonade Books {good books on cars,their reliability and the year and make etc} and toyota came up great every time----that's all i know---except we have had our 98 toyota since 2001 and it still works great---lots of humps,bumps and dings on it from the darling dd's {and me i am sure} BUT!!! it never has broken down even once!!!our GM van breaks down all the time--WABBY!! your wedding event sounds dee light ful-------kind of romantic evening for you and your hubsie!!! ---CHERRY COW DARLING---that is not like us at all to start doing something reasonable and healthy and then just STOPPING!!! what in heavens got into this well ordered, letter of the law herd!!AND ON A FINAL NOTE----- let's all chip in for kiwi and get her a big bear of a doggie---after all ---------SHE BOUGHT US A COW!!!!!
Kiwonker, I see by your egg that you are online. I would like you to stop by and post. Let's talk doggies. I definitely think you need one, and deserve one. It's time.
DH wants to go camping this weekend and I want to stay in town and help DS move into his house. This is a big deal to DS. DH says he's got to get out of town and relax. I need a clone.
Yes, I agree on Toyotas, Bagzie. I had a Celica back in the day and a Toyota station wagon when the kidlets were little and both were very reliable. I loved them both. Bagzie---- sometimes I think it's silly that DH and I still feel romantically inclined, but hey, we do. Yesterday after work we went for a drive in the country in our purdy old '64 Chevy Impala, stopped at a little cafe for a burger, and stopped by some friends house for a chat. Then our neighbors came over for a drink and we talked until the mosquitoes chased us in. I wish summers went on forever.
You're a hoot, Bagz! Yes, you should all buy me a puppy; I'll pay for it! Hey, if it's given to me, what can I do, right?
Good advice on the used cars, Wabbit. Buying cars is such a mystery for me; I've always been glad to have anyone take charge of it (fortunately I have never been more than a stone's throw from someone who liked that sort of thing).
Oh my, I just got an email full of 3-week-old pics of the puppies I want to go see. There are 12 photos, so far I have only looked at one. Eleven gasps of OOOooo and Aaaawwwwwww to go.
Si, si, lots of puppy pictures por favor. We're making yet another trip to the animal shelter on Thursday.
I may just post a picture of my new vacuum because it's the absolute bomb and I have nothing else to get excited about.
Today we took our Spanish/German visitors to Hamelin, home of the Pied Piper. It was fun. We went to a glass blowing show. Cooooool. And we climbed up the inside of a church tower. Not cool. Really scary. Dh barfed when we got home. No idea what's up with him. He never barfs.
I can say all my colours in Spanish now but I'm too shy to do it here so you'll have to take my word for it.
Your wish is my command. I love the one with the different-colored legs -- they call her Diva. The others they call by their colored ric-rac collars, but of course Diva is easy to tell from the others. I daresay she will be the most spoiled pup of the litter. She can't be shown though, in the show ring, because of her odd coloring. Not that I want a showdog anyway. (So she'd be perfect for MEMEME.)
