I find it sad that even on my weekends off, I can’t sleep past 8am. Gorgeous day today, sun is out and it’s warm but not too hot. I checked out the dog park today, sans Leo, just to see what’s what. There were already three cars there, and four pulling in behind me. We’re definitely taking him next weekend we’re off. Ran some errands… went to Lowe’s for landscaping lights and got some dirt to fill in the holes that Mr. Hyper dug for us. Went to Target for dog food and treats. Okay, not so lazy Sunday I guess. Oh, and something broke my CSS. The page and content backgrounds are off from one another. Um, I haven’t changed anything in the CSS. Weirdness. Oh well, s’ok because I’m in the middle of coding a new look anyway for the site. I love the kiwi, but I wanna see if I can still do this stuff (if I can remember it. heh). Back to work tomorrow, blah. My vacation in August can’t get here quickly enough. 

Good thing they’re not real. I hate spiders. This is just a little post for technorati.

My horoscope says that my communication skills are golden today. Would seem to fit, because I’m not feeling real shy right now. I’m in a good mood, but I have a feeling it’s going to be one of those days that the people who routinely rub me the wrong way at work should steer clear. Even in a good mood, I’ve got a mean streak when it comes to my words lol. Nah, I’m just tired is all. Today is Fun Friday at work. During the Spring and Summer, we have cookouts throughout the day for people’s lunches and everyone signs up to bring something like a side dish or dessert. I just made mac & cheese for about 50 people. At 6am. I’m so glad I’m off this weekend.

Happy Friday  

Leo’s first vet visit was fantastic. He did SO well. We’ve only had him for a month, and I wasn’t sure how he’d be around the other animals since I only know for sure how he is with our cat. Well… he made fast friends with a HUGE Rottie and a very hyper boxer, so I think he’s gonna be fine! We had a long wait because they were running behind, and he even tried to console two little Yorkies that were nervous and barking up a storm. I’m just so thankful that he has the personality he does with other animals. I tried to take a picture in the waiting room of the dogs together but they all kept moving too much lol. He’s going to be so much fun at the dog park

I value my sleep when I’m fortunate enough to get any. Night owl by nature, I’m lucky to fall asleep by 2am most of the time. I know I’m getting old because I need more sleep now, and not getting it is catching up to me. I got home from work around 10:20pm, fast-forwarded through most of Idol to the end, and went to bed around 12. Around 2am, we were woken up by the most God awful, gutteral growl I’ve ever heard. Leo had Jasmine cornered by the bed and she couldn’t get away. He’s never tried to hurt her but he likes to play and I don’t think he realizes that his size scares her. So I got up and led him out of the room, gave him his bone and watched some tv. And then suddenly I was wide awake, yay! So I think I slept from about 4 to 5 on the couch, and here I am awake again. I finally get a day off work, and I have SO much to do around the house but of course, I’m beyond tired. Thank God for coffee.

Today is Leo’s first vet appointment. The shelter didn’t tell me that still needed his rabies vac when we adopted him, but I was looking through his adoption packet and his chart said he hadn’t received it yet so I had to call them to make sure. I’m a little nervous, because I’m not sure how the waiting room will go. Maybe there’ll be a Bull Mastiff that intimidates Leo LOL. I also found a dog park about 10 minutes from us that we’re going to check out this weekend. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. No more rain damn it!

Since I’m up I might as well start the housework, laundry and other crap that needs to be done around here. I leave with one last thing to say: Yay for David Cook!! 

Yeah, so the sun? Vanished. Today is cool, cloudy, and spitting here and there. Usually, I’d like that. Today however, I had a lot of plans like taking Leo for a long walk, and running errands in which I’d be getting out of the car a lot. Not that I mind getting rained on - I’m certainly not coated in sugar - but it would be nice to not look waterlogged while shopping.

I’m having RSS trouble. Apparently, I’m stupid because I can’t figure out what code to put where and if I need to do something to my RSS template and blah blah blah. I’ll figure it out. I’d like to be able to have a feed-readable site (did I just make that up? well whatever you know what I mean).

I had a craving for Clearly Canadian yesterday. I haven’t had that since high school. I wonder if they still make it? They do still make it, but apparently it’s not available anywhere near me. Oh well. I’d love an ice cold raspberry CC right now.

I came home from work to a hyper dog and two little accidents waiting for me to clean up. Funny… when I work nights, I find time to take him for a walk and play with him in the backyard long enough to tire him out until John gets home from work. Thanks for not doing your part “dad”.  (one of the biggest reasons I was hesitant to get a dog… I knew I’d be in it alone. GAH.)

I think that’s all I’ve got for now. Fried brain, nothing of interest to talk about I guess. I did wanna mention that I’m twittering now, and myspacing my time away (God help me). And I think I have a facebook. I’m sure a search would find me. Come say hi if you wanna. It’s my lame attempt at being social. Being a hermit just isn’t doing it for me anymore. Of course, that also means getting up once in a while and oh I dunno, going outside maybe? Baby steps Michelle, baby steps.
