Whew. I've spent all morning making flowcharts. Boring. I am finally finished (except I know he's going to send changes), so I am having lunch and I can finally post and read my flist. Woo.
OMG, do you guys have that Yawn-A-Thon ad on your LJ screens too? I can't take it anymore. How can they make us look at people yawning all the time? WTF?
Speaking of things to look at, today I changed the jack russell calendar in my cubicle to July, and it's this cute lil' guy who looks like Willow. Except HELLO dog penis. Holy crap, I think I need to put a post-it on there. It's very distracting and disturbing. LOL
So anyway, here's what happened after I posted yesterday:
-I emailed Regal about getting my money back from the movie ticket debacle. No word back yet.
-I balanced my checkbook and paid a bill.
-I emailed Mike and Linda to thank them for the gift card.
-Casey came home with a new pair of shorts. That's all my mom could find that she liked. Picky picky.
-I ran out to Walgreens and grabbed some laundry detergent, a birthday card for my mom, and a little beanie bear keychain holding a present that says "Happy Birthday", which I stapled to the card.
-I took a shower
-I did a bunch of laundry
-Willow was a HUGE pain in my ass. I have heard that rainy weather makes dogs crazy, and it seemed to be the case yesterday. First she kept stealing CDs from the rack. Dave Matthews and then Aerosmith twice. Did she want me to put on some music or what? Then she got stuck behind the entertainment center. She keeps sniffing back there because she still smells the gecko. Every once in a while she actually walks back there and then can't get out. LOL. Then she stole Casey's lip gloss, and it was a big ordeal for us to get it back from her. And then last night, she got her head stuck under my recliner. While I was sitting in it. She was sniffing around under there and then I heard her start yelping. Casey was like "OMG her head is stuck!" So she got out and she was fine, and then we laughed our asses off at what an idiot dog she is.
-Casey and I picked 2 recipes to cook this week out of our Healthy Food Kids Love cookbook. We chose pizza and chicken tenders.
-I put together a grocery list with ingredients for the above meals and some other things, but never had time to actually go shopping. That will be today after work.
-I got Casey's stuff ready for today's trip to Wet N Wild, filled out her permission slips for next week's trips and gave her money for them.
-I cleaned out the gecko tank
-I cleaned my room, which is usually kept clean, but lately I've been a total slob so this took a bit of time. I also dusted in there.
-I unhooked the phones from my room and Casey's and put them in a box to sell at the next garage sale (no home phone line anymore)
-I took a 20 minute break from housework to read my book, White Oleander. Me likey so far. I'm proud that this was the only time I stopped working until yesterday evening. I didn't get everything done (at least I'm off Wednesday), but I can say that I tried. It's not like I just got lazy and quit early or something.
-We had dinner at Applebees with my brother and parents for my mom's birthday. My brother cracked us up (as usual) when he talked about how his roommates' cat stalks him all the time, following him around and then when he looks at him, laying down like he'd just been lounging there all along. Then he made me laugh later when we went to our cars. It was pouring outside, so he was running to his car and screaming, and then there was a big flash of lightening and he screamed like a banshee. ROFL.
-Casey pissed me off. When we got home from dinner I put on Will and Grace. I have my DVR taping all the episodes because Casey is a new fan, and so I am, kind of. I never watched it on a regular basis, so there are some I have not seen. Anyway, we were watching that, and when one ended at 8 PM, I told Casey to go take a shower. I knew she'd want to watch The 4400 at 9 and wanted her to have plenty of time to be ready. She said that she only needed 30 minutes, and could we just watch one more Will and Grace? I said fine. So when it ended, I said "Time for your shower", turned off the TV and took Willow out. I come back in and she's laying on the couch, having turned the TV back on. WTF? So I yell at her and she's like "You said maybe. I didn't know I had to go." I don't remember if I said maybe or not, but the fact is that she knew it was time... we had discussed it already, and IF I said maybe, my tone didn't say that and it was probably a sarcastic maybe. I told her to stop lying and playing dumb. She knew exactly what she was doing. So she finally goes up there while we yell at each other. She goes in her room and I'm like "The shower isn't in there.", but I figure maybe she's getting her PJs or something. It was like 8:55 before she actually went in and turned on the shower. And then...
-Casey discovered a bug stuck to her shoulder. I have no idea what it was.. it didn't look like a tick. But I think she got it in the springs. It looked like a mole that was loose. I thought that's what it was, but when we pulled it off, it had legs. CREEPY. WTF was that? I hope this doesn't make her never want to swim in the springs again. EDIT: I just talked to my mom (country girl extraordinaire) and she thinks it was a tick. EW, how disgusting.
Anyway, she finally took a shower. And then she got mad at me for starting to watch The 4400 without her. Uh, yeah. Cause you didn't have plenty of time to take that shower before it started. She's like "I can't help it if I had a bug on me!" and I reminded her that by the time she found that, it was like 5 minutes to 9. Erg.
-Last night I dreamed that my ex-boyfriend Ken proposed to me. Funny, since he's already married, and yeah I love him, but more in a brotherly way. But yeah, in my dream I was sitting at a table and Josh was sitting across from me and Ken was beside me (the table of exes, LOL). So I'm talking to Josh and Ken just turns to me and goes "I love you" and I'm like "WHAT?" and he goes "I'd like to marry you". Ha ha, weird. I don't remember my answer, but I think I slept with him and got pregnant with twins. The hell?
Anyway, there's my Sunday. Wee.
My life improvement plan is going oh so well, since I have forgotten to have Casey brush her hair every night and I forgot to weigh myself this morning. DOH. But I have been writing down everything I eat today and making sure it fits into the food groups and all that fun stuff. So we're getting there. I have a reminder in my phone to make Casey brush her hair tonight, and I'll try to remember to weigh tomorrow. *nods*
