This is the silliest thing to complain about, considering they're both happy, healthy and wonderful pups. But I really dislike Odin and Loki's names. They don't suit them one bit, and lately it seems every second dog I see online has the name Loki or Odin. My ex named them, I had no input to be honest. Odin was either going to be Haggis or Odin, ( Read more... )

The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. Not dead, just lazy and preoccupied by:
(In no particular order)
-Sickness
-OCD knitting
-OCD sweater knitting (required it's own listing because I'm trying to get it done by Christmas)
-Holiday shopping/wrapping/shipping etc.
-Frantic searching for my missing engagement ring (to no avail thus far.)

I walk the dogs daily (or almost daily) on the same route. It's a good route because I'm only on the busy main street for a limited amount of time and then I go off onto a back street. The walk is nice, serene and pretty much mindless, until you get to the very end of the back street and come across a dilapidated old house up a slight hill. At some ( Read more... )

Today was ace. I slept in, but really didn't because Daylight Saving gave me back my extra hour. I dyed fiber, knit with gorgeous yarn that I would marry if I could (Rowen Colourscape Chunky, Kaffe Fasset Colourway: Ghost) and despite the oven breaking, still managed to have a super tasty chicken dinner. Yay for beer can chicken on the grill.

Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of a proper post yesterday. I wrote one but I was so stessed and upset about Odin's condition that it was just... not worth going live. Bascially just a lot of stress, and worry. Instead I wrote it, deleted it, and decided to wait until today after we got to see Charlie (our vet.) I didn't get much sleep last night ( Read more... )

Hey everyone!
How was your Halloween? It is also our anniversary (4 years!) but we already sort of celebrated (scooter was my gift. yay!) so we just had a quiet weekend watching movies and seeing family. I made a roast chicken dinner last night and we watched Hostel (which is really dumb. Gory, not scary at all.) We didn't get a single trick or ( Read more... )

Hey all!

Just a quick entry because I'm on G's comp. My computer died Saturday night. I clicked on a link on LJ (yup) and my virus scanner (avg) popped up with a trojan warning of a drop down list of trojans. I'm not joking, I counted at least 10 before everything froze. Then my computer wouldn't boot back up into windows. Something killed my poor ( Read more... )

We went out shopping today to check out scooters in person and see what I thought. We ended up going to Honda in Winston-Salem, and staying there despite my list of shops to check. The sales guy was awesome. Just super laid back, chill and answering all of my 50 million questions like I'd known him for 10 years. He didn't have the salesman vibe at ( Read more... )

In order to get healthy I'm going on hour long walks with the goggies (dogs.) But I can only take one at a time because
a) They're large
b) They're large and like to go in separate directions from each other
c) I only have 2 gentle leaders, and 3 dogs that refuse to wear them without kicking up a massive fuss and pulling at their faces.

It's been good ( Read more... )

I have found a downside to my smart phone, or rather Motoblur in particular

First off, I LOVE my phone. I'm still figuring it out. But one thing that has become grossly apparent is that it EATS data hard core. I was being my usual neurotic self and kept checking my data useage, and somehow I used nearly 10mb on an evening that I didn't even have the ( Read more... )
