(no subject)
I got out of the house today and I feel soooo much better as a result. I just left and ran some errands that I needed to run. I put on makeup and cute clothes and heels and it helped a lot. I know it's so simple, but I guess I just needed some time to myself. I called my OBGYN and unfortunately she's on vacation but her nurse told me what to do. I called UNCG and found out what I have to do to register for next semester. I picked up my prescriptions, ran some errands, etc. It was nice. I'm way more relaxed tonight. I just don't feel as on edge as I have been lately.
The dogs have produced laughs nonstop since I got home earlier. They're so funny. They play nonstop; well, Emmie thinks they're playing most of the time and Roxie gets annoyed after awhile and stops playing and starts fighting. Emmie has no idea, though. She's just stuck in this happy lala land where everybody is nice and nobody would ever get mad. That's one of the MANY reasons I love her so much. I can't wait to take them to Charlotte on Friday. It's my nephew's 16th birthday (actually it's my other nephew's 6th birthday as well) and I can't WAIT to see everyone. It's going to be fun. Going to see my sister and her kids is always fun. I'll have to get some pictures of everyone because I don't think I have any recent pics of my nephews and niece. Cody (the 16 y/o) is HUGE now. He's like 6'2" or something like that. He's really cool, too. It's weird having a nephew who's only eight years younger than I am but it's also really fun. I can't wait until he comes up for Thanksgiving, too. We play XBOX together :P. We play Army of Two and get really foul mouthed and shoot people. I'm such a good influence, lol.
My mom and I are speaking again. Of course. We never stay mad at one another for very long. I think the most we've ever gone without speaking was five days and I was in Raleigh at the time so it's not like we were seeing each other in person and ignoring one another. Ha, coincidentally she was mad at me because I hung out with Gracie for the first time in years. I was mad at her for trying to control who I was friends with when I was way too old for her to pull that type of shit (21). I guess I should have listened to her! Gracie = bad fucking news.
Emmie's house training seems to have really clicked all of a sudden. She only has accidents about every other day and she has really started to hold it. I'm so proud :D. I think I'm going to take her to Battleground Park tomorrow. Or Country. I'll leave Roxie at home because I haven't gotten her Gentle Leader collar yet and I'm scared she'll try to kill someone without a training collar on. She's really not a nice dog, haha. I'm working with her, though. She FREAKS OUT whenever I walk her and someone walks by with their dogs (which happens a lot in my neighborhood so half the time when I walk her I can't get her to do anything because she's too busy trying to attack people and their dogs) so the other day I got all Cesar Millan on her ass and made her sit and "go into a different mindset" every time people walked by so after about 20 minutes she would stay calm. I actually got her calm enough to sit on a loose leash when people walked by us. That's AMAZING if you know Roxie. And yes, I watch too much "Dog Whisperer".
I love when people who don't normally talk to me contact me, but I hate when they do it just because they've read my journal and are all of a sudden concerned about me. I really appreciate the effort and the sentiment, but if you want to be my friend, can't you be my friend all the time? It's weird, though, because stuff like that makes me realize just how many people read my journal. I never write my entries as if anyone reads them. I mean, sure, I am aware that people on my F List read them, but I never think about the people who aren't LJ users. There are way more people who AREN'T on LJ who read my journal than those who are. I know people I went to high school with read it, a couple of exes, an ex's girlfriend, some people I don't know, etc, but I never think about it. It's hard to ignore it when I write several entries that are negative and all of a sudden I get IMs and texts checking on me. It's bittersweet. I really do appreciate it, but I wish some of those people would talk to me consistently, ya know?
Ok, time for "Gossip Girl". Yea, I totally watch it and I'm not ashamed of it. It's easily my favorite TV show now. It's brilliantly entertaining, so haters to the left. I'm going to watch and enjoy some Roxie cuddles.
Oh, while I'm here I thought I might ask if anyone wants to wash, condition, and trim two dogs' toenails on Thursday? Any takers? The Akita has to be blown dry and brushed thoroughly, too. And she's never had her toenails trimmed before. That doesn't sound appealing to anyone? You're crazy. I think it sounds titillating. (Not really...)
And I'm out.
ETA: Oh, snap! Barefoot Contessa's new season recorded today! Ina's back, baby!
