Saturday I went to a free dog behavior workshop at the SPCA (humans only). It was pretty interesting. I think once you get the basic idea down (positive reinforcement, ignore the bad stuff, get them to do the thing you want them to do and then assign a word to it and reward) you pretty much know it, but it's good to be reminded, and I got some ( Read more... )

I'm at jury duty right now. I don't mind, I'm getting paid to hang out and play on the laptop all day, or read, or whatever. Not sure how I feel about actually serving on a jury since I've never been picked before. Could be interesting. My mom works at City Hall, so she's taking me out to lunch when we get a break. We are finally going to ( Read more... )

Friday Casey went home with Elise for the night and I spent a quiet evening on my own at home. Saturday, after I was done sleeping in, I went to Walmart to exchange the sheets I'd bought Friday because, duh, I thought my mattress was a full and as it turns out, it's actually a queen. Washed the sheets and also some towels and blankets, relaxed a ( Read more... )

It's been nice to have 3 days off in a row (and I even got to sleep in on all of them!). The downside is being in my house too much, which contains many Girl Scout cookies and lots of Valentines candy. There's a reason I don't keep this stuff in the house on a regular basis. I eat it all! (typed as I munch on the Ed Hardy candy popcorn my ( Read more... )

I finally have heat in my house! Got tired of waiting for my cousin's friend to get his butt in gear and called an actual company, who came out later that same day (Saturday) and fixed it. Temporarily apparently... I guess he's coming back tomorrow to replace the module thingy. Whatever, I'm just happy to have warmth ( Read more... )

Saturday was mostly kind of a lazy day. I did manage to do a bit of laundry, and make a quick trip to the store for some of the things on the shopping list (gotta get the rest tomorrow after work). That evening Casey and I volunteered at the neighborhood Halloween party. She was one of the zombies in the graveyard leading up to the haunted house ( Read more... )

I finally squeezed in some time to try out my new Wii Fit Plus game tonight (after a busy day of work, shopping, picking Casey up, dropping her off at youth group, going home, fixing myself some dinner, feeding, medicating, cleaning up after and taking out the dog, etc... sigh). It's very cool. I haven't had time to try all the new games yet, but ( Read more... )

I'm sorry, not really interested in studying anything with someone who doesn't know how to spell the word "you're".

Saturday and Sunday were mostly spent doing random chores and relaxing. We did go to church and breakfast with my parents Sunday as usual. Casey altar served for the first time in a while, and we had a visiting priest who was Scottish and is currently doing a mission in Ecuador ( Read more... )

Went to Kohl's Saturday evening because I had received a coupon in the mail for $10 off anything in the store and desperately needed new shoes for work. As luck would have it, they were having a big shoe sale, 80% off on most pairs. So I got work shoes and sandals. Each pair was originally priced around $50, and I got them both for a total of ( Read more... )
