some pics...

well, the puppies are gone.. :) they really were no trouble, and even made me laugh quite a bit. for example, this morning, i let them out to go to the bathroom. Linny goes running out to the edge of the yard inches away from the sidewalk to the end of her leash. i didn't realize it, but there was a boy riding his bike by at exactly the same time, and big ferocious linus made the boy fall off his bike. hee hee.. the dogs also go nuts when stacey (neighbor) come out of her house. i bet she really liked putting her daughter into the car with the two dogs barking her ears off and scraping at the edge of her driveway.

here's one of the girls on their walk saturday.


here's how i like them best.


and here is one from the other night.

i'm finally finished resetting my parents computer. if they get another virus they will need to just buy a new computer. shiiiit. i've spent too many weekends on this.

ya know, i didn't think that butter could go bad. all my life my parents leave the butter out of the fridge so it is soft. well, after their camping excursion they came home with something called "olivio" i think, its in a cute dish, and touts that its part olive oil, etc. so i just made some rings and opened up the butter and smelled something like blue cheese. so i start scooping some butter on my rings all the while noticing there are dark spots in the butter. crumbs i think... then as the blue cheese smell really hits me i look closer and see the fuzzy green spots all over the butter, and the "dark crumbs" are like serious mold, cause i didn't realize that noone here eats toast anymore, we don't even have any bread in the house. yeah, that was dumpsterized. hopefully i don't get sick...

hmmm... side-effects?

for a couple of days now i have been feeling kinda lightheaded maybe... the kind of feeling you get if you are upside down for a while and you sit up real fast. but not exactly like that... i have to wonder if it is not side effects from the paxil... i'm hoping some white wine will drown it out.

i just got sooo scared... i'm watching the office season 2 and in this one episode there is a sound that sounds like the storm door on our house opening... i hear it an automatically think someone is here. ugh, so scary. the dogs even came running and barking... i locked all the doors. phew!!!

i love 'the office'... so funny..

*****update*****

i have been reformatting cath and mikes computer again.. *somehow* they got a virus... i am installing anti-virus this time! this shit takes all night to do. grrrrrrr....

i'm also burning all the episodes of lost and prison break that i have here on my computer to disk. it takes 16 disks. shiiiiiiit. the dogs are sleeping like babies. walking them really makes them happier and more importantly QUIETER...

i bought a dvd recorder on ebay, so now i can burn to dvd all the shows that cath tapes on her dvr. most especially "the dog whisperer" i should even be able to make copies of the dvd's i make since there will be 2 dvd players on that tv. shiiiit.

i think tomorrow i am going to try to clean out either the coat closet, or the front closet with the flag and the iron. especially since i've seen all the new movies out there. :)

the weekend so far

i was blown off on friday night, so i walked the dogs, and went to see 'employee of the month' with probably the same teenagers i saw jackass with last weekend.

these dogs could not be more different from each other. they are from the same breeders and most likely have some of the same blood, but boy are they different. they LOVE to go on walks. they know the word too, so you have to spell it out as if they were children or they will go nuts...

they line right up at the door when you grab the chokers. patty is like a model dog, i really think she could probably be shown. she walks perfectly, she stops when i stop, she walks within the length of the leash and stays on the sidewalk. Linny on the other hand chokes herself the whole way, bulldozes through the wet grass and leaves, meanders all over the place, and stops to watch leaves fall off the trees.

employee of the month was okay. there were a lot of familiar faces in it. my favorite being "perdro" from napolean dynomite. jessica simpson wasn't that bad.

today i woke up late (9am) and surprisingly the dogs weren't barking.. nor did they wake me up in the middle of the night with any barking.. i showered, started some laundry cleaned up a little and headed out to see 'the departed'. i have to admit it was a pretty great movie, and not just because it was filmed in boston... at first the boston accents were a little much and either i got used to them, or the actors lost them by the end of the movie. leonardo dicaprio was great! this is the first role i've loved him in since 'this boys life'. i would highly suggest that everyone see this. i might even see it again.. and oh, the crowd at the theater this morning was far different then the crowd last night. the crowd consisted of about 25 whiteheads..

in social life news...i have not, and doubt i am going to, hear from that girl i knew in college about going out tonight. i'm 2 for 2 as far as blowing off goes this weekend... woo who! go me! too bad my parents don't live closer to boston. :(

the babies are coming...

tonight em and ryan come to town with their baby Pomeranian dogs. i am not qualified enough to babysit the lab i guess, they are leaving s-murphy with yvonne. i have been given strict orders that i am to walk them twice a day. shiiiiiit. i don't even walk myself twice a day. the best part about babysitting them though is that when they are bad (and i'm sure that blonde one will be bad) i can put them in their cages and they behave. :)

i'll take some pics of them.

em and ryan are going to nicoles wedding.. i'll be interested to hear all about the hangovers when they come back on sunday to pick up the babies.

if i get my way this weekend i will see a movie on friday with debbie, and go out for drinks on saturday with kristen and kate in armory square... but.... as it seems harder to lock down plans with either of these ladies than to cure AIDS, i will probably end up hanging out watching the movie by myself on friday night and watching netflix by myself on saturday night.... and walking the poms, of course.

pics are working again...

it was brought to my attention this morning that the link to my pictures was not working.. well, i fixed it.. here it is again..

also.. for those of you keeping track...day 2 of using the Vo5 hair mousse and it came out of the can just as nicely today as it did yesterday. :)

i'm meeting up with Mrs Monks tonight for dinner. she is in town for budget meetings.. i've been ordered to go to Clarks. should be a good time as Clarks always is. i'm hoping we can hop over to one or more of the cute places in armory square too.

so productive

after i dropped breeD off at her next destination i was so productive. i cleaned up after the "after hours" that went on at chez brown. including cleaning the vomit off the floor of my bedroom. i returned bottles and cans. i ran the diswasher and put away the dishes when they were done. i did 5 loads of laundry and folded them and put my own away. i also gathered all the laundry in the house including towels. i gathered and disposed of the upstairs trash. i rearranged my closet to accommodate the cold weather. i dug my boots out of the basement. i re-did the where can you find us page of Vampbags.com website. i did a couple hours of work for FC. i watched SNL that i had taped. i deleted and scheduled more shows on the DVD for my parents. i went grocery shopping and planned out and entered into my spreadsheet my meals for this week. i watched episode after episode of Celebrity fit club and Flavor of Love. i put away the artwork from my artshow and rehung the borrowed stuff. i also refolded all the towels in the upstairs hallway.god i'm a good houseguest. :)

on the recommendation of SB i am trying out a new hair mousse. its Vo5 curvaceous curls! it doesn't smell as nice as the garnier fructis curl construct, but it holds pretty much the same, maybe better even.. i do like how it comes out of the bottle too. although it could just be a "first time" use thing. the garnier fructis comes out of the bottle best the first time and the very last time.. we'll see. its a solid standby if you curly haired friends are in a pinch. but product smell for me is equal to/if not more important than the hold. breeD also recommended a finishing spray that she uses made by aussie called "sprunch". it smells heavenly, like grape soda! i almost bought it yesterday, but i am going to hold off till i run out of the Vo5...

happy yom kippur my jewish friends!

speaking of jewish friends, saturday was a blast!! i got another call from work that woke me up sat morning. then i picked up breeD, we stopped by wegmans and she said hello to what seemed like the whole store. then we had lunch and did a little shopping.. we also spent a great deal of time watching "Flavor of Love 2" which came in handy for our bar time..

bree had made some arrangements for the ever elusive lisha to meet up with us, and her friend annie was also in town. the plan was to go to mulligans.

we met up at mulligans and laughed all night! here are some of the highlights..

bree is "allergic" to the hops in beer. she can't drink beer, it makes her sick. we've narrowed it down to either the hops or the yeast. she's not sure which.

i found out what lisha does for work. she works by herself handing out mufflers to budweiser employees from 12-7am.

annie brings a small framed photo of her cat and her boyfriend where ever she goes.

"dirty text messaging" is a new fun and exciting game to play when you're boyfriend is at home with his mom

annie knew a girl in HS that was very mean to her... turns out it is my parents neighbor "stacy"

i found out that 1. pizza places don't like to deliver all the way out to fayetteville, especially at 3AM. 2. 24Hour P&C carries a perfectly good "ready to cook" garlic pizza

bree can "figure out" the new chips ahoy packaging better than lisha.

the most important thing we learned was... "we know what time it is!!!!"



here are more pics of the night.
