update on us come heres

Since I last updated some good things have happened. We had some hamburgers, There was pizza and twice we had shrimp. Oh and did I mention the Bisque?

A few other small items. I PASSED MY TEST. I can stop studying and get on with my life. Which seems to consist of moving. Moving into Mom and Pat's while they gallivant about the East coast. They had a great great time and we watched alot of Dog the Bounty Hunter. Then we moved out because they don't like living in their house with our stuff piled all over everything (selfish much?) And now we are preparing for - hold onto your hats - a permanent move into a house of our own. e are 7 days a way from closing all has been approved.

Cassie is still timexing along. We gave up on rice and now she eats her dog food with chicken or steak every meal. She can't handle the ramp anymore so we carry her. Mom and Pat keep her during the day (God Bless them) She gets around much better there because of the carpet and we don't have to worry about her falling without someone hearing her. It is such a relief. Mom had been checking on her twice every day over here but now that she has to be carried downstairs this is much easier on all. She is still a happy girl Happy hungry and loving. Just slower about it.

Well helllllloooooo

I know I know I know.  I suck at updating the blog.  If it makes anybody feel any better I also suck at updating twitter and face book.  I'm a lurker.  

I really love my new job.  Apparently  I had to go through the BAD job to get to a point where the Good job needed someone.  With a three month gap to read knit and spin.  

I had a birthday. An unspeakable year was attained.  We went to the city for the weekend.  Mom and Pat watched the Caster (still kicking praise God) for us.  We shopped at a TARGET.  we ate at a Chili's. We were consumers and it was ahhhwsome.  I bought myself a Wii Fit for with birthday money and after 5 consecutive days  of exercise I probably broken any record set in my previous decade.  It is alot of fun. 

Bad economy blues got 'cha down?  Need a mini vacay?  Try priceline we got a very very nice hotel for $60.00 dollars a night. 

Oh there is more but I have so many chores.  Oy vey.

 

Bunny

I made a bunny.

He looks slightly (only slightly) better in bunny.  

Also just a little something.  I got a JOB.  A real job 9-5 benifets.  Oh ya uh huh.  Woo hoo.

I am working at an insurance company now and so far (2 days in) I love it.  Thank God because I also landed another job just before this one 12 hours a week start time 5:15 am.  I woulda done it but am so glad I don't have to.

We went to Fredricksburg last weekend to celebrate and Tommy was all kinds of awed to see the Fredricksburg Battlefield.  The Sunken Road there was a place he had always wanted to see.  It was a proper bloodbath of a battle and all he could say about it was "Its just so sad."

Pat and Mom took me out and bought me a bunch of new clothes to celebbrate and prepare me for my new job.  Apparently the dryer has shrank all my old clothes.  (thats my story and I am stickin to it.)

Busy week

Hello anyone who still checks in periodically to see if I am still here.  This week has been pretty busy considering I am basically housebound.  By house bound I am referring to the fact unless Cassie goes with me or Mom comes and stays with her I don't go anywhere.  Cassie is pretty sick.  We have her symptoms currently under control so she doesn't seem to be hurting but I am afraid she is not long for this world.  So since I am unemployed we decided that I should stay home all the time with her.  She gets pretty freaked out when home alone and she has had a few episodes of falling and not being able to get up (not in awhile since we adjusted her medicine).  As you can see in the picture above she is not her usual self.  Normally she wouldn't fraternize with the cat.

I turn 40 next month - it is time for you to start shopping!  Actually I bring this up for two reasons.  

1st because I want your sympathy (and gifts)  how sad to be unemployed on your big 40?

2nd  Lee beat you to it in the gift department.  She has sent me a wonderful wonderful unexpected gift.  A spinning wheel.  she sent it early because she figured I have some extra time on my hands now and could really learn to use it.  I am learning slowly but Oh wow how cool.  Now I really need a pasture.  I needs me some Alpacas.

We had 80 degree weather on Monday.  Today it snowed.  In like a lion... O did  you see the Christian the lion video that had been going around?  Oprah had the men from the video on today.  It seem to me that Christian wasn't really in the wild so much as on a preserve with pretty constant human interactions when the video was taken.  Oprah had more video from there next visit - so  I know it isn't exactly what I thought it was when I first saw it but I still teat up.  Anther bonus to unemployment - I can watch Oprah whenever I want.  If the antenna is getting Maryland in that is.

I have another interview next week.  Thank God! Maybe I won't be all sad and unemployed on my birthday (have you shopped yet?  I have an amazon wish list you know.  you don't even have to go out).

I had a friend lose her Daddy this week, I feel so bad for her and her family.  She is Daddy's girl and he was taken too soon.  

I had a friend have a grandbaby this week. A big (8.lb oz) beautiful baby boy.  

And so it goes. 

its been awhile

I have really not been a good blogger at all.  Case in point: we received approx 5 inches of snow here Sunday and Monday.  It was a beautiful fairyland and I took exactly 0 pictures.  It was cold  and I didn't want to.

I am still unemployed.  Cassie has been very sick lately and I am now staying home with her every day.  I went out once this week and she went with me.  She is still happy, and all of her bodily functions are working proper;y she is just weak.  If left alone she will fall and she can't get up.  Plus she starts howling if we leave her alone.  

I have been knitting and knitting.  I am doing a merse for someone right now with cables!  I like cables very much.  I thing I will have to make something Celtic for Tommy soon.

nevermind

no house.  no job.
