30 days today

Today marks 30 days I've been cigarette free...again. It's an accomplishment that I'm pretty happy with as I can do all these new things now, like breathe. Quite amazing really.

I was on the elliptical machine for 20 mins and I didn't run out of breath at all. I was breathing heavy, but that's supposed to happen when you're exercising - or so I'm told.

So, hooray for me. :)

While in Market Basket at the deli counter:

Me: Can I have 1 1/2 lbs of pre-sliced, white American cheese please. Oh, and I don't care which brand - whichever one you grab first.

Boy: What kind do you want?

Me: I don't care, whichever one you grab first.

Boy: Huh?

Me: I don't care.

The boy grabs the Market Basket white, American cheese blob and puts it on the machine.

Me: Is that the pre-sliced cheese?

Boy: No.

Me: Can I have 1 1/2 lbs of pre-sliced, white American cheese please?

Boy: Oh.

The boy goes out back, grabs a blob of pre-sliced white, American cheese and proceeds to pull off big chunks until he has a pound on the scale.

Boy: Anything else?

Me: Yes. Another 1/2 lb of that please.

Boy: Oh.

The boy grabs another hunk, weighs it, bags it, tags it and hands it over.

Boy: We can't fit more than a pound of cheese in a bag.

Me: Ok.

Was I like that when I was a kid? I was in a patient mood today so I took it all with a smile. Yeah, I don't know what was wrong with me either. ;)

I'm in Presentational Speaking right now. If memory serves me correctly, I think I'll get my A.A.S degree after this class. Won't that be nice. :) I'll be continuing on of course - I don't know near enough for my liking. Then again, I'm not sure I'll ever know near enough for my liking. I'd be a professional student if I could. Can you imagine learning everything you've ever had a question about? You'd never learn it all, but boy would it be fun trying! At least I think it would.

Off to do homework before hitting the hay.

Monster Jam

Today we're taking Zeke and Max to Monster Jam. I'm so excited!! We have Pit Passes, which will be new and thrilling to Zeke I'm sure. I'll bring my camera, of course.

Then it's home to do homework and play with the pups. Flyball practice in the AM on Sunday and Lily's adoption that afternoon. More homework, some food shopping and that's it for me. Pretty benign weekend.

It's good to be back...

Last night I moved all the posts from one server to another so there shouldn't be any missing content. I'm going to leave the other blog where it is for now but the app takes up a bunch of space so eventually I'll delete it.

Paula came over last night to pick up Harley, a 10 year old rescue I've had since October. Harley is going to live with Paula's father in South Carolina. They will be the perfect match!

I have one rescue left, Lily, who will be going to her new home on Sunday. The house will seem quiet with just 4 dogs and 2 cats.

I've been working with Tweak on flyball and frisbee. I've been throwing in some freestyle moves like her jumping on my back, jumping on my leg, flipping in the air for the frisbee, weaving through my legs, etc. She's quite the student!

The kids and I will be heading down to NJ/PA in a month for a 2 day disc competition. We're staying at Susan's and will commute back and forth on Sat & Sun. I can't freakin' wait.

Freddie, Tweak & I have a flyball tournament in a couple of weeks in Manchester. As much as I can't stand the disorganization of their tourneys, it is quite convenient being only 25 minutes away.

It's time for me to head off to work!

Crazy shit man...

So I moved my blog to my server because I wasn't able to use the Blogger tool to post to my server once they moved my site to a new box. That was back in July.

Since then, I've had nothing but a hassle.

It wasn't the blogging software I switched to, just like it wasn't Blogger the first time I moved. It's my hosting company. It was both times. But since I don't pay for my domain, I guess I really can't bitch. I will, I just recognize that I don't have the right.

I stopped writing because I got aggravated every time I logged in and something was wrong.

I've missed writing - I enjoy putting my thoughts to "paper" so to speak.

Freddie's # 5!

Woohoo!!!!

It's official! Freddie is the fifth Min Pin in the sport of Flyball! Boy does that feel good!

Our hold on the spot is tenuous but we're going to a tourney in 2 weeks that will hopefully help cement our position.

Look out number four 'cuz here we come!!!

A very proud and almost teary,
