Thoughts?
I know the feeling all too well. Last night our tv and cable went out for 2 hours. And then I spent 2 hours trying to catch up on stuff - I was up late.
Hope that everyone has a good day.
Morning! I just finished my work out and my abs are feeling it.
I saw that report Teachers. I think a phone call should have been made instead.
Im off to Meijers. I'll jump back in later. TTFN!
Good Morning!
What book kept you up Teacher?
My body feels TIRED today. I woke up early so I figured I might as well run a few miles, but now every muscle in my body just feels fatigued. I think it's the combo of normal workouts + all the yard work we've been doing. I'll be taking a rest day tomorrow (aside from softball).
A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown. It's her memoir.....very good, if you are interested in that type of thing.
There was a dog at a house behind us that barked until midnight. I was not happy. We went in the backyard with a flashlight and saw a opposum sitting on top of the fence. I assume that's what the dog was barking at. If I knew which house the dog was barking at, I would have called the police to complain about it. I'll be taking an investigative walk after work to see who has a dog in their backyard, and will note their address. We could hear the dog, and the chain, but couldn't see anything in the dark to decipher which yard it was in.
I put in a request for vacation at the end of August. I can't wait. We'll do a staycation, but as long as I don't have to go to work for a week, I don't care!
****Warning: the following is a shameful plea for help for my business.***
If anyone would like to vote for ORGANISUM that would be great. Thanks

Our neighbors frequently leave all FOUR of their dogs in the backyard at like 4 am and they bark like crazy. Drives me nuts because our bedroom is right next to their yard.
I would walk around and go to their door and have a conversation about it, def not acceptable, especially with a sleeping baby!
What's everyone having for lunch?
I'm gonna shoot home and for some reason grilled cheese and tomato soup sounds yummy.
Ryan & I both use Google Voice. We've used it for about the last 1.5 years. We like it. I get a text message and email if I miss a call.
LOL, I just finished breakfast (I start nibbling when I get to work, so it takes me a while). But for lunch in a couple hours, I'll have my standby turkey sandwich.
I set it up to use my sprint number as my google voice number. Hope that was OK. The various options were kind of confusing.
Sorry you had to deal with yapping dogs, TW. I feel terrible when Toby is outside and I hear him barking. He's the main offender, Gordie will bark a couple times at something and then stop. Toby will hear Gordie barking and start barking and not understand when to stop because he doesn't know why he started. I get out there as fast as possible to call him in when I hear him though.
Mixed greens topped with mock tuna salad and some kefir.
I just had a turket & cheese sandwich, tortilla chips, and a fruit cup for lunch.
TW - I feel your pain. At our old house there was a dog that barked at all hours of the night. I felt horrible for the dog because it was even outside barking in the freezing cold nights of winter. I am all for animals living inside w/ their humans. When we had dogs, the minute one barked I was outside to quiet them and see what the reason was. Even as a dog owner I didn't want to listen to barking, especially with a baby.
Deeder - I voted for you!!
I just had a peanut butter & jelly sandwich for lunch. I'm normally not a fan of those but it sounded good for some reason.
I so can't wait for Friday and we head off on vacation for a week! The preparation for the trip isn't much fun but it is so worth it!
Have fun on your vacation, HannahsMom! Where are you guys off to?
I had a peanut butter sandwich with carrots and chips for lunch. Bo-ring.
The girls and I walked up to the grocery store, about a mile and a half one way. I am in between cars right now. We used the umbrella stroller because the jogger still has a flat. That was fun.
The girls picked Pizza lunchables for lunch, I had half of an italian sub from Family Fare.
I got bit by some insect last night on my upper inner arm. It's all red, hot and swollen today, and itchy...very very itchy. It's driving me nuts
