Good topics and ideas
The past 4 days I've had great blog topics and ideas, just haven't have the time/energy to sit and type.... Pathetic excuse I know but I'm here now....
My weekend wasn't too bad. Friday I met my mom at my work and we went shopping. I arrived there plenty early since I needed to return the humidifier I had bought a few weeks ago. The box said that it was a quiet humidifier, the name is even 'QuietMate' or something like that. But it was NOT quiet! The fan would start out somewhat quiet but would get louder and after awaile would be louder then my bathroom fan...driving me nuts. So it went back to the store! Mom showed up about 15 minutesz late but I expected that.... She bought some mini bottles of maple syrup for their trip to Belize and a basket, bowl set and picture frame for an old college friend who is getting married again soon, and I few other odds and ends. Then I went home and dozed with Laurey. We went over to my parents house around 6 and helped my dad make pizza for dinner. Then I spent about an hour taking all his clothes out of the closet, drawers and shelves, folding and organizing them all. I also sorted out the old stuff, the holey socks, stained and bleeched shirts and other 'yucky' things. Quite a big pile! I was amazed that my dad had that many t-shirts since he only wears a few of them. He seemed very happy with his "new" closet. I did have to turn about 98% of the shirts right side out.... We went to the hockey game - started at 8, late! - and Univ of VT lost 6-1 from Univ of NH. Oh well....
Saturday I worked 10-4:30.... BUSY day, lots of customers so I was on my register most of the time. From about 1:30-3:30 I was ringing constently...just moving people on out! Getting home around 5:15 I called my dad and then had to pick him up to take him shopping. I have no idea why he wanted me to pick him up but he did. The store we went to is about 1/2 way between out houses...oh well. I picked him up and we went to EMS - Eastern Mountain Sports - and he bought a pair of sandles: Keen Newport, size 14 and a pair of light weight khaki pants. Also some bug stuff and peppermint soap. Then I dropped him off and went home to veg with Laurey.
Sunday.... I worked 10-2, busy again! Then scooped up Laurey and went to my parents. We took Tripper for a walk, or I should say Laurey pulled me along and I pulled Tripper behind me. Dad and I headed over to hockey at 3:45 for the 4pm game against Univ of MA at Lowell. UVM won 3-2! Both teams took timeouts late in the 3rd period...people were frustrated since they wanted to go home and watch the Superbowl but some stayed (we ALWAYS stay until the end - perfect example is Friday (see above) when UVM lost 6-1, almost everyone lost when UNH scored the 6th goal but UVM did come back with 1 goal very late in the game, but my dad and I were some of the onlt ones until the end. Laurey and I took off for home pretty quickly and watched recorded 'Law & Order' until bedtime.
This week I'm working today, Monday, 11-5:30 and Thursday 11-5:30. Tuesday my dad is having a surgery on his finger, basically the tendon is his right middle finger has a knot on it and the knot is going to be shaved off. I'll take him to the doctor and back home and then I have a condo board meeting at 6 that night. Wednesday I have totally off, no threapy, my doctor has a conference or something....
Other news: I switched Laurey to a new weight control/loss dogfood. Its about the same price and I can only buy it at a vet's office but I have a new place to buy it that is closer to my house. And Laurey loves it, gobbles it right down but then she eats most everything.... She's chewing on my rawhide bone right now.
I hope you had a nice weekend and your week will go well, no problems! FIngers crossed! L, E

For me it all comes down to the Puppy, even though she's not 'technically' a pup anymore.
Glad that you had a nice weekend.
