I'm so remiss!

Things have been very hectic at work lately so I haven't had much time to blog. Blog at home I hear you say??? Ehhh, just doesn't feel the same.

Updates:
The dog is fine, on antibiotics and getting better from his latest bout with some sort of skin infection. $600 on the dog all within 7 days. Bye bye new dishwasher.

I took a lovely day off on Friday, and spent it cleaning the house. Ok, I know I'm a bit of a freak, but it was incredibly enjoyable for me. I got to clean everything from top to bottom, steam my carpets, fold and iron all the laundry....ok not exciting for the majority of the world, but you're reading about the girl who shrieked with happiness when she got a new vacuum cleaner last Christmas. Maybe I've missed my calling as an Office Manager, maybe I should start my own house cleaning service instead.

Anyway, it was relaxing to me, and incredibly satisfying to walk/sit anywhere on any floor in the house, and not feel a crunch, crackle, or squish underneath of me. We'll see how long it stays that way.

When did lobster cease to be a seafood? Did I miss that day?

Conjunction Junction What's your function?

The special 30th anniversary DVD of SchoolHouse Rock featuring all the songs ever created and a previously unreleased "Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips"!!!!!!!!!!!

It will be mine...oh yes...it will be mine

Do people actually talk that way?

I actually used the word "clout" in a sentence today. As soon as it came out of my mouth I felt like such a dork. Who else actually uses the words they learned for the SATs in everyday life?

I'm sorry but this was just too much for me.

Don't worry folks he's ok

For all my concerned friends...Arrow's fine. He finally got rid of the other sock that was the demon behind the puking spree. He's also going to be on medicine for the next two weeks. He also cost me $404.83 at the vet yesterday. Just for them to tell me he'd eaten a sock. But the joys of owning a pet far outweigh the cost right?

This morning he experimented with a roll of toilet paper.

I've just discovered that St. Swithin's Day falls on my birthday. Don't know what I'm talking about? See my post of May 15th "Great Literary Works of the Simpsons"

No...NO! DONT PUKE AGAIN!!!

It's been a fun morning. Our dog, eater of all things non-food had ingested some mysterious thing. This has caused a 6 hour vomiting spree. I awoke at 3:30 this morning to that dreaded heaving sound, only to fly out of bed while another pile was being made. Goody. My favorite thing to do. Clean dog puke. At an ungodly hour of the morning.

Just as I had gotten everything cleaned out of the carpet and settled back down to sleep...*HEAVE*. I jumped out of bed cursing, this time waking Andy up. The mess was cleaned and he suggested putting down our camping tarp on the carpet to prevent further accidents. We also opened up the bathroom door for quick rescues if we could catch them in time.

Just drifting off to sleep when Arrow jumps off the bed and starts smacking his lips...I leap with amazing speed and usher him into the bathroom. Just in time! Clean up on tile is much easier.

All went well after that...sort of. Everything went normally until I was in the shower and I heard a noise. PLEASE don't let that be what I think it was...then the smell hits me, yes even in the shower. He had sort of puked half on the carpet, half on the tiles.

That mess got cleaned up and I got Arrow settled back in bed with Andy. Said goodbye and mentioned to Andy that the dog was still puking some, so be wary. As I'm drying my hair..."HELP!"

You got it, more puke. Time for the vet.

We don't know yet what's in there...hopefully just the mate to the sock that was puked up yesterday morning.

PHEW

Finally got all the vacation details filled in. Hopefully I'll have things to blog about recent happenings soon.

Why can't my job work that way?

Overheard in the elevator at my office

Girl 1: What time do you have to be back?
Girl 2: Well...I told them I was taking my mom to get her car. *Laughs*
Girl 1 and 3: Laughing
Girl2: If I'm late I'm late. I don't care.
Girl 1: Yeah...
Girl 2: That's what I love about being Salary instead of Hourly. I can work whatever and get paid the same amount every time.
All 3 girls: Laughing

Can anyone else guess how long she'll keep her job?
