Seriously? 4 months? Really? Well, ya can't rush these things, I guess. Lucky hasn't lost any weight.. he's gained a pound, actually. Was gonna give up on the diet, but decided to try one more time. I chatted with one of the owners, and decided to upgrade him to 'medium', and cut out 1/2 of the rice. The only improvement, is that he smells good. If he doesn't start loosing weight, he'll be twice the size he was when we found him - and that's not good!

I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!

I'm suprised I even remember how to do this! Facebook is evil & takes up too much of my time. And I don't even farm!

Well, I am starting Lucky on Dinovite tonight. His progress will be kept track of on here, whether anyone reads it or not.. lol.

Current weight: 16.5 lbs
Activity level: Normal
Shedding level: Code orange

On Friday, I will be starting him slowly on a raw diet. Been doing alot of research, and I never knew dogs could, or even should, eat raw meat. Can't seem to get over the fact his recipe calls for ground eggshells, but I'll grind them up real good.

Well, that's all for today, as I really need to pack a bit of crap up that's been sitting around.

Well, hello there!

Long time, no post! I've just got done going through dozens of posts.. just refreshing my memory, and editing things for.. content. :) Wendy (Shannon's sister) made me realize how long I've neglected this & my flickr page. So I think I'm gonna get back into it. Gotta get to bed, as I work the cooler tomorrow & I start an hour early, so I'll just quickly update.

Worked all day making this palm tree for a wedding cake topper. I was thrilled with it at first, then decided it wasn't as good as it could be. So I'm fixing that, too. The whole cake topper needs to be done OMFG.. by the middle of next week!!! Oh jesus! *breathe in, breathe out* Repeat. This is for a wedding on a cruise, and maybe I don't wanna know how many people will be seeing this. This is a true challenge for me. But maybe it'll get me some business? One thing at a time..!

In other news... hmm, let's see...
Tim, unfortunately, doesn't work at Surplus anymore. :( Big HUGE ordeal that changed more lives than he could ever imagine. People are coming & going at a pretty good clip at work. Don't even get me started.

No news on the Mike Front.. either #1 or #2.. all is the same. Lucky is fine. (So are the Mike's.) Anyhoo's - I got a yudu (personal screen printer) for xmas, and Christian has some work for me. Shannon, her sister Wendy & I had a yudu 'party' last Saturday & we tried to tackle the beast. Shannon has one, too. It didn't go as planned, but Shannon sent me the pattern I designed, and it will go smoother the next time.

Well, I *really* need to go to bed, it's almost midnight! Will send pics of my work in progress sometime soon, I hope. Just gonna concentrate on getting it done, for now. Plus a friend from work wants a lion pen, and I gotta make another monkey pen. Will send pics of those soon. I know, I know... you've heard THAT before! Night, kids...

Morning, Everyone. Well, both of you..

Today's been pretty tough. Yesterday (the 25th) was one year since Charlie passed away. I believe he was contacting me at work while I was on register. The screen kept blurring & getting fuzzy, like when you have sattelite tv & a storm is coming. No other registers were doing that. It's hard to press the 'food' button while it's moving. When I realized what I think was happening, I just smiled to myself & continued on. A few people asked me was what wrong throughout the day, and I told them I didn't feel good. After I got home, I sent Tim a messege through Facebook explaining that it wasn't him or anyone else at work that had me upset all day. He said he figured something was wrong because I wasn't acting like myself, so he let it go. I did push my ass up against his to move him outta my way in the afternoon, but that was my only contact with him all day. I have off tomorrow, and he has off Thursday. So I told him to wear something for Halloween on Friday. Will it be the Devil costume I gave him? Probly not. Seeing as how the women aren't even allowed to wear dresses, I doubt they'd see the humor in his She Devil skirt outfit. He sent me pictures of him in it that I'll treasure forever... lol But I work Saturday & he doesn't - so we'll see if he comes in wearing it then..

What a TEASE!! ARGH!!! LOL!!

I've been all-a-flutter for hours... lol. This involves Mike #2, that lives down the road. I was walking up our ramp, and I hear this wolf whistle. I knew he was standing on the road talking to my uncle, facing away from me, so I didn't say anything to him, as I didn't want to interupt. But when I heard the whistle, I stopped immediately and slowly turned around, smiling. He was standing there, now turned to face me, smiling himself. "Hiiiiii, Mike..." and.. I'm still smiling. I'm also wondering if he still has a girlfriend. :^)

Good Evening!

Sorry about the font size of that last post. I tried to change it, but it didn't take. :(

Today should have been Monday, by the way it started out. I forgot I needed gas, so I didn't leave as early as I should have. When I finally got to the gas station, I got out & pushed the 'Here' button. It didn't work. Frustrated, I went 2 pumps down. It worked. After I swiped my card & was waiting for it to be approved, I reached down to open the gas flap. It wasn't there. It was on the OTHER SIDE OF THE CAR! MF'er!!! Since it was pretty much empty (both the parking lot and my tank) and my card was just approved, I got back in & very quickly turned my car around. Whew! Close one! So I grabbed the nozzle & as soon as I pulled the trigger inside the dry tank, I see that I grabbed the PREMIUM!! JESUS H. CHRIST!!! Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, I immediately stopped, and started another transaction. I can only imagine the laughter of the employee's inside, but I refused to turn & look. After finally filling up, I was on my way to work. Not 3 seconds after I got out of the parking lot, I found myself directly behind 2 big rigs at the red light. Only 1 mile from my house, and 16 miles from work, they - for some reason - decided to go 15mph UNDER the speed limit almost the entire way. They turned off only a few miles from work. Suprisingly, I was only 3 minutes late. And I'm usually 10 minutes early.

Tomorrow is food stamp day, and I'm in the cooler. Better there, than on register on this most hellish of days. I swear to god, I think these people use banana's to fuel their cars, as fast as they are gone through on f.s. day. It's truely mind boggling.

So, how was *your* day???
