I wanna be in another place....

like not at work. Maybe still sleeping cuddling with my pup and spending a whole day with Keys, my sick kitty, force feeding her smelly wet food. She's eaten a bit, but still doesn't look too good. I have a vet appt after work, so we'll see what happens. I'm pretty much ready for the worst. Well lets get on with it...

• Pet Stores with Puppies. NO Thanks. This email was in my inbox this morning from the ASPCA and I can't agree more. Please people-do NOT buy animals from pet stores. Most of the time these animals come from puppy mills, are inbred and have MANY health issues. Don't put yourself through that. 
• speaking of animals...Miss Bella is becoming a little bossy. Time for retraining and this should be fun. Actually i had a good walk last night with her-I didn't give her any praise. Just walked, looked forward and kept going even when she tried to sniff. She's become so reactive, looking around, wanting to sniff this and that. At first I thought it was because she had been home bound because of her surgeries and i let her sniff around. But now its time to toughen up. I can't wait until i can get her to walk without going coocoo that there's another dog walking on the other side of the street or bark because some other dog barked. She used to be great, and i know she has it in her. So retrain, retrain, retrain. ooh look what i found on idlewildkennels reading this and taking it to heart. Can't wait!
• woot woot free lunch today! i haven't had meat in a couple of days sooooo HOWDY HO cheeseburger!!! good thing too, because i'm a little light headed and that stupid headache is back.
•  Headaches...what the hell are they? and what does each ache on your temple, the back of your head, behind your eyes, what do they mean? what are they telling you???? everything you need to know about headaches, migraines can be found on this site-headaches.org. I linked stuff about migraines. But you can find a lot of info on there. Personally my migraines have ceased after taking my depakote so that's awesome. I think i have some allergy headache which is annoying. 
• One of my favorite things to collect (well sort of, I only have 4 or 5) are Barbies...Let's look at some cool ones, shall we?

oh my i have to have a 40's Barbie!!!!

? i dunno????

• ofcourse I stumble on to this blog which is pretty cool, buyonmagazine.com mentioned Hello Kitty Zombies. How cool is that?!!! PS. above is Goddess of the Galaxy Barbie..

• Forgive me for being so naughty and not sharing some salad fingers in a while....

And ahoy one of the best bands in the world...

have a great day!!!!

Shnarf.

Maybe this week I will have titles that don't make any sense.

• I am a disturbed woman. Why do i think of dinner in the middle of the day? My friends/neighbors and I have been abusing the BBQ this week since our homes are toooooo hot. Turning on the oven would mean depriving our lungs of tepid air and any type of movement causes sweat to drip from our foreheads and make our meals soggy, so outside in the cooler air we sit and complain about the heat inside our homes as we conjure up yumminess on the BBQ.  Yesterday I made some chicken in a zesty BBQ sauce Herb marinade with stuffed 4cheese rice a roni bell peppers-twas good. Today...I'm not so sure. We have more chicken. We have more potatoes....red peppers.....one garlic clove......let me get back to you......something is bubbling in my brain.
• Well the weather seems to be cooler than yesterday...so maybe i'll be able to cook inside today....either way it's chicken tonight.
• Listening to the Offspring right now. Reminds me of the summer after I graduated....
  
• I heard a radio commercial the other day that announced back to school deals! No i'm not looking for back to school savings, I am shocked that it's almost that time. I remember September being the back to school month, now kids go back in August. wow. holy wow.
• My hands are freezing. This place is an icebox. I know i've written that before, but it needs to be repeated.
•  oh hello salad fingers....

• here's something i don't like. 

• May I ask why people do this???? It's annoying. what's the point of wearing sandals if you're going to wear socks? Take the socks off.  rad or bad? you've got to be kidding me. Also if you look at the pictures, they're not flip flops. and they're not gym socks either....roll eyes here.

• What I would rather be doing right now? warming my hands and my toes by a roaring fire in a cabin in the woods. Maybe i should just wear some socks with my flip flops. 
• Ok I think i have figured out dinner. Yummy curry deliciousness. Think potatoes, curry, chicken, onions and rice. I think that's what I'll do. 
• I'm thinking about getting Sunset magazine since it's 16 bucks a year for 12 issues...check out sunset magazine

• inspiration! Super heroes have superheroes Atomic betty and the badrap clan do it again. BSL (breed specific legislation, should be no biggy, but read the post to see what these potential owners of a pitbull did to help their landlord figure out a way to help them get Atomic Betty. just love these dogs. 
• how is it that kid's sites are blocked at work???? i typed in My little pony. it's blocked. grrowl. 

hmm, that's an awesome picture.
well folks that's all for today! have a great one and stay safe!

It's an N.W.A morning.

Thank you Eazy E for serenading me this morning with "Cruisin in my 64 Impala". My ipod is on shuffle...Can you tell?

• I stubbed my pinky toe yesterday morning. It hurts. According to yahoo answers I should really be home and not walking on it. hmmm, do you think the boss will buy it?????

• i think for my next pet i want the above: a salamander...look at those little hands?? thank you Marshall University for the picture and click on the link to learn a little more about these cute creatures.
• Ok the other day i posted a warm coleslaw salad recipe, well i mixed it up a little and it came out SUPER TASTY Instead of Cabbage, i substituted Penne Pasta. I added red and yellow peppers, shredded carrots, spinach and  some finely shredded Gouda cheese from Whole Foods and ofcourse an applewood bacon. I tossed in the warm salad dressing and shredded a thicker Gouda on top. IT WAS SO TASTY. Try the dressing with anything. Let me know what you think! The recipe link is on Cool it Now.... entry. (edited to add that i used a whole box of penne pasta and made double the dressing recipe oh and i also had this warmed up for lunch today....delicious.)
• I do not like fruit on my pizza or burgers or rice...etc. ok? good.
• I hurt my back AGAIN this weekend. I really need to de-stress. I don't think my back has felt this amount of soreness often in years. grrr. 
• ok so i was looking at some of my blog subscriptions and there are alot of cool things out there I'd like to share, since I'm being a negative nancy and i want to whine about everything. So why not just give you guys and dolls something more interesting than me? lol. 

• i love myself some blueberry Scones and I saw this today and I immediately opened it. Larks Country Heart has wonderful recipes and I think i shared something about this blog last week, but I now want a scone and I'm getting irritated that no one here knows how to read my mind and get me damn scone. 

• you can find this beautiful recipe at inspiredbythemediterranean
• i sorta hate the bulletpoint thingies under the main bullet point.   
• i love 4theluvofwriting this chick is hilarious. 

there are more blogs, but since i keep getting distracted I figured I'd just put a couple up once in a while going forward.

• I also promised you salad fingers once a day...Let's just say once a week and you won't hate me and I won't feel too bad. 
• are you single and feel like you need a boyfriend? Well check out www.getboyfriends.com. It's a game you play that sounds so much like real life that I don't think i even want to play. First off you have to make them happy so that they won't dump you. sigh. What are we teaching little girls? As an adult i can laught at it, but I seriously hope some lonely teenage girl isn't reading that website and taking it seriously. I may sign up just to see what it says. I wonder if he'll dump me right away???? i'll get back to you on this...(ooh research...i'll go undercover and see what i find out)
• My dog has to wear the CONE OF SHAME! how sad is that? My pup has what they call "happy tail" she wags and wags and doesn't care what she smacks her tail on. Unfortunately she cut it and now it's infected. She took off her bandage and cover twice yesterday. Last night we put on the cone and she started growling. This morning she caught a glimpse in the mirror and barked. Lucky for her it's not an all the time thing. I will take the cone off when i'm home. She's also pretty darn lucky i'm off thursday and Friday. 

 
 Ha, so i wrote a lot more than the norm. I hope you enjoyed it.

I also leave you with some music:

i don't like getting out of bed....

I could have slept another two hours. This weekend was beautiful and warm and I had a lot of fun. Hung out with a friend and laid out in the sun, all we needed was a couple of cabana boys and some frozen grapes and we would have been set. Sunday was a great afternoon with a dear friend and a dog walk, then the beach, then the BBQ and then hanging out with my partners mom. let's jump to the other shtuff...

• I think a trend that should NOT be worn in the summer are skinny jeans. I tried this a couple of weeks ago and even though our NorCal weather hasn't been too hot, my jeans felt like i was ripping an extra layer off my body. It's official in my book-skinny jeans are winter items. 
• hello makers of sunscreen products: can we please make a spray that goes on our scalp that doesn't make our hair either oily or very very strange feeling. i have this  red spot on top of my head that hurts today. If they have made something, can someone please tell me because I need it. I am definitely NOT a hat wearer. I sweat in the heat and hats will make it worse. 
• ugh. One way to get me tempted enough to spend money is when I see kitchen stuff. Ideeli has a bonjour sale-bake pans, french rolling pin, frothers....etc. sigh...close it close it!!
• I'm gonna share some pics....

These are my personal pics. The first is Gerry and I dancing. The second is Bella as a pup and Fievel, our cat, looking rather annoyed, third is Gerry and I about two years ago and the 4th is Misfit, our kitty when we first got him. I've got some old pics on this comp.

• hmmmm...Anyone catch Miss USA last night? a couple of things struck me as odd about Miss California....well she died her hair red for a character she was playing so she stuck with it because it suited her personality better AND she's not from California. According to the news after the pageant they said she had moved from New Jersey 2 months prior to entering the pageant...How does that work???? the media is going a bit looney about her geekiness. I have to say though. I sorta understand that part. I didn't get totally enthralled with the Tudors until I saw the show and then I wanted to learn more and now have about 7 books all about the queens of Henry the 8th AND the history of their lineage. You can't really knock her on that, shows that she learned something and she wants to learn more. I actually wanted Miss Tennessee to win. 
• For people who never watched Salad Fingers, I will share a video a day until i've played you each episode...

• Today, I will be listening to old songs, like Fleetwood Mac and Journey. I don't know why, but it feels comforting. 

I would like to thank my new readers. I really feel honored to have you read my blog. I know it may not make so much sense, but that's really the point. I hope you enjoyed today's post and that you have a wonderful last day of spring. I'll see you tomorrow.
chow chow.

oh i leave you with.
