I mostly slept in till 8, wondering when I woke up why the dog wasn’t barking yet. Turns out she barked around 3, and \*\*FCD \*\*took her out. Since then she’s been crashed out on our bedroom floor. Weird little dog… The only thing I know for sure that will happen today is the aquarium water change. We’ll figure out the rest as we go along. I started knitting a sweater for daughter - actually started it twice. The first time was in wool, but when I hit 3 bad spots in a row (3 of the 4 plies were split) I decided I wasn’t going to risk making the while thing if there were problems in the other skeins. This is yarn that was given to me and I don’t know how old it is or how it was stored - now I fear the worst. But I have plenty of the other yarn that I’ve decided to use and I think she’ll like the rather random approach I’m taking with it. Three colors, striped, but not in a regular pattern. Some will be narrow, some wide, and there will be no symmetry. It’ll drive \*\*FCD \*\*crazy, but I think my daughter will like it. I know she’ll like the colors since she picked them for another project. Hope I can get it done for Christmas. Time for breakfast - gotta see if my sweetie wants to go out or if we’ll raid the pantry. Happy Sunday!! ---

Morning! I am a redhead now. I finally gave in and decided to cover my grey hair (I am only 34 fercryinoutloud!) so I when I go my haircut yesterday I went a couple of shades darker than my regular colour with lots of red undertones in there. It looks great. I am kinda pale skinned and I have green eyes so I look very celtic. **mr ems** loves it! This combined with my slutty pink coloured toenails from yesterday’s pedicure and I had a total girly day. Loved it - I feel so much better and a bit more like myself after the past two months since surgery. Ron White was pretty funny last night. **mr ems** greatly appreciated his early Christmas present. I am now jsut waiting on sleepy head to wake up and take me to breakfast as I am starvink! ---

I had a do nothing day yesterday. Seriously, I read my Kindle all day long and my husband cooked both an appetizer AND dinner. I didn’t have to help at all. He was cooking recipes out of the Paula Deen cookbook he ordered. Anyway, he did well and the best part was that I didn’t have to any of the cooking or even the shopping for the ingredients. Today, I will have to redeem myself and do something productive. ---

Back from breakfast - we’re about to load the truck for a trip to the convenience center. Admit it - you wish you had my life… 😃 ---

I did tons of errands yesterday. Funny what a difference getting enough air makes! You see, my doctor doesn’t think I have asthma. Luckily for me, the asthma clinic disagrees and has put me back on Qvar, which is basically a miracle drug as far as I’m concerned. I have more energy, I can move without stopping to catch my breath for hours instead of minutes, and I sleep easier at night. Also, I can breathe. Today is stay at home and laze around the house day. ---

Today is a homework and clay day…just like pretty much every other day. I’m working on 100 little yellow and brown paw print magnets for my trainer. I also HAVE to do my history homework before 11:30 tonight. Speaking of history, I finally got my midterm grade. I got full credit!!! Of course I also got a 0 on the quiz from last week. Apparently I turned stupid as I was submitting it. I remember typing the response in word but I suspect that when I finished typing it, I forgot to actually copy and past it into the quiz window before submitting. Oops. :smack: My mom gave me a ring yesterday. She bought it from a pawn shop years ago because it reminded her of me. It has 3 fairly large garnets (my birthstone) on it. She never wore it and just held on to it for years until she had the opportunity to give it to me. ---

Our trash and recycling has gone to the convenience center. The old computers and associated stuff has gone to a friend who does computer stuff. I also gave him a FORTRAN book that I found when I was cleaning up - he got a laugh out of it. He’s a former coworker, so I was getting some of the dirt on the goings-on. I am a bit pissed to find out that they had a going -away for the kid who I sat next to and no one invited me. ☹ Except for making supper, our chores for the day are done. Shortly, I will be assuming the knit position. I foresee a chill day. My birthstone is garnet also! I have several rings and necklaces, but since I pretty much never wear jewelry, I’m not sure what I’ll do with them all. They’re probably not worth much if I was to sell them. Anyway, I think I need a beverage and a recliner… ---

Are you an Aquarius or a Capricorn? I’m Capricorn (13). My sister is Aquarius (31). We’re big on 3-1 combinations in my family. My other sister is also 13 and my mom and dad are 6 and 7 (13). ---

1/23, so Aquarius, not that it means anything to me… I’m more amused that it’s 1/23/54 - had I been born 9 years earlier… well, my mom would have been 11, and that would have been creepy. 😉 ---

Breakfasted (really late but we ate it!) then a run to Sam’s and **mr ems** is now vacuum sealing a whole bunch of chicken breasts and carving a a whole thing of meat into rib-eye steaks. I will be going to Target in a bit then the rest of the day will be doing nothing but being lazy. Good weekend this weekend. I am headed to Arkansas tomorrow. Really looking forward to that drive. In other news I got the paperwork from the title company in CA for me to get notarised tomorrow then we should be closing on the Short Sale on Wednesday! I will no longer be a homeowner! Yay! ---
