\*\*Bunny \*\*- no sweat - Before I identify myself, I ask who’s calling and why. I’d simply tell them to send me a statement of what I allegedly owe, without giving them my address, of course. But it’s easier not to answer.

\*\*lieu \*\*- get a pug! Misery loves company, you know! 😃 OK, for reals - look into adopting an older animal if you want a dog - they’re usually house trained and mellow. Unless you get a dalmatian - they’re never mellow. But your gorgeous daughter deserves a doggeh!

Laundry is in, folded, and put away. My stuff from Think Geek arrived - yay! \*\*FCD \*\*should be home soon. It’s been a good day.

**{{{loo}}}** that’s tough news to find out. I say go for the doggeh. I like the idea of adoptin’ an older dawg unless you really want to raise a pup. Then again, ain’t nuttin’ much else like puppeh kisses!

Oh and howdy from da cave. Chili and cornbread for dindin. We’s in the need for some down home comfort foods.

Puppy breath is nasal ambrosia. Older dawgs have their personalities revealed, can insure they’re not barkers, etc. It’ll be a process… then we’ll suddenly have our hearts melted and know it’s the one.

It’s been a very long day. But now I am 1/8th of an inch taller and I have a sheet of foot-strengthening exercises to do.

My goal for this week is to get my hats done. I have three days to finish one hat and the three rows on the one that’s currently on the hook. I also have a feeling that my third female co-worker will want a hat too when she finds out the other two are getting one. She’ll have to pick the color, though, because I don’t know how to match redheads.

We’s fed. I just refilled the pellet hopper. \*\*FCD \*\*took Higgs out. Soon we’ll mellow the evening away. I’m thinking I might partake of some melatonin tonight. Or a toasted almond. Or maybe both?? 😃

Dindin is ingested. OYKW is stayin’ the night. YAY! However, I think a soak in the tub is more his object of desire than me. 😃

So maybe a little nonsectarian or Unitarian who will one day be a septuaginarian?

{{{ **Loo** }}}  
That kind of stuff is supposed to happen to people on the TV news, not to people you know.

Puppy breath is the best but it doesn’t last long.

Moving day has been changed from Firday to Saturday.

I am dying. My throat is so sore. I have never had anything like this. Can’t swallow so can’t sleep. I never knew how much one swallows while sleeping.

I will go back to the dr tomorrow if it’s not a whole lot better.

I just realized I used the wrong hook to make the two hats I’ve finished and they’re too small.

I imagine someone in your area is looking for donations of hats for some worthy cause.

One final exam down, three to go.

Can anyone explain to me why I’m enough of a masochist to be about to register for 17 credits next semester?

Um, what kind of herbicide have you been partaking , **flytrap**? 😃

**{{{lieu}}}**

**swampy** , I had chili and cornbread for lunch (well, a corn tortilla…you know, Mexican cornbread). Keeping the apartment heated tonight. 😛

Sending some virtual chicken soup and popsicles your way, **butters.**

Fixing to hit the studio to finish the sketches for an ugly sweater that my boss will have to wear for a contest. The winning department will have lunch next month at a local steakhouse. And the fun of making an ugly sweater for your boss. Bwuhahaha!

I don’t own any ugly sweaters. I saw an [ugly sweater suit](http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0234/5963/products/ProductPicFinalBlue_large.gif?v=1416272372) online the other day.

Got a really nice card in the mail today… 😉

Went to my former workplace today. Got a nice gift card for a local bookstore from my boss.

I heard a rumour online that my favourite comedian will be turning up at my former workplace on Saturday.

I’ve been working on music arrangements.

it’s ‘worms’, not ‘wormes’ unless you actually worked for William Shakespeare.😛

Good luck on the exams, **Nettie**!

rosie, I like those. Makes me want to sing “Oy! To The World!”😃
