Thoughts on the Day

  • There is a special place in hell for people who leave 1/8 of an inch of coffee in the bottom of the pot and then put it back on the burner.
  • There is never a mop around when you knock over an entire cup of coffee with cream and sugar onto a tile floor.
    • Paper towels just didn’t cut the mustard.
  • The Time of Non-Productivity has begun, as was foretold.
    • My co-workers began talking about the NCAA basketball tournament today.
  • Moonshine got fixed today.
    • The vet took a look at his teeth while he was knocked out, and decided that two of his baby teeth needed to be pulled.
    • Poor guy is sore on both ends.
    • Then again, he’s much calmer a few hours after general anesthesia.
    • He came home from the vet with doggie narcotics, but no cone of shame.
  • Driving a stick shift pickup with a 55 pound lab puppy who doesn’t like going for a drive is an adventure that few will experience.
  • Final preparations are underway to trade in both the minivan and Irish Woman’s car on her new car.
    • Next year or the year after it will be my turn.
  • You can keep your portable electronic doo-dads and candy filled to the brim with corn syrup. The best bribe I have at my disposal is a movie on the TV and popcorn.
  • Tonight’s bedtime book was one I bought for Girlie Bear and Little Bear when they were toddlers – The Tortoise and the Jackrabbit.
    • Girlie Bear read it to Boo, complete with voices and sound effects.
    • I guess that’s one I’m going to hang onto for the grandkids.

    Hopefully the pup doesn’t try to chew the shift knob off… Or decide to bounce window to window… And books are GOOD things!

      He perched himself on the console between the two seats and rested his head on my shoulder, for the most part. I need to get him a restraint so he stays in the passenger seat. He would have sat on my lap if I’d let him.
