Just in case anyone is curious, Holst is about 13 pounds (we went to the vet today), has fleas, and has an ear infection.  There's a possibility of other issues too, but we have to collect samples to figure it out.  Once he gets a bath, we can comb him out and take care of the fleas, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow!  A new adventure...

 So, Sean and I did get a dog this weekend.  He (Holst) has been with us for one full day, and so far he has had 5 accidents, only gone outside twice, ripped up some of our carpet because he didn't like being left alone, and scratched at a door for the same reason.  Let's just say that we have not been the happiest of campers.  But he is sweet and ( Read more... )

Ok.  Now I'm upset.  I just looked on the Bones website and it said an all new episode is coming Nov. 11.  What do I do for my Bones fix?  Oh well.  Since I'm home alone, I'll just have to make some popcorn for supper and watch America's Next Top Model.  I hope for Sean's sake I don't get into it, because he really doesn't like that show.

Ok, I'm bored, and these posts are slowing way down.  I guess I'll say whatever little thing I have on my mind ( Read more... )

So it ends up that Homecoming weekend is the same weekend that Sean has a paper due.  And this is a big one for him- a possibility of a Master's Thesis riding on this one.  We've been talking over possibilities, which none of them are happy possibilities ( Read more... )

I'm very excited about this weekend.  It starts off with work (if you consider Friday a weekend) which is amazing for this time of the school year.  1 1/2 days this week!   Then we're heading to Galesburg with a birthday cake, which is currently in the oven, then we head to go camping with family, some of whom I haven't seen in about a year.  Then ( Read more... )

Now that I only have subbing to keep me busy, with 2 choirs every Wednesday, and since subbing hasn't picked up yet, I have had a lot of free time.  Some of this went to choir prep, some went to socializing, but I did something very dangerous the other day.  Actually, 2 somethings.  I loaded the Sims with 4 expansion packs onto my computer, and I  ( Read more... )

I love the Writer's Block theme for today- "Have you ever gotten involved with a co-worker or classmate? How did it work out?"

Umm, yes and yes.  I think it worked out ok...

We now have drinkable water.  It is very exciting.  We got to run the dishwasher and the laundry machine!

I guess I should let you all know the excitement from Ames.  Let me start with this- I officially have one more week at the Circulation Dept at the library ( Read more... )
