Down to the wire
Although I had given some thought to doing a bit of the raking and yard work on Saturday, Saturday turned out to be extremely windy and very cold. So, of course, all of the work was left to Sunday. Before our slaves.. I mean guests... arrived, I prepped dinner stuff - sliced onions, chopped onions, etc. I wanted to have everything pretty much ( Read more... ) -
GBDS
We'd been having problems walking Samus on a leash because she had developed a habit of trying to bite the leash/your hand and jump on you while walking - and that's when she wasn't trying to pull ahead of you, attempting to dislocate your shoulder. Although frustrating, Glen and I were dealing with it, but the awfulness of it became truly ( Read more... ) -
You mean I have to do this every time?
Glen's about to take Samus for a walk. He gets her attention, picks up her leash, and walks to the door. He calls her to him. She takes two steps toward him and stops. She's still ten feet away. He calls her again. Nothing. "You've got to be more exciting," I tell him. He calls her again. Nothing. He does a little dance. She watches the ( Read more... ) -
Half baked
Since I started working half-time, I seem to have a whole lot more time for baking. I made pumpkin squares over the weekend. They are seasonal, easy, and a big hit. Although the recipe is stolen from my mother, I'm not sure where she found it originally.

I think I'll try defying gravity
This week has been long and stressful. Samus' spaying was Monday which I'm sure was much more stressful for me than anyone else, but she stayed overnight at the vet's and I was able to pick her up Tuesday. She was much more out of it than I would have expected on Tuesday. Among other things, she pulled away from me when I attempted to pet her, ( Read more... ) -
Hello, my name is...
I posted last night in response (finally) to a meme I was tagged with a few weeks ago. However, due to a link I put in it, I felt it necessary to lock the post to friends-only. So, if you're not seeing it and you are an LJ friend, log in. And if you're not an LJ user but read my blog anyway and want to see it, let me know and I'll email it to ( Read more... ) -
Goods and bads
Now that I'm only halftime at the Hospital, I've been trying to arrange my schedule so that I get Fridays at home. This past Friday, Glen also ended up staying home, so we essentially had ourselves a Saturday. This was good because our weekend was destined to be one apart.
On Friday AM, I baked chocolate-chip cherry scones and made another batch ( Read more... ) -

Problem-solving
We've been having problems with our Sonos system for about a week. Zones that show up on one controller don't show up on another controller, and you can see the zones drop from one controller and show up somewhere else instead. Very frustrating. And, trying to re-add them to a controller would fail. Both Glen and I had spent some time trying to ( Read more... )
