Five things that thrilled me to pieces today:
1.) Still listening to Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver... and learned more about planting and harvesting potatoes and garlic than I ever thought possible. Now... gotta get me some seed taters FAST! If you even the least bit interest in organic gardening, you've GOT to read or listen to this book.
2.) In response to the news that I'm getting laid off from SMR, one of my bosses keeps calling me an 'endangered species.' It makes me feel special.
3.) We had Shane's Rib Shack for dinner... and all I can say is, whoever dreamed up topping a bbq sandwich with coleslaw should be president.
4.) Miss Priss had a perfect check up at the Dr. today. She hasn't had to go to the Dr. in 17 months, and in that time she's managed to grow FIVE inches and gain FIFTEEN pounds. Well goodness... I knew she'd grown a little, but dang!
5.) Shady the Pointer actually went out in the rain and pottied all by herself, then returned to the house without me stepping foot outside. This is a HUGE thrill because just two weeks ago we couldn't let her off of her leash without fearing an all out 'Run Forest run' moment, resulting in our losing her forever. However with the help of her shiny new shock collar (we only have to use the 'beep' and don't actually shock her) she has learned to stay in the yard or by our side. It's GLORIOUS I tell you. Because if there's one thing worse than standing on the other end of a five foot leash from a grown ass dog taking a poop, it's standing on the other end of a five foot leash from a grown ass dog taking a poop IN THE RAIN.
Now see? Wasn't this a thrilling kind of day?
What thrilled YOU today?
Hm I got to watch a cool doc on my IPOD (just discovered Netflix instant)
