Booties

Now for those of you with dirty minds I'm not speaking of booties that people have etc...I'm talking about those little things that you can stick on feet. Specificly Sadies feet.
It's supposed to drop below zero this weekend and I didn't want Sadie's paws to freeze to my porch so I went out and bought her some booties. It was major drama. I find a set for about 14 bucks...there are only two booties in the package so I bought two packages. I get home and find the that there are actually four booties in the package that one bootie is cleverly tucked inside another. Now I have one package to many. I proceed to put them on Sadie. She is compliant, but she gives me a look like she was saying "What the Hell are you doing to me?" So I take her outside...watching her walk in the booties is hillarious, but two of them fall off. I take her back inside and put them back on and she proceeds to sit under the table and look at me like I am torturing her by making her wear these things.
Any way I figure that I have to bring one set back so I might as well bring them both back and get her the better set. Maybe it will fit better and she won't through any. They are $10.00 more than the total cost of both the other sets. 4 little dog booties for $39.99....can you believe that? They do fit better though. Just to paint a picture of what she looks like when she is walking...imagine putting tape on the paws of a cat...it's kind of like that but add to it...she steps high and wide every time she takes a step.

On another note:
I know at some point I have discussed sex and food. I thought I would mention that for men...hunger overides sex drive.
I also remember discussing how men would probably be more happy to eat a pizza off a woman than whip cream...This led me to another thought: I was thinking one day about how much I like it when women wear vanilla scented/flavored perfume...(Personally I think it would be awesome if it was flavored as well because if you are on intimate terms with her you get the best of both worlds) Anyway, I think that they should make some more scents...like: cold beer to be worn on hot days, pizza for around meal time, the list could go on and on but in essence should contain all the flavors and smells, of not only the commonly excepted errotic foods/flavors, but also the more general foods that any man would call his favorite...
Ladies who are trying to get a man could think of it more like this...you are good looking one way of attacting a guy, wear make up which in essence is to make you appear turned on/furtile is a second way, great personality a third way...here it is now you smell and taste like our favorite food...woo hoooo....now instead of using only one or two ways to get us you have an extra way...ask any guy...the more things you are doing at once to achieve an objective...the more likely you are to achieve that objective...
Disclaimer: I'm in no way purposing that women should view men as objects or a prize to be won. Women either for that matter.

The Differences:
In OK you can not pour water on your winshield to make the frost go away...it only makes it worse.
In OK you have to make your faucettes drip and open cabinet doors that are near the pipes because your water might freeze in your pipes...I have learned this doesn't mean to open all the cabinets and turn all your faucets all the way on even though that wasn't specified in the letter from the apartment complex.

Sadies Corner:
Jesse bought me a leather jacket. I look soooooooo gooooooood in it. He also bought these stupid little things for my paws. He makes me wear them...I don't like wearing them, but to make matters worse he just laughs at me everytime I move. I'm getting use to them, but when he's not around he puts them up so I can't chew them. Man if I could just get ahold of those things for a few minutes...

Why you should do things the way mom did them:
So I'm making sloppy joes the other night...My beef is already cooked. So I figure I'll save time by preheating the pan for the sauce. Needless to say the sauce hit the pan and exploded...my kitchen is now red. I was right it was ready to serve much faster than if I had put the sauce in the pan then turned on the stove, but was that extra speed worth it...I don't think so specificly because it will probably take me longer to clean up the mess than the time I saved doing it that way anyway.

Call for help:
I'm a guy...I like food...and I can cook, but I don't have recipes or instructions on how to make anything. Please email me your recipes and instructions...I'm getting sick and tired of eating froozen food. Also keep in mind that I am single, so if your recipe serves four...I will be eating it for that many days.

Quit smoking:
Well it is day five. Over the past five days I have smoked 40 ciggarettes. Normally by this time it would have been 100. I have succesfully cut my consumption down by 60%. I feel that I'm accomplishing my goal. By the way...I'm using the patch which is cheaper than a pack a day habbit. My first goal is to not smoke anything...I'm giving myself two weeks to do that...then another six weeks of the patch step one with no smokes...and stay smoke free for the two weeks of step two and three and then the rest of my life.
My cravings have been few and light...most difficult times is when bored...when others smoke while I'm having a craving.
Benefits: I'm already starting to feel better, obviously my risk for cancer will go down, good breath...don't smell like smoke...things are starting to taste and smell better...
#1 biggest benefit so far. I have been waking up in the mornings and my mouth still tastes like tooth paste from the night before.

I'll try and write more soon...as always I enjoy my readers comments.

Woe is me....

Well, I'mmmmm back!!! I have a new old computer now, but it is much better than my last old computer. Better than it was before it crashed anyway.
Let me give you a brief update on all that has happened since the last time we talked.
The holidays have come and gone. My parents came up for Christmas and it was great to see them again. The night before they left they said "by the way we bought a house out here" The close at the end of this month so keep them in your prayers and keep your fingers crossed.

I decided to quit smoking yesterday. It's good because my mom made a deal with me that if I quit smoking she would go on a diet. Both of us will be much healthier. So yesterday I went for 14 hours before I finally caved and bought a pack of smokes. Then I smoked 11. That's still pretty good up till yesterday I was a pack a day smoker. Today...Day 2 it's been 12 hours and I've only had two smokes. This is what I figure I will do. Previously as soon as I bought a pack I would quit quitting. This time I'm trying to take the attitude to do the best I can. If I smoke one or even 20 that I should just keep trying to quit. So far it hasn't been that bad. I've had a few cravings that just kept going and going. That is why I bought a pack yesterday. I read an article when I was 25 about how long it takes for all the effects of smoking to totally leave you. I think I figured out that by the time I was 53 it will be like I have never smoked. Hopefully a good diet and great work out will cut that time down.

I'm currently buying a truck from my friend. It's a good little truck. It needs some work done. My plan is that once it is running well that I will go ahead and replace my clutch in my car and then let my parents use it once they move here. That way they will have two vehicles. That also gives me a back up if something happens to the truck.

Sadie is doing well. I need to take her to the vet to get her caught up on her shots. The biggest thing with her is I have to decide if I'm going to breed her. I don't think it's going to happen though. I don't want to breed her in an apartment. I'm not willing to have her stay somewhere without me and I don't think I will be able to buy a house anytime soon. She just turned 3 which really means I should breed her this year. I either need to breed her, or have her spayed. I'm trying to hold out because I'd really like her to have her own litter of puppies. Decissions...decissions...

I'll write more later. Once I figure out the html for the right side of the templet look for my daily quit smoking updates it will include how much I smoked each day and how many hours I went without any smokes. I would highly recommend to all you smokers out there to try and quit with me. It's a filthy habbit, I've always believed that I was just to lazy to try and beat the addiction. It also just gets more expensive every year...it's highway robbery I tell ya...
Any way any emails of encouragement would be much appreciated. If you would like to jump on the band waggon let me know...give me updates of your progress and I'll post it in my blog as well.

Tell next time, which might even be tonight...cya
