Reading other blogs…

I like to read other people’s blogs and lately Chris has been tossing me links to some she finds funny or interesting. I don’t normally link to all the funny or interesting blogs, because that’s her job lol. This guy’s explanation of blogging, however… Just go read it Irregularly Periodic Ruminations – and I LOVE the name of the blog by the way!

As for my ramblings of the day … My aunt quit her job in December. She’d been working something like 75 hours a week for Kmart as an associate manager at one of the Kentucky locations. I told her ANY job that required xanax just to work there, wasn’t worth it! But since she quit, she has been looking for a new job so if anyone knows of a great marketing/advertising job toss me a link! In the meantime she’s been writing a book about what it was like to grow up with a father who had PTSD and was misdiagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic for 50 years. I hope she’ll have the opportunity to finish it before she gets caught up in the corporate world again but I also know she needs to provide for those two kids and pay the bills

I shouldn’t have skipped coffee immediately after waking up. I got swindled by my dog. Rotten little shih tzu! One of these days I’m going to buy her a shirt that says that Anyway, I skipped coffee as my first-thing this morning and was sitting here chatting on messenger with Chris. I hear Hayleigh making some noises then she runs over to me, does her cute little “I gotta pee” murble-growl and twisty dance. So I even ask her “it’s early, you have to pee already??” Again with the twisty dance, I’ll have to get that on video one of these days, it’s adorable! But… she lied! On the way out the door she almost tripped me and she headed straight for the snow in the corner of the porch. She played in the snow a couple of minutes then ran around the yard full speed once, only stopping twice to sniff around, then went back to the door to go in. She LOVES snow and leaves! She loves to find piles of dry leaves during the fall and run and jump in them. They’re a mess to get out of her hair, but… oh well. She’s been so covered with snowballs before that I have to wrap her in a blanket and use the hair dryer to melt her so it doesn’t hurt her skin but you should see the fun she has in snow!

As for the rest of us, I just had a cup of coffee so I’m not having to erase as many typos now. Jeff’s watching some anime show on youtube, Patrick’s working and able to hobble without crutches again today and Brittany’s getting ready to go to the grocery store with me.
