Bad Dog

I really think Red has some issues.  She's got her problem with her nose and her anxiety.  Now she won't even go into her crate after I walk her in the morning.  She runs straight back into the bedroom and hides under the bed.  This has just recently started, probably about the same time she stopped wanting to eat with a cage door closed.

This morning was definitely a chore to get her into her crate.  She would not get out from under the bed and she would start to growl at me!  This is completely unacceptable to me, but the hubster is a coddler and an enabler, so he told me to leave her alone.  I may be the worst dog owner, but I said "F@#$# that".  She's a dog and she should behave and there is no reason to start acting like a spoiled child.  She needs to get into her crate like she always did and not change the routine to her whims.  You wouldn't do that with a child would you.  I was so angry and upset.  It didn't help that I had decided to sleep an extra 30 minutes this morning and did not feel like going into work.

I tried bribing her with treats and going outside (which worked for about 30 seconds and when she realized it was a trick, she quickly darted back under the bad).  She probably heard something false or threatening in my voice.  Is it bad to think that you hope that one day she would just run away and never come back?  Yes, it is, but I'm human and that's how I felt today.

I feel a tickle...

in my throat.  Which means I am getting sick.  It's the hubster's fault.  He probably got it when he was standing out in the cold last Saturday morning for his silly racing event.  He's been feeling terrible since Monday and I felt this tickle last night.  I'm going to be so mad if I get sick.

Danishes and more

My diet has gone to shit lately.  With all the lacrosse games I'm doing, I'm lucky to get home by 10 pm.  I leave straight from work and I have to eat snacks throughout the day to make sure I'm not hungry in the middle of the game.  And then once the game is over, I find myself stopping to get fast food and totally pigging out because I haven't had any real food since 11 am.
Anyway, this weekend was not good to my scale.  I ate way too much for the hubster's belated birthday dinner at Top and had too much to drink.  After that, I had margarita's and mexican food with my reffing buddies.  Same thing, was starving and overate.
To start things off this week, we had an all hands meeting this morning where they had some breakfast foods to snack on.  So I had half a blueberry muffin and a cheese danish in addition to the banana and the protein bar I ate for breakfast.  To make things worse, I now have this on my desk:


Yes, another cheese danish and an APPLE one too.  My games tonight were cancelled tonight too, so if I eat these, it'll be like double calories because I won't burn any tonight.  Hmmm, perhaps it's finally time to hit the gym that I haven't been to in a month.  Things have got to get better.

=(

I lost my water bottle this weekend.  It makes me sad.  I was at OSU for the Big Ten club playday and I left it there.  I've had this since 2004 which is a long time!  I got it my last year at UCSD for some award that I can't remember for lacrosse.  It used to have some photobooth pictures of me, Lynn, and Daphne, but I removed it because the tape holding it was peeling.  I hadn't seen this color combination in Nalgene bottles and I think that's what makes me most sad.  I hope whoever picked you up is going to give you a good home

I've had to replace it with the Nalgene I bought the hubster a while ago.  It hadn't been used in a while since the hubster likes to drink out of plastic water bottles.  It's not nearly as pretty as mine, but it'll do.  I do have another one which is even older than my green one, but it's magenta with a red cap.

Do you know what love is?

Love is not killing your husband when...

• he wakes you up at 2:00 am to ask you to borrow your car to race in some silly autocross event because he's missing an adapter for his car, knowing full well it's supposed to rain tomorrow and you'll be driving a car with non functioning windshield wipers.
• he asks you to pick up a package at USPS, you remind him to fill out the slip, but he fills it out incorrectly.
• he doesn't Rainex the window so that you can see while driving in the rain in a car with non functioning windshield wipers.
• he has to get up early at 6am and he asks you do walk the dogs when he gets up even though it's your day to sleep in
