Hi Mom!
So happy it's Thursday! Because? That means tomorrow is Friday, and let me tell you internets, it couldn't come any sooner. That's not to say that this week was a bad one, just busy, and a bit on the crazy side, but all good.
I have been inundated with updates for a website that I created for a friend of mine. It started off really small and simple. They have since, opened up a store, and it's become a massive undertaking of Herculean proportions. Ok, that's a bit of an overkill but I was trying to get a point across, which at the moment escapes me, because I am scatterbrained that way. Oh wait! I remember now. The point is, as her business grows, so does the website and it's become blatantly obvious that I'm going to have to pull out my "Web Design for Dummies" book, and study it. Really hard. Yeah..let's see how I can fit that in my schedule.
Note: Microsoft Office Publisher is fine for a one or two page website, but when you want to add a massive amount of graphics and links, and other pages, things get a little too dicey. And slow. And cumbersome.
I have a dentist appointment on Monday. It's just for cleaning but I suspect I have some more teeth that have cracked and I'm a total mess. I have been waking up at about 2:00 in the morning and not going back to sleep until around 4:00 which really bites the monkey's rump when you figure that my alarm goes of at 4:30. Lord, I'm so tired. And scared. Why don't they just put me to sleep and pull all of my teeth already? For those of you who don't make it a habit to hang on my every word (like my children), I have a completely irrational fear of dentists.
This evening I came home to a portion of the gutter laying on the garbage can, and various pieces lying on the ground next to it. Normally one would just sigh, get the ladder, and put everything back up but NO! It was pouring down rain. I let the fish out into the pond caused by the missing gutter that was not redirecting the water away from our house. They decided to make a party of it, extended their happy hour, and when last seen, were line dancing to the latest Dixie Chicks CD (Wide Open Spaces.....).
As we were eating dinner, and when the rain was at its heaviest, all of us suddenly looked up from our plates, and shouted "DOGS!" With everything that was going on, we had forgotten that we had not let the dogs inside. I got some old towels, and we each took a dog (Chickie was at dance) naively thinking we could dry them off before they caused too much damage. Dad had Tiny, and she pretty much cooperated, but OH MY! She feels so GOOD! And she loves to rub up against you when you are drying her OFF! And then she does a full body shake, which includes her right hind leg. If you are not quick enough, you will become saturated and walk around for the rest of the evening smelling like wet dog.
The other two are more like escape artists. On heroine. Or after three cups of extremely strong coffee. Either one works. If you make the mistake of letting go of their squirmy little bodies you will spend the next fifteen minutes chasing them down and screaming things like "BRUISER, GET OFF OF THE DINING ROOM TABLE YOU IDIOT!!!" The only reason that Meelie was able to catch Ralph was because he somehow got up into the bathroom sink, and he couldn't figure out how to get back out.
Have a great evening everyone, and if I don’t see you before, have a fantastic weekend as well.

Good luck with the dental work. I hate going to the dentist.
We have a staging area for the dog. An enlcosed little entry way where he can dry off. If he is really bad he waits it out in the garage.
Of course we don't have any rain or mud yet because will be sub zero for a few more months at least.
WIND CHILL ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM CST THIS AFTERNOON
Today...Mostly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of light snow. Areas of blowing snow in the afternoon. Highs zero to 5 below. Brisk. Northwest winds 15 to 20 mph. Wind chill readings 20 below to 30 below zero.
Yanno, I think I will just stay inside.
Have a wonderful day!

Haha!!I Love that bit about your dogs. I have one and Murphy is exactly the same. He loves a full body rub but goodness the amount of water his fur can hold. The smell of wet dog isn't something very pleasant for too long, is it? LOl!!
Here from Michele!! *waves* have a good weekend!!

You know, of course, that the term "So Happy It's Thursday" is copyrighted. By me.
Heh.

I'm with you on that "not bad, just busy" kind of week. Unfortunately, the weekend looks to be busy as well, what with a Super Bowl and all. The bright side? No dentists in my future.

it's so strange the amount of people who have fears of dentists. I have never felt that way. I am sure it will turn out all right. How did your dog get into the bathroom sink? hahah

Hang on to your memories and write about them. When you are looking back over 70 years sometimes it's not so easy:)
