this and that

“i planned on getting the face originally but then i had a dream the Irish flag was behind it. and you can’t fuck with dreams.”

Me and Pepe just went on a long walk, and we were hot when we came back. I decided to have a bomb pop (you know, the red, white and blue popsicles). I gave Pepe the end, the blue part. His mouth and nose are blue now and this is funny. Too bad my camera is packed.

We are moving next friday.

?-April 23, 2007

Muffin passed away last night after being sickly for several weeks. I had a little ceremony for her and we buried her in the backyard.

I rescued Muffin from an animal shelter in 2006. She had been neglected, as she was bought as a christmas present for a child who did not like her, and was dropped off, covered in poop. She led a good life though with us, and loved to run laps around her cage. She also really loved mealworms and crickets. It was fun to watch her run around and catch them. She also loved to play in the grass and run around and play in the sunshine.

She will forever be in our hearts.

(muffin after her first bath ever…probably in her life)

Meet this douche:

He sent me this message, along with a friend request.

“I have just been released from jail. I did 20 months for bank robbery, non-violent, with a note. I have been celibate all that time and am ready to explode about hundred times. I have an intense foot fetish. I am also very oral and slightly submissive. You’re the boss.

Would you like to meet for coffee or something?

Worshipfully,
Dave”

I am now a licensed nurse in the state of Tennessee AND Georgia.

I had to do this dumb huge application process to get a Georgia license. It cost $90 and I even had to include a passport photo.

Im getting implants on Monday at 11am.

PEPE IS BEING FEATURED ON STUFFONMYMUTT.COM

they love him! just read those comments!

” Awwww - Look at those lovely eyes!”

” I vote this the best SOMM pic yet… close second is the one with the carrots as teeth!”

” i agree this is the best pic yet so cute”

” soo cute!!”

I win for having the most awesomest dog ever.

So Adam made me go to the doctor.

They did a quick-strep test and it was negative. I was like “whew” and whatnot. Then the doctor said that those tests arent all that reliable and dont detect all strains or something and that he thought I had it anyways. Also, he says I have a sinus infection.

Also, he says I am contagious for 48 hours and that I cant work until Sunday. This means I am missing two days of work.

Word of Advice: If youre ever sick and want to get cold medicine, do not get Tylenol cold Liquid, even if the pharmacist tells you to. It is worse than drinking like Nyquil. I dont even know how to describe the taste. Its horrible though. And a bit minty, but not good minty. Like..Satan Minty.

See…cool burst. The cool part means minty, and the burst part refers to how your taste buds feel when they are assaulted by this crap.

but on a side note…it kinda cleared up all the snot running out of my nose

Im still hacking up too much phlegm though. I’ll take pictures if you want.

So this is why you shouldnt go to work sick.

THREE people at work were sick yesterday. 2 of them had classic cold symptoms with congestion, sore throat, etc, and one just had a really bad sore throat. The one with the sore throat became increasingly sick and sore throated over the evening. They called the lab at work and asked if they could send down a swab of her throat. They did, and they said she was positive for Strep throat. One of the other people sent one down too, and they didnt have it.

I dont know who I got sick from, but I am totally congested and my throat is awful. It started with my throat when I woke up after working. I took my temperature, and it was 99.5. Then last night I went to bed again cuz I was feeling yucky (I work nightshift, remember…I just realized this sounds confusing. I went to sleep Wednesday morning after working Tuesday night. Then usually I’d be up Wednesday night after sleeping all day, but I went to bed again).

Now I woke up at 4:17 am and I am full of snot, and my throat feels swollen like I cant breathe. My temperature was too hard to take, cuz I couldnt keep my mouth shut and breathe through my nose long enough for either of my thermometers, but it stopped at 99.9. I went to Walgreens and I felt so hot I couldnt even wear a jacket. I feel awful. I tried taking the medication that the pharmacist recommended, but it tasted so bad it made me twitch about and I spilled some on the bed.
So please, if you are sick, stay in your room alone with nobody to infect.

And in better news, I have taken up the hobby of Shrinky Dinks. I decided to try it after being inspired by a livejournal community for Shrinky Dink jewelry. A lot of the people in that journal are super good at it. I got the supplies from AC Moore for like 50% off cuz Adam’s mom works there now. Im still learning of course, but I made a super sweet heart necklace from a diagram in one of my nursing textbooks, and a super cute Peeps Bunny. Also I made a flying W weezer charm for the dogs new spiked collar. He looks so darling in that collar.

He is goth puppy

Pepe in a duck costume

I bought Pepe a duck costume lol

Blurry Pepe looking like he’s tarding out while he pees

PEPE WILL STEAL YOUR SOUL (look, both ears up now!!)

AND hedgehog salad!

Ok background: Part 1: Pepe is confined to the kitchen, as he is not potty trained yet, and also he is teething and chews everything up. At night, he is put in his crate for potty training (being confined overnight helps them learn to hold their bladder). I keep the crate in the kitchen with him when not in use so its out of the way during the day. Anyways, most dogs hate being in their crate. For some odd reason though, Pepe goes inside to take naps and sometimes just sits in there for no reason. Part 2: the cat and dog antagonize each other. I bought the cat a bed a while ago and it was too small. I kept it in storage in case I got another pet. When I got Pepe, it fit him perfectly, so I put it in the kitchen for him. The cat would lay in it, and Pepe would get upset because its HIS bed. Eventually we put her bed in there too so they could each have one.
Ok here is the cool part: Today the cat decided to piss off the dog by getting inside his crate. Pepe was so mad that he barked at her several times. The cat resisted. Then Pepe started nipping at her face, trying to get her to get out of his crate. She resisted yet again. This was the last straw! Pepe grabbed Keykey by the cheek with his teeth and dragged that ho out of his crate. IT WAS AMAZING

the video for placebo-taste in men is the hottest thing ive ever seen

youre so sassy.

Pepe had his last set of puppy shots today, and a bordatella booster down his nose.

He is big now…he weighed 5 pounds 13 ounces. The vet said he should be neutered in two months. He isnt gonna be happy. Not that any dog is when their nuts are chopped off. Anywho, Adam says the dog is fat, so I asked the vet and he said that the dog was within normal weight range for his height, and the reason he is heavier is because he is tall. Also, his ears are tremendous. They are the same length as his entire head.
After the vet, we went to PETCO. Everybody goes nuts over Pepe. I even had some foreign lady say “What a beautiful dog!”. Someone else commented “What an alert looking little thing”. I suppose thats a compliment.

I pretty much dont like anything.

Pepe’s ears both stand up now!

He has an appointment at 4:45 today to get his last set of puppy shots. He will not be pleased. He’s big now too…we’ll see just how much he weighs when they weigh him before his shots.

I think he’s full grown now also.

A girl at work, Lauren, who is in the photo below from that party I didnt get invited to, has a chihuahua slightly bigger than Pepe, named Franklin. She has given me some of his old clothes for Pepe. She just found out Franklin has luxating patellas, or in easier to understand terms, his kneecaps dont stay in place. They dislocate and slide to the side when he walks or runs. The vet told her its going to cost in between $2000-4000 to surgically fix it. I think that sounds ridiculous. She said thats more than her boob job cost!

So menshealth.com, which Im sure is a wonderful website if I cared to research it, posted an article which got linked on fark.com. It is entitled “50 Things She Wishes You Knew”. Ive seen similar ones floating around on email and myspace, but this one pisses me off since it is on a website that is supposed to be about men’s health.

Now I fully agree that it is good for a man’s health to please (or at least appease) women. But this Lisa Jones person is off.

This is why.

“Real men drive stick shift.”
Problem: So all men that drive automatics are homosexual or weak in some way? They are plastic or fake? They cannot drive whatever they feel like, which is what real people do? I dont get it. Stick shifts are not macho or cool or whatever. Are the chicks that drive them real men also?

“”Fine” is never an appropriate response when I ask you how I look.”
Problem: If you asked your female friend how you look and she said fine, I can see why a chick would be pissed. However, men arent wired to sit there and pick out what is awesome about how you look and what isnt. If you asked a man how you look, and he said how your shirt didnt quite match the color of your skirt, that your hair was messed up in the back, or that you look kinda fat in your pants, 1. You’d be pissed, and 2. You’d probably think he’s gay for thinking that much into your fashion. Your boyfriend thinks you look great unless youre wearing something stupid. Shut up.

“Only rock stars are allowed to wear leather pants.”
Problem: This makes no sense, thats the problem. If you were looking for that man in the statement above who drives a stick shift, I dont think you have to worry about them wearing leather pants. Also, what about fags??

“When I compare my flabby tummy to a kangaroo pouch, say nothing.”
Problem: Women fishing for compliments. “Oh boyfriend I am so fat” “No, youre not.” “hehe thank you”. Stop it womens. If your boyfriend thought you were gross, he wouldnt date you SO SHUT UP AND STOP WHINING AND GO PICK UP A LANE BRYANT CATALOG IF YOU THINK YOURE FAT

“You look hot in hooded clothing items.”
Problem: wtf? Unabomber what???

“If I slept over, you owe me breakfast.”
Problem: Why is it such a chore for women to have sex? Men dont owe you anything for “letting” them, as it seems, have sex with you. You think youre fat anyways, go without breakfast for once, porky.

“I want to be Madonna.”
Problem:

No thanks.

“I get turned on simply seeing that I have an e-mail from you.”
Problem: No, you dont.

Ok like I have a problem with pretty much all of them, but Im not going to go into it any further.

Seriously ladies. Come on.
