i got (e:lauren) excited about the dachshunds i think... hehe
I have such a constant set of vacations that I am due to go on throughout the summer that it will be difficult to bring Ralphy with us. Can't leave old Ralphy at home alone like the cats.
I am finding that if there is a dachshund in a shelter, it is so much of a mix with other breeds that it doesn't even look like a doxie anymore. Or its old and cranky. I mean I feel so guilty leaving those little guys there in the shelter, but I don't want to wait forever for the right one with rescue needs to come along... How mean and horrible does that sound?
(E:Lauren) and I have discussed the possibility of being a foster home for puppies lateron in life. I think it will be a wonderful experience when we get to that point where we will have a yard and whatnot.
what could be better than a yard full of dog poo, right?
I have to go to work...

easter puppy!Category: randomo
Ok guys first of all I've missed (e:matthew)'s birthday.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTHEW! Sorry I missed it!
I dunno what else i missed as I don't have much time to read posts... I know you are all forgiving..
(e:lauren) and I colored easter eggs last night. And by easter eggs I mean my fingers. So now i have a red finger, a blue finger and a green finger. how fun is that?
I also bought her a pot of some tulips. I have high hopes for these suckers... they will survive!
I have finally worn her down in terms of letting me have a dog. So I've decided that I'm going to have a Dachshund.
Her stipulations for said dog: Black and tan, Shorthair, Must cost around $100 or less.
We also think it must be young so it will be good with cats, but I guess that is something that is flexible. I know that when we have a larger place and maybe a yard we may do the whole 'rescued animal' thing... but right now i just want my Dachshund.
Soooo... if anyone has any clues on where I can find my dog... lemme know!!!

so weird.
my brother had a mini long haired dachshund (they named him Dick. yes, my brother thought that was funny. *rolls eyes*). he was a great dog. sweet soul.
my parents have a dog named Ralph. and they do indeed call him Ralphie (with an ie, although i don't know why not the y). but he is a cocker poodle mix.

haha, I'm with you jbeatty. My dogs in my lifetime have been named Luke, Jack, Alice, and Gus. Maybe my next dog will be Steve. Or John.
I do like ralphy though.
And Felly I'm not sure exactly where (physically) the buff small breed rescue is, but I sent you an email with some links. (In case you didn't get it, I just pulled a few that looked cute off of petfinder.com)
But fyi, while I was looking I found that it will prob be hard to fine a purebred for $100. Even most of the rescues wanted $200 or so adoption fee. And I would beware of "free puppies", too.

(e:jenks) - we were totally looking at rescue dogs also... where is this small dog rescue place?
(e:james)... we HAD a pet wolverine once, but the cats just totaly kicked his ass and we felt bad for him so we gave him up for adoption.
(e:jbeatty)... HIS NAME WILL BE RALPHy. I think i decided that about a year and ahalf ago.

I totally need a dog. You have to name it something cool though. A dog needs a name like Steve or Henry. This Max and Spot shit needs to go, its way too over used.

Now if only you could work her over a little more and finally get a pet wolverine.
Enjoy puppyhood.

hey!
You should totally rescue anyway- there's a small dog rescue in buffalo that might have dachshunds. And as far as being good with cats- an adult dog's temperment will be more established than a puppy's- i.e. you will have a better idea of how the dog will be with cats. For a puppy you won't know right away. Just a thought.
I'll see if I can find any rescue-able dachshunds. :)

prophets and revelryCategory: randomo
Okay after hearing all the yelling and commotion yesterday I have to say that next year i will definetely be out enjoying st. paddy's day...
I spent the day catching up on chores and painting. Which was nice. in fact i think i spent about 4 hours painting.
Put aside my book on aliens and multidimensions finally as my brain hurt and slowed to a drizzle every time i attempted to make sense of it.
I finally picked up my book on the readings of "Edgar Cayce" the crazy prophet of the early 1900s. Its interesting to read some of his predictions (Nebraska will be the west coast by 2100) but the thing I really have to push through is that he was extremely religious and since he lived around the turn of the century I have to pick through it to understand. He speaks as if he were reading directly from a Bible, if the Bible discussed the bombing of pearl harbor.
Ah well.. hopefully this will go better than the last book. I do think I should be reading more...
okay off for some stretching and, yes... work.

Oh Cayce. Some of the craziest people I have known were big Cayce fans. Not crazy as in believing in his teachings. I mean crazy as in screaming at shadows and having a thousand alien abduction/government conspiracy stories.

cheating with thai foodCategory: good eats
i'm taking baby steps here...
we have been getting the 'thai kitchen' stuff from wegmans.
Thai kitchen
and decided it was time to try and make it myself.
but not really since I just bought the premade peanut sauce and some rice noodles. kind of lame cop out but whatever...
but looking at peanut sauce recipes - it doesn't look too difficult... so I guess i'll try that at some point...
but really i have a strong desire to make my own spinach pasta... it actually looks kind of easy... we will see...

mind powerMy sales have been down lately at work... not a good thing when I made such a great impression for my first six months on the job... so today on my way into work... i got excited for how much money i was going to make. I really got excited and beleived that i was going to put the store over $1000 GP for the day (a rare occurance for the store I was going to)
lo and behold? $1,300 GP. My portion being over $900. It was a damn fine day. Now I just need to keep with it.
Now some of you might say that 'positive thinking' is corny and coincidental and blah blah blah... but i have to say that 9 times out of 10... when i decide something is going to happen and i really believe it and feel the emotions of how great that thing is - it happens. i mean on typical stuff not like winning the lottery and whatnot.
I used to do this a lot for parking spaces. Yes i know.... parking spaces. I worked in a mall and expecially during the holidays it was HELL. But then Imagine going to the Palisades Mall (huge mall just north of NYC) on the week before christmas and deciding that I would have a spot within 5 spaces of the handycap parking and getting the 5th spot exactly. On two separate occasions. And in the mall that I worked at it would happen all the time...
So anyway, point of the story... I am focusing on this sort of additude as much as I possibly can. Getting my sales through the roof.... Its going to be great...
Has anyone seen the secret?

not neccessarily... we have a profit chart that changes on a weekly basis.. based upon the cost of the phone, the plan that we sell the phone on and that lets us know what our gross profit will be.... right now the top phones are the Voyager - which is the fanciest phone, but followed by the 385 - which isn't even a megapixel camera. So I don't need convince people to pay more for a phone just so I make more money - which is great for my morals...
