My cat is sitting on the floor waiting for me to come do my morning stretches and exercises. He stretches next to me. And by stretches, I mean flopps his ass on my head.

I had a dream that I had my dachshund finally... and of course somehow that equated to my friend's bulldog humping my leg.

My fridge is empty. Well not too empty. Hummus, mushrooms and celery should make a delightful lunch for me today, shouldn't it?

dammit. the cat is like my own damn personal trainer. He is meowing at me and just inserted his claws into my leg. I guess that means its time for exercise. Bastard.

I broke my glasses yesterday. BOOOOO no vision on my health coverage. Or should i say BOOO me for not adding the vision part to my health coverage.

I gotta run to work early and stop off at walmart's vision center and just see if they will sell me some frames for my lenses. i did that last time from sear's optical center.

i'm not impressed with spending extra cabbage this close to FL.

Lets see... times comin for some fun!


Friday we are going to the Toronto Zoo. My aunt and cousin were going to come with us, but apparently not.

My parents are coming up to visit my grandparents that day as well. Haven't gotten to see them for a while, so Saturday after work I'm headin directly up to see them. Probably spend the night at my grams and come back sunday afternoon.

Lauren has about 200 scribbles on her calendar for the monday through thursday of that week - all those scribbles being final this due, rough this due, presentation this, etc. In other words, don't talk to her or she may flip her lid.

The 24th is our 3 year anniversary. (3 years? that seems like such a short period of time, and yet neither of us have ever made it this long!) I feel like we've been together forever.

the 26th is the next Battle at Buffalo.

the 1st is Avenue Q at Sheas.

THe 2nd we somehow make it to the airport at 4 am and head to Florida.

WHEW~! what a busy time of year?

Oh and then when we get back we GET A PUPPY!!!

Sometimes it blows my mind that I quit smoking.

Today I held the cigarette of a coworker while he was with a customer. It wasn't lit or anything, but it felt very natural in my hand. I think about the act of smoking, and of course it came right back to the social thing. Smoking was always a social thing.

Weird. Somehow I quit cold turkey after like 10 years without any desire. Except when I am drunk.

Day OFF! I also have Friday and Sunday off.

Woke up at 10:30! Wow that is a great feelin- waking up late..

Chatting now with my brother whose Golden Retriever is in the middle of having puppies. He is doing the reporting while his wife is helping with the delivery. I was hoping that she would pop out a random dachshund for me, but I somehow don't see that happenin.

Snap Pea Crisps are so delicious, but something tells me that they are extremely bad for you.

My big plans for the day? carmelizing onions, roasting some garlic and making a big crazy pasta salad with it all. we will see how that works out... i have a feeling I may be getting a bit silly.

Watched Sweeney Todd last night. Wow gore. I knew it was (tim burton and all) but man.. Burning flesh is disturbing. I was also amused to see that three characters from the Harry Potter movies were in this movie. Bellatrix LeStrange, Peter Pettigrew and Severus Snape. I don't know their real names.

Anyway, I should be off to some cookin for my woman. She is soooo spoiled.
