Hi guys, I am having one hell of a day today. Crikey.<\/p>\n

Last night Scott and I finished the Pens game from last Friday and they won.\u00a0 Hooray!\u00a0 Then at 9:30ish I headed up to bed to read.\u00a0 Not even 10:30 and I was ready for some sleepy sleep.\u00a0 Good thing too because Rocky decided to get up at 5am today, depriving me of one more glorious hour of sleep.<\/p>\n

I was not a happy camper this morning.\u00a0 After I took care of him, he thought he was going back up to bed.\u00a0 Oh no, kiddo.\u00a0 You get mama up then we are all up and staying up<\/em>.\u00a0 After explaining that, he realized that his bed in the office next to mom was just fine and hey let’s just sleep there for a bit.\u00a0 The space heater was on and I wrapped him all up in his fleece blankies so he was snug like a bug.<\/p>\n

I read blogs for a bit and checked email.\u00a0 Finally I stopped getting Facebook notices! Last night some chick named Amanda was trying to sign up for Facebook but kept entering in the wrong email address.\u00a0 She entered one of mine instead.\u00a0 So most of the evening I kept getting FB confirmation emails.\u00a0 I’m sorry to sound grouchy but seriously, you can’t get your own email right after multiple tries? Lame.\u00a0 Either she figured it out or stopped trying because I haven’t gotten anymore.\u00a0 And then, at this same address, I kept getting emails from this kid who wrote all his emails in caps and used exclamation marks like it was his job.\u00a0 I finally wrote him and told him he was writing to the wrong person and had the wrong email.\u00a0 He wrote back that HE WAS SO VERY VERY SORRY!!!!<\/p>\n

And then today he writes again and expresses his love and how much he MISSES ME!!!! *faceplant*\u00a0 Some people are not meant to have computer access.\u00a0 I labeled him as spam and moved on.<\/p>\n

I got some coffee and breakfast because I eventually caught some hungry.\u00a0 And the coffee was finally at a nice steaming hot level.<\/p>\n

\"breakfast

breakfast time <\/p><\/div>\n

I had 2% fage with some bear naked banana nut.\u00a0 I just remembered I could have had some cranberries too!\u00a0 Doh!\u00a0 I am determined to turn this Friday around guys!\u00a0 Today is supposed to be another warm day.\u00a0 Yesterday we got up to 39F; that is summertime compared to what we were having.\u00a0 And today is supposed to also be warm, however, we are supposed to get rain.\u00a0 And I have a feeling we will see rain because when I was out with Rocky it felt like rain was on the way.<\/p>\n

Location, Location, Location!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you guys so much for your feedback on our future move!\u00a0 We pretty much know it’s going to be west we just don’t know where yet.\u00a0 For as long as I can remember that is always where I wanted to go.\u00a0 I have this weird sort of pull that is telling me I need to go there.\u00a0 Scott, being an Air Force Brat, has lived out that way.\u00a0 He has not lived in Colorado or the PacWest but he also has this need to go back west.\u00a0 It’s something that we share and something that sort of bonded us when we started dating and talking about our “dreams”.\u00a0 I realize how sappy that sounds but you do honestly talk about dreams and what you want out of your future when you start getting serious with someone.\u00a0 It happens.<\/p>\n

I would love to visit the NE sometime but that’s about as far as that goes.\u00a0 I’ve lived in NC already, although not as far west as Asheville.\u00a0 We were in Cary and then moved to Raleigh for a short time.<\/p>\n

I dunno about California guys, I need some good winter-like weather because I thrive in it.\u00a0 I’m not sure if I could handle 70degree days in Dec and Jan. :p<\/p>\n

Our plan for moving, whenever it gets to that point and we find a place to go (although not looking forward to that drive!) is to rent.\u00a0 I am not buying a house again until I find my home<\/em> and can find the perfect location.\u00a0 We both know what we want and the #1 thing is land.\u00a0 I do not want to see or hear neighbors or a busy street.\u00a0 When I look out my windows, door, or sitting on my porch I want to see mountains and trees.\u00a0 I want a big long winding driveway that leads up to my house. And rinky-dink truck with a plow so Scott can plow the driveway if needed. :p\u00a0 But we have to find home<\/em> because we have yet to find that location.<\/p>\n

We’ve been happy enough here in Ohio and it’s been one of the better places, for us, that we have lived.\u00a0 But it’s not permanent and we realize this.\u00a0 Both of us are getting itchy to move.\u00a0 Plus we would love a place that is also more tech-friendly!\u00a0 People of the same mind, so to speak.\u00a0 Lots to think about!<\/p>\n

More eats!<\/p>\n

Finally it was time for me to think about heading out for a run.\u00a0 I was debating it only because yesterday was so warm and today is already warm, but the snow isn’t all melted.\u00a0 Instead it is all just a bunch of mush.\u00a0 Some streets don’t have snow on them but the side streets are just packed down snow because they didn’t get plowed.\u00a0 Running on that might not be fun.\u00a0 I finally decided that if I was going to run, I was cleaning the house first because I knew that I was not going to want to clean it when I got back home.\u00a0 I whipped around the house cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms.\u00a0 Then I had 1\/2 a spooky s’mores Zbar because I was hungry.<\/p>\n

\"<3\"

<3<\/p><\/div>\n

And wanted a little fuel before my run.\u00a0 I changed and since it was so warm today, I only needed one pair of pants and my hoodie.\u00a0 I was out and about and immediately I knew that I did not have it in me for a run.\u00a0 Today was probably the worst run I’ve had.\u00a0 My body just did not want to go plus I was tired and cranky.\u00a0 I made myself do at least 2.5 miles because if I’m out I should do something.\u00a0 And 2.5 is better than sitting on my butt so I’m okay with the miles just not the run overall.<\/p>\n

\"CS

CS<\/abbr> time <\/p><\/div>\n

Once home I had some CS<\/abbr> and then talked to Scott for a minute before heading up to shower.\u00a0 While I was talking to him I smelled something really awful.\u00a0 I looked at Rocky knowing it was him.\u00a0 When he was in the office with me earlier this morning, I petted him quickly before I went up to wake Scott.\u00a0 When I went over to pet him, uh it smelled!\u00a0 But I didn’t think twice about it because I just figured he farted and it was trapped in the blanket with him.\u00a0 Well when I smelled him later I knew that he had something smelly on him.<\/p>\n

Before my shower, I quickly rubbed him down with a washcloth + doggie shampoo, then rinsed him off thinking this should be fine.\u00a0 But afterwards Scott and I still smelled this smell.\u00a0 I can’t even explain it but it’s gross.\u00a0 Like rotten almost.\u00a0 After my shower I went to check Rocky who was laying on our bed and I still smelled it.\u00a0 I rolled him over and on his belly was this black stuff which was the culprit.\u00a0 I grabbed the washcloth and started wiping and this stuff wasn’t coming off.\u00a0 I put some shampoo on it and wiped again and it only came off a little but not much at all.\u00a0 Since this is his belly area, the fur is minimal down there, so this stuff is on his skin.<\/p>\n

I could not get it off.\u00a0 Quick internet search said baby oil or rubbing alcohol to help remove sticky residue from skin.\u00a0 Well we don’t have baby oil and I don’t even know where I could get some babies so I could make some.\u00a0 I did apply some vaseline to see if that would help.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Okay moving on, more searching said peanut butter because of the oil; it helps break down sticky stuff.\u00a0 I decided to cut out the middle man and went straight to peanut oil.\u00a0 I rubbed that on him and let it sit.\u00a0 Now I don’t have rubbing alcohol but I have alcohol.\u00a0 Hi Vodka, why don’t you come help us out.<\/p>\n

Alternating between peanut oil and vodka is what my day consisted of.\u00a0 And this stupid stuff is not coming off.\u00a0 ARGH!\u00a0 It stinks which means I’m smelling it constantly.\u00a0 And it also means Rocky can’t get on the furniture or his beds.\u00a0 I’m at a loss.\u00a0 I have no idea what to do at this point or how to get this stuff off his skin.\u00a0 And I have no idea what it is or how he got it.\u00a0 He’s never out of our sight, not even when he’s outside for a potty run.\u00a0 We are out there with him.<\/p>\n

A. DAY.<\/p>\n

Somewhere in there I did have lunch.\u00a0 As I was making lunch I snacked on some raisins because I was hungry.\u00a0 Lunch was a sammie.<\/p>\n

\"His

His & Hers <\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve seen so many veggie subs around the blogsphere I needed to have one.<\/p>\n

\"lunchie

lunchie <\/p><\/div>\n

I cut both of the subs into thirds and I had 1\/3 for lunch.\u00a0 My sub had:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Spinach<\/li>\n
  • Romaine<\/li>\n
  • Tomatoes<\/li>\n
  • Cucumbers<\/li>\n
  • Green pepper<\/li>\n
  • Red Onion<\/li>\n
  • Banana peppers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    And veganaise, which is okay.\u00a0 I also had some BBQ baked chips and in the middle is one huge orange and a clem which I had several pieces of.<\/p>\n

    Now I am off to try and figure out what to do about my dog.\u00a0 MEH.<\/p>\n

    I will turn this day around!\u00a0 If you need me I’ll be in the closet with the vodka and peanut oil.\u00a0 Knock three times so I know it’s you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
