If you only knew how much time this vain little creature spends grooming himself. We put him in his play area and dude will sit there for ten minutes bathing before exploring anything. He might move a couple inches one way or another and then OOPS must wash head again. Look, a piece of food OOPS must clean toes again. Bright shiny object OOPS must clean belly again.
Maybe you should try the furminator. Rocket had a treatment done yesterday and holy shit. Granted he's a golden retriever and not a hamster.
I fear the Furminator would eat MFP and then we'd be sad.
This whole only the mid-section of the country gets sn ow is some bullshit. This is Colorado for crying out loud. Where is my snow day?!??! Where is my 18 inches?!?!?! :::insert dirty joke here:::
if it's going to be this cold it should at least fucking snow. I'm so over the cold.
I hate my job so so much. Like kind of want to go postal on my boss. We have a new VP and should hopefully have a new director soon and I hope they make some changes because my boss and his boss make me want to hurt someone. I'm daydreaming that I can cut back my hours and work part time, but I'm not sure if that can actually happen or not.

NOOO how dare you?! I want to run in the sun, without 30 layers and gloves!

pixy0stix I got a new reusable kcup yesterday, all because of you! i bought one years ago and it didn't work very well so I eventually gave up. But I was inspired and got a different kind at target. It works great!
DH wrecked his truck in December and was on the wait list at the body shop for two months. He finally dropped it off two weeks ago. He called this am to check on it and it's JUST SITTING THERE!!! No work done yet. When they opened it up, they discovered and additional $400 in damage and the insurance company hasn't responded in over a week. Are you fucking kidding me?!? We've been sharing a car for two weeks - in snow and ice and freezing temps. No one bothered to call us, and the insurance company is being a dick over four hundred fucking dollars?!? RAGE.
I emailed a tattoo artist a week ago and haven't gotten a response back. From poking around it looks like email is his preferred form of communication. Do I wait longer? Send another email? Call the shop? I don't want to piss him off with being pushy if he's just busy.

I'd say call the shop. Maybe your email went to junk! Or, I will call if you don't want to.

I would email again. Last time my stylist didn't respond it was b/c she had the flu and was still trudging through her email after she got well.

Also, not to stereotype people or anything...but artists aren't known with being on the spot with the timely communications. Maybe tattoo artists are different though. All that sterilization and stuff. Lord knows my SIL is pretty damn anal.
Know what drives me insane? When I get a meeting invite with no agenda. And then we get to the meeting and the host is like "I'm going to forward you this email from yesterday and we'll go thru it."
Why couldn't you attach the email to the invite, at a minimum? So I can review and prepare?

This makes me wild.
My related complaint is that sometimes, I will ask my boss days in advance of a meeting if there's anything he wants me to do to help him prepare or what he needs from me, and he says no, that he is all set and is planning to run it. Then 10 minutes before it starts, he wants to the answers to 8 million questions ASAP so he can be ready. Or worse, tells me to run it.
It's March and this is the worst snow storm we've had all year.
We are out of coffee creamer. I do this thing where, in an effort to be healthier, I don't buy coffee creamer because it's so bad. And then I run out and I'm like .
And my husband is working from home and made a second pot of coffee and all I want to do on a snowy day is curl up with hot, sweet coffee. He was like, "we have milk!" "You can walk to CVS!" (That is about a mile away.)
And then I remembered I had Cool Whip. I have not had Cool Whip in the house in about a decade but I bought it last week for some reason. IT WORKS.
I just found my registration sticker when I cleaned out the office. It expired in July. I didn't even realize it wasn't on. One year I lost it completely (or never got it? I think I had moved) and by the time I realized it, I was afraid they wouldn't believe me and accuse me of selling it. So I drove with an old sticker all year. Never stopped once.
I will go put that sticker on my car this morning because saying this out loud guarantees someone will notice.
Oh, the CA DMV actually has a form if you lost or never received your tags.
I paid for mine one year, and never got my new sticker. 4-5 months later I got a ticket when I was parked on the street, even though CA totally took my fees/cashed my check. So I had to mail in the "never received" form and I finally got my sticker.
I will also confess that I've had my renewal notice since January and just submitted it yesterday. I have until the end of March, I think, to renew. It was only $36 in PA, too.

Last weekend we just got rid of a toilet and some renovation garbage from next to our house - so we went from this...
to this...
And then when I got home yesterday, there are these two huge, plywood, 4-ft tall bike jumps in our driveway and to the side of the house where the junk had been (plus two huge hockey-type goals). So now thanks to DH's scrounging, we look like this again...
and our kids were stoked and started riding them right away.*
*It isn't this bad and we do live next door to a pump track, but it's still probably an eyesore and funny that I feel like the neighborhood junk shop.
I've made it through 9 episodes of Scandal so far this week since I've been binging from the couch while trying to get healthy again. I wish I were as smart as Olivia.

my tags fell off or were stolen but we have to go into the DMV to get new ones. I've been tagless for too long

See, I didn't even check it out, my guilty conscience got the best of me. I am the worst at sending it in late though. Always the last day before the due date.
I ordered a bunch of stuff online and now none of it is going to get here until next week because of the stupid snow. STUPID SNOW.
although I have enjoyed working from the couch with my work buddy (now in watch dog mode rather than slug mode).
(Ignore the clutter in the background)
But now I have to shovel out my car to go retrieve the child. IT'S ONLY A MILE DOWN THE ROAD, NOBODY WORRY.
i'd just walk, but I know none of the sidewalks will be clear by now, and this is too much snow to just push the stroller through. If I'd bothered to assemble the jogger for my bike trailer I could take that. But I haven't. So I can't.

Thank goodness for my elephant memory, I found when I posted it on here. Otherwise, I'd have to look through my boxes for the cookbook. You're worth it though, if I hadn't found it on here .
2 quarts of water
8 bags black eat (I used Earl Grey)
1/2 cup sugar (can go up to 3/4 according to recipe)
16 whole cloves
16 whole cardamom seeds, pods removed (Optional - Did not use)
5 cinnamon sticks
8 slices fresh ginger
1 cup milk
1. Combine water, tea bags, sugar, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon sticks, and ginger in crockpot. Cover and cook on High 2 to 2.5 hours.
2. Strain mixture, discard solids (Tea can be covered and refrigerated up to 3 days)
3. Stir in milk just before serving. Serve warm or chilled.
*I just realized I did not do this right, and didn't see number three and added the milk to step number 1. Oh well, it was still tasty.
thank you muchly!! It was whole cardamom and cloves that I ordered so yay!
