You Know The Saying....

Ignorance is bliss? I find it to be very true. Foolish? Absolutely. But still true.

I Am Elated With Happiness

Hiya! So I got some emails today. And they made my day! They were from one of the facilitators of the Farm Beginnings program. One reminding us that our first class is on Saturday from 10-4pm and the other saying I got a $500 scholarship for the class :) :) I soooo can't wait for Saturday! It's gonna be the best Saturday ever. We're gonna learn lots and start making our business plan. You'll be sure to hear more about that after the class!

Another exciting thing: I quit my job! Kinda. I, in my opinion, gave my two weeks yesterday. Will likes me though and doesn't want me to leave so I don't think he's believeing in his head that I'm really going to be gone. He said he'd like to talk further after he 'addresses the issue'. Yeah.... no thanks. I don't need to be around everyone after that because they're all going to know it was me. Anyway, that's a huge, huge burden off my shoulders and I feel like I did the right thing. Go Tracie morals! :)

Last exciting thing for the moment..... Smiler knows how to sit! She was catching on last night and would sit everytime I told her to and then this morning she remembered! So we're going to work on it some more tonight so we know that she has it nailed down and then a little practice tomorrow morning so she can show her daddy her new trick when he comes home. I'm proud. My lil pup is growing up.


Now for that 'Song of The Day' thing. What else could I do but "Henry Cartwright's Produce Stand"?

I'm Alone and Bored Before Work.... Here's a Post

Hi again! It's me. Matt might come home tomorrow morning :) Maybe. He needs to nap though so he won't die on the way back. Especially if it's still snowing. Yeah, by the way, it's snowing. Did last night actually pretty bad; and now a few flurries. Lame lame lame. My car is not gonna like the hill.

So baby Charlie last night was so cute! He took a bottle from me without much problem which is good because apparently he doesn't take it from strangers well. He did throw a little temper tantrum for like ten minutes which I'm glad for because I wanted to see the steps they go through to calm him down. Overall he's a pretty happy baby and I think he thinks I'm a pretty cool girl so I think we will get along just fine. Oh! I haven't even told Matt yet, I'll have to remember to, they have sugar gliders!!!!! And a cute dog too. So I think this will be a great gig for me.

Now, kinda inspired by Cassie's latest post, I'm gonna share a song. And perhaps turn it into a kinda 'Song of The Day'. Though I will not be posting everyday because that's a lot of work. Anyway, here you go, Chris August's "Stranger". You'll be seeing another song from him in a few days.

Hello

Hello there. Just thought I'd maybe do a real live post instead of just a one or two sentence post that I seem to be good at these days. Today is icky. It's been raining all day and tonight it's supposed to turn into wet snow :( I don't know how I ended up here! I thought I was gonna move somewhere warmer someday.

Little Smi went to the vet today to get some booster shots. She did very well and didn't even cry when she got them. That is good because if she had cried I would have too. Now she's taking a nap next to me and I wish I could stay with her longer because the vet said to keep an eye on her for a few hours to make sure that she doesn't have any allergic reaction. I guess it's not common but can still happen. However, in half an hour I gotta go watch a cute five month old baby boy for a couple hours. And I'll probably continue to do so through November and possibly longer depending on his parents' schedules and if they can get into the daycare on-campus. I'm pretty excited though. It'll give me something to occupy the night and then I'll just have to worry about three more days without Matt here.

Mortgage stuff doesn't look too well at the moment which sucks.... but at least with that news I can quit my job and find another by the time my babysitting stint is possibly over in November. Gotta love real life. I just hope we can get outta this place by spring 'cause we have plans hinging on getting outta Lincoln Park. We'll see though. Too much money to have to spend lately. Blah blah blah.......

Sad Sad Sad

Matt might only come home for the weekend and have to go back up to International Falls for another week :(

I Miss My Husband

Matt just left for International Falls til probably Friday. I'm sad.

How To Train Your Dragon!!!!!!

Hello there! As my title may suggest, today is the day that How To Train Your Dragon is out on DVD. I think that it is vital for all beings to get this DVD as I find it important that we all know how to train the dragons that we all obviously have or will someday have.

Anyway, it's gonna be a good family movie night :) After we give Smi a bath of course, because puppies are ruthless.

Later!

Smiler!

So I got Smiler last Tuesday and we loooove her! She's super cute and soft and snuggley. But she's a punk. She's teething bad and likes to jump and try and bite Penny's face and ears and likes to bite Matt's chin. She does really well sleeping most of the night from like 10P to 6A. But after that you pretty much gotta get up or she'll scream forever. And yes, she screams, not whines.

Check out some pictures of her and Penn in the 'My Dogs' album or set or whatever it's called on my Flickr page. flickr.com/foggyacres

Puppy Day!

Today is puppy day!! I'm leaving in about a half an hour to drive the hour there and then I get her!!!!!! Can't wait :)

I'll put pictures up as soon as we're home and I have a computer to use. Yayyyy!
