Sorry, there will not be posts for a few days. My dog is really ill. She won't even drink dog food run through the blender and I had to hold her behind off the ground today so she could pee. Marcus is going to make a vet appointment for Friday. I wish I could say I had hope that this will turn out all right, but I don't. I doubt the next few days are going to be good ones, so I need to take a little break from this. It just isn't that important right now.

OMG, Marcus and I think we're on the verge of becoming yuppies. There we were, Sunday afternoon, sitting outside of Starbucks drinking Mocha Frappacinos and eating Chipotle burritos. ACK! Marcus claims there is a "secret mind-control ingredient" in Starbucks beverages used in their effort to take over the world. Hmmm. Actually, the funny thing was that Marcus had never had a Chipotle burrito before. Whenever I suggested eating there, he poo-pooed the idea. Turns out he thought it was a fancy restaurant. I may have him hooked on those like I got him hooked on Frappacinos. One day a couple of weeks ago, he was upset because the iced coffee drink machine at Diamond Shamrock was broken. I told him he should go to Starbucks and get a Frappacino. It's pretty much the same thing, just more expensive and BETTER. He thought they were the same as the ones in the bottle. I guess I've created a monster because he's pretty much addicted.

1. Do you have a car? If so, what kind of car is it?
Yes, I'm driving a 1995 Subaru Legacy. I LOVE THIS CAR! It's green (my favorite color), all wheel drive. The only thing that would make it better is if it was a stick instead of an automatic.

2. Do you drive very often?
Unfortunately, yes. I live 50 miles from town and have to go there everyday. I put approximately 1000 miles on the old car every week.

3. What's your dream car?
I want a Hummer more than anything (and get your minds out of the gutter!). Subaru is also coming out with a sport truck called a Baja here in September that is slightly reminiscent of the old Brats they used to produce. That WILL be my next vehicle.

4. Have you ever received a ticket?
Yes, several. My record is clean now, though. It's hard to be a pizza driver and not receive tickets. The only ticket I've had that I disagreed with was the one that I got for an accident I was in.

5. Have you ever been in an accident?
Unfortunatley, a couple of them. They both occurred while I had my brown Nissan 4x4 truck. While I don't consider them to be my fault, technically (according to the police) one was. Both were the result of people running red lights. The one that was considered to be my fault was I was making a left turn and no witnesses stuck around (rush hour traffic on a Friday night) to back up my claim that they guy ran the light.

Man, I've been sooooo busy. Trying to deal with work, school, and a sick dog is kicking my ass. I've got two different classes going on right now: one is logo design and the other is goal attainment. I figured that meant that there wouldn't be as much to do in the design class. Ha! Same amount of work, just less class time to do it. I got a sum total of four hours of sleep Wednesday and Thursday nights. I didn't even go to work Friday morning. I did one store after school, but I told the manager at the other store that I was way too tired and had to go home. I think I dozed off more than a couple of times on the way home and found myself crossing lanes. I didn't even realize I was driving home on fumes. I realized I had no gas when I pulled into my driveway. STUPID! I'm lucky I didn't kill myself or someone else. So I ended up sleeping from 3 p.m. until 5:30 the next morning (when Skippy wanted to go out). I was still totally wiped out. After I got through with work, I came home and slept again. Marcus woke me up to go give Dave his birthday present, we had dinner, and I came home and slept some more.

I felt more awake today, but when I got home from work, I napped even more. Craziness. Marcus and I had a lunch today of Chipotle burritos and Starbucks Mocha Frappacinos. Yummy!!!! They were passing out free samples of a raspberry mocha frappacino. It was quite tasty.

Anyway, got to get to bed and start all over again. I have more to say, but no time. Hopefully, I'll have a few moments tomorrow.
