When I get rich and am building my dream house, it is going to have one of these!

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.

Sorry about the lack of posts this weekend. The servers were down where I host my site. I can't complain much because the guy is doing it for free as a favor to Marcus.

Whoo Hoo! I actually have all my bills paid. There was actually enough money for once this pay period to just send the checks for the bills I had and not worry about juggling stuff. I was really worried since my first student loan payment for that dumb CollegeAmerica-waste-of-time-biggest-ripoff-of-my-life was due this month. It's too bad that since the Avalanche are done for the year and school is out that sales will drop again. Oh, well. It was nice while it lasted.

I've been absolutely miserable the last few days. The smoke from all these fires is killing me. Sinus headaches, sneezing, itchy eyes. The wind supposedly changed today and is supposed to clear the air a bit. I sure hope so as I have some things I need to do in town today. I took some pictures in town of the smoke and ash yesterday. I'll post them when I get home this afternoon (if the ftp is working!)

We're having quite the storm here today. It was raining and hailing so hard about an hour ago that I lost reception on both the tv and internet satellites. The poor dogs are totally freaked out. Man, we sure need the moisture, though. I just worry about tornados, y'know? Since the temperatures has been in the record-breaking low 90's the last few days, a sudden temperature change like today can cause total havoc.

I really hate the General Store in Byers now. They've changed their affiliation from SuperValu to some place called Thriftway. I'm beginning to think they're also poorly managed. There is hardly any of the stuff you need on the shelves, the shelf tags don't have price comparisson info on them so you can easily see what's a better deal, the employees are filling holes with other merchandise to make the shelves seem full, the meat selection is really lousy, etc. It's not worth putting up with that crap when the food is more expensive, to boot. I'm going to have to get my butt in gear and shop in town.

Well, I'm off to make dinner.

You know you have too many electronic devices when you come up with over 10 separate remotes and none of them are the ONE you are looking for. I'm trying to find the remote for the tv Marcus moved into the bedroom, but, no luck. If I can't find it, I'll have to get out of bed to turn the tv off. :-( Oh, the tragedy of it all. Ha!
