Marcus got my some dinner from the New China Chef. Mmmm, I love crab cream cheese wontons. Yummay!

I tried making some a little while back. I didn't know you could buy canned crab meat like tuna. Anyway, I don't know if the wonton wrappers I bought at King Soopers sucked or whether I couldn't get an accurate temperature on the oil in the pan (my deep fat fryer bit the dust and I really need a new one), but they didn't turn out very good at all. One day I'll try them again with wrappers from somewhere else or I'll try making them from scratch. Bad wontons are yucky.

I missed a call on my cell phone from my old supervisor at my old job. That's three times he called this week. Geez, wonder what the heck he wanted this time. He didn't leave a message, so who knows? What a loser jerk.

I'm in the middle of watching Click and I see that a whole bunch of puzzle pieces were released. Is something wrong with Christopher Walkin? I saw him on Regis and Kelly a little while back and he seems to be not all there. I'll have to Google that later.

Man, I totally forgot to eat. I guess I'd better go do that.

Well, I'm up now because I'm stupid. You think I'd realize that a dog of 14 years of age can't learn new tricks. We've got one of those raised up food bowls and a separate water bowl that has one of those Deep Rock-like containers to hold water that sits on floor level in an old dough tray. We got this setup because of the old Malamute we used to have. She would slop her water everywhere when she drank and had a hard time getting to her food because of her arthritis. I've been noticing that he's having a problem getting to his water for a while now. I decided yesterday to start putting his water in the other side of his food bowl (since it's raised) to help the poor guy out. Well, he won't drink the water in there. Marcus just caught him drinking out of the toilet since he apparently hasn't had water since I changed it yesterday afternnon and Marcus forgot to close the bathrroom door after he brushed his teeth. I was awakened by the dog pacing in the bathroom because he couldn't get water out of the toilet. *sigh*

A visitor to my TT had a Concert Ticket graphic for her list generated at Says-it. Hey Ash, have you seen the Chuck Norris Says... generator they have there?


There was finally an opportunity on PPP for an online printer, but this isn't exactly a business or graphics related blog, so I can't take it. Boooo!. I'm going to go ahead and link them, though, for my own future reference: BargainPrinting.com.

I want some more puzzle pieces, dang it!

I've been on a long quest to declutter my life and get rid of garbage. Since we moved all of our crap out of storage, the clutter has gotten worse. In honor of reuniting with the FlyLady.net site yesterday:

Thirteen Places in My House I Still Need to Declutter

1. Computer Desk — I have two actually. One in the former living now computer room where my PC resides and Mike games on Saturday and one back in my craft room where my Mac resides. Both become dumping grounds for receipts, papers that need to be filed, etc.
2. Laundry Room — This is one of the places where stuff stuff that doesn't have a place always ends up. There is also a week's worth of laundry back there that I haven't put away yet.
3. Dining Room Table — For some reason, our dining room table always collects stuff.
4. Bunny Room — This is where all the stuff from storage ended up. I either need to get rid of this stuff or find it a new home.
5. Under Kitchen Sink — Old cleaning supplies, paper grocery bags, etc. all end up here. There is so much stuff under there, I don't know what's even under there anymore. Time to clear it out.
6. Filing Cabinet — I've made a dent, but I still have lots of useless paper in my filing cabinet. Since a lot of the stuff on the dining room table needs to be in here, I need to get it sorted out.
7. End Table — The table in the family room where Marcus and I watch tv always catches weird stuff. I know there's a Christmas light string sitting there from a project I was working on last Christmas.
8. Reclinder in Family Room — I've dumped everything I was to sell on eBay in this chair. I need to either list it or give it to Goodwill.
9. Bedroom Closet — It seems I've always cleaning that thing out. Why do closets seem to attract clutter?
10. Kitchen Cabinets — I've decided to start getting rid of gadgets that I don't use, sets that are missing pieces, etc. I've been hanging onto stuff just because my Mom gave it to me. If I'm never going to use it, it needs to go!
11. Under Bathrrom Sink — This is where unused toiletries go to die. Need to clean it out.
12. Entertainment Center — I put all of my decorations under here when I put up Christmas stuff TWO YEARS AGO!
13. Craft Room — This place always becomes cluttered. I have so many projects going on that I can't work on any of them. I need to get everything put away and only pull out what I'm working on at the moment.

Whew, I'm getting tired just looking at all of that I have to do. I just need to tackle it one tiny step at a time and I'll be done before I know it!
