April Fools Day...

Well old friend I’m starting on the mindset once again. Feel a bit like shit to be truthful. The Picture is a bit of tongue in cheek. My attitude has been the berries ever since I broke my bloody foot. Damn, of all the stupid things to do. Yes I'm pissed and I'm beating myself up a bit. With a good dose of sulk on top of it.

Another bloody blizzard just kind of spiraled my attitude down into no-man's attitude. Yes dear ones it's true... there are time my attitude .... hmmmm... what's the word? SUCKS... this past week has been a bloody good example of that. Better today... conscious effort to change it. Sucky attitude makes Mary a shit to be around... even for myself...

Upset stomach and overweight. I weighed this morning... uck... 293 lbs. I have some great tools for weight loss and overall fitness. Time to actually use them. I came to the realization that when I cook for David, it does not mean that I have to eat it. Be a good thing. Weight has to be turned around or it will be the miserable death of me. Frankly it’s a slow painful way to suicide.

I’ve been losing all my time to the computer, so it’s schedule time. Not set in stone but a guideline so I don’t lose track of all time. Start at 6 am and the next thing I know it’s after dark and I still have kennel work to do. Not a good thing, not good for my dogs and not good for me.

What do I want included in my daily do’s :
Kennel
Reading
Workout
Marketing
Training
Tax work
Real estate
Personal private time…bit of peace and meditation
Time with husband
House work… I really like a clean house and at this point it’s scary dirty… front end loader anyone…
Time management… what a misnomer. It’s more like self management within the constraints of time.

Dog food recall threw me for a loop... I cringed when I heard it ... I wonder how many of my clients are feeding their dogs that stuff. Poor dogs. My hairballs are like my children to me. The thought of killing them with feed that I thought was good for them just makes me heartbroken. I' m glad I found HealthyPetNet when I did. At least I know my personal dogs are safe in what they are eating.

I'm so fed up with careless shits cutting corners to boost their bottom lines, that I could just scream. Actually rather than just screaming. I'm going to tell everyone about some safe, healthy dog food, and the corner cutting creeps can just go bankrupt as far as I care. I'm done with their crappy feed. Major name brand feed ... damn it. At least they did the recall. That's something anyway.

Can You Answer This Riddle?

This came into my inbox today... thought it was pretty neat... enjoy...

Can you answer this riddle?

Here is a pretty neat little thing from PaulHarvey. See if you can guess the riddle at the end.

Paul Harvey Writes:

We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I'd like better.

I'd really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I really would.

I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated.

I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car.

And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when you are sixteen.

It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born and your old dog put to sleep.

I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in.

I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother/sister. And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room,but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he's scared, I hope you let him.

When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him/her.

I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely.

On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen riding with someone as uncool as your Mom.

If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying one.

I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books.

When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract in your head.

I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a boy\girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory soap tastes like.

May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.

I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it. And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he is not your friend.

I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle.

May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays.

I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses you at Hannukah/Christmas time when you give her a plaster mold of your hand.

These things I wish for you - tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it's the only way to appreciate life.

Written with a pen. Sealed with a kiss. I'm here for you. And if I die before you do, I'll go to heaven and wait for you.

Send this to all of your friends. We secure our friends, not by accepting favors, but by doing them.

Paul Harvey RIDDLE:

When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford Universityseniors.

What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die?

Send this to 10 people and then press shift and you will get the answer.

P.S. You won't believe this, but this really does give you the answer!!!!

Springtime Weather Today...Yay!

Hi Folks…

I hope this finds you doing well and enjoying some spring weather. Yes I know I’m probably jumping the gun on the weather … but it is beautiful here today. I actually have a dry spot in my yard. YAY! It’s been a long cold wet stretch for here.

We’ve had snow on the ground since before Christmas. My little P.T. Cruiser has had a long sit. I am still cautious of trying to get it down the driveway. At this point is climb up into the ford 4 wheel drive and buck out to the road… that old truck is pretty good close to home. But isn’t good for deliveries. So it’s wait till the driveway drives up before meeting my dog clients anywhere. Well anywhere other than here… I can get out with the truck and bring them in… never thought I’d be off roading in my own driveway…lol… the driveway is between 1/8 and ¼ mile long.

Puppies are doing great… I’ve soooooo got to get some pictures taken. Beautiful babies… and oh my the coats my young adults and adults have put on through this winter. They are so beautiful that they just amaze me…

It’s getting easier to take care of my happy hairballs so I should be able to get some photos taken. By the time I got done with chores I was totally exhausted through this winter weather. So… no photos… just didn’t have it in me.


Made it 20 minutes on the elliptical. Just started on that again. The weather did that in as well… I was coming in from chores and collapsing in a chair. I am soooooo behind on office work…yuck… ok… must be done … I’m down to a narrow path to my desk.

Gotta run… have a great week…

Life is a journey...enjoy the trip...Mary E. Robbins & The Hairballs
