Chili's

Kiki writes that she splurged and had a cheeseburger and fries yesterday.
Well, usually sometime during the weekend we eat out.
I'm always very conservative and have a salad or something else low carb.
But, today we went to Chili's and you know how I love the chicken crispers!
Yes, that's what I had!
They were so yummy!!
I didn't eat the whole lunch, but I brought home a doggy bag and no, I didn't give it to the dogs.
I just finished the rest of it :-)
Luckily I did my run/walk this morning, but it's probably time to exercise again.

"Or Just Leave Your Arm and Come Back in an Hour

Today's entry in The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said calendar is:

"Tattoos Done While You Wait."

from a billoboard on interstate 65 near Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Old Lady Running

I think I may change my blog name to old lady.
I did my run/walk outdoors today and it was a lot harder than running inside.
Kiki is concerned about the upcoming days of more running, but if we run outdoors, I see her running rings around me :-)

The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said

I have a desk calendar called the 365 stupidest things ever said.
For today it's a quote by GWB.
I'd print out his whole name, but I wouldn't want to get on the "watch list".
the quote:
"Then you wake up at the high school level and find out that the illiteracy level of our children are appalling."

Jake

We finally heard from the vet about Jake's thyroid test.
It came back normal, which is good, but that means he needs to eat less or get some excercise.
He's rather just sleep :-)

A Day at the Vet

After collecting "samples" in the dark this morning, it was time to take Aussie to the vet for her annual physical. I took her and left the other two at home whining. Her visit went okay..she's fine, except she has a fatty cyst on her tummy, and she's going back on clomicalm in preparation for her visit to the kennel. I brought her back home and took Blue for his vaccines. I brought Blue back and took Jake for a thyroid test. The test is to determine if his excess weight gain and general lethargy are do to a thyroid problem.
Aussie 49.5 lbs
Jake 54 lbs
Blue 81.40 lbs.
All in all, besides the expense, it took about 3 hours ..
and i wonder where the time goes :-)

Mommy

I just talked to the female contingent living in that foreign country.
She's still sick, but Hedgie is feeling better.
She said "I want my mommy" and the birthday boy said, " don't worry, she'll be coming soon." :-)

In Flight Movies

I was just reading Simba's Mom's blog about the Oscar contest and it got me thinking about in flight movies. I thought I'd check to see what was playing this month.

Flights between the U.S. and Europe
Outbound Flights from the U.S. to Europe
"Duma"
Translation: English, French or German

Inbound Flights from Europe to the U.S.
"Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story"
Translation: English, French or German

"The Legend of Zorro"
Translation: English, French or German

I hope next month's choices give me a chance to see some Oscar nominees.

Basketball

The hometown team lost to Lakeland last night 75-73, during a televised game.
The score was tied till Lakeland made a basket and the hometown team got the ball with 2.5 seconds left on the clock.
They failed to score :-(

Gas Prices
