Clearance chocolate

I like alliteration :).

I just totally cancelled out whatever calories I burned in cardio dance class. I ate peanut M&M's (my favorite!) and chocolate-covered raisins (which are gross-looking and feeling when slightly melted). They were cheap. Candy bar prices have really gone up, so I won't be buying them anymore (not that I really was). I somehow manage to pack on the pounds nonetheless, ha.

Speaking of eating, I went to Baker's Crust in Williamsburg today (had just gone saturday in Richmond with R-M friends). I got a shrimp and avocado salad and Manhattan pastrami panini combo. It was so-so. I told one coworker who also got the same salad that it would be better named "avocado and bacon salad." (only came with 2 shrimp)

I hope I like the class on Quick Books tomorrow. Visit to Gramma's afterward.

Annoyances with inconsiderate people

I'm not going to go into detail but when people don't communicate, it's more of an afterthought, it aggravates me. Especially when they're closer people in your life. I think "little" things like this bug me recently because I have more time to think about them, not being employed. I want to be like a duck, as my mom's told, and let it roll off my back :).

Catsitting Take 2

Take 2 because this is the 2nd time I'm watching these cats, although last time I would just visit briefly to feed and give them some loving. Just now, as I walked up the steps to desktop on the 2nd floor, I saw little blood spots on the wood stairs. I got a wet paper towel and cleaned the little spots, assuming it came from the smaller, slightly younger cat. Sure enough, shortly after cleaning, I saw him on the stairs licking his front paw. I tried to clean it with wet paper towel but he wanted none of that.
Today is Father's Day. I only had a bag of Bagel chips to give him, knowing that wasn't sufficient, but lucked out yday in going to a consignment store near the park where the vegetarian festival was held. I called my best friend's bro about something, and he asked for moving assistance for a table he was consigning. While I waited on him briefly, I perused the shop and to my delight, found a nice hardcover book on Norway for $4. It's a great gift for him because

1) he loves books
2) he loves used books because he's cheap
3) he loves genealogy, studying his Norwegian roots

What a funny last name- Wingle! ha

Real estate sale

The various tasks I did working at the estate sale (2nd time) today:

- as soon as I walked in the door, was asked to go to Staples and get sales books

-swept

- took the dog for a walk (and stepped in her poop and had to clean it off my shoe, boo)

-dissembled a Christmas tree and carried it to the car with the help of a random man

-made sure the dog got food and water (she was thirsty!)

Felt I wasn't doing much, sitting in my rocking chair, but I was available on the 2nd floor to help and answer ?s, write tickets.

Old man "hitting" on me..

Everybody thinks I'm in college! "No, I graduated 4 years ago."

-let a woman use my phone

Frustrations with dogsitting

I hate this dog right now. It's ironic that I saw my sunglasses outside on the table and thought to bring them in but thought, "Nah, it can wait." Next thing I know, he has them in his mouth, one lense already chewed up. It's a good thing I don't have expensive stuff. I can't believe how bad this dog is.

Great (sarcasm)

The dog just chewed up my expensive makeup cream. It was near the end of it but still, that was at least $5 there he just demolished. (mad) I started cooking breakfast and saw he had a black tube in his mouth, which I realized was my blush. Then I let him outside and saw chewed plastic on the floor (the cream). I'm not in the habit of closing doors in the house every time but it's necessary with him. I may as well go to Costco and get a huge pack of rawhides!

I don't like loud dog barking. I know our Schnauzer's bark was annoying at times, yippy but I'd rather have that than be scared. Geez!
