Puppy Rescue!
I rescued a little lost dog today, a Papillon named Mario to be exact. When I got home from my mom’s today I noticed a little black and white dog bounding for my car. I opened the door and yelled “Here puppy puppy.” as I got out, and the dog jumped right in my car and was ready for a ride. I scooped up the little thing and called the number on his collar, only to have it go to voicemail. I was dismayed. I couldn’t leave the poor thing outside alone, but I don’t think my cats would be pleased if I brought him in either. I snagged Jasmines leash and hooked him up so he wouldn’t get away from me and called my hubby (who couldn’t answer at the time) and my mom to see what I should do. About ten minutes passed and I got a call from the ower: she was over an hour away visiting family for the weekend. She said she would come get him as soon as she could but would give her friends a call and see if they were in town. I scooped up the little dog and headed in to grab him a dish a water.
I was nervous that the dog would start barking when he saw my cats, or my cats would have a fit, but surprisingly, neither happened. The dog just looked at them with a smile and kept panting. Jasmine acctually followed me around and wanted to see him. I put some water in a dish and brought him outside to walk again. A call came in a few minutes later from the owner, her friends were in town and were on the way to get lil Mario. Sadly, my new black and white friend had to go home and my cats couldn’t spend more time with him. When I got back in after sending Mario on his way home, Jasmine was all over me, meowing, wanting to know what happened to her new puppy friend. Shes so strange. She doesn’t like other cats, but somehow Papillons are ok. This only strengthens my case for when we get our own house, we should get a Papillon.
The waiting game…
Alaska time is three hours behind us… so its almost 6:30 am there.
I guess explaining that would be good. An Illindir player and good friend of the staff, Sam, went out boating at about 3:30 am on Monday (Alaskan time) and then his partly submerged boat was found about 10:30am by a bystander. He is still missing, and I am waiting to find an update on if they found anything yesterday. Ashley and I are searching frequently for any information on whats going on, but he lives in a remote part of Alaska, so info is hard to come by. Part of me is tempted to call the Coast Guard and see if they found anything. I hope we hear something soon.
Saving the environment AND time!
So I found www.hotwaterlobster.com and I really want to look into getting one. Essentially, it really helps out the environment by helping to save hot water and heat up the water quicker. I waste so much water when I do the dishes just waiting for the water to heat itself up. Saving water is really important, not only for my budget, but for the environment as well, which is always a plus.
The Hot Water Lobster is only about 179.95 so its not going to break our budget if we get one, and then its easy enough to install I can even do it. I also very much like the fact it comes with a 30 day money back guarantee and a 10 year parts and labor warranty. Thats always nice so I know its not a rip off like some of those other products on the market. I am for sure going to get one when we own our own house, but I am really thinking of getting one now and even get one for my mom!
It’s Official.
I didn’t get that job at Target. Great. On a bright-ish note, I am almost guarenteed a job in October at Game Point, however, thats quite a ways off. Hopefully I can at least find a temp job before then, that would be nice.
Damn.
Its just been a bad few days…
Still waiting to hear back from Target, so its not really bad news, its just waiting news. Hopefully I can get that job because I neeeeeeeeed it badly.
Got Suikoden 2 and guess what: It doesn’t work. It freezes at the first battle, how great. Now I have to ship it back, get my refund, and either buy a different copy or buy something else. I don’t know what to do, I am just so frustrated about it.
My friend had to put down one of his dogs and I feel terrible for him. I know how animals can become a major part of your life. We’ve had the cats for a long while now and they are part of our family and I could never never never give them up, they are my precious little babies… even if Jasmine bites me.
Hopefully the days shall get better soon… that would be good.
The Waiting Game
So I had my interview and it went really well. They said it was down to me and two other people and they would call within the next couple days if I got the job. I really hope I did because I want that job really really badly.
I think Suikoden II is sitting in the mailbox, I am just waiting for Gino to get home and we’ll go check it out. He may be working at Pia’s tonight *sigh* I was hoping to spend the evening with him just having fun and watching him playing Suikoden II. I like spending time with my hubby, and lately I just feel like we only watch TV next to each other, and we never really have time together. If he has to work, he has to work I guess.
Boooring
So we ended up playing DnD but what a snorefest. We rolled and split up items, only to decide it was just easier to give the item to the player it was intended to go to since some of them were player-specific items (since we are all still low level). Then everyone had to update their character. We literally didn’t progress the story at all in the three hours everyone has been here. I guess its really showing Gino’s and I’s difference in gaming. He likes stat crunching and stacking the best items to find the best combination. I like RP, thats it. The battles hold no real interest for me at all. Ohh well, hes the DM so I don’t really have a choice.
My interview is in 9 hours so I am heading to bed pretty soon. I am so excited and I really hope that I get the job. That would be really really great! Wish me luck everybody!
I’m a bad girl >.>
I need to stop looking at houses to buy in Portsmouth. I want my own house! I want to paint it and rip up carpet! I want something thats ours, but its going to be a while before we can ever move out there (at the least a year since we signed our lease for that long). *sigh* Ahhh well, its ok, one day Gino and I will have our own little home and I shall have my puppy! I want a smaller dog this time, because I want to take it in my car with me and be that person who always has her dog. I either want a sheltie, a welsh corgi or a papillon. They are all sweat lil dogs… I want the corgi the most… name it Ein and be like “My dog can drive a car!” Not really, I wouldn’t let it drive… but I might tell people I did…. mwahahaha.
So I am waiting to hear back from an Amazon seller, and if all goes well I am buying Gino a neat lil present within the next few days. I won’t say what it is, but I know he’ll like it. He better at least, or he shall be PUNISHED. Not really.
I think we are playing DnD tonight and I am so excited! I can’t wait! Only a few more hours and then… then I get to pwn! I muticlassed for a feat and so now I have a neat Druid power: I can change into an animal (small or medium sized) and I even have an attack: Pounce. I rock hardcore. I wish I was bigger so I could turn into a bear and scare the shit out of my team-mates. Ohh well, but Gino did remind me that panthers count as medium… MWHAHAHAHAHAHA. I wanna sneak into a tent as a panther and scare the crap out of my team. Delnic (Gino) is so going to be first.
Interview tomorrow! I am so very very excited and I want this job!
Job Interview!
Hurray! I have a job interview on Thursday at Target! Wish me luck everybody because I could REALLY use this job, especially if its full-time. I’ll end up working late and working on Sundays so it may make playing D&D harder, but we’ll figure something out. We’ll just have to plan around my schedule which won’t be a problem. It’ll be SOOO nice to be getting paychecks so Gino can take it a little easy for a bit and take some days off. He needs a good rest.
So, I have no idea what this means for Otakon. It would probably not be good to take off a weekend RIGHT when I start working, so perhaps its best just to have Ashley head down here. I need to call her today when she gets home from work. We can have fun at my house by watching a BUNCH of anime, surf around on cosplay.com and look at people dressed up and do some online browsing. Not the same as Otakon, but maybe next year.
So my one year wedding aniversary is coming up soon and I have no idea what to get for Gino. I am not really sure what exactly he wants as he is one of the HARDEST people to buy for. I ask him “Ohh do you like this?” “No.” “Well what about something like this?” “Nope.” “Well then what DO you want.” “I dunno…. I don’t need anything, don’t worry about it.” GAH! Boys. So annoying.
Dungeons and Dragons is fun, but the battles are not my favorite thing in the whole world. Gino likes them though, and he is the Dungeon Master, so I guess I have to suck it up. He includes RP too, so its not so bad.
Yay clean kitchen!
SO I spend 4 hours cleaning up my kitchen and I don’t think its EVER been this clean. I have one cluttered countertop and to mop the floor but otherwise everything is neat and tidy in my kitchen. I feel accomplished. I don’t think its looked that nice since… well either when we moved in or when relatives came to visit for the wedding, either way, its been quite sometime and I like it being clean.
Still in search of a job, but on a good note I did put together a very spiffy resume so hopefully that will help me secure a job. I need to find one soon because poor Gino is working himself to death and I want him to be able to take it easy for a little while.
Otakon 2009 is not looking too good for us and it makes me sad…. me being out of work means we have just enough to pay the bills, so theres literally no extra monies. *sigh* I wish we could go, but its not looking too promising at the moment, but things can change if I can land a job soon. Otherwise it will still be nice to have Ashley in town for a week and we can have our own little anime convention in my living room.
