Week 14

Hello all, hope everyone had a great week, and the tornadoes didn't get ya! So, a couple of fun things this week, Shiloh got a haircut. She was not very happy about this, mostly the noise and standing still part. Since there is no petsmart or doggie grooming place, D and I did it ourselves! Very fun! What a mess!

 

The only way that you can tell her hair is shorter, is because you can see her collar. As you can see noisy here is sniffing the package that we received. She was correct, there was something in there for her.

This is her new duck squeaky toy, and what else? A bone? Spoiled!!

The great thing about care packages is someone cared, because they take time to put together and effort to send them, but also it is kind of like your birthday, but without aging. So we took a trip to the post office, which was interesting. There are no computers; the lady just searches for you number in this large book where all the packages are hand written. Then she goes to the back and brings out the package that has a large number wrote on it with permanent black marker. Then she hands me a steak knife. Just typing steak knife makes me want beef. Anyway, she hand it to me and tells me to open the package, she looks though it and to her disappointment nothing interesting. I am not sure what she expected, but we were deemed safe. So in other so important news, I found these at the grocery store. They are called brody beans.

They are basically really, really long green beans. I was quite excited! We have had several servings of brody beans this week. In other food news, I introduced D to Ramon noodles. I know, WHO has graduated from college and has never eaten ramon noodles?? That is un-American! He is no longer a ramon noodle virgin, when ask he said, “hmm, well, not too bad.” At school there is talk of nothing but going home, I think everyone is just worn out, and ready for finals to be over. I know personally, the week after finals, I plan on not thinking at all. In fact, I may have to wear headphones to tell me when to breathe, because my brain will be too tired for that function. Final are looming in front of us, and we are trying to make that sprint at the end of the race where you pretend you are not tired, and go as fast as you can. Also our intramural volleyball playoffs started. Right in time for finals, how convenient. We won our game today. I think we play again on Wed. I have convinced myself that one hour of exercise is good for me, and I won’t fail because of it. Well, back to the books, gotta stay focus just a little bit longer.
