So, Saturday I got my paycheck in the mail and it contained my pathetic 5 dollar a week raise. Whoop de do. I will contain my excitement about the fact that 5 dollars a week does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING short of supporting my soda habit. I could be the optimist and say “Now, what about the time I only needed 2 more dollars to be able to pay a bill?” Yeah, well, I don’t feel like being an optimist right now.

I watched the movie “Signs” over the weekend. All around it was a decent movie. It was suspensful which is something I like in a movie, kind of had me on the edge of my seat, oh no, will the aliens get them???? hehe My only gripe about it was the end, it was dissapointing. I don’t want to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t seen it though so I’m not going into detail about it.

Yesterday I found a tick on Casper!! Yes, you heard right A TICK on my INDOOR ONLY cat! This has never, ever happened before although I realise it’s always possible for us to bring ticks inside after we go hiking. I don’t know if it came in on one of us or Sara but it decided to bite poor little Casper on the back of his neck. I fucking hate ticks. After much frustration Hubby got it pulled off of the poor cat. Actually though, we’re lucky, Casper is the one cat that’s relatively easy to hold down. He’s used to being held down for different reasons, usually for his hair-cut. I cut his hair short for summer, he’s long-haired but he loves his hair cut short, he prances around and stuff after we cut it. Anyway, I think we’ll be investing in frontline for the cats as well as the dog. Too bad they don’t make frontline for people, I’d take it, it’d be worth it for me, I HATE ticks!!

So now for the usual Sara update. She’s getting huge, it’s so cute. At first it was hard for some people to tell whether she was a golden retreiver or a yellow lab. She’s starting to really look like a golden retriever now, her hair’s getting long and stuff. The back room (our storage room) has become her room. She only wants to play in there now. I give her a toy or a treat or something intending for her to stay in the kitchen with me and she always takes it to her room. The funny part though is that she comes back to the kitchen if we don’t follow her. She’ll look at you with the toy or treat in her mouth like “What’s wrong with you, aren’t you coming?” We had intended to make that room a library/gameroom but I think the plans for that may change and it’ll become a library/Sara’s room. I’d make it just Sara’s room but we wouldn’t have anywhere to put our books. We have quite the collection of books and magazine’s. Lets just say we have plans to make all the wallspace in that room book-storage. Half of it already is and is in use. That’s what happens when two book worms get married. 🙂

So, I guess that’s about it for our weekend. It’s supposed to snow today. We’re supposed to get 6-10 inches. Perhaps we’ll receive a snow day tomorrow, the snow’s coming in at a good time for that, guess we’ll see. 🙂
