A Watched Mailbox Never Delivers

July 12, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: home, life | Leave a Comment


My husband and I are waiting for our stimulus check. My husband is a lucky “99” person, so we’re last on the list. And we’re also getting a paper check. We got the letter that said it would be here by the 11th…and well, it’s the 12th and still no check.

Isn’t that the way though? When you REALLY need it and are looking and waiting for it, it comes late? Dam Murphy!

Hopefully, hopefully hopefully (!!!) it will be here on Monday.

The babies (dogs) are out of their morning food and we’re improvising…which is ok, but not great. This morning Onyx had 3 oz of honest kitchen (thank GOD for the samples we got in the mail!!!!) and then I cut some pieces off of a chicken back to get her to 5 oz. Topaz had some ground hamburger (so much for sloppy joes!) and the rest of the chicken back I cut up for Onyx. At least we still have 3 containers of chicken backs. If the check’s not here by Monday I will thaw out the chicken we have in the freezer…it’s freezerburned, but they probably won’t know the difference. It would be nice if I had a grinder.

Now to some more random topics:

I’m listening to “Marley & Me” at work right now. I’ve run out of other things and saved this one for last. Actually, I tried to listen to it before I listened to “It Had To Be You” by Susan Elizabeth Phillips but I couldn’t do it. I read “Marley & Me” and I loved it. I didn’t read it at the most appropriate time in my life (we had just lost a cat) but it is a wonderful book. On audio however, …yikes! The author, John Grogan, reads the book and let me stress again…I LOVE the book…but his voice is whiny and I don’t know…it’s just really painful to listen to. But I’m out of other books to listen to, so “Marley & Me” it is!

I check out a few different blogs (located on the right side) for scrapbook freebies. I’m so excited to be able to find a template and see in my head what i can do with it…now that i know how to use templates in photoshop. I found this one here and instantly thought of my sister who’s getting married in October. Then I found the most perfectest freebie kits to use (i need to find the link for the blog I found them on)! The whole page kind of came together…which is exciting. I love to use my creative side. It relaxes me.

I’m going to end this with my scrapbook kit wish list. These are some kits that I’ve been admiring lately…one of these days I’ll get them! I see kits everyday that I’d love to buy, but these are some that I keep going back to!!

Digital Scrapbooking

July 7, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: scrappy | Leave a Comment

Well I’ve found my new obsession: digital scrapbooking.

I could listerally spend hours sitting here searching for kits and free kits and embellishments, papers, and now templates since I’ve been using Photoshop! I just learned how to use it a little bit, and granted I’m not any kind of expert, I have done ok.

I made the following layout yesterday with Photoshop:

Mickey is my parent’s dog and he will dance for a cookie or a carrot. So I cut him out of the picture I took and planted him in this layout. It’s from a template and I’m horrible at remembering where I get things. I need some kind of system, because I can’t even give people credit. I’ll have to get a better system.

But this is my new passion. I love to be creative and actually would love to make kits and elements and everything. I could definitely make word art…not that it’s easy by any means, some people really have a knack for it. But I think I could make that.

Do you feed your dog NUTRO?

July 6, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: zoo | Leave a Comment

Well don’t!!

Click on this link: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2008/06/pet_food_recalls98.html

Illness, Death Dog Nutro Pet Food

“A series of mysterious illness and death dogs Nutro pet food. Scores of pet owners report their animals became ill while eating Nutro products, then recovered when they were switched to another brand.

At least six dogs have died in the past two months, according to an analysis of complaints to ConsumerAffairs.com. The company discounts the reports, saying they are isolated and unconfirmed; at least one Nutro employee, sickened by the company’s response, told us she resigned.”
