Vet trips, reunions, Gaga, and jury duty OH MY! (Part 01)

Well its time for a Blog update.

How to survive a 9hr car ride!

Went home this past week/weekend for my down time.  My work period was over Thursday morning at midnight.  I had the option to go to the hotel and rest but I decided to drive straight through the night to NC so I could avoid traffic and essentially have an extra day off from work.  I spent most of the drive listening to the audiobook version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows so that when the first part of the two part movie comes out in November im prepared for what will have to be left out of the movie for time and content lol!

New Halloween Costume: Mummy by Martha Stewart

When I got home of course I was greeted by an overly excited beagle.  After going through the mail I learned Sirius was due for a checkup at the vet.  I decided to get it out of the way and made the call and set up an appointment for the early afternoon.  Paul wanted to go with too since I had just arrived home so we pilled into his car and headed to the vet.  While Sirius was in the back we walked through the store and picked out numerous "I'm sorry I put you through that so soon after getting you excited that I was back" presents.  We found a new collar and ID tag for him.  The halloween goodies were out so I couldnt resist myself.  We got him a Halloween bobo (remeber the petsmart commercial with the little dog that caries the loofa squeeky dog everywhere and then his owner has to throw it out and take him to petsmart for a new one and the worker, who I think was Zach from the first Power Rangers show, says hey where's bobo.  So everyone in my family calls them bobos), a bandana, a set of pjs and a new costume by Martha Stewart.  This year he will be going as a Mummy.

The Halloween PJs

Sirius' exam came back great and hes lost a few pounds which is good and he got his needed shots and what not as well as his normal flea prevention treatment.  We go to Banfield, which is connected to petsmart, and have pet health care for Sirius through them and Im glad we do because his exam and the treatment would have normaly been over $300 but we only payed $29.

Does all this shit in my hair make me look gay?

All Better!

The next day we had planed to have a few friends over for dinner.  But before that I had to run to get my hair cut as It was long overdo.  I must love my stylist as I continually return to her and every time I let her experiment with a new way to do my hair.  It usually turns out about the same style just varying colors and textures.  She slathers my hair in junk and as I sat there I took pictures of myself all gooped up and sent it out asking if all this stuff in my hair made me look gay LOL.

Oven Baked "Fried" Chicken

When that was all said and done I headed home and made a great meal including oven baked fried chicken, mashed bake (kinda of a mashed potato casserole), biscuits, green beans, and a pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting for desert.  The chicken is the best part because it came from a weight watchers cook book and its one I make as often as I can.  Its baked instead of fried and uses frosted flakes to give it the crunch of fried chicken.  Most of my friends love it.  In fact my friend Tina I work with was jealous when she learned I was making it while home and she wasn't going to have it!

Sadly my transition from overnights to ays got the best of me by this point and no sooner had everyone finished eating had i stepped over to the couch and passed out as our friends played Taboo with Paul.
