Venting.......

Being a court reporter, you hear all kinds of stuff. Some of it is very exciting and draws you into the life of the person, and then there are the same 'ol car accidents that they got rear-ended and now they're claiming all sorts of damages because their back hurts and they can't work, blah, blah, blah... boo-hoo... when there's only $500worth of damage to their car... give me a break.
I've been working on this transcript for a week it's 195 pages and growing... meaning, I've dropped some words taking the record down, or in editing, it needs a new paragraph, there's interruptions, etc. In this depo: CAN I GET AN ATTORNEY THAT CAN SPIT OUT THE DAMN QUESTION? and CAN I GET A WITNESS THAT WILL LET THE ATTORNEY FINISH SPITTING OUT HIS QUESTION WITHOUT AN INTERRUPTION? Can I hear an AMEN? Come on people!!! I have 37 pages left and I want to give it to my proofer and say, just delete the last 37 pages because it doesn't matter anymore. UGH........

My Apologies

Sorry about not posting a picture and measurements, I've been feeling down with the weather and with work. I need warmth and a day where I don't even have to think about working.... ah wouldn't that be nice? I will post one soon, maybe even tomorrow. I work out tomorrow (meaning on a job) and it always makes me feel good to get doo'd up and see one of my favorite attorneys. I hope the job goes well, because I don't need another crappy one.... ugh....

The Reveal

I know all you fans have been waiting for the "Big Reveal," however, I need to find someone who will take a picture of me all doo'd up. It will probably be just a close up and then you can compare to the picture that was taken the day before the diet of the office M&M party here at my house. I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow, haven't decided whether I'm changing the color yet, but I will take a picture soon and post some measurements. Thanks for all the good wishes throughout this crazy diet and hope to change even more!!! GOOOOOOOO MOLLY! (yes, I used to be a cheerleader and I'm not necessarily proud of that) :)

BoBo's Vocabulary

They say a dog can understand 100 words. If you work with them, a "trained" dog can learn up to 200 words. Well, this post stems from a conversation that I had when I was in Richfield a couple weeks ago with my mom. When I went to the Petco to get dog food, I bought a couple toys for the boys. I bought a chicken and a pig. When we got to Richfield, I took the toys out of the bag held them side by side to Bo and said, "This is the chicken," and I'd put the chicken in his face, "chicken, chicken, chicken," is what I said. Then I held up the pig and said the same thing. Mom was laughing in the meantime. I put the two toys behind my back, acted like I switched them around, brought them back out and asked BoBo, "Where's the pig?" Mom, I thought, was about to laugh her way off the couch. He comes right to the pig and takes it from my hand. Then we both laughed hard. (You've pictured this, right?) So then I decided when I got back to Boise, I would start making a list of what BoBo knows. Here's BoBo's Vocabulary: sit, shake, shake other hand, down, rollover, high five, dinner, breakfast, treat, cookie, a lil sumpin, walk, park, river, ride, get in, come, stay, Gus/Gussie, jerry the weasel, chicken, pig, monkey, reindeer, hamburger, bone, kong, peanut butter, ball, kitty, cat, meow, squirrel, Rainy, Grama, Grama's house, JoJo, JoJo's coming for lunch, Modo, Uncle Meany, Sirius, Scott, Sam-Sam, speak, speak a lil louder, mama has to go to work today so you and Gussie have to be good boys (yes, he understands all of that), mama loves you, you stink, skit'em, mailman, go, on your mark get ready get set go, Gabriel, Botus, Coyote (Kristen's dog Cody), Jadie, no barking, quit licking, bad dog, not right now, good boy, let's take a lil nap. Those are all the ones that I've written down. There could be more, but that gives you an idea of his vocabulary. Gus' Vocabulary: cookie and BoBo.

For Hire:

Do you have a husband that works all day and leaves you with the spring-cleaning projects out back? Do you need your trees trimmed and then shredded?
At BoBo's Backyard Bark, he not only trims your trees, he hauls them to a designated spot on your lawn and shreds them into bits. He charges only a low price of 3 treats per hour. When he is finished with this job, you now only have to go to the designated spot on your lawn and rake up or pick up the pieces. How simple is that?
Book now, his calendar his filling up fast!

Almost to the END!

Well, I've just about made it to the end of this crazy diet and ready to begin my healthy lifestyle of diet and exercise. When I am finished with this crazy part, I will take some pictures and post them, along with some measurements. I'm way to embarrassed to post the pre-diet picture, it's awful!!! Less than a week and counting......

Thanks Cadbury and Aunt Joyce

Last night I got to talk to Aunt Joyce. She was very graphic in details about how she loved and enjoyed the Cadbury chocolate eggs. Our conversation went a lil something like this.
AJ: "How's the diet going?"
MW: "It's hard because I've got such a sweet tooth."
AJ: "I especially love the Cadbury chocolate eggs."
MW: "Yeah, me, too!"
AJ: "I particularly love having a swig of water, pop an egg in, let it marinate in my mouth as the chocolate coating melts off and drips down my throat."
MW: "Oooooooh, that sounds so delicious and vicious. Thanks Aunt Joyce for the visual."
Dang to you Mr. Cadbury for coming up with what seemed to be gross and disgusting, those Cadbury eggs. Not the chocolate ones that Aunt Joyce was referring to, but the ones that look like eggs. I haven't bought a Cadbury egg in years because I thought it was just gross and too sweet (is there such a thing as too sweet?) But now after having talked to Aunt Joyce and seeing the commercial for the "Cadbury bunny try-outs" I want a dang egg..... I guess I'll have to settle for another piece of Melba toast..... man, oh, man how it is not the same.
