Randomness

D is watching Formula One, though he's probably asleep by now - all that racing around in a circle over and over. Silly stuff, it is.

Tonight I said to D that I was disappointed with my blogging buddies today due to an apparent dry spell in posts and lamented that their jobs and lives get in the way of my entertainment. I then noted that maybe *I* should get a life. D amusingly and carefully said, "You do have a life...it's just not one that requires a lot of time spent away from blogging." That made me smile. I'm out of milk, so a trip to Costco is on the list of things to do tomorrow along with pick up poo in yard and grocery shopping for the weekend. Today I did a lot of cleaning and listened to podcasts while doing it, rather than music. It was terrific. Makes it so the mindless cleaning is more enjoyable and my noise canceling headphones make it easy to hear even when I'm vacuuming.

So, I have no issue admitting that I am particularly looking forward to three second-tier competition TV shows starting within the next couple of weeks: So You Think You Can Dance, Hell's Kitchen, and Last Comic Standing. Cheesy, bad TV, blah, blah. I don't care! I love it - as long as I can watch with TiVo ... would be torture to watch all the commercials or not be able to fast forward through Paula Abdul's ramblings or the idiotic tradition on the last episode of Survivor where they honor the past contestants. I'll be giving NBC's Treasure Hunters a whirl, too.

I just tried to get a picture of Turtle to do a side-by-side comparison with this overweight dog (need to make myself feel good about her progress despite the fact she never loses any weight!), but she was so tired that the moment she sat up, she would fall back down into a down position. I'm rather cruel that I woke her up to do this little photo session. Anyway, here's the picture of the overweight dog:

Here's a picture of Turtle who is less than pleased with me:


I guess I still need validation that she doesn't look like the top picture because last time we went to the vet, I saw her outside her normal environment and I think that made her seem bigger to me. Weird, I know. She's doing very well with her elbow lately, so I'm quite pleased.

Time for bed.
