Monday

Dang it! I was about to put in this demo CD D ordered for Rosetta Stone to help us learn Spanish, but I think he forgot to take the CD out of his laptop before heading off to work this morning. Languages are the opposite of my strong suit. Reading and writing isn't nearly as difficult as listening and understanding. I'm a definite visual learner, no question about it.

The walk with the pet sitter went well. Eddie was very well behaved and we didn't see any of his triggers. I kind of wish we had so she could see what to look for right before he snaps, but I have complete faith that she'll do a terrific job. I'm not worried about them in the least.

I'm making roast chicken for dinner tonight - that's my cop out dinner. It's so easy and good; why would one not make it weekly? That's what I tell myself, anyway. My vegetarian menus haven't progressed far. I am still eating less meat than this time last year, but I need to refocus and come up with some good solid, vegetarian meal making skills.

At the grocery store today, to which I've not been in a while due to vacations and D being out of town, I noticed that they've rearranged and are getting close to having more organic than conventional produce. That might already be the case. It is good to see.

We got a free bag of the dog food we buy because when you buy 8 bags you get the 9th free - yahoo! Saves me a cool $43. I love going to the local pet store where we buy the food because one person who works there has a 4-year-old Newfoundland who is just huge and so lovable; the other one has a 1-year-old vizla who is shockingly calm.
