I am listening to one of my favorite soundtracks ever – to a show I’ve never seen. Chess. One of my friends in high school had a poor cassette recording of it (it even cut off partway through one of the last few songs, lol) that I listened to a lot. Then, a few years ago, hubby bought me the two disk set. Finally got to hear the whole thing. 
Princess has a friend over. I’m not sure when she’s going home, but they’re playing well and being quiet, so I don’t mind. (The girls didn’t have school today).
I’ve been spending a bit of time at Facebook lately. Several of my family members have made accounts recently, so I’ve been “adding friends” left and right, it seems like. That’s not a bad thing, though.
Let’s see – I also went to Classmates a couple of days ago, and saw something that made me really angry. One of the two men responsible for the death of my Little Sister made a page, and put a little blurb about himself, in which he complained that his career had been ruined by his time in jail. Cry me a river. My opinion is that he got off light – and what is more valuable, a life or a career? I really wanted to ask him that, and to ask if he had any remorse, but I have a feeling that the only real remorse he feels is that he messed up his own life, and I decided it wasn’t worth getting into it.
Eldest is going to AZ the end of the month to help her brother move into his new apartment. She’s flying down, and will drive back with her mother, at least as far as OH. There is talk about Eldest buying her mother’s car, but as she doesn’t have money for insurance, I’m not sure how that will go, and we just don’t have the money to help her right now, not with house taxes and insurance due. I’ve been trying to find a job, with no luck… gotta keep looking. Anyway, while we are glad to have her with us, it will be nice to have a little break. Once she gets a job and/or starts school, things will be better, when they get to a point of normalcy, you know? She’ll feel better then, too, because she’ll have more to do than sit around the house on her computer, and it will give her a chance to meet some people.
I’m also trying to find a new home for our puppy. Hubby is decidedly not a dog person, and as we’ve been having problems housebreaking her, I can see why he gets frustrated. She’s a good dog, other than that. Has a lovely, friendly and playful personality, and is just beautiful (she’s a Siberian Husky, with blue eyes). If we could just get her to not go to the bathroom in the house, he wouldn’t complain about her.
Oh – and Peanut informed me today that she was “born to do arts and crafts stuff!” Lol! Glad she can know that, at 6 years old.
Anyway, I guess that’s all for now. I need to go get dinner started. I’m making Moroccan chicken tonight, a family favorite. Yummy. ~ttfn!
Do you cage her at all? We found that with my dad’s puppy, that if you keep them confined to a certain area of the house. take her out often around the clock, even if she did already mess she will learn. You should also have a cage to put her in so that if she does do something wrong such as messing somewhere you will have a place for her to go when she is naughty. Pet smart will help you with some good information if you go and ask someone who does the puppy training classes there. that helped my dad’s dog out quite a bit. see ya and good luck
let me know how it goes
