*yawn* (not so) Lazy Saturday...

All right, so today was anything BUT lazy. At 5:50 am sharp, my new puppy woke me up by biting my nose. She wanted off the bed, NOW. So I put some clothes on and took her outside, where she ran around, then climbed back into my lap. I took her inside, and she promptly pees on my floor. I take her back outside, where she decides she'd better go, and does her business. I come back inside to lay down, while little miss bundle of energy hops around the room for about an hour before I calm her down enough to go back to sleep. I get a very rude awakening at ten, when one of my cats decides to jump up onto the bed, only to find my puppy sleeping. I hear a very inhuman screach and lots of clattering and i sit up to find the puppy looking like "What? What did I do?"

Grandma decides we need to go see Mike, so we're out the door before I can even grab a bite to eat. When we get there, everyone goes "AWWW" and wants to hold the puppy, whom we leave at Badgerland (where Mike is currently staying) while we all tromp off to the library. We grab a bite at Burger King (where we are swamped by hornets, at which point I am chased around the car by three) and then spend an hour looking for the Chippewa Public Library. We passed the darn thing FIVE TIMES! Mike and I grab some books, and we go off to Shopko with a quick detour into Walmart. Then, realizing we had gone over our hour, race back to Badgerland. Grandma wants to visit, so I decide to go over to see my friend David. Who is in jail. I get in there, wait, get put into a small ass room, wait, get my purse taken away, wait some more, before finally getting to talk to David over a TINY screen for five minutes. I spent two and a half hours and they cut me short because there was a 'security breech'. One of the other visiter's kids got into something it wasnt supposed to.

When we get into the car, the puppy wouldn't stop whining so I'm pushing 80 all the way home to find that she just wanted a drink of water. *sigh* I clean my room while she's messing around, fighing her new collar, and chewing up my teddy bear.

Yeah, my day was a mess of confusion. But this is a typical weekend. Tomorrow, hopefully, will be quieter. Though I bet anything that ten to six the dog will be waking me up to do the same thing.

I'm planning on crocheting some baskets to 'raffle' off to make some extra money. We have none. They took away mike's check ( $900) and mine ($600) and grandma's kindship ($400). Before that we barely made ends meet. Right now we are living off of $900 a month. Which covers half of the bills. Hopefully, stupid SSI will be getting my checks back to me sometime this month (which is like holding your breath for a full fifteen minutes straight, aka not gonna happen) . I'm planning on making a 'bath' basket, a 'girly' basket, and a 'manly' basket, along with trying to sell some of my original creations. I'm also going to be getting rid of some of my yarn stash, though how much is still in the thinking process. So if anyone has any ideas on what to add, let me know.

Who took away your checks and why the hell would they take away all 3 of them???????

I wish you good luck with your raffels, so sounds like a great idea. Everyone likes a chance to win something. My friend who does that with her framed photos every year to raise money for the 3 day BC walk.

I know it's frustrating to visit someone in jail...just another reason why one would try not to end up there!!

The pup will get it eventually. Don't just let her go outside, put her on a leash and only let her out to do her business. Do that until she's completely trained and you won't have any problems with her. Then she can go out and do whatever she wants, course winter is coming and her legs will freeze so she won't want to be out for too long. That'll probably help too....LOL!!

Sounds like a long day Nikka. I hope Sunday was better!
