We just got in from Dinosar Park in Glen Rose, Tx. What fun we had. We went in the conversion van, now named Sosie, which makes it so easy to set up. I was already to go by 9 am but Mikey had to fiddle around. He is so good at fiddling around. I believe this is an art most men posess.
The weather was great for all our needs. We did a bit of hiking, enjoyed a presentation on snakes; which gave us a new saying : "Leave the snake alone!", and enjoyed a movie night under a nicely moon light night.
Life is good, even if I am unemployed like 20% of other americans.
Can you believe it is 20% now. Seems I remember 9% being a big freak out in the states. But, then George Bush had to allow our jobs to get sent to other countries. OOPS.... I am blowing the harmony of the moment.
Back to trip time. ... that reminds me .... I got a little clip of Mikey trying to fit in the tub of the van for a wash up. Think I will post on you tube. And no, there is no nudity scene. We were not paid enough for that. LOL.... jk.
So look under "Mikey in the tub" That will be the title.. I think. Or, Mikey and the mini tub. IDK>
for now Dog Days to you!

Dog Day 28 or so
OMG, loosing track of time. It has been too long since I worked last. I am getting anxious!
I went and put in an application at a place today but was a day late and a dollar short. The position had been filled. UGH!!!
I came home and immediately hit the carrot cake up for a big slice and a cup of coffee. *note* Dr says I should give up coffee, due to Blood Pressure. UGH!!!
I have a new plan. *Brain fart* I forgot it after eating the cake. SUGAR HIGH!!
I believe it will be awhile till I hit pay dirt on the landing of a job. So, I need to free myself of the stress of the NEED TO WORK syndrome. Think I can do this by paying off the house and lazing around awhile. BAD IDEA! Ok, other thought is to start a blog that really gets peoples' interest and put an advertisement on it. But what to write on? Dogs and Cats fighting? Trash can accidents in the United States? The uprising heated temperment of the African-American society? Hmmmm. Such decisions take another piece of cake.
For Now Happy Dog Days to you.
and BTW that is my dog on the profile picture. I have not morph'd into a dog being. hehehe

Dog day 20
Not a lot happening on the front lines today. I know I have not been beat up by anymore trash cans. This is pleasing news to my hubby.
I found a new love, photography. I just need better equipment. Isn't that always the case. Spend more money on new hobby.
Well, atleast when I do get a new joby I will have something to blow my paychecks on, besides bills.
Guess that is my big update of today.

Dog Day 18
It is now almost 2 months of unemployment. Gezz seems like yesterday. How I thought that the life of the unemployed was going to filled with "nothing". That I would sit around and watch movies, sleep and play WOW all day. NOT!
I have still been up to my ears in projects to finish, software to learn how to use, language to master or at least understand (Spanish) and new areas of interest to being a journey into.
I was told that after the fog of menopause lifts out of one's mind, a new dawning appears. It has appeared! Now I want to chase after it with all my might. Not to let another period of life slip away without learning all I can.
AT the same time, I got to slow down too. What a crazy oxymoron. Seize the day but slow down enough to smell the roses and not tumble over my trash can. Which I did, by the way. Tripped and fell over the big ugly trash can . Busted my lip too. Bad Bad Bad.
Has anyone else encountered the evil that lurks within those big, ugly, tall, trash cans that the city supplied us with? I have heard they don't push to well. That you have to pull the pricks. Oh now I am instructed how to best handle them. Why did it not come with instructions like my toaster did? Oh my.
I put a snap shot of my big fat lip and the bruised up hand I got from my Hurried Adventure.
Enjoy..... and remember to pull not push your trash can to the curb.
Happy Dog Days to yOu.

Dog Day 14
I have been out of touch and experiencing the lazy life of vacationing. Yes, even the unemployed may vacation once in awhile.
We took a little jaunt out to Lake Benbrook but had to get supplies after our first night out. That meant "shopping". Oh and how I miss shopping while unemployed.
The bliss of "shopping" can never be replaced with anything else. It is the adventure of finding the "treasure of the day". Plus a shopper gets to mix and mingle with all sorts of social levels. Which can lead to interesting conversations, enlightened knowledge, also intriguing comments.
After we picked up what we needed for the "class B" motor home, we were off again to Lake Benbrook and Holiday Park. What a fitting name for the camp site area on our first journey out.
I put in a few pictures for your amusement. The last picture is of the shopping cart that found us. Story is : we were waling up to Cablea's and this cart came rolling up to us from no where. We felt it was a sign of "special deals ahead". Silly us.
Got to run but will be back with more add Dog Day of the Unemployed for your enjoyment and entertainment.

Dog Day 10
I went to a linked In seminar today. A great speaker, Dennis O'Hagan; spoke on the attributes and secrets of using Linked In. I learned alot.
Linked In is a powerful networking tool for professionals to use. Keyword here is "professionals".
I rarely think of myself as a professional but then that maybe my down fall. I am to work on redefining my image to be more "professional". I believe image is an important thing. Do you?
Try a test.... define yourself in 20 words or less and then ask others how they see you, then compare. If others match what you wrote down then you are the image you sought to be but if they don't. Time to redefine yourself.
Might be a fun adventure.
Doggie Days to you!'

9th Dog Day
Long time no write. Sorry I have not kept up my post the last few days. I have been a victim of the "deregulation process" in the marketing of electricity.
Yes, I got my electricity turned off for 2 days. Boy was that ever Doggie Dog Days!
In being that all these electric providers send out fliers, door to door sales rep(s) and phone marketing; I got caught up in one of the offers. After receiving the contract agreement in the mail. And yes reading it! I decided not to go with them. I called and cancelled but didn't follow up with my current provider, with this change of mind, resulting in no power to my house.
I came home and no electricity. Bummer!
I got to spend two days without electricity. This gave me a different perspective on Life with electricity. It is much better with it then without. I do enjoy being able to get back into using the powered microwave, speedy computer plus the all reaching telephone. But, let not forget to give notice to the all magnificent LIGHT BULB.
Now, that my microwave has finished its duty of cooking my lunch. I am off for the rest of this 9th Dog Day of the Unemployed. Check with you later and hope none of you make the same mistake I did.
