The Princess surprised me today by showing up with Gunner. She really wanted to find out if the Beast had a particular lens she could borrow to take some pictures of Gunner when she finds a mature weeping willow. It seems that there are only young ones around here.
She caught me watching a cartoon movie but it's from a series of little dinosaurs that is cute as hell. Juli and I always watched them which is how I got hooked on them. I then found out that over 10 different ones were made so I want to see all of them.....LOL! But we moved from my computer room to the kitchen and she proceeded to make Gunner something to eat when he started making his *I'm hungry* sounds.
He was shy at first but then, when I had made MY grilled cheese sandwich (he had already eaten a whole one himself) and started sharing it with him, he warmed right up and even stood up at my feet. The poor thing is teething...again. He already had two bottom teeth but now has his two top teeth coming in so his mood changes rapidly at times when they start bothering him. He did come to me and let me pick him up for a snuggle. When I kiss his neck, he gets a big grin on his face. For the first time today, we heard him giggle. It was so darn cute! He has an adorable giggle. Even the Beast laughed when he did it.
The Princess and the Beast ended up going shopping at Aldi's together. She hadn't planned on it but said she needed a couple things anyway so what the hell! The Beast hadn't been to Aldi's yet so he got to walk all through it and found a lot of stuff that he said were cheaper than at Walmart. He just didn't find the meats cheaper but what can you expect. He had to go to Publix to finish the shopping for the week since we needed our special bread and lunchmeats plus he picked up some TV dinners and a few more meat items. I had cleaned out the fridge while he was gone and also got all the dishes into the dishwasher and got that started up.
When the Beast got home from Publix we put those groceries away and then got a real treat. The Beast had found some hard rolls and we made roast beef sandwiches. Love those crusty rolls! We could never find any around here until Publix opened. Their whole bakery is amazing and most things are made right there. If you have a Publix around you, make sure you try their chocolate cake with whipped cream frosting. Amazing and wonderful. We tried, once WE discovered them, to make sure to get one for special occasions. You can get regular cakes or quarter, half and full sheet. They are all at least a double layer so they are wonderful. We always got strawberry filling but there's a variety available. And they decorate them, too. At least we have a nice selection of groceries again.....LOL! No cake, but food. I hate when we get down to fish sticks and hamburger. But we got our SS today.
The Beast and I had a bit of a *discussion* today because he didn't go into the vet's like he said and show her the new tumors and set an appointment to get them removed. I'm especially worried about the one on his paw and the original one on his side that has gotten huge. I know it has something to do with how un-energetic he has become. He's also sleeping a lot. He actually said he had discussed the surgery with the vet already but that was a long time ago and I said so. He got a really pissed off look on his face because the Princess was there with Gunner and he wouldn't say what he really wanted to to me. It wouldn't have been nice.....or very Christian.
I programmed the vet's phone number into my phone and, if he doesn't do it, I swear I am going to do it myself. I'm worried about Baron. He also needs to take Lady in to see if her worms are gone now that we've finished her meds.
It was funny how Lady reacted to Gunner when he was down on the floor. She was actually afraid of him and ended up hiding under the bed. When he first reached over to pet her, she backed away like he was some kind of alien being. I had to laugh, it was so unexpected. Lady is always, always friendly. I don't think she had ever seen a baby before today.
Tomorrow has to be a wash day here. My hamper is full. This wearing clothes only for one day tells you that summer is here....LOL! Plus, I really can't spend a whole day in my jammies now since I have to go check out the strawberries almost daily. I also am watching those tomatoes I told you about. I am bound and determined to make fried green tomatoes when they get the right ripeness. The color is wrong.....still. *Sigh*
I talked with my son, Marcus today and let him know that I wasn't going to be able to make Ren Faire and why. He said he understood and it was okay. He said that little by little everyone seemed to be begging off for one reason or another. But he has two more weekends to make it and have at least PART of his family go along. I know he was disappointed since he wanted to be there for Pirate's Day but he rolls with the punches so he will be fine. We also talked about his new job (he's worked for them for several months but it was the first time WE had talked about it). He loves it and he's happy his boss thinks he's a great IT tech. He's saved the company a great deal of money by re-doing their payroll program and the payable program, too. He found some major mistakes on them that he corrected and showed to his boss. He's now become the *go-to* guy for all the team leaders per his boss's instructions. He loves that. He also told me that he's lost about 40 lbs (which hasn't hurt) and I encouraged him to keep it up. He needs to drop about 40 more. He's much too fine boned to carry the weight he had on him. He will look and feel much better.
Got to go so I am going to finally get this posted. Love you all. Be good. TGIF and enjoy your weekend. ***Hugs***
