SPEAKING OF MEALS..... LAST NGITH'S TV ADS WERE THE WONDERFUL SOMEKINDA OVEN, --- FULL MEALS IN 13 MINUTES FROM FROZEN... AND AS A SPECIAL BONUS THEY WILL INCLUDE A CARRYING CASE. I CAN NOT IMAGINE ANYTHING I WOULD HATE WORSE THAN TO CARRY AROUND AN OVEN WITH ME...-- THEN THE AD GOES ON TO SAY YOU COULD ROAST A PRIME RIB AND SAVE $30 THAT IT WOULD COST AT A RESTAURANT FOR EACH OF YOUR FRIENDS... ... SO NOW THEY AHVE ME LUGGIN THIS THING TO THE MALL JUST INN CASE WE FEEL THE NEED TO HAVE A BIG SLICE OF PRIME RIB BETWEEN MACY'S AND WALMART/
SOMEBODY PAID THIS AD AGENCY TO COME UP WITH THIS AD KNOWING PEOPLE DON'T REALLY LISTEN TO ADS... AND THE THING THEY WILL REMEMBER IS THE JUICY PRIME RIB. THE RUSSIANS FIGURED THIS OUT MANY YEARS AGO AND HAD A FIELD DAY PLANTING CONCEPTS THAT WE DON'T EVEN REMEMBER GETTING PLANTED...WE ARE SO OVERWHELMED WITH ADVERTISING THAT WE LET TEH SEMI NORMAL SOUNDING BUNCH OF CRAPOLA SLIDE INTO OUR SUBCONSCIOUS..
FOR EXAMPLE--- I DO NOT KNOW WHAT POSSESSED ME TO START SINGING A SONG AT DOGFEST WHEN MARK HANDED ME THE MIC-- AT THE START I WASN'T EVEN SURE I KNEW ALL THE WORDS-- BUT I MADE IT TO THE END... IT WAS KIND FUN..
NOW IF I STARTED SAYING " SOME OF THE DOG FESTERS WANT ME TO SING ANOTHER SONG AT DOGFEST NEXT YEAR, I BET IN A MONTH I COULD GET SOME FORMAL REQUEST GOING" GOTTA BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARE TOLD TO BELIEVE.. BESIDES I REALLY KNOW ONLY ABOUT 1/2 OF MOST SONGS--
I WOULD DO BETTER TO RECITE "ALBERT AND TEH LION" PARTS 1 AND 2...
LESSON OF THE DAY... HERE I AM REMEMBERING THAT JUICY PRIME RIB-- AND I FORGET THE NAME OF THE OVEN I WAS SUPPOSED TO CARRY AROUND.-- THAT IS WHAT FACEBOOK IS ALL ABOUT????
****
FYI??? PRIME RIB... MAYBE --- WELLLLL... I KNOW THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE AROUND HERE THAT DON'T REALIZE
'PRIME " IS A USDA GRADE PUT ON THE BEEF AS IT IS PROCESSED... PRIME IS "HEAVILY MARBLED WITH FLAKES OF FAT THAT MELT AND TASTE GOOD AND CHEW EASILY" COSTCO CARRYS A SMALL CORNER OF PRIME-- IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE.. THE NEXT DOWN IS CHOICE-- WHICH IS VERY GOOD--- THEN SELECT WHICH IS CHEWABLE-- THEN COMMERCIAL, UTILITY,CUTTER AND CANNER... WHICH CAN NOT BE CNEWED BY NORMAL TEETH- AND THE LAST ARE USUALLY FOR PET FOOD.
I THINK ?? USDA USED TO INSIST THAT THE STAMP OF EACY TYPE BE LEFT ON THE ROASTS AND STEAKS - BUT YOU ACN TELL ALOT BY JUST LOOKING AND COMPARING -- AT COSTCO THEY HAVE SOME PRIME NEXT TO THE CHOICE, AND THE DIFFERENCE IS OBVIOUS...
IF YOU GO TO A BUTCHER AND ASK WHAT GRADE THE BEEF IS AND THEY SAY "SELECT.".., YOU BETTER SHARPEN YOUR TEETH.
OR BETTER YET BUY HAMBERGER....

Just wanted to share that Kringle and I completed our first 5K today. It will be 3 years on November 25th since my ruptured aneurysm so this was a goal for me. I never dreamed I'd be able to walk one again but I did, thanks to my girl, Kringle! Sometimes slow and steady does win race!

I HATE THAT WE'VE BEEN MIA FOR JUST ABOUT THE PAST MONTH, BUT WE'RE STILL PLUGGING AWAY AT THIS LAW SCHOOL THING AND WE'RE DOING WONDERFULLY AS EVER TOGETHER! IT'S AT THE POINT IN THE SEMESTER WHERE WE'VE JUST RECOVERED FROM MIDTERMS BUT WE'RE ALSO STUDYING FOR FINALS. WE HAVE JUST OVER A MONTH LEFT OF THE FALL SEMESTER - ALMOST DONE! POOR ASHER HAS BEEN SO PATIENT WITH ME AS WE SPEND MOST OF OUR WEEKENDS COOPED UP INSIDE WHILE I GET ALL THE READING, CLASSWORK, AND STUDYING DONE FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK. I'VE BEEN MAKING SURE HE STILL GETS PLAY TIME, OF COURSE, BUT I CAN TELL HE'S BORED COME SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
SO TODAY, WE TOOK A DAY OFF FROM HITTING THE BOOKS AND SPENT THE AFTERNOON IN DOWNTOWN PROVIDENCE, MY FAVORITE ESCAPE FROM BRISTOL AND SCHOOL WORK! IT'S HARD TO MAKE WEEKEND PLANS WITH FRIENDS BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE WORK TO DO ON OUR OWN SCHEDULES, SO I WAS ESPECIALLY GRATEFUL FOR ASHER'S COMPANY TODAY - IT'S ALWAYS MORE FUN TO NAVIGATE AROUND PROVIDENCE WITH A BUDDY, AND HE'S ALWAYS THE PERFECT GUIDE OVER THE UNEVEN SIDEWALKS AND STAIRS!
****
I'M SO AMAZED AT THE TEAM WE'VE BECOME IN ABOUT FOUR MONTHS. I WAS GOING DOWN THE MANY, MANY STAIRS IN THE PARK TODAY TO GET BACK TO THE BUS HUB, THINKING ABOUT HOW MUCH I ENJOY WANDERING AROUND BY MYSELF NOW BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET AROUND SOMEWHERE OR GETTING WORN OUT ON A LONG WALK WITHOUT THE STAMINA TO KEEP GOING. I THOUGHT I WAS PRETTY INDEPENDENT BEFORE ASHER, BUT NOW I HAVE A BUDDY EVERYWHERE I GO TO KEEP ME COMPANY AND KEEP ME SAFE ON OUR LONG WANDERINGS. I COULDN'T BE MORE THANKFUL FOR MY BEST FRIEND!

SHE WAS ONCE AGAIN MY SHINNING STAR AFTER WORDS WE GONE TO THE STORE AND I TRIPPED OVER MY OWN TWO FEET. YUP NOTHING NEW. MY SWEET GIRL CAUGHT MY FALL. IF IT WASN'T FOR HER BEING AT MY SIDE AND SO FOCUSED ON HER JOB AT ALL TIMES I WOULD TAKE SOME GOOD WIPE OUTS BUT SHE IS ALWAYS READY AND KNOWS JUST WHAT TO DO. AS I SAY WE ARE ONE! SHE IS MY HERO
