Just brought Little Buddy home. Little Buddy has a new thing he likes to do. After Tom’s eaten and put his plate down on the coffee table, Little Buddy jumps up on the couch, then across to the table to lick the plate.

Late tomorrow night we’re going gambling. I’m totally looking forward to it, even though we’re predestined to lose. We’ll go around 11:00 when the crowds begin to thin out. We could go earlier when it’s crowded, but I don’t want to deal with so many people. There may be no screaming kids to have to deal with, but I don’t want to have to deal with the extra cigarette smoke and having a hard time getting to the machines I like best.

Tom quit yet again in the middle of a project. In the middle of doing his office. I knew he would. This man just can’t stick to anything, and it still pisses me off that he gave his word to me before we moved, telling me he wouldn’t trash anything in this house, only to end up being a casual liar. And the thing about it is that he doesn’t feel the least bit bad about it, either!

Nonetheless, I’ve totally given up on him as far as his office goes. He hates things to be neat and organized. I don’t know if it’s because he doesn’t like how it looks, he just doesn’t care, or what, but it’s totally useless; trying to make him keep his word on that one.

He and I were debating over nutrition, weight loss, and exercise. He feels that if you just eat right, the weight will take care of itself.

Wrong. If you watch your calorie intake, then your weight will take care of itself. Especially if you’re over 30 with no stimulants like cigarettes. Also, exercising cannot change your shape. Nothing can change your shape. When I was 100 pounds, my thighs were the exact same round shape they are now. They were just a smaller version of the ones I got now. Meanwhile, I can never have straight inner thighs because that’s just not part of my shape, any more than I can ever be tall.

We reinked both the Canon and Epson printers yesterday. It was a bit time-consuming and messy, but not too bad. It’s certainly worth the savings, and besides, the first time you do something it always takes longer. Once they were filled, I took the Epson back. It’s slower, but it does envelopes without any problems.

Also, we are going to do exterior fencing. We’re just going to save nearly a thousand dollars and run 4 or 5 strands of barbed wire around the property, which won’t keep dogs out but will make it less convenient for people to drive up and butt into our business.
