How long did that take?

I posted about the BBD less than twenty minutes ago. She seemed to be very excited about being mentioned in my blog. As a matter of fact, she was so perky that she and I played with one of favorite toys, an empty two liter soda bottle.
The bottle is now in shreds and the BBD is resting comfortably on my bed. Life with a large dog can be exhilarating, to say the least.
I’m blushing now

My landline rang. Which is weird and unusual because I usually don’t even have it plugged in. As a matter of fact, I tend to forget I have it because we all use cell phones. Meanwhile, my dog, the BBD, gets excited every time she hears a phone so she’s making tons of noise. We’re talking growling and howling and a bit of roo-roo-rooing for good measure. (I wonder if she’s hoping for a phone call from a long lost relative or something?)
So, I figured that the caller was a relative and I, being bright, witty and wacky, answered the phone accordingly.
It was the phone company.
She politely informed me that I owed them $57.42 and asked if I wanted to pay them now?
I managed to stammer out my card information and apologized profusely for forgetting about them and their fine, fine service.
I had thought about having the landline disconnected, but decided against it. Who knows, the BBD might just end up getting that call she’s been waiting for.
Pencils and Toner and Binders Oh MY!

You know, one of these days, everyone in my family is going to have to sit down and discuss our mutual obsession about office supplies. But for now, we’ll all happily discuss topics like the merits of various types of staplers, or the best kind of mechanical pencil to use, or where to procure the best deals on office supplies.
Come to think of it, we probably won’t have to debate that last topic, because I think I found a site that has some great deals. From now on, we all won’t talk about where to get our office supply “fix”, we’ll all just talk about what our favorites are. For example, I prefer correction fluid that you paint on with a dauber, while MLL prefers the kind that dispenses like tape.
Uh oh, I sense another family debate brewing…
I need to eat more fish

I try to eat it, honest I do. But the problem is….it just tastes so fishy. I do like a good fish stick about once a year, provided I have plenty of tartar sauce on hand.
I just found a great recipe for fish at a very nice blog. I don’t know if I’ll ever make this, but I thought I’d show the blogger some linky love and also keep the recipe link for my own future reference.
Maybe I’ll actually buy some fish on my next trip to the grocery store. Oh wait, I forgot, I’ve been having my groceries delivered. I wonder if the personal shopper at the store is very selective about buying fish? After all, when it comes to fish and meat, you need to know what you’re doing. The personal shopper did pretty good on my order last week, but how careful do you have to be when picking out cans of chili?
