It's a beautiful day outside so why am I so blue?

[malta blue]

It is absolutely gorgeous outside and I am stuck in my cubicle - but that isn't really it.....

I am really starting to feel the economic pinch of spending over $400 a month on gas alone.

I am feeling very poor today - both financially and emotionally...

2. thanks Midlo...

You should see the freaking list of things Little MB needs for camp....just the footlocker alone is $150. :wow:

I know it will be okay eventually, but damn it - I got paid today and it is all gone...

6. Sorry, malta

I can't seem to climb out of my slump either. I've read a couple trashy novels, eaten some seriously decadent desserts after downing major comfort food and I'm still sad. I wish we lived closer and we could meet up, have a few cocktails and try to cheer each other up. Alas, the best I can give you today is :hug: Hope soon your spirits soar.

8. the comfort food is killing me

:cry:

I have gained so much weight this past winter my mom asked me if I had a tumor or something because I have belly fat for the first time (I mean BELLY FAT)*ugh*

The worst part is I did not eat anything I wasn't before, and the past month I have forced myself to be more active, and I notice the belly more and more every day :(

:hug: to you too Debi.

9. I hope it passes soon MB

I'm in a similar thing myself. A gorgeous day and I'm feeling so lazy I'm just looking at the day from my porch sipping coffee and awaiting inspiration. :P

:hug:

[malta blue]

10. thanks Inchworm

Is your dog outside on the porch with you?

Hugging my dog is about the only thing that is lifting my spirits these days....

:hug:

11. The dogs are actually my entertainment

My little one is a terrorist and the big one is an oaf.

The closest house to me is about 200 yards away. They have 3 pomeranians. I call them the rat pack.

My little dog sees them then starts yapping and chasing the poms. My big dog looks at me like wha?!? The 3 poms don't back down and chase my little one back. This excites the big one and he goes about 1/2 way between the houses and crouches down like a herding dog would do. rinse and repeat.

It is so funny because he becomes like an invisible fence.

Just have to see it to get the full picture :P

Here is a big smile for you.



:hug:

12. I have a rat terrier and a beagle mix.

The rattie is a terrier terror for sure - she just sits in the sunroom waiting for someone to walk by with a large dog and then she barks like she owns the entire block and tears through the house, stopping at each window.

My beagle mix is sick these days - she is 15 and really slowing down. She fell down the stairs twice earlier this week and is on meds for a kidney/bladder infection. I am keeping all fingers and toes crossed that she recuperates soon and I have my big love muffin back for a little while longer.

That story is great! I wish I could get another rat terrier, but I am afraid of becoming the lady who lives near the woods with a million little dogs. I could see it happening....

:hug:
