My Opinion Counts

Excuse me while I brag a bit on my son. Greg was chosen to be a presenter at the annual convention for the National Communication Association in San Diego. It is a good thing that Greg did not take after his reserved mother and father. He loves to speak in front of crowds.

Greg had two panels chosen for presentation at the convention. The presenters at this conference are typically doctors and doctoral candidates. Greg is in a masters program. You can read about his presentations on his blog, Speakerg.

The house is so quiet. Hubby has fallen asleep in his chair and the dogs are snoring. Greg left after being home for almost a week. It is so sad when my kids have to leave. Greg lost his wallet and so we spent most of the day searching for it. We never did find it so now he will have to deal with credit card accounts and getting a new drivers license.

The dogs will not know what to think when it is time for bed this evening. They have been enjoying sleeping with Greg. Now it will be back to their own room because hubby and I cannot sleep with them in our bed. They snore too much!

My hairdresser and I both have Shitzu dogs. They are our babies. Spoiled rotten. Hers is the craziest thing though. It does not like to go for walks. Have you ever heard of a dog that didn’t jump for joy when they heard the leash come off the peg on the wall? Her little Coal does not want to go and usually runs and hides.

Pam also gives her dog his haircuts. She is a hairdresser, after all. Well, Coal puts his paws up on her shoulders so she can give him a proper trim.

On the one morning I could have slept in, I woke up at 6 am. I was too alert to fall back asleep and so I just got up. Thankfully, I will have a chance to take a nap on our way to the French Lick Resort this afternoon. We have been wanting to see the resort since they restored the West Baden Hotel a few years ago. I’m sure hubby will donate a little money to the slot machines.

We went to breakfast this morning and walked into a restaurant full of politicians. They were planning their strategies of door to door campaigns and other ways to get their agenda out to the public. It was comical to see them plan. I hope they get it together before they hit the campaign trail. Wait! I think I want them to represent themselves just as they were this morning. My close friend is rallying for her husband to defeat them in the upcoming election. I am so glad I do not have to rely on the public to choose whether I keep my job or not.

I gave Brody a bath this morning and he is running around the house like an idiot. He always does that when he gets a bath. He loves getting a bath and especially loves getting his fur blown dry. Elsie hates baths and she doesn’t get stinky like our little Shih Tzu, Brody. His fur gets doggie smelling quickly. They are going to ride to French Lick with us so they won’t be cooped up in the house all day. We are going to spend the night at Greg’s apartment. He will love seeing his puppies.

Have a great and safe Saturday.
