My dog either drained the water bowl and felt I needed to know this morning, or he just really had to go to the bathroom. Either way, Chester decided it was time to get up and the result was him getting on the bed and barking at me at 7:45.

That was a new one.

My family's work life sucks donkey balls right now.

My aunt got fired after four months as a temp worker (she was supposed to be permanent right now - another ishy fact) because the new supervisor didn't know what he was doing, and when she did it better, they canned her.

My mom works at a place where she's not allowed to use problem solving skills or do anything but exactly what she's told, the way she's told it. Plus there's tons of bitchiness and back stabbing. As evidenced by the girl that's actively trying to get mom fired because this girl hates my sister and hates my mother. My sister can take her out. Mom is in trouble.

How did I miss that the top five for the Shootout were Harvick, McMurray, Stewart, Gordon and ALLMENDINGER!!!!

Hopefully it'll get up to mid-50s soon, so I can go outside and exercise.

Went to the track at the middle school to run this morning. Needed to do some sprints and some distance running. Have to get the endurance up!

Dude, I got in about a mile total, with 200 yards of full on sprinting. It was a good workout. Not warm enough for my ears, and boy am I out of shape because I was blowing like crazy.

And then I came home, laid down on the couch, and fell asleep for three hours.

So, childhood friend from high school years emails me with great news - she's pregnant. This is all exciting, because she's not freaking out. She's always been very, very nervous, so her not freaking out is a great thing.

She emailed on Thursday. I emailed back yesterday with plans to call her today. Got an email from her this morning saying it might not be a good idea to call because she'll be getting back from the hospital sometime today because on Thursday she had a stroke and a seizure. She's 32! Almost 33! 33-year-old pregnant women who suddenly have strokes and seizures...that's not RIGHT.

So I'm kind of freaking out until word on what the heck caused it.

Part of me is excited because Whitney Houston!

Part of me is excited because Whitney just gave an award to Jennifer Hudson.

Part of me wants to cry because Whitney is higher than Paula Abdul on pain killers.
