Hope these Dogs can be Placed Together

Can you help me find homes for these pups?

They are victims of divorce 😦

The family would prefer they stay together.

Both dogs are 2 years old, neutered,

up to date with all their shots,

house broken & great with children.

December 1st 2012 gym, studying, DOGS NEED A HOME

December 1st 2012

Welcome to another MONTH…..

Happy first day of December!

the gym was super crowded today –

guess everyone wanted to get their

work out in early & get on with the day!

this was pretty much how I spent my day:

Studying!

this was pretty much how I spent my night:

Studying!

sister Pat got me this nice present today:

PURPLE PENS – can NEVER have enough of these!

Weasel keeping me company while I study.

Her doggie couch is next to the desk.

I just love when I get mail addressed to JOYLAND

and I get it!!!! forget Ivyland – just change my

city to JOYLAND!!!!

lucky for me sister PAT made us dinner tonight.

Seafood Saturday = Sea Scallops.

We saved time & money by eating in.

I liked saving BOTH tonight.

more time to study & more $$$ in the pocket.

I procrastinated a little after dinner

getting back to studying —

I cleaned out this drawer & founds lots of

useless items that went directly in the trash.

I also found 3 calculators & 5 rulers

~ anyone need one? LMK

finally finished studying & made myself

this adult smoothie beverage.

Frozen bananas with Kahlua, brandy

& creme de cacao topped with whipped cream.

yum.

Thursday 11/29/12 Job Club & Beer Tasting

Thursday 11/29/12

Campus of Bucks County Community College

(BCCC)

Today I attended Job Club at BCCC.

It is an informal meeting among people

who are employed/unemployed

and looking for new jobs.

Basically, we share ideas & give support.

It’s a very positive environment, which I like.

Karen Demmler runs the job club which is part

of the Encore Career Institute at BCCC

http://www.bucks.edu/student/career/adult/

Karen does an AWESOME job & suggests great ideas.

Four of us met today. Sometimes there are more

people & sometimes less. In any case, it’s a

great way to get out & learn more about

the job search & the process.

If you are one of my MANY friends

who recently got laid off,

I would highly recommend attending.

friend Vanessa using MY MUG

at Fred’s private breakfast club……

for the last time!!

She leaves today for her journey to California!

We already miss the Keeney’s 😦

Tonight we kicked off our Beer Tasting Club

Wednesday 11/28/12 gym, reinvention coach, wine tasting

Wednesday 11/28/12

We all hate “Rope Day” at the gym.

Can you jump rump for 3 minutes NONSTOP?

It’s HARD!

What are your top 5 exercises??

Chester is on an elaborate feeding & pill schedule.

I had to make him a spreadsheet so we know

when he got his last feeding & when/what

his next pill is.

Pill giving to dogs is a challenge!

Human pill giving is easy – wrap in BACON!

On our neighbors lawn: A Manger to be??

Hoping for some Live Animals in there!!!

Had a coaching session with my Reinvention Coach.

She’s made many good suggestions & now I need

to make the time & implement them.

You all know I am STUDYING hard for my

pending wine exam.

btw — here is a link to my appearance on the

Katie Couric show. It’s 6 minutes long –

I appear at 54 seconds for about 2 minutes.

Enjoy!

In school Tuesday we had FORTIFIED WINES.

Sherry, Port & Madeira – these are definitely

interesting wines that I need to learn more about.

Friend Joyce thought my teacher Neal

looked QUITE FORTIFIED!!!

Had a wine tasting tonight in Newtown.

Was a quiet night. Only sold 3 bottles of wine.

We opened one:

Tuesday 11/27/12 our first sort of real SNOW

Tuesday 11/27/12

I mostly studied today & have school tonight.

Thought I’d get the Picture of the Day out

early vs late for a change. Tonight we are

learning about FORTIFIED WINES –

do you know what those are??

Stay-tuned!

THE BEFORE photo – just as the snow started

around 8 a.m. today

for the sake of comparison:

AFTER photo – this was around 11 a.m.

We ended up with about 2 or 3 inches

of slushy heavy snow.

Went to the gym first thing – just to get that done

& over with…….

Driving home in the snow — the main streets

were not too snowy yet.

License plate of a store that sells CLOCKS.

Very apropos! Also, the window decal on the

left is for NO BULL TRAINING – a boot camp

that I used to attend. kind of cool.

Had a visitor waiting for me when I came home.

It’s the Cooper’s Hawk that feeds at our bird buffet.

He finally flew away – can you see??

Perched upon my neighbors house –

still searching for some tasty bird treats,

literally!

Chester checking out the Winter Wonderland.

Lucky Leopard in the snow

Snowing on the Village

It was really pretty.

Pictures never do justice to reality.

A friend’s son built a snowman!

Used a carrot from their garden for the nose!
