There I go again, using a song title, like my sister Gail does at her blog, called “More than a Song”. Sorry Gail, I just couldn’t resist! I always loved that Kelly Clarkson song 😀
Let’s see, there’s been a few things going on around here, but the computers and our website being down was obviously the big story. Here’s a few other tidbits:
I couldn’t post to my Project365 blog either, with everything down. I just got that updated and my photos loaded. Swing on over and check out today’s photo, and then be all ooey-gooey with me about how wonderful my husband is 🙂
I haven’t been able to stick to my menu that I posted on Monday 100%. We had what we were scheduled to have on Monday, and it was really good! We had “grilled chicken wraps”, but they tasted a lot better than that description sounds! I bought some sundried tomato flavored wraps, and we grilled some chicken with fajita seasoning on it, and also grilled some onions and fresh mushrooms. I sliced up some avocados and made up a dressing of salsa and low fat ranch dressing, and we put it all together on a big wrap. It was sooo good! Tim even commented several times, these are really good! I did some oven fries with Tony’s seasoning on them, and they were good. I made myself a big bowl of fruit salad, which of course, Tim wouldn’t touch. He doesn’t like fruit. But, it was good too. I used a banana, a Fuji apple, some grapes, some pineapple, and some jarred cherries and mixed them together. Throw in a couple of tablespoons of strawberry-banana flavored yogurt and it was really good. 🙂
Tuesday’s nights meal, the one where I was going to try a new recipe, for Gail’s Savory Chicken Breasts, didn’t get made. We had to go out and find hardware for our website and ended up eating out. A post will follow soon about our restaurant experience. I hope to try Gail’s recipe soon. And, to stay on track the rest of the week with the menu.
Beau went to the vet on Tuesday for some shots and a checkup. A regularly scheduled thing, so nothing is wrong. When we got him in October, we took him in and he had apparently gotten every shot but a rabies shot at the shelter earlier in the year (Feb), when he had been rescued. I took him in and was hoping for a really good report, which we basically got. He’s healthy, but still really underweight. I was hoping he had gained 3 or 4 or maybe even 5 pounds in the four months we’ve had him. But, sigh, that’s not the case. The dog doesn’t want to eat and goes through phases where he hardly eats at all. He is just never hungry. They weighed him and the vet said he weighs…. 1.2 pounds more than in October. That’s it, just a pound more. I was SO disappointed. I’ve been working so hard to try to get him to eat and to give him snacks and just generally fatten him up. Apparently, I’m not a very good doggie mommy and have not succeeded. 😥
The good news about the computers all being down was that I got a ton of stuff done around the house! Most everything is clean, vacuumed, mopped, dusted, scrubbed and put away. Laundry is all done. I went through a pile of newspapers and mail that had stacked up. I read a bunch and watched a lot more TV (since I had the big TV in the den ALL to myself, and didn’t have to share the remote at all! Tim was in the office working on the computers and I got everything all to myself for once, hehehe!). I rather enjoyed my short break from the computer 🙂
The bad news about the computers all being down is that I haven’t been able to access my email, our website, my blog or visit most everyone else’s blogs. I feel so very behind! I will try to catch up over the next couple of days. There’s a chance that some of my email was lost, so if you emailed me and don’t hear back in a day or so, email me again 🙂

Whew! I was going through withdrawal! Glad to see you’re back!
Glad to hear that things were going well outside the computer world. Guess what I’ve been doing while you were gone…watching Battlestar Galactica. I only made it through the mini-series before hubby came home so now I have to wait until he leaves again or he decides to play catch up….
Glad to see you back. Looks like it’s been hectic!
Tim is da man!
Gasp, a song title! And rats, you used a good one too 🙂
I just might have to steal it sometime……
Glad you’re back…when I couldn’t access you yesterday I figured something had happened like that. Those wraps sound really good, minus the avacado! 🙂 Fruit salad sounds really good, too, minus the cherries! 🙂 thanks to Tim for all his hard work.
We need to combine Beau’s and Baker’s appetites…give them both a happy medium. In the first two months Baker lived with us he gained 10 pounds! The vet had us put him on a diet. It’s been two months since then, and he sure doesn’t look like he’s lost any weight (though he’s due to go in for a weight check). But the dog acts like he’s constantly starving! Not that he begs for table scraps or anything…he’s really good that way. But is always scratching at the door where his MilkBones are (he’s now only allowed 1 per day) and throwing his bowl around trying to get someone to feed him.
Aww, you’re a great doggie mommy! You’ve tried so many things and you’ve done your best…it’s not your fault that he’s not eating. He’s obviously a very happy, content doggie, other than his lack of appetite. I hope he starts eating better for you & gains some weight.
Yeah, Cam’s right — you’re not a bad mommy! You can’t MAKE him eat. Have you tried pouring gravy on his food? I guess you might be opposed to letting him lick the dishes and pots and pans clean before you wash them, huh? *g* That might put some weight on him!
