I took Elvis to the vet today for his check up and shots. Several of my friends recommended her to me. We loved her and her staff. Her office is in an old house that has been renovated. It is located down a country road on some acreage with barns. There was another cute country house near by. It looks like she lives there on the property. It was obvious that she loves animals. There were bird houses and feeders in the yard. My kind of place!

I watched American Idol tonight. They are down to 12 guys and 12 girls. Looks like a pretty good mix of talent. I know a lot of it is a bunch of hype, but I still like to watch it. Besides, Ryan Seacrest is such a cutie.

Well, I'm glad Valentine's day is over. It was just another day around here. I worked until 7:00, then came home and ate left over pizza from lunch. The man must have eaten a sandwich or something. The atmosphere was obviously not romantic....no further comment.
Oh well, he's probably relieved that he's 'off the hook' as far as doing anything for holidays is concerned.

We talk about the dog and that's about it, because I just don't have the energy or inclination to even try to discuss any real issues. We both know the score anyway, so what's the use?
Nothing will change and I just get even more upset. It's a waste of energy! I'm afraid I have become rather cynical about matters of the heart. How sad!
I need to concentrate my energy in a more useful way, such as getting all my tax stuff ready, then working on getting the house ready for my daughter and her family when they come to visit at the end of March.

On a more positive note, here are a few interesting tidbits I read today:

'A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes'. by Hugh Downs

'The way in which you endure that which you endure is more important that the crisis itself'.
by Sam Rutigaliano

'A cheerful heart is good medicine'' Proverbs 17:22

Take care and be happy ya'll

I like to celebrate holidays. He sort of 'opts out' and either doesn't participate or makes a feeble effort so he won't be in the dog house.
So, I just do my thing with my friends and family. That way I'm not too disappointed when he doesn't make the effort.
A regular 'Scrooge'!
