Ahh…I forgot that I finished Breaking Dawn today!!!

What a good series that was! I wonder if she will be writing anymore books. I’ll have to check the website.

So, I’m sad because I’m done listening to Bella and Edward, but I cannot wait for the movie!!

I have been wanting to make more “goops” for Topaz for a few days now. I was going to make them last night, but with the election excitement I didn’t get around to it…so we’ve been improvising on his meals.

So I started as soon as I got home from work and I made 4 different goops. These ones have meat, veggie, fruit and supplement in them. well, all but one has meat and supplements. One is just veggies and fruit. I can always add meat to that one later.

The first one I made has canned pumpkin, carrot, celery, spinach, garlic, apple, and pork, plus the supplements. I gave them this one for dinner…it’s a little thick, I added 1/4 cup water to the other ones…but they both LOVED it…I think the garlic makes the difference!!

The 2nd one I made has spinach, celery, broccoli, cabbage, canned pumpkin, garlic, 2 apples, pork and supplements.

The 3rd one is mostly cabbage and broccoli, but also has canned pumpkin, garlic, an apple and a pear in it. This one is strictly veggie/fruit…no meat. I had a lot of cabbage to get rid of so I just made this. I may add meat to it when we give it to them.

The 4th is cabbage, broccoli, a lot of canned pumpkin, 2 apples, garlic, pork and the supplements.

There has been a lot of discussion lately about food for epi dogs and a question asking what people feed and what they do differently than others do to keep the seizures at bay.

I know we’re *very* lucky with Topaz right now. He’s gone over 190 days seizure free, and that’s amazing!! I hate to say that I feel blessed (just because I don’t like that saying…another blog…) but I truly feel blessed right now by his progress and how long we’ve been able to keep the seizures at bay.

What to do we differently? Nothing that I know of. I just know we, like so many other people who are owned by epileptic dogs, have done and are doing everything we possibly can for Topaz.

Oh and he’s been doing so well. I think that the pancreatitis was like a blessing (ack that word again) in disguise! He’s turned completely around as far as how he’s acting. He’s our old, crazy, hyper, boofie Topaz! My husband drove me to work today and when he picked me up he brought the dogs and Topaz was in heaven! He was wagging his tail the whole time!! The last car ride he went on he barely moved!! And he was just SO happy today…chasing cars in the truck like he normally/used to do. It was amazing and I was so happy that he was happy!

I hope he continues to feel better and that we finally have control over the seizures. I know at any time he could have one, but he’s just been doing SO WELL lately1!

OBAMA WON!!!!!!

That is all. hehe

The hubbs and I went and voted around 3pm today. I wanted to get there after lunch, but before people were getting off work. We had little to no line and everything moved pretty quickly.

DH had a bit of an incident while we were voting though, it was really warm in the school and the table thing he was voting on was moving and I think the light was moving as well and he just started to not feel very good…vertigo I think…so he sat down and finished, but he still wasn’t feeling well and took a little bit to get his ballot all filled out. Then he lost his sheet and was kind of wandering around like he didn’t know what to do! I felt horrible for him!!! But once we got everything straight and were out of there and got some fresh air, he was much, much better.

We are all in watching the results and I am really hoping Obama wins! My husband is getting really worked up over it all and getting too upset too early…there’s still hours left to go!!! I put this neat little widget up here for now. I’ll probably remove it later.

I bought the Twilight Soundtrack tonight. I heard a few songs on it and they were ok, so I just bought it. I cannot wait for the movie!!!! 16 more days! I probably won’t see it on opening night, but maybe that next week. I need to see if I can get the hubbs to come with me…or else, maybe my nephew, he read the books. I think my sister would go too. It’s about Vampires…that’s kind of her thing. LOL

Nothing new on the scrappy front. Haven’t had the time and I have a TON of freebie kits and kits I bought to sort through on my external. I wish it was easier to connect the external to my laptop, it has more RAM and a faster processor and would be much better for scrappy things. Maybe I’ll work it out or we can get a smaller external and I can copy some things there.

I’m having a problem with installing my fonts from the desktop onto the laptop. I’ve googled, I’ve tried about 3 different ways and I just cannot get them to install right. I guess I’ll have to post on a forum and see if anyone there knows. Dumb!

I think this is all for tonight…Go Obama!!

Well tomorrow is the day…All this election BS will finally be over…the news reports, the commercials, the phone calls…and we’ll know who the next President of the United States will be. I am off work, so the hubbs and I will be voting fairly early I believe…since they are expecting long lines at the polls.

I honestly don’t care who anyone is voting for, everyone has their own political view and opinions and that’s great! Just do make sure that you go out and vote tomorrow. This is an important election and I’ll probably be up half the night to see who the winner is.

Tonight I made a spaghetti for dinner. lol That’s what I call it anyway…”a spaghetti”. lol

I make it with turkey meat, italian is the best, but tonight we had regular…lean turkey…a can of sliced mushrooms…big can, the hubbs and I love the mushroom…a green pepper…fresh from the farmer’s market!…garlic salt…and a bottle of Classico “Traditional Sweet Basil” pasta sauce. Oh, and wheat spaghetti noodles.

I break the noodles and get them going, or the water boiling for them anyways. I cut the pepper up and started cooking it, the mushrooms and some garlic salt in olive oil…added the meat and cooked that until the meat was all good and cooked. Then I dumped the bottle of sauce in and let it simmer…drain the noodles and then put the noodles into a large rectangle glass pan, dump the sauce on…mix and add mozz cheese to the top and bake in the oven for a bit. YUM!!

It’s delish!! Tonight I also added a few leaves of spinach…just to see if it changed anything. I dunno if it did, but it was extra yummy tonight!! And it’s one of the hubbs’ favorite meals too. Plus being that it’s turkey meat, has the extra veggies and all, and it’s got wheat noodles…it’s not all that bad for you.

Sometimes I make garlic bread from leftover hamburger/hotdog buns or something, but tonight I didn’t. I could have though, because we did have some hotdog buns…but I didn’t feel like it. We didn’t need it anyway…the spaghetti was plenty!!

Tomorrow I have to make some veggie goop, and mix it with meat and get Topaz’s food ready to go for him. We had bought some Veggies from our food girl that were by Oma’s…VEGGIE 5 WAY( Olewo Carrot, Green bean, Yellow Squash, Zucchini, and Garlic) 2#bag…and the dogs really seem to like that. I think the garlic had the most to do with it, it was really smelly…not bad, just smelled like food.

I’m hoping to get a big batch of food ready for him and then freeze some individual packages that are already weighed out and everything. Easy for feeding and everything. I have 2 packages of pork chops ready to go into the mix as well as some chicken breasts for the next batch.

He’s just been doing so well, I want him to continue to do so! So we’re doing everything we can for him.

 

Men…they don’t get it! LOL

I know you were all concerned about my ringtone dilemma with my new phone…well today, I finally figured out a way to get custom ringtones onto my blackberry. And…I am soooo excited about it!!

Now I can have any snippet of any song I want!

Unfortunately, I needed to download a program to rip the songs from the CD into MP3′s…of course before that, I had to burn the songs from iTunes on a disk…and then I downloaded a program to MAKE the ringtones. 

It was kind of funny when I did my first ringtone, it warned me while saving that it puts a voiceover…like a watermark onto the sound file. well I saved and listened and it cracked my shit up…so no way around paying for the program.

BUT….I can now make my own ringtones!! WOOO HOOO!!!

So I am pretty happy finally. I hate answering a phone blind…and yeah, I can look at who’s calling, but it’s so much better to know BEFORE even getting to the phone who’s calling!! And now I can do that again!

The eBay plan this weekend ended up being bunk…our site was down and needed renewing. But we’re all back up and running. I’ll post a link after we get a few things listed.

Other than that, I didn’t really do much this weekend…which is good and bad because i have a lot to do!! LOL

Oh well.
