Dean has the most adorable little Boston Terrier that I’ve ever seen. So when he told me that he and Amy were going to breed her and asked me if I’d like to adopt a puppy from the litter I wasn’t quite sure what to say. Obviously I’d love to have one, but I have my hands full already! I guess the best thing for me to do is to ask more questions, like “what do you mean by adopt – are you offering one for free, or exactly how much money did you want?”

I really don’t know if they’re just trying to sell an unborn litter, or if they want to give me one for free. And in these economic times, I don’t know if I could afford to buy one!

This morning I was walking in a parking lot to my car and I saw a penny on the pavement near my car. It was a shiny penny, with the “tails” side up. As I bent down to pick it up (A penny saved is a penny earned!) I was remembering that a long time ago a friend told me that if you pick up a penny that is “tails up” it brings you bad luck, but if it is “heads up” then it means good luck. I wonder where that superstition originated? As for me, I think that any change found and picked up from the ground is good luck!

Well, after a long hard week at work, I’m glad the weekend is here! We’re going to go eat out at the local Ruby Tuesday for supper tonight. It will be a real treat because we don’t eat out very often. Money is tight, and the price of gas makes us think really hard about going anywhere. But, we are going to see a movie after the meal, so that makes me feel a little less guilty about going out “just to eat.”
We are joining a few friends that we haven’t seen for a while; it will be good to catch up with them. I hate that we get so busy that we don’t get together as often as we used to. We need to try harder to keep in touch with them. Friends and family are what make life worth living!

I can’t wait for the end up June to arrive. I will then be totally done with my two year commitment with my current cell phone provider. I’m so tired of their B.S. and have wanted to sign up with another provider for such a long while now.

The Internet will certainly come in handy in finding which provider will have all the things that I need. A chore like this one could take some time and time is money, neither which I have much of these days.

I am one of those people that waits until the very last minute to turn in my tax returns, so I have gotten used to the lines and the crowds at the Post Office come each April 15th. But I have to say that each year the number of people in the Post Office has been on the decline. I imagine that it is because more and more people are doing their taxes online.
