And The Windows Of Heaven Will Open Up And Pour Down Some Dog Food.

Whew.

Today I had my 3rd exam. Friday I have my final.

Yes. I just said that on Friday, I have my final exam. They split up the classes into 8 week sessions- and this just happens to be week 8. Or hell week. as I would have called it if 2nd year students had made me run naked on a slip-and-slide doused in olive oil.

not that that ever happened.

My computer hates me. HATES me. The flitting in and out of conscientiousness has progressed to periods of heels in the sand where it just wants to sleep. or die. I'm lucky to get it up and running, and then I swear the tower gives this big *sigh* and then shuts itself down. My computer is a drama-queen. Go figure, but that's too many cooks in my kitchen.

Besides that, I really can't complain about life. When there is a need, it's met. Seriously. Let me give a really fine example that took place this weekend. My parents were in town visiting (conveniently the weekend before a test *cough* ;) and they took me shopping.

I retract the last statement.

While we were out, I mentioned that I needed to buy some dog food for Oso because we hadn't fed him in a few days.

All you animal activists settle on down and change your underpants. We fed him. Just scraps and what-not, but I'm sure that Purina has a lot more knowledge of a dog's nutritional needs than I do. And they market well. And charge accordingly, if I may add...

Anyhoo, we were in Ross shopping and I mentioned (more for my sake than Oso's) that I was going to run next door to the Petco and get him some food. But I got distracted by a phone call to a friend where I hid in the back, left hand corner of Ross behind some wicker furniture to pass the time. If you don't know me, I don't do clothing shopping. If you've ever seen me dress myself, there is your confirmation. I hate shopping. I said it.

Back to the story.

So, I forgot to get the food. Next stop was Sam's club. (I like shopping there. Especially with my parents.) My mom asks where the dog food is that I went to go get (when I was absent for a period of time getting said dog food), and I told her I forgot. * insert mean glance from Grandma who happens to have a soft spot for Oso*

We get out of the car and head up to the Sam's storefront. Guess what is spilled in a huge pile in the Sam's parking lot? Dog food.

Yes. I. Did.

We went on into Sam's. Did our shopping. conveniently took a small box along with us, and scooped up the food in the parking lot.

Yes. I. Did.

The best part was that my mom called it Manna From Heaven.

HA! That is awesome. I am going to go to the store for some diamonds and see if I can get the same thing to happen?

Now when do we get some picture updates? :)

Mommy said...

HA. That is GREAT.
And dream on, Emily. You know if its a pair of earings - you'll go ahead and lose ONE.

Dude, that totally sounds like something you would do! But hey, whatever keeps Oso alive and well! I would only worry if you were training to be a vet tech. Poor Oso!

Hey I like how you consider yourself "A sucker for animals of any kind." Apparently there is no set criteria you must meet to earn that title as evident of your confessed neglect.
