My Friday is not starting off that great. First off early this morning the fire smoke settled in town really heavy. Woke us up early, settled in my sinus's and by the time I did get up, I had a bit of a headache. Then I log into work and get an email from the co-worker that cannot seem to manage the simplest of tasks. As usual, something is missing from her request for me to place a purchase order with one of our manufacturer's. Seriously, who gives a ship to address with no ship to company name? Then right after I emailed her back for that info, our email system went down for a bit. I'm just glad it's only my half day Friday and the annoyances won't last all day :)
The little fair in town started up yesterday through tomorrow, so I think we'll go check it out this afternoon. I'm sure it won't be much, haha. It's like 3 blocks away, so we can walk over. Plus it's free. Unless we want to go to the rodeo tonight, that costs.
DH has been wanting nachos for dinner, but last time I tried making them I only had cheddar cheese and he wanted the more thicker melty type of cheese. I am out of ideas to make for dinner that doesn't involve turning the oven on. So, while at the grocery store yesterday I looked around and found some little cans of cheese dip by the chips. I just winged it with trying to make something resembling nachos. I browned some hamburger and green onions, added some taco seasoning, refried beans and a bit of water. Melted the cheese dip in a sauce pan. Put some chips down, layered some meat mixture then cheese sauce and repeated. DH said it was great and loved the cheese sauce. Next time I'll add some other ingredients - regular onions and tomatoes diced up. I'd like some sour cream, too.
Our neighbor across from us was in and out of his garage this morning and had his old dog outside their yard. As soon as the old girl saw DH and our dogs outside this morning she came running across the field to join in on the fun. She's such a sweet old dog and wants to play fetch so bad, but she breaths like she's about to keel over that we only throw it a short way once or twice. Then DH walked her home...neighbor had gone inside to take a phone call and normally she would just stay in their yard, but now that she knows us, she just takes off to over here LOL. At least he knows where to find her.
Be careful in the smoke. I'm glad you play with the old dog. I wonder if his owner pays attention to him. Now, I want nachos, and I don't eat nachos.
ReplyDeleteoh yes, she is a very well loved old dog. She's usually inside their fence when she is out, except when the neighbor is outside in back (where is garage doors face us) working on stuff, then she usually just stays around there with him, even if he goes in the house for a minute. But, now she thinks we are a good place to visit. LOL
DeleteI have never owned a dog. I want one badly but given my lifestyle, it would be cruel to leave such a loving animal alone for hours and hours every day. One day, when I fully retire, I am going to adapt from a shelter. Such unconditional love!
ReplyDeleteI don't think we would have dogs either, if we weren't home all day with them. Our neighbors across the way have it pretty good. The guy is home all day for 2 weeks (then gone to work for 2 weeks) and the wife works 2 blocks away and can easily come home at lunch and let the dog out when her hubby isn't home. Our neighbors at the property both work all day (and have 4 dogs!) but they have a doggy door and a big fenced in pen area, so the dogs go in and out whenever they want (but still not much attention all day, of course)
