two things that are bothering me
1. i went a bit wild on eBay yesterday, bidding on something that i really wanted. but it was an impetuous decision, and easily went into "i should discuss this with my spousal unit" territory. well, i won it. and now i'm sweating bullets, planning out the equivalent christmas present for frijolita. do they make gold-encrusted diamond earrings?
2. pooping has become quite the obsession for me. seems like trotter p won't "go" in the morning until he's eaten about four bites of kibble, and then waited for his father to run in the house to do something. then he (trotter p) does his thing, and keeps on eating.
i can't get him to go first thing in the morning -- we pee and then want to play. i stay outside with him for 10 minutes, and after the initial crouch (and there's nothing cuter than a puppy squatting to pee with his favorite toy du jour in his mouth) it's playtime. and the funny thing is, i know he has to poop, because he does this thing -- i hear it's close to what toddlers do when they're tired but don't want to go to sleep -- wherein he jumps into overdrive and just runs spasmodically through the yard.
he knows he has to poop. i know he has to poop. and yet, he waits until he gets in the garage and eats a bite or two.
i'm not angry at him -- accidents, the "dummies' guide to raising a puppy" tells me, are more a fault of the owners' inability to pay sufficient attention to the dog. which is fine; i'll take the blame. but i'm just pissed off that i can't seem to find that trick that will get trotter p to (as the books put it) "eliminate" on my schedule.

“The book is not readable because of the overuse of adverbs.”
A list of some of the more notable one-star book reviews from amazon.com:
Mrs. Dalloway (1925)
Author: Virginia Woolf
“The only good thing to say about this “literary” drivel is that the person responsible, Virginia Woolf, has been dead for quite some time now. Let us pray to God she stays that way.”

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Casey Dick ...will start for Arkansas Saturday, coach Houston Nutt said.
The red shirt is coming off, Nutt said Sunday, because Dick has impressed his coaches with his passing in practices and has shown the skills to move the offense.
Robert Johnson started the first seven games. Nutt said he would take the blame for Johnson's struggles.
"It's not that I'm saying it's Johnson's fault," Nutt said. "Johnson has done some good things and he's still needed."
Nutt said Dick deserves a chance. Nutt said Dick has thrown against the Arkansas defense all season in practice "and has done very, very well."
"Dick has good instincts," Nutt said. "It's hard to explain. He just has 'it.' Dick just seems to have a knack for making some plays and we're going to give him an opportunity."
