A Day in the Life of Jessie Paterson

Monday- Wake up when I feel like it
Shower when necessary (including drip dry)
Call husband, apologize, make nice, even re-friend one another on facebook
Dress and schedule household goods delivery (YEAH that means my clothes and shoes will be here Thursday)
Drive to Blue Springs. I have a goal in mind here. First return pants to gap. They were way too big. Of course Gap has a big sale. So, I spend too much money. Way too much money.
Proceed to PetCo which is next door to the Gap. Buy expensive dog diapers ($17/12pk) Buy new kong toys. Spend $58 on dog junk. Putting the Gap and PetCo next door to one another is bad news for my checkbook.
Then I go to Gordmans. This is where I buy new pjs for myself and new beds for the dogs. This was over $100. Man, I must really love my dogs.
After finishing and getting slightly lost in this area I come upon a Panera bread. I decide to dine there for lunch. It was delicious. If you haven't tried it go eat there.
My day in the city is still not finished. I go to the Vintage Record store. Which doesn't have very many vintage things at all but rather used Dvds and a large assortment of comic books and anime. I buy the Office Season 2 and leave Blue Springs.
I got home and was relaxing with a glass of wine when I realized. Well, I realized when Dad reminded me it was my night to cook dinner and I needed to use the ground beef. So, I drove to the grocery store and got the items I needed for Ground Beef n' Biscuits.

Ground Beef n' Biscuits
I got the recipe off all recipes and included the link for it. It was quick and easy and delicious. I added an extra vegetable, corn, to the recipe and used tomato paste + water instead of tomato sauce. Everything else I followed closely. My family enjoyed the recipe. I think it should cook slightly longer than the time originally alloted. I let mine cook 25-27 min rather than only 20. This is just so the biscuits will be less doughy.  Now what meal would be complete without a glass of wine (White Zif)? It actually went horribly with the beef but wine is wine. We also enjoyed a movie while we ate, UP.

So anyways, in the future I will not give you my life play by play. I will just recall the highlights. Now you understand why. My life is not that exciting.
Oh, I also took photos of my dogs today: RIGBY

A Lazy Friday

So, I had a pass and did not have to go to work today. It was nice. I slept in. I ate pizza. I played with my dogs. I watched a movie and it was so good. I watched Blindside, the one Sandra Bullock one the Academy Award for. It was a wonderful feel good sports movie. I usually hate movies that win awards. But there are a few exceptions. I love Juno and that one best screenplay a few years ago and I love Blindside and Sandra Bullock won best actress. It just was so appropriate. There was no sexual innuendo and I only remember a few bad words. Probably less than 5 bad words. I highly recommend it, especially if you love football. It is also based on a true story.
Today I also got my haircut. The usual Korean shop I go to, Riahn, lost their best employee. My favorite guy with the blonde hair isn't there anymore. I was so disappointed. This really gorgeous lady with long hair cut my hair. It was not exactly what I wanted but maybe I will grow to like it. Between that and the 2 zits on my face I wasn't feeling particularly confident today. However, I still went to dinner at my friend Jaenelle's house. She and her husband had several couples over. I was the only one that didn't have my husband there. Dennis was bowling instead. So, I went alone and actually had a great time. I didn't feel awkward at all being be myself. I think everyone had a good time. We ate good food. Jaenelle made bulgogi and spicy chicken with sweet potatoes. If I get the recipes I will certainly post them because it was delicious. It was great and then we played a party game, Buzz Word. Our team, the girls, won. I walked home with Jason and Holly. Jason walks so fast that I wasn't really able to enjoy the scenery. Oh well. Maybe next time.
I came home and took the dogs out on a walk. While we were waiting for the elevator Rigby got a piece of gum stuck to her face. So I had to cut the fur around her face. She hates it. As our Korean dog groomer says "she very much hate." So, she looks kinda silly but I can see her face better. I am not sure if it makes her feel any better but she had alot of gum stuck around her snout and eyes. My dogs keep my life exciting. Right now Charley has almost all the toys on the couch so Rigby can't get them. He doesn't like to share. She spends all her time trying to jump up on the couch so she can get a toy or play with him. I hate letting her up here because sometimes she pees on the couch. Also, I want her to learn how to jump up on the couch by herself without having me pick her up every time.  She just finally got the rope toy from Charley and of course he took it back. Most the time they don't play very nice. I am not sure why. I guess Charley just wants to show that he is the alpha male. Rigby will run in his cage and get toys. Then Charley steals them and jumps up on the couch. They are such a funny pair. I sure hope they get along with Wicket and Chewy. I should probably get to bed soon. Tomorrow I am going to Camp Casey for a pet CPR and first aid class taught by the Red Cross. It should be handy knowledge. Especially if I decide to get into dog training and grooming when I get back to the states. On a side note I got some funky sunglasses and a Mr. Roger's sweater today. I am looking forward to wearing them with my Korean school girl hair cut.
