I was ROBBED!!!!!
Yo! Ya'll ... so I went out with my friends to Bowlmor Lanes down in the Union Square area and I guess while I was paying for my shoe rentals, I put down my jacket and scarf. Well apparently I forgot to pick them back up and didn't notice that I didn't have my jacket or scarf until we were done playing. Well when I finally realized that I had lost my so-named items I ran upstairs to the front desk to ask them if perhaps someone had managed to turn it in. Well much to my shock/horror/dismay the staff was COMPLETELY ALOOF AND UNHELPFUL!!!!! They didn't even really bother to look, they just said "nobody turned anything in" but they didn't even go look in the office to see if anybody had! I was horrified by their lack of concern. The thing that bothered me most is that, my jacket is a one of a kind Nike track jacket and that was my ONE and ONLY CASHMERE SCARF!!!! I have a million pashmina scarves that I could lose and then replace without batting an eyelash but THAT scarf cost me $120!!!! Well ... I'm not "supposed" to worship the worldly things in this world. I figure though ... that whoever felt like they needed to take my scarf must have NEEDED it more than I did. Although if you're in Bowlmor Lanes paying $13 per game/per person and paying $11/drink you probably can AFFORD a nice scarf. But that's not for me to judge and I should just forgive and forget. But I am going to file a BBB complaint against Bowlmor Lanes for their SERIOUS lack of concern for their patrons. The good news is ... I called Bowlmor Lanes this morning and apparently someone had turned in my jacket ... but alas, no scarf. Oh well ... I guess you can't have it all! *^_^*

Ronooter

Hahahahaha...I haven't finished reading this whole thing but I love the final line, "Smooshed together, they would be the perfect dog."LOL. Ronooter.Or may Scootie. Scootonie maybe? Rooter?"
Hahahaha ain't it the truth though? If he was more independent like Scooter and less ADD about following instructions on walks like Ronny ... I really would have a perfect dog! But alas, there is no such thing hahahahaa .... I love my little boo-boos though! I don't think I'd be so irritated if I didn't!

Desperate Desires
OK - We all know that I love my 2 dogs very much ... but sometimes they can be such a burden... I mean, I feel like I got myself into something I really didn't realize would be so much work. I thought having a dog would be awesome and they're cute and great companions! But for crying out loud! It's so much harder when it's just YOU. Owning a dog(s) is so much easier when there are 2 people involved.
I have to be honest ... 9 out of 10 times, Ronny's the one getting yelled at and not Scooter. He probably thinks that I don't love him ... which just isn't true. I love that dog to death ... but he also whines me to death! I think Scooter understands me better which is probably why he doesn't get into nearly as much trouble as Ronny. He knows that I want to just be left alone sometimes and he's cool with it. Ronny on the other hand, can't handle being ignored and it's not that I'm really ignoring him ... I just want some time to myself without the dogs in my face! I work all day and I'm tired when I get home ... I just want to relax and it's hard with dogs jumping up and down and trying to slam their noses into your face, which is rather painful! And which also, by the way, after a long day of work and you come home and a dog hits you in the face with his nose and causes you much pain can also elicit quite an angry reaction from me. My patience has already been worn thin by the length of the day. I feel like Ronny just doesn't get that and he really "dogs" you when you get home. I usually will immediately retreat to my room and then he hangs right at the threshold of my room. He knows that he's not allowed into my room so he hangs around right at the threshold which I don't like. But I can't say anything because he "technically" is NOT in the room.
Scooter seems to almost intuitively know that once I retire into my room that it's just best to leave me alone. Sure, he hangs around the outside of the room but he's not right in front of the room, pacing back and forth and whining with that horrible windy nose whine, that Ronny is so famous for, ALL DAY LONG!!! It's so DARN IRRITATING!!! And then yesterday ... he was hanging outside the room like he usually does whining while I was watching Sex and the City and eating my dinner and I was just minding my own business when I suddenly feel something fuzzy brush my right leg (I was wearing shorts). I look down and lo, who do I see but Ronny staring up at me. Ronny must have seen the glint of danger flashing in my eyes coz the minute I opened up my mouth he took off like a bullet running out of the room (which also means that he realizes that he's done something wrong, so why do it right?). Naturally, I had to chase him out of the room and yell at him so that he would know that he'd done something wrong. If I didn't he would think that it's okay to continue that sort of behavior. I don't know how he managed to convince himself that it was okay to come into the room, even though I NEVER gave him permission. He just decided that it was all right and that sitting at my feet and begging was the right decision. I don't know how such a smart dog can be THAT silly sometimes! It's beyond my comprehension.
During this entire fiasco ... Scooter never once stepped inside my room because he knew he didn't have permission to do so. Either that or he was waiting to see what would happen to Ronny if he went in ... either way, he was definitely being the smarter of the two. The other thing that Ronny does that really just irritates the crap outta me is he barks like a maniac! He knows that he shouldn't be barking ... but it's like he'll stare right at you and bark ... even though you've already told him "NO!" I don't know what he's thinking ... but NO is NO. He still hasn't gotten it, the minute you tell Scooter to stop barking ... he quits. No questions. No ifs, ands or buts... he just quits. Not Ronny though ... he'll still try to bark on the low, in YOUR FACE, like he thinks you won't hear him just coz he brought down the volume, even though you're staring him dead in the eye!
Scooter is much more of an independent spirit and I think I appreciate that alot more than Ronny. Ronny is just too needy! I've never been able to deal well with overly needy people let alone a dog. I was walking the boys in the rain the other day and Scooter stops to pee and in that short amount of time (couldn't have been more than 10 seconds), that it takes for Scooter to pee Ronny starts whining!!! If you tell Scooter to go away, he goes away! If you tell Ronny to go away ... he hovers and circles, hoping that 5 seconds later you'll change your mind! The puppy store really must have done a number on him and his psyche ... granted I'm sure I spoiled and coddled him more than I really should have when he was a puppy, so I am also to blame for his current state of mind I'm sure. Whatever, I just had to complain about this because no sooner had I told Leslie (my roomie) and Michael (Leslie's boyfriend) about what Ronny did yesterday then when Mike got up from eating his dinner he turned around and caught Ronny with all FOUR PAWS in the room AGAIN!!!! I mean for crying out loud! I could understand ... hovering over the threshold, he could have lost his balance and 2 paws landed inside the room ... but all 4 paws?! THAT is in no way ... a coincidence ... he put himself in the room and contrary to his ridiculous logic, that is NOT logic, IT IS NOT OKAY!!!!!!!!
Ugh! Even as I type ... Ronny is hovering, pacing right outside my room ... waiting. It's horrifle, I tell ya ... he's like the stalker you have to let stalk you. It's infuriating ... you can't get him to quit and you can't get a restraining order. I just want Ronny to be more independent ... to stop looking to me for so much acceptance and acknowledgment. Scooter has a lot to learn from Ronny still ... but I think Ronny has just as much to learn from Scooter. Smooshed together, they would be the perfect dog. *sigh*

STILL in Limbo
Wow, when my guy said he wanted a "break" I didn't know how long it would be ... but he said it the night of April 30th and today is what? May 9th??? We still don't have any resolution ... granted it's partially my fault. Yes ... I'm admitting that it's my fault ... I felt like he said we were on a break, none of which was outlined. I didn't know what the "break" meant ... were we still together? Were we not? I went out to a club and met a guy who made me feel pretty despite how sad and ugly I felt. I wasn't flirting with him in front of my guy to make him jealous ... I was just being "friendly" although that is more than not misconstrued as "flirting". In any case, at the end of the night when my guy asked me whether or not I gave him my number, I told a small, white lie ... I said that i gave him a fake number. THen on sunday while I was headed out to the park to walk my dogs he happened to call and say that he was in the area. I told him I'd be at the park and that he was welcome to come walk the dogs with me for a little while if he wanted ... but it was totally informal ... not a date or anything.
Come monday my guy pulls me aside into the breakroom and tells me he wants to get back together and I was sooooo happy but I felt like it was important for me to tell him the truth and so I told him that I went out with this guy but nothing happened. Nothing really did happen and nothing would have because I'm totally hung up on my guy! I haven't really seen him all week and I'm dying ... I miss him so much. It's ridiculous. Anyways, after I tell him this piece of information, he gets all pissy and walks away! Now we're back at square one and he doesn't know if he needs to do this by himself ... he feels like that was a sign from GOD slapping him in his face saying that he doesn't need to be in a relationship ... but I think that a relationship can ONLY strengthen you if you both want to be in it and support eachother. I definitely support what he wants to do with his life, give it direction and I DEFINITELY support him getting his walk with Christ right. I don't support him stringing me along like this while he takes his time deciding. I've decided though after that random meeting with the stranger that I am definitely NOT ready to date anyone else because I don't want to date anyone else except my guy. I miss our Trader Joe's runs and our cooking together and experimenting with recipes, playing XBOX together and just hanging out. I felt so secure when I was with him and now ... I feel kind of lost. I've been trying to get my mind off of him and what's been going on by hanging out with Robert and friends but it always just kinda wanders back at the end of the night when I'm alone again ... thankfully I have the pups to keep me company. God knows I need their support as well. They really are my angels from heaven ... sent to keep me in good spirits. I love my pups so much, they irritate me tremendously sometimes but I love them more than anything else! They're the only 2 boys I can really count on that will NEVER leave me and will love me unconditionally. Well, another day ... I gotta get ready to go to work ... it's dreary outside and I missed my morning workout ... my back feels a little irritated and inflammed ... I'm not trying to aggravate it more. Maybe i'll make it to the gym during lunch or something ... I guess we'll see. Ciao for now!

Getting Perspective
Taking a "break", what does that really mean anyway? Doesn't that mean that your broken up? If you're a couple and you take a break ... what are the rules? And how long should you reside in this "break" stage. I mean if you're on a break and you're not really together doesn't that just mean the same thing as saying your "broken up"?
Whatever, I don't know how long I should stay in a "break" stage any way... at what point should you walk away and move on? How long should you wait? I mean they always say that if you really love someone, you should let them go. I put myself on the line and I feel like I'm being burned for it again. Of course it doesn't help that I'm watching Sex and the City right now and I feel tremendously like Carrie. It's ridiculous... and then yesterday I went to No Malice Palace again to hang out with a mutual friend and I was just out having fun and soooo many guys hit on me last night and my ego was really soaring ... not that it didn't already, but it's just nice to have that much male attention you know? But I would have rather had that attention from my "break" guy. But he didn't want it and he let me go ... so ... we're at an impasse and that's that.
It's just interesting that he made this conscious decision and now he's jealous or upset or sad about it ... but I really just feel like he doesn't have any right to be that way and he can't blame me because he totally did this to himself. All right, I'm going to stop airing dirty laundry now ... cheers!
