I can’t have a pet where I live because they aren’t allowed but I used to have pets all the time. My favorite pet was part shepherd, husky and Labrador. His name was Shannon and he was the best dog in the world. We all loved him tremendously.

I came across a great site for pet lovers, called ZooToo.com and they have several promotions to help pet shelters and rescue groups around the US. This is a place that pet lovers can go to and meet other pet lovers. At this Pet Social Network they can learn more about pets and ways to help their pets.

You can start a journal, write reviews, view products for pets and make some new friends while you’re at it. You can add pictures of your pets and go shopping for them and make recommendations for different pet products. I signed up and added my Shannon’s picture. It’s the one you see at the beginning of this post. I really miss my “Shanoo the Killer Dog”. He wasn’t a killer he was the biggest sweetheart you’d ever want to meet.

I drink coffee every so often. I’m not one who has to have cups upon cups of coffee to function during the day. Soda is a totally different story. I can’t function without my Diet coke. I do have a coffee maker. It’s a Senseo and uses those little coffee pods. I really like it and it’s so easy to use.

What kind of coffee maker do you have. Is it one of those espresso machines? Is it fancy? Or is it plain and bare bones? My Senseo has an insert that allows you to use espresso pods but I haven’t used that one. I’ve never even tried espresso. I do love French vanilla cappuccino though.

When you grocery shop do you use a list or do you remember everything you need? When I shop, if I don’t use a list, I forget lots of things. My memory is getting terrible. I blame it on age but I think it’s because I have so much on my mind that I forget.

I don’t have this trouble at work. I can remember what I have to do and when I have to do it but when I’m not at work I’m a complete scatterbrain. I’ll think of things that I have to do on my way home from work and just a couple miles away from work I’ll forget all about that and go right home. I’ll walk in the door then remember what I had to do. Or I’ll remember it when I’m about to climb into bed.

Anyone have any good memory pills? I sure could use them!

I don’t really like to go out to stores to do my shopping. I usually have trouble finding what I’m looking for or don’t like the selection of things. I’m partial to shopping online. It saves gas and keeps you from running from store to store to find the best buy. All it takes is a few clicks to find what you want online. I’m addicted to online shopping.

Sometimes you even get lucky and don’t have to pay shipping. There are a few places like that but most times I have to pay shipping. I really don’t mind that if I saves me the hassle of going to several stores to find what I want.

Do you do a lot of online shopping?

Please be careful when you’re grocery shopping. Look where you’re going. Pay attention and don’t ram your cart into people. That’s just rude. I’ve lost count of how many times people have rammed their carts into the back of me because they were so busy either talking to someone on their cell phones or they were too busy looking at the stuff on the shelves and not paying attention.

I really don’t like going grocery shopping and coming home with cuts and bruises. So please.. wake up and pay attention. Oh.. another thing… don’t stop your cart in the middle of the aisle and walk away from it to get something down the aisle. Either park it on the side of the aisle or take the cart with you. Thank you! end rant
