Hot and not in a good way

My dog, I think, is seriously mentally challenged. I have mentioned how he won't leave me alone, and believe it or not it's getting worse. But can someone explain to me why he won't eat or drink unless I am standing in the same room? I mean, I can leave a room with human food unattended for .03 seconds and he will eat anything and everything he can shove in his face...but when it comes to his food and water I have to be present to witness the beast at the trough. And the sound of him drinking water is enough to make me want to kill someone...it's like nails on a chalkboard. I have tried everything. I have tried putting it on the deck and I've tried leaving the room immediately after filling it up...he's like a damn camel, he won't drink for days...it was a battle of wills...and he won. It was either I win and he dies of dehydration or I give in and stand there and plug my ears. What an ass.

It is so hot and gross outside. Summer is the bane of my existence. I would give anything if we had a pool. No way am I going to take my big pregnant self to a public pool right now. Besides, there isn't one anywhere near me anyway. Mark my words: one of these days I am going to have a pool in my backyard. Yeah I know they are a lot of upkeep, blah blah, but that is what pool boys are for. I will gladly work that in my budget and give up things like food and clothes. Who needs food when I need to be skinny in a bathing suit anyway? That solves the clothes problem, too.

Oh- I put this on my Facebook this morning that I heard Spandau Ballet has reunited. Seriously, wtf? That ship has sailed. Like, a quarter of a century ago. Move on.

Lastly- I am married to a 14 year old boy. Today when Hub had to call AT&T he told the automated operator several, progressively worse, x-rated requests when she asked what he was calling for. She responded with "I don't understand your request."  Eventually she said "I am forwarding your request to an operator." That's when he lost his balls and hung up. I can just see this poor girl getting that fed into her headset.
