Time flies when you're...sleeping

I really don't have much to post at all. I got a ferret today. He's 1 and his name is Sly. He's cool. I want a Weenie Dog at the Animal Shelter but they already have an application out on her. If I am meant to have her, they won't be able to get in touch with the other person's references or somehow it will fall through with them. But the way these people move (at the Shelter), they'll probably just keep the puppy there until they CAN get in touch with the other person. Let me tell ya--these people aren't the smartest. They called one person I had listed. They left a message for him but he didn't call back. I went to my office and asked EVERYONE why they didn't give him the message and everyone swears no one called. I asked the woman if she called my second reference. She said she hadn't tried. Is multitasking a difficult thing? Is it not possible to call BOTH references to speed up the process? Why does she have to wait until she gets in touch with one before she calls the other? I spoke to her this morning and she told me she had 1 application before mine that she was trying to complete before she moved on to mine. Geeze. I don't know how she managed to call ONE of my references b/c at 5:00 today she wasn't finished with the first. NO damn wonder it takes DAYS for you to hear from them. I filled out the application online yesterday and they JUST got to it today. At this rate, I *might* know something by Friday. If it were me, I would call all of the references, on all of the applications. If I didn't get an answer, I would leave a message or put a mark by it indicating I needed to call back. So what if two people want the same dog. So what if I finish the second's application before the first's. That doesn't mean I have to give the dog to the second person. What it means is that if things fall through with the first, I already have #2 complete so I don't have to waste even more time. Now, I would have a time limit. If I tried to get in touch with #1's reference for say, three days, and had no luck, I would move on to the next person. It's not fair for these animals to have to stay locked up because the people that run the place are morons. Anyway, I am trying pretty darn hard to get this puppy. Like I said, if I am meant to have her, I will. I pray the other people have changed their mind or the shelter can't reach their references and give up. This puppy melts my heart every time I see her. Yeah, I went to see her twice. Do you think those other people have? NO. So......

Okay, I know that had NOTHING to do with losing weight/getting fit. It does kind of tie in to it....I have NO patience with things. NONE. When I want something, I want it NOW. I want the Weenie Dog NOW. I want to be thin NOW. But you know what, I guess it's something that's going to take a little time. If I do end up with the puppy, I can happily right back and say hey, look, I was persistent and I didn't give up and I got what I wanted. Then I can tie that in to my goals--hey I am persistent, I didn't give up, and look, I got the body I wanted. If I don't get the dog I guess I can say hey, sometimes we fail at things but we have to keep going....

I took another long nap today. So did the baby. She's in her bed fussing (after eating and having a bath). I am in here about to scream. I'm going to take a bath then hit the bed...assuming she stops whining.

I managed to drink about 32 ounces of water today. That's progress I tell you. I doubled my intake from yesterday. Maybe I can double today's intake tomorrow and make it to 64 ounces!
