Friday night in a quiet house

My husband is in SW MO, at the Maple Leaf festival.  My girls are in Branson, MO with my parents.  I am here.

I could have gone to either place.   I was invited to both.  The problem is, I can't afford a kennel for Hawkeye, and he can't go with us.  Plus, from now until Christmas, I am "on call" to work on Saturday, and I never know until Friday afternoon.  Anyway, here I am, dog sitting.

I picked up Sadie at Mom's house on the way home, and the dogs are having a blast, barking, running, and sniffing.  Pretty much what I do when I have a friend over.  Sadie will "speak" quicker than Hawkeye, but he will "shake hands" while she looks at me like I have worms crawling out of my eyes.

I'm glad for the company, really.  I'm lonely around here.  I have big plans for tomorrow, though. Yeah, tomorrow brings great plans.  Those plans will last a bit over an hour.  Then what?  Yeah, I'll be posting a lot this weekend.  I'm lonely.

*sniff sniff* Is anyone out there?

As Depeche Mode would say: "enjoy the silence".  Why not call that one male escort you told me you liked?  Jim? John?  Can't remember the name (not that names matter with hot 22 yr. old men for hire!!).  Charge it to my tab.  I insist!

Morning Rachel
The best thing is they will All be returning *to You* after having a safe and happy time.
You could tell the Wed.  Natalie story and what you are going to be doing for 1 hour.
That could be 2 posts right there. :)
Please tell Natalie how great I think her Cloud pictures are.
I like them all.
My favorite is the GREEN Clouds and Silhouette Tree.
It would make a great photo to frame and hang or make into a bookmark.

I'm freezing!  And typing in the dark!  No Internet came with this particular condo, but if you sit on the balcony outside, you can steal a connection from somebody's router.  Amber discovered this last night; how awful, to have so many Internet-addicted people in one family.

I had a lonely Friday night and loved it.  LOL Well my family got home after I went to sleep as they were at a football game while I took care of dogs and cats for the evening.  We work in one city, go to school in another...and so any evening activities require someone to go back home to our town to take care of critters.  LOL
Hope you are having an awesome weekend doing WHATEVER your heart desires.  I hope you didn't have to work.  Does NO post mean you did?
