28. That's what I would have said too ...
But she waits for me at the end of the block every day and walks home in front of me. So I can't say I actually pet her *after* I get home.

45. pet my dogs, since i have to walk thru all 6 of them to get into the house
its like jesus entering jerusalem on palm sunday, especially when they smell the goodies i always have waiting for them in my bag.


goes like this:... exit the car... "hey puppies!"

"okay back up"...they move away from the gate.

i enter the gate, Doctor J, (the lab) is first to get to me......always!

"hey Baby Doc!".....pet, pet. then Aja (kuvasz number 3) crowds out Doctor J as she barks her welcome.

"hey sweet Aja!".... pet, pet, as she jumps up and tries to lick my face.

then big Kodi (kuvasz #1)on the porch barks her welcome to daddy.

"hey kodibear!"... she woofs her welcome again.

then Luckie Dog (mix breed) sneaks up and jumps me and she gets her hugs.

then Abba (kuvasz #2) comes up and usually sniffs me to be sure i was not stepping out on them and was visiting another dog...

"hey Baba!" then he jumps up and pushes Luckie and Aja away as Doctor J circles around me to sneak in another pet from me.

i climb the steps to the house porch, and they follow as I bend down and pet big Kodi who is the queen of the house and mistress of the front porch....

then Little Bit, the little bitty chihuahua comes out the dog door and squeals a welcome as i bend down and pet her and the other dogs mill around each getting another pet or hug.

i enter the house, and give each of them a treat from my bag or a biscuit from the biscuit bag on the counter.

this is a normal day.....every day.

6. dig that - took mine of 25 yrs. ago and never put it on again

ahh relief - my breasts have been free to jiggle, bounce and sway.

(recently read a medical report that said jiggling and bouncing are ways the breast gets rid of toxins. I do know that when losing weight, the fat goes to the breasts and they fill up and feel firm and heavy for awhile before the fat leaves and they are soft again. This process is done over and over until the body fat is gone. no I'm not nuts.)

11. You don't wear a bra, ever?
Do you feel awkward in social situations? As much as I loathe wearing bras, I wouldn't go out in public without one. And I'm not even big-boobed! :)

More power to you, I wish I had the nerve to go without, cause it sure feels great!

I'm thankfully small chested and can get away with a little tank top so the nipples don't stick out too much.

50. It was a joke
because my boobs bounce up and hit me in the eyes if I'm not wearing a bra. Well, they don't really. But I'm really not comfortable appearing in public without a bra unless I wear baggy clothes.

15. Toss my jacket on the back of the couch...
set my bag down, and drop my keys, cell phone, and badge from work on the table next to the door. If I don't do all that first thing then I won't be able to find any of them when I need them the next day. :-)

Then I lose the shoes. Mmmm...that's just about the best feeling in the whole wide world.

23. I take off a majority of my clothes (I don't get nekkid, tho).
I take off my shoes and socks, because my dogs are KILLING me by the end of the day. Then I take off my jeans and put on pajama pants.

Then I log on to DU.;)

Being a moderator, I've discovered, is a constant job. Preferably with as little clothing as possible.

32. depends
If its from school and I dont work that day, I leave my packbag in the upstairs, and come in my room and take my shoes off, and I sign on AIM then go on online. Actually somewhere in between I pee. Its the same thing with when I get back from work except I take off my work shirt to get in the T I was wearing before, because I like to wear my street clothes as under.

33. A few of those
I take off my shoes upon entering while my dog is jumping up on me. I go to the fridge and grab a drink (nonalcoholic) and sometimes times snacks. My husband may or may not be downstairs. I greet him as soon as I see him. Then I check email and look at websites, including DU. I used to smoke as well but have been abstaining for the job hunt. Of course if I am really tired, I'll take a nap instead.

being careful not to step on the furry greeting committee. Then I change into comfy clothes, then I open a can of kitty cam food (as opposed to kitty dry food) and give the kitty cams what they want.

47. I swoop up my precious kitty, apologize for being gone
all day and tell her I know how hard life can be for her sometimes sleeping and eating by herself all day (cause by the sound of her meowing, she's normally not pleased that I've been gone). Then, I kick off my shoes, turn on the tube with the sound down and turn up the stereo. All in all, not a bad life. :-)

He is so good about not having accidents in the house, but by the time I get home, he's REALLY ready to go outside and do his business. He always knows what time is 'dump' time, too. Very regular, my dog.

Then I lower the lotion down the hole for it to put on its skin. :evilgrin:

57. Watch in pure bliss as my two young daughters literally
dance around and bounce while screaming 'Daddies home!'.

Followed by alot of hugs, kisses, and I love you's.

I know it doesn't last long, but man is it great while it does!

Followed up by a hug from the wife as she heads out the door to work. :(

Then a scratch on the head for my great old dog.

58. I usually check on my animals first thing.
They're not furry and they don't meet me at the door. Usually I get a "Well, hi!" from the Amazon parrot and a cute squeak from the Senegal parrot. The scaly contingent doesn't greet me at all. I usually just peer into the various terrariums to see who is up to what.

59. I go pee and the cat greets me while I'm in the bathroom.
I first have to pick up my children before I go home and sometimes they are not all that cooperative about getting ready to leave. After I spend some time petting the cat, I change into exercise clothes & exercise. I then make dinner.
