Aw, you can’t find your car?
Well, maybe next time you won’t block a driveway. I had places to go and things to do and you kept me from all of it. Lucky for you I didn’t have an emergency during the night. I wonder what this is going to cost her. 🙂
Yeah, we think it was a female that parked there. Usually it is men who are that rude and will actually argue with me when I tell them they can’t park there, but this time we think we saw the culprit when we left to go to the farmers market.
G and I were walking to the car when we saw a young, I-am-entitled woman talking on her phone, walking back and forth, waving her free arm about, staring at the place from where the car, just a few minutes before, was towed.
We looked at each other and grinned. Once we got in the car and pulled out we both cracked up.
“Want to bet that’s the idiot who parked in front of the driveway all night?”
“Naw, that’s too easy.”
You all have a good one and remember if it’s my driveway you’re thinking of parking in front of, you will be ticketed and towed. 😉
Maybe I need a sign:
My dogs are fashionistas
Yes, I do spoil my dogs a bit. Today they got brand new, hand-made collars. I will not tell you how many collars they already have, but they do have more collars than I have purses.
The woman who makes the collars does a wonderful job. They are stronger and last longer than any I have purchased in a store. They cost about the same too. Pictured below are four of their collars all made by Diana. The top two are the latest ones.

Who shook the snow globe?
It looked and felt like we were inside a well shaken snow globe all day. Yes, if you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time you know I like one snowstorm a year, after that, all bets are off!
We’ve had too many and too much now. It can stop. The dogs are even ticked off about the snow. You have to boot them out the door.
The Curmudgeon is having trouble walking in the crap in the yard. He is not liking that white stuff either.
Therefore, if you are the person who is shaking the snow globe, I ask that you STOP IT! To the rest of you, you all have a good one!
Calgon take me away!
I need a vacation. I mean it, don’t laugh, I really do need one. I need someone to babysit The Curmudgeon and dogs while I go find a nice warm beach somewhere. I need a break, a change in routine, a chance to recharge.
Just give me a nice, quiet shack on the beach with plumbing, electric where I can plug my lap top in, and a great place to eat nearby. A place where I don’t have to cook or clean, or worry about anything except did I remember the sun block?
You have no idea how much I’d love to disappear for a few weeks and do nothing but relax and not have to think or remember to ask The Curmudgeon if he took his medication while forgetting mine completely. Oh yes, I have done that often.
To not have to worry if that noise I heard was him falling again…yes, a peaceful vacation where I don’t hear him moan and groan all day long.
Maybe I just need to get out of the house for a few hours and go out to lunch with G. This snow has me stir crazy.
You all have a good one and if you are on a beach somewhere, please refrain from telling me about it. 😀

Lullaby and goodnight?
For years I’ve had trouble falling asleep. Then I discovered several ‘sleep’ CDs that helped me fall asleep like never before. I would even stay asleep for hours.
Last night my CD player died. Do you have any idea how tough it is to find a new one? Everything is MP3 players. I finally found a couple of them. I bought one at Radio Shack.
No, with the street as bad as it is I didn’t drive there. I ordered it online. 😀
It may take a few days before I get a good sleep again.
You all have a good one!
I never thought I’d see this.
These two will play together but they never snuggled together. It was that whole ‘TOUCHING?!” thing. The arrival of the soft, fluffy, fuzzy throw has changed things around here a bit.
You all have a good one. I’m going to sit back and enjoy this.
Are you a bully?
As a youngster I could never understand it when people were nasty to each other. I couldn’t see the point in it. That’s probably why even one of my own sisters had a habit of bullying me for a long time.
One day, in junior high, I had enough of being bullied by a couple of girls in school and stood up to them with great success. It felt good. The next time my sister tried to bully me, I stood up to her. Success! She quit bullying me and tried to go after the baby sister. I wouldn’t allow that.
I do not tolerate bullying. I understand it even less now than I did as a child. How and why do certain adults think that bullying is acceptable?
Bullying comes in all forms. If you are reading this and wondering if I am writing about you, you may just be a bully.
Summer road trip anyone?
I found out today while taking a survey on Facebook that I am four states short of hitting all fifty states. Those four are probably not the ones you think they are.
I missed Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. My Mother missed Rhode Island. If I manage to hit those four states this summer I’ll break my mother’s record.
Wish she could be with me. She would have been thrilled to make her final state. We had planned to make that trip one day but that day never did get here. That’s why I made a promise to myself last night.
I am going to see my four remaining states.
You all have a good one!
I think Hecuba would enjoy a road trip. Don’t you?
We had more snow
It wasn’t much really, just very stick to everything fluffy, one of those great packing snows. Ideal for snowball fights and snowmen.
I let Patty out without the leash (since the pond is frozen I felt safe) She tore around the yard like a gazelle being chased by a cheetah. She’s quite the lovely sight when she cuts loose like that.
Gavin walked out, peed, and walked back in, he wasn’t impressed.
Once inside, he was the bouncy one and she was ready to take a snooze on the couch under her soft and fluffy blanket.
You all have a good one!
They say bad things come in threes…Maybe I’ll stay in bed tomorrow.
Whenever things get going too smoothly around here, I know the other shoe is gonna drop, hard.
The Curmudgeon has had a bad couple of days. Yesterday being the worse he’s had in a while. Bad enough that he had to resort to using his walker in the afternoon. Not fun for him or for the rest of us.
The vet called and said that Patty’s kidneys are not looking great. Her BUN and Creatinine levels are off. We are going to try to get her levels better with diet. If that doesn’t work then we have to go to medication.
We lost two of our Bullys to renal failure years ago and we’re hoping we can give Patty a few more good years yet.
You all have a good one!
So the snow finally got here…
Taken through the kitchen window.
The snow began to come fairly steady by the afternoon yesterday. At one point, I looked out the window to see this fat squirrel sitting in the tulip poplar, using his tail for a hat.
I had to call The Curmudgeon to the window so he could also get a laugh.
We didn’t get a lot of snow, we’ll see what happens over night and into the day. This is NOT my favorite weather.
I dragged out my winter boots and warmed them on the radiator. Believe me I was glad to have them when I took the dogs out because both of them decided it was playtime. Dogs and their first snowfall of the year are like kids. By the third snowfall they are more like me. ‘Let’s see how fast I can do this.’
You all have a good one. We’ll be hunkering down and keeping warm.
