Today I am doing all my laundry and getting ready to be out of town for the week.  I also changed my bedsheets, which for some reason is no easy task.  I think it is the pillows.  I have too many pillows – 8!

My mom and sister have went to the store so that I don’t have to.  I have been in my bed clothes all day working on this laundry.  I did do a little more than laundry.  I moved the dog cage to give ma a real table next to the bed.  I also have been working on my company website.  It isn’t needed, but I am having fun exercising my brain by doing it.

Forgot to post this last night  I was so tired from all that laundry that I just wanted to go to bed.  The dogs were being very bad last night, which might have contributed to my sleeping very poorly.  I ended up trying to sleep this morning until like 10.  K, Bye

 

Another snake!  3 for 3, stop this madness!  Thank goodness I am going to be going out of town starting Sunday.  I hope I don’t see snakes when I am gone

I had such a good work week.  It was very productive and I would call it a great first week out on my own

I had to get a blood test this morning for some life insurance stuff and I had to not eat any breakfast.  The struggle was hard!  I decided to stay asleep until she was about here so I would not be tempted to eat  Of course she was not able to get blood from my arm, my elbow pit so she had to take it from the top of the hand.

I guess I am going to go grab some food.  I have so much to do tomorrow, so much laundry.  I am not looking forward to it, but I suppose nobody looks forward to laundry so I am pretty normal

Alright, I am going to finish up some work and then relax.  Bye!!!

Excuse me wild animals, but I don’t need to see you everyday! I came home today to the smell of death when I opened the front door. I asked, what is that? Parents said, smell your dogs. Gross. They found something dead to roll in and because it was so hot yesterday they had to be able to come inside so there we are. Now the first thing I have to do is bath both of them. Super Fun!! I took Dime first, she was pretty easy except she wanted to hug me so soaking wet I was. Also, my shower head is just a little bit too ling and when you turn it on while it is down it sprays straight up… Then came Nickel. Had to coax him in as well and he just kept walking in circles around me which made it very hard to get him all soaped up. Needless to say the bathroom was soaked and the dogs were still pretty wet going crazy around the house. Oh, and they still smelled pretty bad. They really could have used another bath, but I couldn’t do it, I was exhausted from it already.

Of course all the going out and for walks happened. This time we saw another snake. Please realize that this is two snakes in two days. I don’t need to see them to know that they are there. They can stay hidden and everything will be just fine. This time he was in the garage. AWESOME!

I also decided to stop by Pet Smart on the way home to get Nickel a new ball. You know, since he ate the soccer ball yesterday. Well, they didn’t have the giant tennis balls, but they did have a bigger one and I also got him a ball with a handle. This ball is rubber and like maybe 6″.

The case of the missing tennis ball… Alright, this is insane. I gave him the tennis ball and then picked it up and took the label off of it and now it has vanished. I have looked everywhere in the house, Dad has looked everywhere, and even MOM has looked everywhere and you all know if MOM can’t find it it is gone! I have also looked outside so many places. I don’t know. I am dumbfounded. It is big, like 5″ maybe. It’s hard to miss. IT CAN’T JUST VANISH!!!

Enough excitement for one night, I have a blood test tomorrow and I need to get some sleep.

OK, turtles are no big deal, even snapping ones but today we saw our first snake.  I have’t seen one over here in the entire 8 years we have been in the new house.  The dogs knew that they wanted to eat it, but they did come when I called them and left it alone.  By the way, it was just a black snake, nothing poisonous.

Also, Nickel’s new soccer ball came today…  I am taking guesses for how long it actually lasted!!!  Do you give up?  About 5 minutes.  I gave it to him played like 3 times and then I went to the restroom and heard the air escaping.  Yep, gone.

Nickel now has an empty water bottle.  He is loudly eating it.

We were going to go for a walk today, but I think that he is sufficiently tired himself out between the soccer ball, snake, and the bottle.

I got some of my office stuff today!  I am so excited  Tomorrow I need to go to the insurance guy – life insurance.  I need to find all my paperwork that he told me to bring about a week ago.  Why am I waiting until the last minute – DO YOU EVEN KNOW ME?!  Not really, I usually don’t wait till the last minute, this is a new problem for me.

Alright, I am wanting to go to bed, but really I just wanna jump in that cool shower  Talk to you tomorrow!!!

 

Tonight Nickel found a box turtle and brought it up to the house.  Well, luckily he didn’t hurt him and I put the dogs up and then put him back in the general area where I think he was.  Nickel has had a couple turtles and a cat.  He is good though because when I call him off, he does leave it alone.  I am very happy that he does that.

I tried to work on the new website, but I realize that I really don’t know what is actually gonna go on it  So, homework for the next couple days will be to spend some time on 4 tag lines or topics or something for the main page.  I am going to try to keep it to a single page layout with a link to my professional resume, I think.

Oh, I forgot the most crazy part of my day!  I went downtown and started to move my mouse / tap on my keyboard to wake up my computer and nothing was happening.  So I reached up and no computer…  OOOOOOOPS I forgot it at home  Luckily I had my Mac and was able to work and not have to come home or use the desktop in the team room

Alright, gonna go to bed now – Nickel is going crazy.  He is making me crazy!

Had the family over for dinner tonight.  We had t-bone steaks and sides, it was pretty good.  I made Paul some cake and that ended up being really good too

Did not do laundry today…  Why, why did I not do that?  Because I am simply lazy

I did get started on the new website for the company.  I am basically looking for a good theme and Paul had done all the other pieces.  Did get the email all set up too.

Have been outside with the dogs a ton today, but it is so hot, so humid.  Crazy, I tried to stay in the shade but that didn’t work well.

I think I am going to go to bed early today.  I am tired already because I didn’t really sleep too good last night.

The dogs are still like begging me to take them outside.  They don’t care that it is a million degrees and I don’t want to.  Alright, time to get some other work done

We were going to have chicken and dumplings but I had to be lazy and was like, let’s try this new thing I saw on Facebook…

Well, it didn’t go so well, since I forgot one of the main ingredients  It was basically hotdogs in cornbread and then chili and cheese was supposed to go on top.  I remembered it in the store, went down the aisle and then forgot why I was walking down the aisle…  So – what we had was hotdogs in cornbread and baked beans on top!  We normally ALWAYS have chili.  Like several cans all the time.  Not yesterday.  it wouldn’t have been so bad if we didn’t give up chicken and dumplings for it.  That’s what hurt

Should have done laundry today because now I just have to do it tomorrow.  it won’t end up doing itself tonight.  SHOCKING I know

 

Didn’t play a ton today with the dogs, it was raining and so so hot.

I don’t know why I can’t seem to take at least one picture a day so that this post has something to use as a thumbnail.  It isn’t hard, I have so many options and to actually capture a picture so, whatever.
Alright, gonna try to go to bed

We just got back from going to my sisters house for a BBQ.  It was good, she had a lot of her friends over and their kids, which are all so nice.

Paul and Carlos came over for their visit.

I spent the morning printing stuff off that I need.  So much stuffs.  Other than those couple things I have been pretty lazy  Alright, just got done running the dogs, 4 balls is almost too much to keep up with.  They keep moving slightly off the path to put them down.

I have got to book all my hotel rooms for the next outing and the one at the end of the month which I am very excited to be going to.  I have a couple people going who I just really like.  They are so stinking nice I can’t take it

I am going to be working on my new website, it will be pretty static compared to this one, but still want to make it as nice as I can.  Can’t wait to “reveal” it.  I know it is silly, but I am just so excited about this new adventure.
