House Fly Invasion! & Toos-day Random Babblings

| By | Filed Under: home, life | Leave a Comment

 
Our house has been infested by FLIES!! I have no clue where they are coming from either. DH managed to trap about 20…YES, 20!…in a window and closed it. Now to kill the little buggars. We need to find where they are coming from. I just don’t get it.

I’m sitting here and there’s a fly…or two…or more, who knows…flying circles around my head. How annoying is that?? Ugh…we need to get rid of these DAM flies!

I got a package today! At work I won an award so I got to pick a prize. Our pans are HORRIBLE. So i picked a set of 2 T-Fal frying pans and they came today! I love getting packages!

The hubbs said something that cracked me up today. I forget what we were talking about, but he was saying that I am a certain kind of way and I disagreed…he said, “Have you met yourself”…omg I about lost it!!! My saying is “Have you met (whoever)”…Like when my sister’s man was saying how wonderful she is…I was like, Have you met her? hehe…so dh just comes out with that…it was too funny. I seriously laughed out loud.

Laundry Monday

| By | Filed Under: home | Leave a Comment

Today is laundry day for me. I think when I’m picking through a huge pile of dirty clothes on the ground in my room to see where my work pants are (they were on the hamper, btw) that it’s time to do laundry.

When we lived in the apartments, I got into the habit of “living” in my loungewear and washing clothes when we had the money and/or when my clothes were so nasty that I had no choice! Gross, I know…but times were hard and we didn’t always have money to do laundry and the machines weren’t great. Now we have our own washer and dryer, and actually we have had our own since living with my sister…so like 2 houses ago. I still don’t do laundry every week, but as needed. The hubbs does some of my laundry when he does his, which is just about daily….it’s the OCD.

Tonight we BBQ’d some sausages for dinner and ate outside on the deck. We had Razzle out there wearing a harness and a lead that was tied to the table. He really enjoys it outside and often tries to escape, so we sometimes take him out there. Well tonight that little shit went under the deck and got out of the harness!!! AHH!! So then it was like a wild goose chase to get him. He doesn’t have any claws and isn’t wearing a tag or collar!!! Ugh, we cannot leave him out there and we live WAY too close to a really busy intersection to not find him when he gets away from us like that! We were finally able to corner him behind the garage and we promptly put him back in the house. No more outside for him for a long while!!

Here are a few pictures of Razzle outside. My husband decided to “edge” the backyard and part of the front by hand today, so that’s the mess in the yard. And Onyx was on the other side of the stairs enjoying a nice marrow bone, that’s what Razzle is checking out when he’s on the stairs.

 
 

When he got out of the harness, my husband and I were joking that it was almost like he went under the deck a little bit to plan his escape. He’s a smart kitty and he does have thumbs (polydactyl) so I wouldn’t put it past him! LOL

Right now at work I’m listening to “Rogue” by Danielle Steele. I just started it today and it’s ok…nothing special yet. I am about to check it out on Amazon and get a plot overview and see what it’s all about. lol

Who Pooped? & Happy Birthday Dad! heh

| By | Filed Under: scrappy | Leave a Comment

LOL…what a title!! And pretty fitting if you knew my family!!

After the sweatshop, dinner, and birthday apple pie I came home to the most horrific smell in the hallway. UGH, it was NASTY!!! and definitely poop. I would say dog poop, but they really go little nuggets since being on raw, so maybe one of them has a sick tummy. Anyways, there was NO way I could clean that up! I couldn’t even go back into the hallway where it was, the smell was making me gag. I can still kind of smell it…let’s just say we are unprepared for carpet cleaning emergencies. Resolve is going on our shopping list! So the hubs clean it up…thank God he was home, I would have had to gag through it. Guess he’s good for some things…heh kidding of course!

We did the happy birthday thing for my dad. We ended up at Bahama Breeze. We were supposed to go to some new rib place, but my dad wanted to go to BB. It’s always good there…but we go a little buck wild on the appetizers. Plus, my nephew has braces and his teeth were hurting him, so he didn’t know what he could or should eat. So we got like 4 appetizers. lol Oh well, it was good. I got my usual, Chicken Jerk Pasta…so yummy!

Then we went to my parents and sang Happy Birthday to my dad and had apple pie. I am not a pie lover, so I skipped it…but I’m sure it was good!

Here’s a scrappy page of my dad blowing his candles out!!
