Well, it has been an unbelievably "homey" couple of weeks. My car acted funky, then got worse. So, I took it to the shop. It's like a little flash -- happens as quick as you blink your eyes. The radio skips out, the dash lights flicker one time, and then you look down, and have to touch the accelerator to see that nope, you've got NO power. It really sucks. It did this to me on the freeway, in traffic one day. Needless to say, I freaked out. But the mechanic couldn't figure out anything. So, when it happened and we were BOTH in the car, it was like I didn't make it up. We drove about 8 miles in it, and as we were going down the road, it just quit. It happened three times within about 5 miles. The car won't re-start immediately, so you're sort of stuck either on the side of the road or in the nearest parking lot if you're lucky. Really, it's the weirdest thing. They haven't been able to duplicate the problem -- the mechanic has had it for a week. Guess what -- it's running fine for them. GO FIGURE!
My theory is that it has something to do with the ignition key. Of course, they do not believe in any way this is the problem. BUT, my keys are gold plated, I know, it sounds so getto, but that's how we distinguish between HIS and HERS. His keys, the one the mechanic has are the normal looking key. I forgot to drop off the gold keys, and they do not feel this would affect the problem. Hopefully, I'll make it by there in the ol' tank tomorrow morning so they can give them a try.
I feel as if I have been trapped in my own house to work, to clean, and to wait on the darn car to be repaired for weeks now. I leave for a little road trip Wednesday, looks like a rental is in my near future.
We miss you guys so much...
Puppy Pals -- just hanging out together!

7 AM
Ok, so I don't have to get up early. I've had yet ANOTHER head cold/sinus infection. It's been approximately 4 weeks since the last one. I'm not convinced the last one ever left, but it's partying in my head right now. Night time and mornings are the worst. I went to bed around 2 AM last night. At 7 AM I woke up to the sound of our house falling in.
Ok, so it wasn't our house, it was the house next door, but it sounded like it could have been our house. The walls were trembling, they have been most of the day. I couldn't believe the dogs weren't barking!! I looked over to see Missy a little scared, I offered her to go out and she went. I had to go look for the beagle. She was looking out the front window, I think all she could see was the big machinery. I think she must have been thinking, "I don't think I can take that thing on, so I won't alert the humans of it. One wrong move, and I think it could crush us all." Missy went out, only long enough to do what she had to. Rita, the beagle, went out, heard the crashing brick and glass breaking, turned around and had a look, of fear. She's usually a little terror, and I think this machine eating the house next door was finally her match.
The house was a pile of wood within 45 minutes. The oversized 3 car garage with a huge attic, it was a pile of wood by 7:58 AM. Yep, a lifetime of memories in that house, all just a pile of rubble within an hour. It was a sad morning. We know the guy who used to own the house, he would have never wanted that to happen. So, when I went out at 7 AM with Rita, it was a gloomy morning. There was a gray sky and a gentle mist. (Of course these were due to hurricane Dolly down south.) But, it was a sad moment that tugged at my heart a little. Just reminded me that it's just stuff, it's just a structure, people are what gives the rubble life.

Weekend Fun
This is a picture of the kiddie pool we got for the dogs to play in. It's been so incredibly hot here! We thought maybe they'd spend a little more time outside, if they had somewhere cool to take a dip in...
This is a picture of HIM in the pool. Note Rita, the beagle barking at him to get out of the pool.
This is a picture of Rita and Daisy, hot as can be, but not getting into the pool.
This is a picture of the Water Man. He found the biggest sprinkler he could find and gets such enjoyment out of it. Supposively, the sprinkler should shoot 40 feet. Unfortunately, our water pressure fluctuates ALOT. Sometimes, there's not enough pressure to make it work properly. When we bought the house, he said he'd let the grass die before he ever watered it. I think he may turn into one of those little old men that sits in their lawn chair holding the hose to water their yards! :)
It was dark by the time we finished our walk, but Missy and Rita did get into the pool after the walk. Rita tried to sit down, but didn't like the water all around her. The reason we actually got them a pool? We used to load them up and drive about a half hour to the dog park. There's two ponds for dogs to get into. We'd pack them up, fight the construction/traffic mess, they would run and play, but NEVER get into the water. I don't have the patience or time time go all the way to the dog park --- $5/gallon doesn't help! We took them to a closer park this weekend after they went shopping for their own dog food. This park has a neat little water feature, and Rita seemed to enjoy it. So we decided to pick up a little pool. I don't know if it will get used much, but we tried!

Tear Down
I completely forgot to do this yesterday -- we tore down the wallpaper in the entry way. I wanted to document it, I'm anxiously awaiting how long we will do nothing with this very easy project. Actually, the walls in there look better WITHOUT anything, just they way they are, than they did with that wallpaper on there. It is making me want to rip out all of the wall paper in the entire house!
Yesterday afternoon I was working in the dining room and I heard a loud thud! They removed the carport to the house/garage next door. They also took down the three garage doors; I'm sure they will use those somewhere else. Perhaps they will get to work tearing down the place. We noticed a few weeks ago that the doors and windows were all being left open. Tonight we couldn't help but wonder if that had something to do with permits...maybe if the entire place is left open/vacant, it could somehow be condemned...then they wouldn't have to obtain permits to demolish the structures??? I don't know...just a guess, I know all of the permits required to do anything around here are crazy!
That's what I know if the tear downs. Let's see who progresses on the end result!

Updates
Ok, seems like I should recount what's been going on -- or lack of progress I should say....
Most importantly is Missy. Her bandage came off last weekend, and this past weekend, her stitches came out. The first couple of days after her bandage came off, her ear seemed very "loose". It just didn't have the same cute little shape it did before the the hematoma. Of course, we did consider puppy plastic surgery -- something we'd consider for our animals, but probably not for ourselves! Thankfully for her (and our checkbook) plastic surgery will not be needed. As her ear has gotten better, the cute little shape has returned.
Here's a picture of Missy's "cone ear" from surgery...
Then, of course, there's the house next door. The one bound for destruction, any day now, I guess??? Plus it had the exciting tree explosion that happened when lightening hit it a few weeks ago.
They were very prompt in removing the tree and the drebis from it. They didn't remove the stump. Here's a picture of the tree stump. It's huge, I still cannot believe how big the tree was, or how close the lightening was!
The orange fence has been up around since the day of the storm. I really thought that since the fence was up, the house would be coming down. WRONG. We're still looking at the orange fence. But, it's really no big deal. I guess the house coming down next door would be exciting, so we're just a little anxious to see it come down.
This is a picture from the front of the house. It's a decent house on the outside. It's actually brick on all 4 sides. I wish our house would have brick all the way around...then we wouldn't be in need of replacing some rotten wood.
This is a picture of the garage. It has a HUGE garage with an attached car port. Really one of the best features of the house according to HIM. But, if I had to guess, it's coming down, too.
These are the lingering things I hadn't followed up on. So, that's what's new. We've been busy. This has been the year of repair..we had been hoping it would be the year of progress, but as we're half way through July, I'm realizing, we're doing good keeping up with things that have broken this year. Somethings have actually broken multiple times...fun!
On a happy note, here's a picture of Rita. She's just loves to have her picture taken. Well, she takes good pictures, I don't know that she likes it, but I like taking them!

Big vs Aiden
Recently, I posted something about getting to know myself better...one of the topic was: The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. This brings an entire blog of another day, that I'm just not sure this is the place to even think on the topic, besides, I'm already married...
All I can think of is Sex and the City. First of all, if you haven't seen it, it's worth a try. I can totally see how some people wouldn't like it, but I have such an addiction to it, that I cannot even believe it! Carrie Bradshaw (Sara Jessica Parker) is the main character. She's a writer of a column in the newspaper, of course, the column is called "Sex and The City". In that column and throughout the show we see her life and the loves that come in and out of it.
One of the story lines I most enjoy is watching her struggle between the men in her life. There is MR. BIG (Christopher Noth). He is her passion and she is his passion. They rock together! There is that chemistry that we always see in Hollywood and everyone longs for in their own lives. And, there is the BUT...he's been married, and he's not looking for it again. So, with MR. BIG, there's the on again, off again, when it's good, it's good, and then he's gone that made for a lot of film time over the seasons. MR. BIG is a successful business man, he is determined, and he is self-confident. To me, it's a riviting realtionship. He comes into her life when things are going good with other love interests and with the chemistry they have, he is able to steal her away!
Then, there is my personal favorite...AIDEN (John Corbett -- who I loved in My Big, Fat Greek Wedding). Aiden is the guy that everyone hopes to find for themselves one day. Aiden is sweet, carring, a little rugged. He has a cabin, he builds furniture, and can remodel Carrie's apartment! He's softer, loving, and is absolutely in love with Carrie. While Carrie & Aiden have some ups and downs, his unconditional love and desire to be with her is steadfast. Aiden wants to marry her, have a family, and basically ride off into the sunset! He always has her best interest at heart. The writers did a great job of not showing any of his flaws -- she even asks him what they are, and nothing comes up!! So, how is it that she can push him away? She calls off their engagement, because of "missing the bride gene". They have chemistry and seem to work so well together, but when Mr. Big steps in, she can't help but go back to him.
Is this how love is??? I'm more of a beliver that there just aren't that many "the one's" out there for us! It's not that I think there's only one perfect person for us, only one soul mate, but come on...are we really likely to have two of them in our lives at the exact same time??? Maybe this is why I don't like shopping --- too many choices! Better yet, did I pick my Mr. Big or my Aiden???
Note: Somehow I didn't make time to go see the movie, so it's in my Neflix que already! :( And if you're interested, here's a pretty good description of what happened...

Purpose
I've been struggling as to what to put on my blog. You know, it's public, and anyone could stumble upon this, so I do have to have some caution in what I put out there. My life is really very simple. Pretty much, it's work, feed the dogs, cook, clean, do housework/yardwork, work, groceries (ie buy dog food - we go through a LOT with 4 dogs), work, attend family functions, etc. If I'm lucky, we get an invitation to hang out with friends, or people that I do not feel obligated to see. (I love my family, I'm glad to hang out with them, why do we live so far apart???) So what do I write about in my blog??? It just doesn't seem like my boring existance is worth posting about.
Now, I do look at my blog -- is that weird? It's not like I'm here to read what I wrote...but, once I added the music feature, if I don't like what's on the radio, I listen to a couple of songs. (We've got a Sirius account. I'm not sure I think satellite radio is worth the $.) The first thing that pops up is a picture of the great pups and those few opening lines...I'm the ordinary 30-something. Married, childless, wondering what I have to offer life. Blogging because it seems like the thing to do; a way to stay connected with people I miss; and a way to express myself....which has been encouraging me to do a little more soul searching. I keep telling myself there's more to life than what I'm doing, now how do find that????
Today, I did a search on "how to get to know myself better". First of all, I was really disappointed with the search results. It took a little clicking to find something, anything with some substance.
Somehow, I managed to find a website that offered a "quiz". Yes, this seemed very childish, or teen-ish, but this is what my "quiz" told me...
Your view on yourself: You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties. A little generic, but I guess it applies to me.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for: You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true. This brings an entire blog of another day, that I'm just not sure this is the place to even think on the topic, besides, I'm already married...
Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person. Again, too late...but nice try...oh, and it took 14 years to get married.
The seriousness of your love: Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates. WHATEVER
Your views on education: Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own. This is no longer a choice for me. However, I do appreciate real world education goes a long, long way.
The right job for you: You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success. BINGO! This could have been the best few words in this hoakie "quiz".
How do you view success: You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous. BINGO, again! For me, this goes way beyond career -- let's talke LIFE.
What are you most afraid of: You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear. This was a total yes and no. I am beginning the phase of my life to let go of acceptance by other people. What does it matter? I probably don't accept something they do in their life.
Who is your true self: You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve. This has happened a lot recently. My head and my heart have been struggling a lot lately. Those old "PROs vs CONs" list have been used for so many things recently!

Weird neighbors?
Does any one have that crazy neighbor next door? I think I have one. I am CERTAIN to others, I am the crazy neighbor next door.
Our neighbors hated when we put up the fence. Since then, many of my friends and family have immediately commented -- "Fences make good neighbors" or something like that. We have FOUR dogs -- who would want to live next to us without a fence? I don't have little dogs, ie, I do not have little dog poop. Also note, the fence seemed to put a stop to the continually adding of hounds at this house.
The house next door has been prepared for demo. I'll post pictures on another random rambling. The sewer clean outs were removed. While I'm not sure why they do it, apparently it is a rule that they decided to follow. I snooped over the holiday weekend, and it seems that they removed some flooring from at least one room. (I only peeked in one window, so maybe they removed more.)
Apparently there was an older lady around the corner. She was recently put in a nursing home. I believe she had a thrifty-ness, or just a weird obsession with saving things. As they have been cleaning up her property, they have removed numerous trash bags full of empty 1/2 gallon containers of ice cream. I don't know if she rinsed them and kept them in the garage, or if she just kept them. They are paper containers, so I'm not sure what she was saving them for, but there were many, many, many years worth of ice cream. I don't think even we eat that much ice cream. --- and we (I) LOVE ice cream.
Since I don't know many other neighbors, there's not much else I can add. Perhaps one day I will list more of my weird neighborly habits!

They are paper containers, so I'm not sure what she was saving them for, but there were many, many, many years worth of ice cream. I don't think even we eat that much ice cream. --- and we (I) LOVE ice cream.
Since I don't know many other neighbors, there's not much else I can add. Perhaps one day I will list more of my weird neighborly habits!
