Ever So Annoying!

Besides that stupid, stupid, dog that barks everyday is the ever so annoying postman or postwoman or person who delivers our mail. Today for the record billionth time, since moving to Eagle Rock, the mailperson delivered our mail wrong! This time they got the numbers right but they totally gave me mail for someone on a different street! Friggin' Loser! I mean, how hard is it to read an address and deposit the mail into the mail slot? It's not a very hard concept one would think, but apparently, it's the hardest thing in the world for our mail person!

Lucky me, our mail person gets it wrong, oh, at least once a month! It's so bad, that the Post Master General of Eagle Rock now knows my name and she always says the same thing when I call, "Again? (with a sigh) I spoke to them about that last week." I guess I just have the stupidest mail carrier ever! Can someone reissue the United States Post office test to this person? I am curious as to what's on this test as it certainly doesn't test for friggin' common sense or eye-hand coordination, or the ability to read!

Let's see, they delivered my $80 prescription to my dead neighbor's house. I only found that a month later sitting on her porch after arguing with the prescription's company for like an hour on why I didn't want to pay another $80 bucks for something I never got in the first place!!! I don't know how many times I get home to find my mail on my picnic table obviously delivered by some kind neighbor. I even get "the guy down the street's" work checks every so often. Which he doesn't seem too worried about (if they were mine, I would be worried). I have gotten mail for people two doors down. That was the day the mail was off at everyone's house by two houses. I mean how the hell does that happen? Two doors off. Loser.

It so bad I thought I'd help the incompetent carrier out by writing my address on a piece of paper and taping it to my mail box, you know, just in case looking at the numbers on the side of my house was too much of a stretch. That seemed to work until today. They got the numbers right but delivered the mail for the wrong street. No one takes pride in the details anymore. It's a pity.

What am I to do? The dog, the mail, I give up! Okay neighborhood you got me. The joke is funny, ha, ha. What is a home maker to do? Maybe, I should set that goddam dog after my goddam postman! They'd make a perfect pair!

Maybe you should make your return address on any bills or letters, etc. one of you neighbors and see if gets delivered to you by accident!

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

7th Birthday

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
