Random Moments

Water Bowl
Earlier this week I happened to notice my dog's butt sticking out of our Christmas Tree. Seems he thought the tree's water bowl was his new water bowl. Pine scented water anyone?

As The World Turns
Earlier this week my husband, who is quite often forced to watch soap operas...well, forced is a strong word. He happens to be sitting on the couch when I watch them....says to me "Would you start watching another soap opera if yours got canceled?" I said "No, I have been watching my two shows for 21 years. Why would I watch a new one when I am so invested in these old ones?" He basically concluded that the only way he would get out of watching my shows was if they got cancelled. Skip ahead two days...when he sends me a link to a story via Facebook announcing the cancelation of my soap opera, As The World Turns in September 2010. His comment: "One down. I think I have a some sort of super power." Alluding that his previous conversation with me had somehow gotten one of my soap operas cancelled. It sure was a weird coinincidence. I am completely bummed.

Chase Auto Financing
Earlier this week I was balancing my checking account and noticed that Chase Auto Financing had debted my bank account for my monthly car payment. Normally this wouldn't have been a problem if only I hadn't paid off my car last month. Of course I called and asked why? Their response, "Oh, you still had your account marked to auto payments." I responded, "But I paid off my car. Can you cancel that feature?" They responded, "No you have to go online." Then I told them exactly what I thought of this silyl idea and alluded that they had a nice scam going stealing people's money. I mean they took my money and they want me to go online to fix it?? Furthermore, I paid off my car where does that give them the right to kept debting my account just because I clicked a button. One would think when your done paying they can't take anymore money from you. The other thing that bothered me was I was talking to someone on the phone who I am sure could have fixed my request yet they directed me to go online? Anyhow, I got it all sorted but beware, if I hadn't balanced my account who knew how long it would have gone on?

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...
