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?

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

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 ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
