I love sleeping this way....

TGIF!! Didnt get much sleep last night, I am hanging in there....it wont be until around 2pm when I crash....

 48 degrees here.  Jackie, any rain is GOOD !!

Headed back to work.  Basement carpet is back in place.  Looks good and feels good.  It is on its last life though.  If we get water down there again, we will have to pitch it all.  

Have a great day everyone !!

36 degrees here.  Pulled a stitch out of my gum last night, and the whole area is tender.

Computer problems here at work, so even though I came in early to get a head start, I am an hour behind.

Yay for rain by Jackie!

 Yea for rain!!!!

its low 50's, overcast, drizzly and WINDY - this could easily pass for November weather here.  Feels refreshing but it is a huge switch from the high of 93 of yesterday LOL

OK the house diagonally across from us has changed hands 3x since we moved here.  Each new owner seems dumber than the last.  This one has a sweet XL lab - who they said never leaves the yard and never barks.  Well that isn't reality.  He spends his days outside and his nights in the garage - they leave a door open about 2ft so he can get in and out. Never mind that that also allows access to the 8 million critters that are in this area it also allows him to wander. I have seen him in daylight across the main road upteen times, across the cul de sac, in the road, in the neighbor's etc.  He barks full alarm barks when you go to the mailbox to get the paper or someone walks by or ........ Karen isn't too thrilled with this scenario as it is in the HOA covenants that your pets must be contained on your property.  I have spoken to these people several times from the angle of it isn't safe to no avail.

So this morning I am getting ready to take Bugsy for his walk and I hear him going nuts like one of his buddies is in the yard so I go downstairs to let him out and Oh look the lab that never leaves his yard is rooting through my garage.   Meanwhile Bugsy is running around like a fool thrilled to have a play buddy.  But XL lab clearly doesn't understand what B is doing and is cowering (this makes me sad as B was playbowing and had gotten a wubba to play) I say come on Rio let's go home and he cowers worse.  But I get him moving back towards his house. As I am just getting him across the cul de sac "mom" comes home and looks at me like I am a PIA and says, "was he in your yard?"  Yes actually he was in my garage.  You know I don't want him in my garage or in my yard.  BTW several times this week he's been......this morning he was in the road and I saw a car come to a stop because of this.... etc.  Well she was giving me this evil eye and all.  I said again if it were my dog from a safety standpoint I'd really want to ensure he wasn't outside my property.  She is still looking at me like I am a butthead.  I am not sure how I refrained from letting her know she wasn't in the sticks anymore and that it is in the covenants that pets are to be contained on their property and I will report the next time I see him wandering, but I did.  This is the last time though.

I mean the dog is friendly enough but he clearly has no idea what his boundaries are and how sad is it that he didn't even understand how to play?  And don't get me started on the fact he is essentially "an outside dog"

Rant over

Jano I am horrified that you had snow already - I like snow but not just yet

Got my haircut yesterday and she did a GREAT job!

Double Yay for rain!  Send it my way, Jackie!

The Hooligans are playing "Catch me if you can" in the front yard...I can see them outside my office window.  Love it.

We went on a Sniff outing this morning, they enjoyed it thoroughly and we came across NO loose dogs.  Bonus!  We did, however come across a sneaky Orange tabby cat who layed in a ditch.  Heidi smelled it, but didn't see it...2nd bonus!

Poor Rio.  A Labby that doesn't understand playbows is just plain wrong.

WTG, Hooligans!  

Jackie I had heard some rain might dip down into TX from OK today...was praying that you would get some of it!  Yea!!

We got some off and on sprinkles yesterday and some of Jackie's rain is supposed to come our way tonight.  We went from 98 Mon and Tues to 60 yesterday lol!  It's definately fall feeling in NW Arkansas today.

I need to raise some money and was thinking about selling some of the stuff I have sitting around the house that has to be dusted, killing 2 birds with one stone.  Just cant decide whether to do Ebay, Craigslist, or Etsy....   I have never sold on any of them.

2 bonuses = awesome!

I am trying to wait until the iPhone is available on Sprint (rumored to be early Oct) before making a final decision on a new phone.  The other phone I like was released today and my phone acted spazzy yesterday AND wouldn't boot up this morning.  so NOW I WANT A NEW PHONE NOW!!!

will I maintain some self control or not??

it's friiiiiidaaaaay! wofreakinghoo

yay for rain too

Soooo glad it's Friday and even more glad that I'm off today. I've already made a dent in laundry and cleaning and hope to be done by mid-morning.

Jackie - yay for rain!! It's cool this morning and will only be in the mid 80s later. It does warm to the mid 90s next week though. I'm not ready for summer to end :(.

Karen - I so empathize with you. We have neighbors across the street that are just as inconsiderate and clueless. They do love their lab though, so I'll give them that. There's another jerk that lives in the sister development a few blocks from here but brings his 2 dogs over here for walks every evening. It's always irritated me that he lets them stop to poop or pee on everyone's lawn but now he's letting them off leash and he just wanders on and hopes they'll catch up. Last night I saw the bigger dog stopping to poop on the elderly neighbor's lawn across the street. It made me see red and it's a good thing DH wasn't home.

Heidi is channeling her inner Buddy and chasing squirrels.  Lets hope she never catches one....not sure she would know what to do with it.

Psst, Heidi, you eat it! 

LOL Tina.  That reminds me of the first time, er, only time she caught a mole.  The critter was on top of the ground, she saw it...ran over and caught it.  Then as I was walking over to her, she swallowed it whole.    Concerned me because it was ALIVE and I worried about it clawing her.  Good grief girl... 

 ETA:  Yet another round of Catch me if you can ensues.  They are feeling Good this morning!
