Mindless Tuesday

    Thanks guys.  I was afraid that I might be overreacting. 

    I've reported it to building security, & they are going to provide me with an escort to & from my vehicle.  DH brought Brutus up, & I think that I'm going to let he & Bev split time accompanying me.  The police are going to come by to take a report in a bit.  I have his license plate number, description of the truck, & a pic of him that I snapped on my phone yesterday.

    Hardly overreacting, Amanda.  It sounds as if you have done all the things I would have suggested, getting his plate #, vehicle description, etc.  You just never know about people, better to err on the side of caution.

    I need some good jokes, come on, you know you've got 'em.

     

    I'll use my seeing eye dog

     A blind man with a seeing eye dog at his side walks into a grocery store. The man walks to the middle of the store, picks up the dog by the tail, and starts swinging the dog around in circles over his head.

    The store manager, who has seen all this, thinks this is quite strange. So, he decides to find out what's going on. The store manager approaches the blind man swinging the dog and says, "Pardon me. May I help you with something."

    The blind man says, "No thanks. I'm just looking around."

    LMAO!!!  Yes, I have been fully dressed each time that I've seen him!

     Amanda, I'm glad your taking steps to protect yourself. Listen to that inner voice - it speaks for a reason. Been there, done that - and I don't want anyone else to have the t-shirt!

    Well it's official - I just bought my first grown up couch!  The decorator from Thomasville came out this morning to confirm that my ideas about how I'll be setting up our living room will work and I signed the papers to get the order in under the wire on their August sale. Smile

    In 8-10 weeks we'll be getting a beautiful beige microfiber sofa!  In the meantime I'll be updating our window treatments (from regular blinds alone to adding curtains made from banners used at my wedding), DH will be refinishing our coffee table to match the dark espresso feet on the sofa, and we'll be buying a sage papasan cushion to act as an accent and replace the one the cat destroyed! Smile I should totally do before and after pictures - can anyone say buh-bye college chic?! Big Smile

    Thanks, Deb.  Here's one back at ya'! 

     BTW, only YOU would suggest that Amanda might not be wearing any clothes when she's out and about. lol  It's the office that makes her clothes come off in some mysterious fashion.  Reminds me of a Brad Paisley song "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off"  Ya' gotta love country music, if for no other reason the titles.  Here's another Brad goodie "I'd like to check you for ticks"  or something close to that.

    I agree Amanda. Always go with your gut.

    We are officially moved in! I grabbed the rest of our stuff from the other house that I just havn't had time to do. I'm going to miss that old house. They'll be tearing it down soon. Lily has adjusted to the move well. I think she is losing hair around her eyes and on her nose and since we've moved here her nose has not been wet. That's a bad sign right? I hope I can get her into the vet tomorrow. I'm so paranoid and take her to the vet any time I think something is wrong, and everyone tells me I'm crazy, but I don't want to ever take any chances with her. She's my baby.

    Working till 5 tonight then a day off tomorrow! Ben has his follow up with his surgeon on Thursday and I can't wait to see what his x-rays look like. He's been doing and feeling great!

    Hope everyone has a great rest of the day!

     My flight home is delayed a half hour, and I swear, if it gets delayed anymore, or if I don't get home today, I will cry.

    Amanda, Thank you for talking to building security.  I'm creeped out for you.  Please keep Bev with you.  I know you're capable of taking care of yourself but I think it would make us worry worts feel better.  Okay, it would make me feel better. ~L~

    Deb,~LOL~ 

    Okay, so today is opening day of dove season in PA.  I don't want to get into a discussion about eithics of hunting.  I just need to express worry to people who might understand.  The season starts @ noon.  For the past few years DH & a few buddies have met with some guys from Jersey a few hours before the season opens & they just hang out, talk & BBQ.  I've gone last year & this year & it's a enjoyable time.  One of the Jersey guys has a Pointer with him.  The Pointer is just pacing around waiting to do his work. What I'm worried about is the sheer numbers of other hunters crowding this relatively small farm field.  So I'm just going to be sitting here waiting by the phone & hoping it doesn't ring.

    Do your dogs fart loudly? Like how men fart? Timmy is the loudest farter. He's so nonchalant about it too. It's hilarious. Amanda, I agree with everyone else, that is definately creepy - I'm glad you have Bevo and Brutus to help though!

    you must have missed the gas conversation yesterday! Callie does. For a tiny, little GIRL - she has the most rude and discusting farts! Ick! we're still gas free today...haha

    Do your dogs fart loudly?

    Jamison is a SBD farter.  Silent But Deadly.

    Bunch of drunk guys with guns crowded into a small field ~ WTH is there to worry about Annie??  LOL

    I was thinking that, but refrained from saying it, since Amanda called me "low" yesterday when I connected her lack of clothing to the big bonus she got.  Thank you Deb!
