Just a Bunch of Stuff

The last few days when getting off the the freeway, it has been a mess. When you turn left off from the off ramp on to Rawson Ave going east there is road construction. The first sign you see says 'two left lanes closed ahead'. So like you should do, everyone moves into the far right lane.

Good right?? Wrong!! It is the right lane that is closed first. So now everyone is trying to move back into the left lanes. Today there happened to be an accident that was blocking the left lane so now you have both outside lanes trying to move into the center lane. What a mess that was. It took over 10 minutes to get thru a section that is about a mile long. GRRRRR!!!

I want to send out a shout out to the Blonde. She was in a serious car accident a little over a week ago. She is still in the hospital. Hope you get better soon.

Talked to my sister earlier in the week. My niece, C, was nominated to be a student ambassador. This means that if selected she has the opportunity to spend a month in Italy and Greece next summer. It is a great honor but the catch is that she needs to come up with about 6 grand for the trip. So now she is thinking of all these ways to raise the money. She got pissed at me when I told her the most obvious one (ok, at least it was obvious to me) I told her how about getting a part time job. She only works part time now as a waitress. She gave me this bullshit about not having the time. Well, if she would get her ass out of bed before 11 am, maybe she could find the time. My niece, C, who is now 12, is the one who gets up on her own, gets ready for school and gets the two little ones up and ready for school (they are 4 and 5). For being 12, my sister puts way to much responsibility on her shoulders. She should be having fun. Oh well... as long as she does not rope me in to helping out, I don't really care.

Thursday was Boomer's birthday. He was 1. Our little boy is growing up. We started working with him and training him on using the Invisible Fence. We had it installed 3 years ago and it works great for Rufus and Riley. You have to mark where the fence is with flags. Kinda like the ones Digger's Hotline uses to mark your yard. So we have about 100 flags outlining the perimeter of our yard. Right now, we have the collar just beeping. When the collar beeps we pull him back from the flags. The next step is to introduce the shock. Don't worry, it is not a strong shock. More like a strong static electricity shock that you get in the winter. It startles them more than hurts them.

That about all for now. Have a good weekend everyone!!
