1. Do you think it pisses my neighbors off that the garbage man came on Monday and my can is still sitting in my driveway? In my defense, I left Monday morning to go to Nola for work and just came back tonight, but they don't know that. There's a bitty who lives a few houses down and I'm sure if it's still there when she walks her homely dog tomorrow evening, she'll come knock on the door.
2. Can someone remind me how to get dog poop off the soles of tennis shoes?
3. I bought these potted purple mums to put on either side of my front door, KNOWING that I once killed a cactus because I didn't water it enough. Those assholes are trying to leave me. I water them and I pull them out in the partial sun and they very clearly don't want to live here. The mum were the culprits responsible for my original dimmer switch purchases to be left in the buggy at the Home Depot, so if they have to sit out there and decay, they're not leaving. They owe me. Bitches.
4. The previous owners of this house left no instruction manuals. We froze our asses off in here the first few days because I couldn't figure out how to get the computer thermostat thingy to give me a comfortable temperature. I was able to Google the user's manual for the model we have and now we're golden.
5. We have a keypad by our backdoor that is supposed to control our driveway gate. OF COURSE no instructions were left. These were probably the kind of people who don't worry about change management when they leave a job. So again, I Googled the manual and followed all the directions and that sucker won't work. There's an 800-number on it, and I'll devote some time to Gates That Open (that's really their name) trying to get it to work tomorrow.
6. I have no one to assign these tasks to. I have started exchanging chores with the boys when they're here. They now feed the animals, clean the dining room table and help unload the dishwashers. I can't WAIT until they can do laundry and mow. And water the plants.
7. I found my first bug in here today. Orkin, here we come.
8. I'm not happy with my bedroom. I am making an Ikea trip while in Houston for dad's surgery.
9. We're getting a brand new washer and dryer this week or next. Corey pushed me to retire my Budget Appliance very used laundry systems for energy-efficient appliances.
10. My favorite thing to do every day is my before-bed ritual. Locks, alarms, lights, dishes in dishwasher, Murphy's final potty and kennel, boys final check when they're here, towels hung, doors closed, cushions straight, pillows fluffed, dog toys gathered and put away. It's my delight.
11. This is unrelated, but people want to put ads on this blog.
12. I alternate which side of the bed I sleep on in this new king-size bed. I don't want one side of it to be flatter than the other when Corey comes home.
13. I successfully ended the codepency and moved Murphy's kennel out of my bedroom. It was harder for me than for him, and I'm not ashamed of that.
14. I'm already seeing the need for an outdoor freezer.
15. The marketing of this as a two-car garage is a joke. Only one vehicle can make that big swing in and fit.
16. I checked the mail on Saturday. Then I left town and checked it again today. Each block has it's own set of mailboxes. When I went to check it today, my keys were still in it. WTF was I thinking? And how nice of my neighbors not to steal my shit!
