Siete de Mayo



Missed Cinco de Mayo, but we did go out to celebrate. After my first belly-dancing class on Monday night, we stopped at Sonic to get a Coney Dog. Then ran over to Wendy's for cheeseburgers for the dog.


Wendy's have changed their 99¢ Bacon Cheeseburger so that it is now $1.29 and has a cheap thin outer paper instead of the heavy foil wrapper (probably going green) and the sandwich itself has a different beef; cheaper cheese, one piece of bacon instead of two, and a dried-out bun. The wrapper does not keep the sandwich warm on the way home - so this is not a deal anymore. Too bad Dave is dead. He would be outraged.


Isabelle has been shaking her ears lately, so when we investigated it appeared that she had bites within. We took her into the doctor yesterday at 11:45am - the vet tested a sample to diagnose a yeast infection. Two drops of liquid for the ears along with prednisone pills for the swelling will be routine for the next couple weeks. Poor dog.


Not wanting to jinx anything, I do have to say that it has not SNOWED for 3 days in a row here. The present snow that is on the ground actually is disappearing. However, we do have a few giant mounds here and there. Rain has been coming down for the past couple days - just lightly - so it is helping with our driveway rehabilitation.


Our Lifetime Guaranteed Levolor "Cordless" Mark 1 miniblinds quit working in 2 rooms; when we ordered them in 2000 I specifically got country colors to match the home - took the blind slat samples to Home Depot and had them mix custom colors to paint the doors for each room. Now we find out that they have discontinued the colors and we get to pick from some gross, disgusting bright colors. Frick.

My tulips are coming up all over. Amazing to see things like this with bits of snow inbetween. LOL!

Hubby and I have been following the Austrian Incest case with an unhealthy interest. Just when you think you have "heard it all" something comes along to shock the senses yet again. Did you realize that even Wikipedia has a page devoted to it already? Technology. Gotta love it.
