Another Day. Another Dollar. But No Snow.


Sunday, January 5, 2009

Wow. Another whole year gone. Where did the time go?

We got ready & left early. Packed all the dogs into the Dodge pickup. Stopped in CDA to pick up lattes at Human Bean. They were delicious. What little I got to drink of mine. As we drove into the parking lot in the Spokane REI, hubby hit an enormous BUMP. My drink spilled and the dogs went flying! Not literally. Figuratively.

Kelsey picked up some gloves & goggles. When we noticed there was a building beam that had been broken. We got out of the store in a hurry as there have been a numerous amount of buildings collapsing due to excessive snow load.

Wal-Marts in Airway Heights, Post Falls & Sandpoint have all been closed for an indefinite time so that snow can be removed & inspections made to structural integrity.

Greg had been craving steak and since both he & Kelsey had gotten Outback gift certificates we went over the Valley Mall to eat. We were somewhat early so Kelsey went into the mall to look for other necessities.

When we finally got the restaurant, Greg’s steak came out underdone. He had to return it, then it was cooked too much & inedible. We packed up the leftovers for the dogs.

Headed over to Rathdrum to grocery shop, then home in the fading daylight.

We only got about 6 inches of snow instead of the predicted 1 foot. Thank goodness as it was quite a relief not to have the excessive dig-out!

Topped off the fish tank with warm water, then fed them. It reassures me that winter does not seem to faze them. They are swimming around as usual.

After hubby took Isabelle with him to the latte stand - she needed a little bit of daddy one-on-one time. . . he came back & discovered that the Garage Doctor was here. The Garage Dr. fixed our door in lickety-split time and will BILL us! Amazing that a company even does that anymore. I love those people.

Walked with the dogs several times down to the shop. Harriet ran a lot with Bravo. Isabelle ran and played with both of them. Bravo had to struggle just to maintain his own with the two bigger dogs!

The Fed Ex brought hubby's Drill Doctor. A neat gizmo that will sharpen all his dull drills. Yippee. He was like a kid holding onto his excitement when he opened the box.

The US Mail consisted of junk. Down the shredder with those useless pieces. Then the UPS man brought the Infamous Hard Drive. . . Seagate FreeAgent 1TB. However, mine is junk. It won't respond. All it shows is that when I attempt to transfer a file to it, "file is corrupted". I very nearly chucked it in the garbage, I was so mad at the dumb thing. However, it is going to be returned. And I was so looking forward to having all my files consolidated into one hard drive.
