No Bozos

MONDAY
Taking only Bravo & Angus in the truck with us, Harriet & Isabelle angrily pawed at the screen door we left open for them. They were quite upset.

Went to get my nails done in Post Falls, mailed Kelsey's Hollister & AF boxes. It looks like it might be getting warmer in UK, so she might need her summer clothes.

Both of us were slightly hungry after getting done there, so I suggested the $50 in gift certificates for Red Lobster. RL has been running their Lobster Fest ads on TV, so we drove over there, walked the dogs before lunch and then had an enjoyable lunch. I ordered the Coastal Soup (Creamy Potato Bacon) & Grilled Shrimp salad. Hubby requested the Lobster Lovers Dream which is rock lobster tail and sweet split Maine lobster tail, roasted and served with shrimp, lobster and langostino linguini. We shared. Also had enough left over to bring home to the puppies. The waitress kept bringing more garlic biscuits to us even though we only had eaten one. The rest were wrapped up in a bag for the dogs.

Stopped at CDA Builders, Ziggys (Ziegler Lumber), & Stock Components to obtain bids for the new shop. They were all going to fax the info to us.

After dropping off our comforters at the dry cleaners, we returned home to share the leftovers with Harriet & Isabelle. I believe they forgave us for abandoning them when they smelled the succulent fish we carried!

This is the time of year that I detest the most. Spring is not a refreshing time of year around here. Instead it is fraught with mud & melting floody areas. Dirt & dust overwhelms the house within. The sunshine reveals all the dust bunnies & mess on the floor along with the filthy windows. It will be at least another solid month before the snow is gone; wherein I will be able to call the window cleaners, carpet cleaners, & do spring cleaning. I am champing at the bit to tidy up NOW. But it will all be wasted until I can do it later.

TUESDAY
Last night we watched HOUSE and I was quite disappointed that they took advantage of the audience by airing such a distressing plot line. The suicide of Kutner truly upset me as he was a little comic relief in such a serious show. I liked the fleshing out of his character and looked forward to what he might bring to the show.

Bravo went on walkabout this morning & while we were loading the dogs into the truck, Angus bolted after him. They made it all the way to the neighbors before hubby caught up with them. I am going to call on training classes for Angus today!

Angus is growing in leaps & bounds. She is 1 inch shorter than Harriet now. The poor little dog bites at her legs with the growing pains. It must be very excruciating to develop that quickly.

After we returned from getting drinks, there were multiple faxes waiting for us at home showing us the bids returned from the lumber yards. I can't wait for construction to begin!

Hubby's supervisor called. He will be returning to work on Monday next. 13 April 2009. Thank goodness. I am going to highly encourage him to apply for a different position that lasts all year long. He has been resistant to applying for something different as he relished the position that he has now. But if he is going to be unemployed for 1/2 of the year, that is cutting into our savings too much. If all things hold up well, he wants to put in another 5-6 years. Then retire.
