CHIPMoNK!

It rained a lot on Sunday night. There were storm warnings broadcasting on the television while we crossed our fingers & toes hoping that the electricity would manage to remain on.

The hubby thought about calling the kids to warn them, but I advised him that they were adults now and could probably handle a little bad weather on their own. If worst came to worst, they could scurry into a "real" building instead of the 15-year old trailer that he convinced them to temporarily rent!

Monday morning dawned early for hubby as he again got up to handle the dog poop in the house at 4AM; 'Lil Bit still has such a small bladder/kidneys that he still can't hold it completely through the night.

However, 'Bit did manage to get up to our room in the loft on Sunday morning. The little 12.5 week old puppy climbed the circular stairscase all on his own! So very proud of him! But that means he is traversing the outside stairs, running right through the fence! He is still so tiny that the fence means nothing to him! So I have to be extra careful when he is outside to make sure he doesn't run off under tires in the driveway!

There is a chipmunk (equals squirrel in hubby's mind) that is running around our house. It hides in the rock garden, behind the garage & out in the trees. Isabelle is obsessed with it, but hasn't been able to catch it yet - not for lack of trying though. see pic. She tore up the landscaping we had around the back of the garage.

After work, hubby took me to Airway Heights to the Wally-World there to get my nails done at Regal Nails. On the way through Spoky-Jo, we stopped at Joe Jr's house to drop off the automotive part that hubby had worked on for him.

I have completely finished with my other nail salon. Their latest work was awful. It has been going downhill for sometime, but I just haven't been able to make a change. However, Regal Nails is similar in service to the place where KRL-N took me in Tucson. They massage. They pamper. They fix. They do very good nail work. My nails are straight instead of crooked. Clean instead of dirty with paint over them! I am very thoroughly thrilled with them & even gave them a compliment on their website.

M&K met us at the nail place. Talked to hubby about the independent inspection on their new home they wish to purchase. K showed us the folder & paperwork that came with the inspector. Hope their loan goes through now! We then decided upon The Hut for a late dinner. We were surprised to find that you have to order at the front with no sit-down service. Also, no beer! How can you eat pizza without beer?

We had to settle on this place as we wanted to eat at The Rusty Moose (Rusty Nail? Mangy Moose? Ragged Pigeon? - whatever) On Fox28, the restaurant is offering a 2 for 1 gift certificate which you have to purchase & they will mail it out in 7-10 days. Have to wait until then to eat there.

On the way home, hubby called another "guy" who had some automotive parts. We rendezvous at the Fred Meyer near I-90 to purchase said parts. Hubby then needed to stop at Krispy Kreme as he had a craving for do-nuts! This delayed us getting home for TWO freakin' hours. It seemed like forever.

This morning, the dogs got to playing. . . running through the laundry room. They happened to tip over the cooler that still had over 3 gallons of melted ice in it! I had repeatedly asked hubby to take it back out to the truck, but obviously he forgot. As the dogs were locked inside while the lawnmower kids were here, Angus decided to leave a little doo-doo for me in that room. So when the water dumped, it floated the poo all over. Yuch. Another mess to clean up. Darn dogs.

What a way to start a Tuesday! Isn't it hump-day yet?

Called to make an appointment for 'Lil Bit at the Vet for Wednesday at 10AM. Don't forget. (I'm talking to myself!)

Note* With all the rain, it smells dingy & moldy outside.
