Circus Day

Tomorrow will be a busy day. Within the same four-hour time frame, AT&T will be here to install our Uverse technology while Bassett is here to adjust some things with our new entertainment wall while CEXA is here to set up our new television.

I told Todd we should leave the dogs out and just turn it in to a circus. :)

It's Not Sunshine to ME!

WTH???? Here is a C&P from the mainly one-sided text conversation on my phone today. What part of wrong number do you not understand, fool?

11:23 am -
443-XXX-XXXX: Did u get ur pics Babe?

1:05 pm -
443-XXX-XXXX: Did u get ur pics or what man? <:p>

1:06 pm -
Me: You have the wrong #

1:07 pm -
443-XXX-XXXX: No I do not!!!

1:08 pm -
Me: Then who are you?

1:10 pm -
443-XXX-XXXX: Ur want to b future wife lol! And damn how many woman do u have sendin u pics? U better stop playin wit me Mon

1:13 pm -
Me: Seriously - you have the wrong #. Please stop sending texts so you can find the person you really want to contact.

1:15 pm -
443-XXX-XXXX: Yeah ok, I want u to remember this next time u ask me to send any more pics to yah! The Empress is hurt

FF four hours to just when you think "The Empress" is gone . . .

5:20 pm -
443-XXX-XXXX: Peek-a-Boo <:D>

6:43 pm -
Me: Seriously- YOU HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER.

6:53 pm -
443-XXX-XXXX: Ok thank u! Sorry about that!

DUDE . . . what do people not understand about "YOU HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER." I was getting reading to call "The Empress" back to let her know that I am not her future husband, that I didn't get her pics, and that she has the wrong number!

Personal to : I'm not sure who it was that you were trying to reach, but hopefully you now realize that you were texting the wrong person. If you text me again, I will share your phone number with everyone I know, including everyone on this blog, and suggest to everyone that they text YOU this time. :)

Get out.

Squirrels. In our house. In the walls. Of our bedroom. On my side of the bed. Scratching. Squeaking. Storing nuts. Scampering. Bastards.

All is Well with the World

Todd is home after being out of town for eight days, yesterday was Valentine's Day, and our new furniture was delivered!



Now that Todd is home, the animals and I feel like everything is right with the world. And our den looks really good now, too!

Delivery Day!

Tomorrow our new furniture is being delivered. Tonight will be packing DVDs and cleaning. Then, we'll have a new TV to buy and our fiber optic network will be installed. YEA!!!

Pictures to come . . .

Alone in the Storm

We had severe storms last night, so with Todd out of town, I was prepared. I knew I would probably feel like a fool when it was all over, but I didn't want to take the chance. I closed the door to our back hall and gathered the following in our bedroom:

- the dogs
- the cat
- cell phone
- home phone
- laptop
- flashlight
- candle and lighter
- pillows
- ponytail holder

I put on my wedding ring & tennis shoes just in case . . . the shoes in case there was any damage & my wedding ring so it wouldn't get lost and/or my dead body could be identified. That kind of paranoia comes from being my sister's sister. :)

The severe weather alerts were on TV, but the satellite lost its connection more than once. The sirens began wailing, and the storm started. Sounds of strong rain, lightning, thunder and maybe some hail created quite a spooky symphony outside. I called my nieces to have them take cover, called my mom who didn't answer her phone, and called my Dad who didn't answer the phone. Luckily my stepmom answered my Dad's cell phone when I called it, so at least I had someone to talk to right then! The sirens didn't last long, so I didn't gather our three dogs and cat with myself in Todd's small closet. Dogs and cats in a small closet - that would've been almost as rough as a tornado!

Luckily it all blew through pretty quickly. I finally took off my shoes and ring and let the dogs back into the house. Then, after the storms were completely through our area, the freaking sirens went off again. What was that about?

I finally gave up and went to sleep after 11:00pm. Thankfully, there was no need for any of things I gathered to weather the storm. Not even my ponytail holder.

Girl Power

Unfortunately, life has been incredibly stressful and hectic for us lately. The lack of blogging definitely proves it. I'll just ask you to keep Todd, me, and our families in your prayers.


To tide you over . . . Steve & Pippin were playing yesterday, and Stevie (being the gregarious, narcissistic, uncontrolled, spoiled brat he is) took the play too far. Pipp held her own & showed him who is really in charge!
