Damn Cat

This is the SECOND time that the cat spilled water - but this time it was more water, and I wasn't in the room for the few seconds it took for the full glass to soak into my bed.  Lovely.  And since I only have ONE set of sheets at this time - I have to let it dry out before I can use the bed again.  Needless to say, I've been up all night and it's not even close to being dry - I can only hope that it's dry by the time I go to bed TONIGHT - or it's sofa city for me.  Not a great thought considering that the sofa is a love-seat, and I'm too tall for it...

Satellite next month, hopefully - that's the plan...  didn't really WANT satellite, but in this town your choices are very limited - so I guess I'll take what I can get.

Late Night w/Friends

Stayed over at Deb's last night - haven't done that in awhile, and it was fun.  First Bruce made bacon & cheese hot dogs (yummmmm), and then Deb and I checked out the puppies.  SO CUTE!!!  The littlest one, which she calls "Runt", I actually named "Cuddles" - cause when you hold him, that's what he does, he cuddles with you.  It was adorable.

Then we sat down to do some crochet work, and watched old Carol Burnett shows on DVD.  Very relaxing, very funny - just a really nice night.

The unfortunate thing is that I woke up hella early -  probably because I wasn't sleeping in my own bed...  I mean, we were up until 2am, so you would think I could sleep past 7am - but no, lol.  It's okay though - I didn't mind.

Beautiful day today - wondering when Spring is going to take hold of Ely, instead of teasing us, lol...

Taking Life as it Comes

Okay, it's not that the cable isn't available in my exact area of Ely - it's two things; one, they took my money IMMEDIATELY and it's going to take 3-5 business days to get it back.  And two, they should have known BEFORE I was even charged that they wouldn't be able to do the job here.  Is it any wonder that I contacted the BBB about them this morning?  Talk about bad business practices.

So, no cable - and I'm totally broke for the next 3 to 5 business days.

Never, NEVER, do business with CentraCom cable.

One more lovely issue - all the pipes are backed up in my bathroom.  Yes, that means the toilet too.  Why do they always want to blame you?  They even had the nerve to ask me if I had flushed a wash cloth - I kid you not.  Needless to say, no wash cloths were flushed...  waiting for them to come back and scratch their heads some more.

All of this, and I'm actually doing okay - go figure.

Eostre - and Puppies...

Had a really good day at Deb's yesterday.  Ate a great meal - ham, baked potatoes, corn, buttery biscuits, and banana cream pie for desert (no chocolate dammit!!) - then vegged out and watch television all day.

Jenna (Deb's Husky) was in her birthing pen all day as well - waiting...  every hour or so, one of us would get up to check on her to see how she was doing, or to let her out to use the bathroom.  But, she didn't have her puppies until this morning - so I missed it.  3 girls and 2 boys - and unfortunately the picture that I was sent over the phone was a little blurry.  Hopefully I'll see the babies tomorrow and get a better shot of them.  If they look anything like the litter before, I'm sure they're adorable.  :)

Anyway, so I had a great day yesterday.  It was nice to just relax and not do anything, lol.

Today, hopefully, cable will be hooked up and running.

Is it any wonder I'm in a fantastic mood?  :)
