happy new years!

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

i hope you had a great new years eve.  i spent mine nuzzled on the couch with my kids, watching the ball drop in NYC via CNN.  

A new month, a new year, and TONS of paperwork.  I decided today I need a secretary.  Im trying to get all my paperwork together and can find nothing. LOL.  I spent a good 10 minutes thinking “now, where WOULD I have put that one” for every single file I needed today.   lol… 

New Year = New Goals…

  • project 365
  • daily art journal

JAN 1 Writing Prompt

I found these little writing prompts at belaonline.
Week 1 is:  Write a six word epitaph…
mine is simple enough, and proven true today….
“Too much office equals back pain.”

lol.  I have been in my office since 7am doing payroll and starting  my end of the year paperwork.  I came out at 6:30.  Too many hours for this old body.  Must pace myself.  Its not going anywhere.  It can get done when it gets done…. yes yes, I know.

 

PROJECT 365

Since I failed miserably at last years Project 365, I thought I would try AGAIN.  I WILL do this! I CAN do this!  Im GOING to do THIS!  Dont know what I’m talking about?  Read this.

P365 day 1….
the things I looked at ALL day.

sigh, i do hate paperwork.

back you horrible beast! back!

on top of being sick over Christmas, we found out my Sweetz has been being violated.  Oh yes, Sweetz has a new man and I have named him McNasty!

Here he is hiding waiting for me to go back inside, so he can sneak in….

I SEE YOU MCNASTY!!!  SHOOOO!!!! SHOOOOOO!!!!!

IMG_3248

You see…

We had a good fence.  Until this past week.  McNasty has taken up with digging UNDER it to get into my back yard, to have his way with my pug.  We have spent Christmas holiday having to take my dog out into our FENCED IN YARD, because she cant be left unattended.    The other night, I heard scratching on the door and sleepily got up thinking I must have left our dog outside, to my surprise it was THAT DOG!   It had dug back into our yard AGAIN and was scratching on the door.  This dog has ruined our yard, our fence, and Im sure our dog will have a nice batch of unknown puppies….

It has to belong to somebody, though it doesn’t have a collar.  Its been so rainy and is muddy, but as you can see the dog is white and CLEAN.  I find it hard to believe it is a stray.

How can I keep it from digging under my fence!!! 

I called the Humane Society yesterday, and they came out.  Of course he was no where to be seen.  They said his owners are legally liable for our fence which is good.  They just have to catch him, and when they come to claim him my insurance company will know who to sue….

Here is McNasty sitting across the street OUT BACK.  A fairly good distance away, my camera was on FULL ZOOM…  its across our back yard, another back yard, a street, and another yard.  See him.   Watching and WAITING for Sweetz to come out to play.

And when I open the door….  HERE HE COMES!!!!

No MCNASTY NO!!!!!!!  Back I say!!! BACK!!!

IMG_3242

Here he is noticing ME up on the deck, taking pictures!

Yes, I see you McNasty!!!  Put that back in your pocket buddy, you wont get to use it TODAY!!!!  The jig is UP!!!

IMG_3247

 

Here’s some of the damage McNasty and his hormones have done.  My man thang is FURIOUS.  We have temporarily fixed about 8 holes and tears, but every time we go out we find more….

DAMN YOU MCNASTY!!!!  CURSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andrea said it was obviously MY FAULT!  That me letting Sweetz go out in her cute little pink tutu was just tooooo tempting for McNasty!  Bullocks I say!   What she wears does not make it ok for him to just rip into our yard and have his way!!!

I will get you McNasty!  And you WILL a rue the day!

 

CURSESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!  <~ screamed like Mojo Jojo… LOL

lol.

Sorry I havent been around much: holidays, barfing, flat tires….  Yea, its been interesting. LOL.

The family have all officially headed back home.  I have officially stopped barfing.  The kids are happy.  All is good in the world. lol….

I hope you all had a great Christmas.  I woke up Christmas eve/Christmas morning doing the poo & pu combo.  I have never been so sick or made so many bathroom trips in my entire life.  I was so sick Christmas day my poor DH was forced into cooking his very own FIRST Christmas dinner.  From what I hear he did a great job for a first timer.  My Dad said the ham was great, and DH even figured out what I bought the Velveeta for!  I’m so proud of him.  I vaguely remember him coming down to ask me how to cook everything, and I remember hearing him write down what I was telling him.  Other then that I remember MANY bathroom trips, and bottles of water. LOL…

I publicly apologize to my BrotherInLaw and my Niece, who both went home with my holiday cooties.

I did get a few pics on Christmas Eve, before my cooties kicked in….

My Granny and my Sister in their cute little Christmas shirts.  LOL…

Mean ass kids.   Smile for the camera and pretend its CHRISTMAS dammit!

IMG_3206

IMG_3205 

lol…

I did get up with the kids at 6 to open gifts….
but man, sitting there for pics without barfing everywhere was HARD..

look,  Bug even got a hair cut!  My sister whacked about 5 inches of Bugs hair yesterday.  Cant you tell the difference? lol…  Yea, no one else can either.  But I can!    No more giggles in the shower because her wet hair is hitting her booty! lol…

IMG_3213

WIIIIIII stuff!  Yay!

IMG_3233

Awww… even Pepaw got something great!  

TIP:  What do you get the man who has everything?  Well, after you’ve walked around 2 stores for HOURS, you call them on the cell and say “look man, if you don’t tell me something to get your RIGHT NOW, your getting Hef Pajamas.”  LOL….

IMG_3230

anyway,

Christmas was great.  I guess.  Im not sure because I slept and barfed thru it. I manged to miss the holidays, and get stuck with cleanup and 3 days worth of catching up to do.  Yay me.  {yep, MORE sarcasm.  Imagine such a thing. LOL}

Hope you had a great Christmas!  Or, at least better then MINE!  Im off to watch the House marathon, and snuggle under an electric blanket.

{Hugs}
