This picture was taken last month on one of my after work afternoon walks.

Someone dropped their keys on their walk and a good samaritan found it and went all the way to put the bunch of keys in a ziplock and post it up on a diy cardboard sign  tied it on the speed zone post.   The very next day, the wind was gusting big time.  I saw the Lost keys and bag flopping around but it hung around for a day.  However, on the third day, the ziplock bag felled off the cardboard which I kinda thought it would coz the wind didn’t die down at all.  The ziplock is now in between the tall grass below the speed zone post.  The cardboard is no where to be found. 

I walk past this every day the bag is still there.  Apparently the owners of this bunch of keys didn’t know some nice fella found them and put it hoping the owners will claim it. 

The snow is going to fly tonight and tomorrow.  The weather guys said the most snow (6-8 inches) fromsouth of the metro and that’s we are now to the south of the state.  This bag of keys will be in “hiding” for a good 5 months!

The weather is so warm. Right now the temp is 64F and so was yesterday. I was short sleeves/t-shirt weather. I had on a long sleeves shirt and took the boys out for their walk and I was hot. Crazy.

I took this picture last month with temp of around lower 60′s F and people are out driving their motorcycles and roofless cars! Nice Camaro by the way.

Last year this time I was already shovelling snow back at the old house.  This year, the ground is still warm, it’s cool in the mornings with temps of 30′s F(-1+ C) or 40′s (4+C).  Provided it’s not damn windy, it’s nice walking weather.  It’s actually nice to go out when I’m so warm when I get out from bed.  Yes I’m practically roasting in the bedroom even the vents are shut.  We don’t open the windows becoz of highway traffic.  The man said I’m always hot becoz of my pillows on me – I have to have a pillow on my chest when I’m sleeping. 

The weather guys say today will be the last of the nice warm day for November.  I guess the cold will come bite us on our butts very soon.

It’s been a week since I wrote something here.   So much going on but just don’t have the mood to pen them down.  My mood is back to normal, whatever normal is.  At least I know I have my appetite to eat.  Whatever few pounds I had lost in a week’s, is  slowly creeping back!  Good and bad, I guess.  No more anxiety attacks!

Last Friday early morning it was raining crazy, so heavy the ground is not even soaking them in fast enough.  As usual the county we live in will sound the severe weather sirens on while we are asleep.  The numerous thunders work me up couple of times.  When I got up at 3:50 it was still pouring straight down.   No choice have to still take Ranger out for his business.  The other two, they can do it by the yard. 

From all the rain that night/morning, we had water leakage in the walk-in closet in the master bedroom.  Water was leaking from the light that flows right into the globe, onto the carpet and also on the walls to the door frame (door to the walk-in closet).  DB saw it while he was getting ready for work.  And I was still using the switch to turn the light on for the closet room.  Stupid!!!!!

Since DB cannot use phones/pc or anything for communicating to the outside world, I have to call the landlord/lady when I got to work.  5 am to call them was too early.  I called them at 7, left a message, landlord called back right away.  That’s the start of the whole charade of  phone calls back and forth with him.   DB does not get home till 6:30-6:45 pm, I have to take care of it myself.  The landlord had management to call me to arrange for a time to fix it that day but landlord wanted to take a look at it first.  I left work at 12:30, went straight home and straighten the house!  Damn, need to pickup the crap that was laying all over the house, vacuumed and dust!  I was thinking to myself it was good that I vacuumed the stairs every week.  There is not much dog hair accumulated on the stairs from weekly vacuuming tho I bitch about doing it all the time….it’s a back breaker to vacuum the carpet on the stairs.  I have not dusted the house since we moved in in May.  Superb house keeper I am!!

Management and his crew sealed up the leak which was coming in from one of the vents, pulled out the insulation in the walls.  Thank goodness the carpets are spared, they weren’t soaking wet when we saw the leak.  The crew will be back tomorrow I think to install insulation since they said it will take about 3-4 days to get the walls dry up.

I’m hoping they will come in this afternoon or tomorrow since it’s DB’s weekend.  If they don’t show up on these two days, I will have to call the landlord to be there when the maintenance crew come – just for safety sake.

Like I mentioned on the previous post, our two-year is up for a cellphone upgrade with our cellphone provider.  DB is itching to get his upgraded to another BB Curve.  Right now he has a BB Curve 8330.  He is looking at the BB Curve 8530 in black.  He put on a ton of usage on his phone and I don’t even know how many times he has dropped that phone.  All these usage was when he was in TX – calls and texting day in day out from morning till he goes to bed.  From the surface the phone has a lot of scratches and some of the numbers and alphabets are rubbing off the keys. 

I on the other hand will just stick to my LG enV@2 for now which looks like this which I took from here.

DB said I should go a head and look at which one I want.  I was told by my coworker to check out HTC Imagio which is compatible with the phone provider.   The only drawback about this phone is the touch screen thingy.  Hate all the finger prints all over the screen.  The features are good especially the camera with 5 megapixels. 

As of writing this, DB is checking out the BB Bold 9650 Smartphone.  Under this phone plan, he is the primary holder and I’m the secondary.  Some phones that I really like I have to pay some $$ in order to get it (BB Curve, HTC, LG).  The freebies are quite “loh toh”, not that canggih looking.  So, I might just have to wait on mine for now.  When DB decides which one he wants and if he feels like forking out a few bucks for mine, I will decide which to get. 

Anyone used Motorola phones before?
