Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

My ai-yah brother emailed me coupla nights ago and asked me how far am I to Minneapolis NE or the airport. I’m like, “Huh? What the hell?” So, I told him how far they are and he said he will be in town end of the month per customer’s request. It is a fly-in fly-out kinda deal. So, I told him to let me know in advance if I should meet him for lunch instead of dinner since the customer will be arranging his itinerary. He said he will keep me posted.

Tonight he sent an email to tell me to look in advance for a nice restaurant for us to go to when he’s in town. Die lah, he is a vegetarian and I’m a carnivorous, nevertheless I thought it’s okay if I have vegetarian for a night, it won’t kill me. I won’t have withdrawals. “Sweat and more sweat, drool and droollll”. It’s actually better for me, anyways. So now I have homework to do – go Google some vegetarian restaurants or some nice fancy restaurants in Minneapolis, St Paul or the Mall of America. Another person I can go ask is my boss and my “mentor”. They are experts in eating out at fancy restaurants.

I’m just pumped to get to meet him for the first time. Can’t wait.

Before we moved in to our house, we told the owners the dryer stays as it is a gas dryer and ours is a electric dryer. Everything is all fine and dandy till we did a load of laundry and put them in the dryer. Set the timer for an hour since they were jeans and sweat pants/shirts. An hour passed and checked the clothes, bloody hell, still so damp. Set the timer for another 40 minutes, and still not dry and then I set it for 30 minutes more. At last, afer two hours and ten minutes the clothes were dry. What kind of f-up dryer is that?? DB cleaned up the vents, vacuum it and even the lint filter, the results were the same. The gas bill sky rocketed to $150 plus. I have never paid that much for gas. Really outrageous.

DB had it, too with the dryer since he is the one who does the laundry. We called in the electrician yesterday who is my boss’ son (give him some businesslah, poor kid is unemployed right now) and gave us a price and DB said Okie Dookie. Mr Electrician will be back on Saturday to install a 2×20, I think that’s what they said which I have no damn interest at all. Once that whatever is installed, we will hook our electric dryer up and donate the old pathetic dryer or dump it.

Then the next project is to fix the leaking washer and install more electrical outlets in the house and hopefully install a ceiling fan in the living room and master bedroom which according to DB is going to be a BITCH to do.
