Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

With all these holidays going on the past few weeks or for the past few months I should say, consumers must have maxed out their credit cards.  I know SD and BF did.  They were in the midst of moving. They had to rent and also shop for the holidays.  Needless to say, they did maxed out on whatever credit cards they have.  He is looking at other credit card companies to transfer the balances.  It is always a smart idea to find and make comparisons to which credit card before jumping right to the one you think is right.   BF looked through websites for Fair Credit Credit Cards as his and SD’s credit scores are not the best, very low actually.  At creditcardsearchengine.com, you can find the type of credit cards from different providers you want and compare them to find the right one to suit your payment types, that is to look for a low APR, balance transfers, intro period, and if they have annual fees. 

…I have changed my Friday vacation for Monday, but I know I will get a reminder from my boss if I did it.  Why she would do that?  Because there will be no one in our department for that Monday, Dec 31.  The big boss is off, too.  So, I have no choice but to come in.  I’m just not into getting back to the grind stone.  I suppose I can look at the bright side of things….I can work on my other stuff, like writing posts.

Yep, BIL bought a new Chevy Silverado truck with the stainless steel Chevy billet grilles.  Brand spanking new and it’s red in color.  He and his son came up to the cities for a drive this weekend.  No wonder BIL works so many jobs.  He sold his old truck and got this new one all with cash!!  He works 3 jobs in a week: 2 jobs with the paramedics and a job with the sheriff’s department.  Plus, he does auto detailing, too with the son.  Hard work pays off!

Darn, I forgot about this week’s Photohunt again.  It just hit me while I was checking my emails.   Here is it for this week’s theme: Messy.  My messy office at home.  It has been in this condition since the beginning of this year, I think, or in July.  I know for sure I got rid of some of the text books from last year.  Yeah, I’m not a very tidy person.

I’m so getting used to these 3 days off, and work one day and off another few more.  I better enjoy it while I can coz after next week, we won’t have any days off (federal at least) till January 21 for Dr. MLKJr’s day and then February 18 for President’s Day.

I had the day (Friday) off yesterday.  Went to Cole’s Salon for my haircut in the morning.  That girl still can’t get what I wanted for a haircut.  It snowed when I got home, more like a nuisance snow.  Not much but enough to coat the driveways and streets to make them slippery enough that every one needs to slow down.  I went to get my text books for school which costs me a bomb.  For two books, one used and the other brand spanking new, the total came to $168+.  Damn expensive if you ask me.  Then drive all the way back to my neck of the woods for groceries. 

Yeah, I bought a set of flannel linen for our bed.  DB washed them this morning and they are now we have fresh flannel linen for tonight.  Will have to see if it’s warmer for DB.  I don’t mind the cotton linen but DB finds it too cool to lay on in the winter. 

Today I hardly did much.  Vacummed the carpets and it was just horrible.  Dust and dog hair and more dog hair and dust.  Coopster really need a brushing again, but I have not got to it yet, and they need a bath too.  DB’s going to bathe Ranger tomorrow.  That dog has more problems than I do.  This time around he has an ear infection and is on antibiotics and ear drops for 10 days.   Oh, and I was putzing around on Facebook this morning.  I found a classmate of mine from when I was in my secondary school.  We were once in contact but lost touch for many years.  Thanks to Facebook, we are now back in action.

And for dinner, I cooked noodles, those dry noodles.  Didn’t bother to take a picture coz it just wasn’t what I wanted.  I should have cooked the noodles in hot water first before dumping it to the wok to fry!!!!  Lesson learned.  We are also trying to use up the ham as much as we can.  DB is having ham sandwiches every day.  He said will make bean soup with the bone, but will see if he will do it.  He is so into getting his computer fix right now.

For now, it’s movie time for me.  That’s what I have been doing every night since the week before Christmas.  Thank you to Blockbuster Online, yeah, but I’m thinking of signing up with Netflix.  They are cheaper for the same amount of rented DVDs.

TTFN, folks.
