Life with the Three Crazy Dogs

The neighborhood is having another round of garage sales.  This time around there are 7 houses are participating.  Our neighbor asked us if we want to join in with him, I do not feel like digging up our junk covered with several inches of dust.  I wanted to go around the sales and look for some light fixtures for our outdoor lights.  I might do that later, maybe tomorrow.  But then the thought of spending money again is keeping me away from these sales. 

I received a very early Christmas present yesterday.  It came in a DHL package, asked DB what’s in there, he said it was for me. Saw the returned address from IBM Corporation and then…..my bro’s name, the bro in Boston.   Opened the package and box which was so light, as if there is nothing in there.

Then korek-korek the paper, I saw this…….

What it is???  It’s an iPod Nano.  Holy schmoly!  I was beaming from ear to ear.  I was going to hook it up to my PC to download my music and podcasts, but was too busy dinking with DB’s Blackberry.  He needs me to customized his phone…..i guess he thinks I’m more efficient with these sort of crap.

Ok, back to the iPod, I’m sure shocked to received it.  Never mentioned an iPod to him before.  So is it becoz he got one for my sis last year, he got one for me, too?  I had to call him today to thank him instead of writing him an email.  Unfortunately, the call went into his voicemail.  You know how it is talking to a machine, a lot of ahs, ers, and mhms.  Hope he gets what I was trying to say.

So, now, I’m gonna go mess around with it…….

Yes, I am talking about Chase, the little fella.  He had the worse Hershey sprays ever last night or could be very early this morning while we were still sleeping.  There were poop sprays on the walls, carpets, rugs and patio door, from the dining room to the executive office.  We still could not figure out why he does not whine to let us know he wants out like how the other will do when they need to got out urgently.  DB woke up and smelled the wonderful smell of “fresh flowers”.  He spent the whole day getting the stains/smell out, vacumm and then shampoo the carpets again.  So much stress for me even I was not doing the cleaning.  Why?  Because of the smell that is still lingering in the house, stress which give me all the zits I don’t want.  Soon I will need to get acne treatments for my zits if I am not going to de-stress myself and also if Chasey boy won’t stop licking me all the time.  He has this licking addiction in him that is not going away.  Anyways, I am going to sprink more baking soda on the spots where he did his emergency tomorrow, let them sit for an hour and then vacumm.

I bought some plain t-shirts from the craft store last week and what am I going to do with them?  I am going to get some airbrush and paint for my friend’s kid, Gina.  I told her I would get some for her last month but I spaced it right out until yesterday I was at the craft store I remembered it.  Gina is only 9 years old but she is so artistic.  She is able to draw and paint at an early age.  She wanted to draw her designs on t-shirts, paint them and sell them for her cousin’s fund raising who is now in the hospital recovering from severe burns.  Thoughtfulness from a young-un.

Went to work this morning to find out one of my coworker’s brother is suffering from cancer.  All of us in the office did not know where she went to for the past 3 weeks.  It turned out she had to take care of her brother who the docs diagnosed him of cancer from mesothelioma.  His brother used to handle asbestos in his job.  All the dust he was breathing into his lungs is now making him so sick.  He is now in his second chemotherapy and will see how the treatment goes, he will have to go through radiation, too.
