Last night Freya insisted on trying to fit in her old kennel that I used when I first got her. I tried for the longest time to coax her out of it (treats didn’t even work!) but she wanted to stay right where she was. I ended up getting her a pillow for her head & she slept in there the majority of the night.

Last night I took a quick trip to Walmart to grab a few things.  While I was in there it started raining… HARD. I roamed around Walmart for an extra 20 minutes waiting for the rain to slow down & headed to the checkout when I didn’t hear the rain pounding on the building anymore.  Well, the slow down was still a downpour… I got soaked on my way out to my vehicle.

On my way home I was amazed at how much flooding there was.  The water was passed the curb in some spots.  Just 2 blocks from my house there was a tree laying across the street.  I found out later that the storm caused a bit more damage in the neighborhood. I was so distracted by the tree in the street that I didn’t even notice the tree laying on top of Bonnie’s truck.

Once I got home and unloaded my Walmart loot (and got a second dose of drenched from the pool of water just before my front porch) , I went downstairs to start my laundry so I could get all my stuff packed & loaded in the truck in the evening.  That way, all I’d need to do after work today is load the doggies in the truck & get headin’ to BF’s for the weekend. Well, Mother Nature had another plan for me. The short & sudden downpour caused my basement to have a minor flood.  Some old blankets, sheets, rugs, on my basement floor got drenched… but at least they stopped the water from spreading too far. Unfortunately, those 5 loads of laundry took priority over my clothes so they wouldn’t start to mildew.

I ended up getting up at 6 a.m. so I could finish my laundry.  My clothes still aren’t packed and I have 3 doggies that need baths when I get home from work (I refrained giving them baths last night because I wanted them to be nice & fresh & clean and the humidity from last night and today would make them little stink bugs again).  So much for getting to BF’s early today. :(

I got a handcramp near the end otherwise it would have been a little higher. 

I had a baked potato for lunch today.  I went about my normal routine of eating the guts then tossing the skin. As I was tossing the skin in the garbage the voices of ExH1, ExH2, and BF were screaming at me in my head, “You should eat the skin, too!”  My thought back to the voices was, “Too bad for you. I’m not gonna and you’re not here to try to talk me into it.” Yes, sometimes I reply back to the voices in my head… but that’s a whole different set of issues.

Anyway, I find it funny that all three of them got on me for it and none of them have succeeded in getting me to eat the skin on a regular basis. I know the skins are good for me & blah, blah, blah. I just can’t eat ‘em.  Every now & then I’ll give in & try it but the same thing happens… as soon as I take a bite of the skin, I wanna hurl.

What’s funny is I will eat the skins from a baby red potato and I’ll also order Potato Skins as an appetizer.  But, I absolutely will not eat the skin from a baked potato (nor do I like them in my mashed potatoes, unless its from a baby red).

I also didn’t realize I had my blog offline still. I’m bright like that.
