Hopping Like Mad
Man, I'm getting lazy in updating this blog... Over a whole week has passed without an update! Shame on me!!
I feel like the proverbial chicken running around with its head chopped off! We've been fixing up the house and cleaning and trying to "keep" it clean like crazy. Our house has been on the market now for a week, but no showings yet. The realtor has said he's received about 4-5 calls, but mostly information investigative type calls so far. Still have a few little jobs to finish up on the house, but nothing major.
We have also got one of those kennel/cage things for the dog and we're keeping her in the garage. It's working out pretty good. No more late night barkings, which should be keeping the neighbors happy, and she's doing good by not pooping/peeing in the cage. We take her out about every two hours and take her out in the evenings/weekends so she can run around and get some exercise. It seems to be working out ... Finally! At first, she was bending part of the cage below the door and then was able to push out the plastic tray bottom out of the cage. I did a few modifications to the cage and she seems to have stopped trying to "dig out."
My parents have headed down to Texas for some filming and training classes for their computerized quilting machine. They seem to be having a good time meeting new people and selling machines! :-)
Last Monday (Aug 2nd), we went to the bank to meet with a Loan Officer to get the loan approval for our new house loan... Kinda makes me sick to see the higher payments that I'll be paying for a LONG time (we're looking at a 30 year loan...). Ugh.
Also, last week (Tues, Aug 3rd) we had our Primary elections here in our fine state. We overwhelmingly passed an amendment to our state constitution to state that marriage is between one man and one woman. We were the first state to pass something like that. I know other states were watching as they also have the same amendment on their ballots coming up soon. Our democratic incumbent governor was also beat out by the democratic challenger... That hasn't happened in a long time either... but I'm pretty happy it did... :-)
Just saw on the CNN website today that actress Fay Wray passed away on Sunday, Aug. 8th. She of course was the famous screaming leading lady in the classic "King Kong" movie. She was 96. We just re-watched that movie not too long ago...
Blessings!
