Randomness

Went to bed at 2:45am and got woke up at 7am. The freaking fracking neighbors honking into my ear. She was apparently trying to tell her daughter to hurry the blank up!
Yes I know most of you have heard me grip about the honking and I regret putting you through it again.
But seriously, HOW is it she doesn't grasp the knowledge that that horn could possible wake up her neighbor!!!! OMG, I am soo cranky this morning!
I'll move on...

In other news at the Welchland:

Last night while peaceably watching V (yes hubby has gotten me hooked), Taco went to jump up on the couch and jumped right on Chaquita. She was under the covers sound asleep and as soon as it happened, she came unglued and come charging out from those covers and attacked Taco. Taco screamed and I jumped up and tried to break it up. Once in their prospective corners, Taco was still screaming. I picked him up and rushed him to the kitchen and proceed to investigate. Yup, she had bitten his lip and he was bleeding. It wasn't bad and it stopped bleeding within minutes, but every time Taco was even remotely in her line of sight he whimpered and tucked his head into my armpit!

Yesterday I went to the thrift store. Mostly to get away from the possibly chance of eating through my day (I'm trying folks), but also cause I just need to get out of the house.

Here are some of the items I found at the thrift store:

On my way back from the thrift store, I was going down a gravel road and in the distance I could see there was someone on the side of the road. I thought it was this old guy that rides his bike all the time, but no it turned out to be a daddy with his son in a stroller. That was a pleasant surprise. I immediately slowed way down, as to let the dust settle and to not possible throw gravel at them. The man just looked and looked at me with a frown on his face. This puzzled me very much.

Have we become a society that disregards our fellow people soo much that when a common courtesy is done, they find it to be strange behavior?

I rode my bike for all of five minutes yesterday morning. I wanted to at least do more than that, but I'm going to have to build myself up to it. Very Very out of shape!

I guess that is it for today, my mind is drawing a blank right now and I need to get to the lawn mowing.

Yall have a great day!

Stop the Honking!!

The trailer behind us has been empty for a few months. Two days after Thanksgiving, a family of 5 or 6 moved in.

Everyday this family and I guess their Friends or family, have been driving me crazy.

People pull into their driveway and sit in their cars and honk. I have never liked this practice and it is making me screaming mad. Not to mention, my dogs will bark every time! Even worse, is that I am expecting a package from the mail lady and she will honk cause I have a gate. So, every time I hear a honk I have to check to see if it is for me.

I find this behavior rude to the neighborhood and to the person the honk is for. If I was to get honked at from my driveway...from some one other than the mail lady... you can bet your bottom dollar, that person would get yelled at for being so friggin lazy and RUDE!

Sorry Mom! It reminds me of when my mother would start honking as she was getting in front of my house, all the kids would quickly pile out (cause it looked like she didn't even stop) and my mom would drive away. Grrr, I would get sooo mad! It felt like a rudeness directed at me. No asking if I could watch them or even if I had time to watch them. Just drop them off and run, with just a friggin honk as a warning! That is probably why I don't like it so much.

It also reminds me of a scene in my mind, of a young girl going out on a date and the boy sits in his car and honks. The father refuses to let the girl go, till the boy comes to get the girl proper like. I know that if I had ever dated someone with a car, my dad would have never allowed a honking boyfriend!

Maybe if I put this up in my yard

They would get the idea!

What ever happened to the days when people actually cared about their neighbors?

When I was a kid, I do recall my parents telling us to keep it down cause we might be disturbing the neighbors and they might get mad.

These new people don't seem to care about disturbing us at all.

From sitting here at the computer in my kitchen/office, I can hear...Music blarring, doors slamming, pounding, yelling and even running in the house...till nearly midnight!

My hubby is usually asleep by at least 9pm. One of these days he's going to get woken up by them and grumpy bear is going to get angry!

Along with the honking at LEAST twice a day, I think I am going to be the one to crazy and lose it, way before he does!

The only thing they can hear from my house, is my dogs barking at all the noise they are making!
