I know, I know......how often do I even write TWO blogs on the same day. I don't think I have EVER written three blogs in one day. Oh well. Once in a blue moon, perhaps? So today was different. Chewlee was in a good mood. It seems regardless of her behavior all week, because she kept her cards almost always in the Green column, she got to select a prize from the Treasure Chest today. Go figure!
She was hungry when she got here. The first thing she really wanted was a Cup O Soup but we were out of them. So she settled for hot dogs....four of them. Plus she got six...count them...six pickles because they were small. She made a joke and said she was going to turn into a cucumber and then I was going to turn her into a pickle! LOL!
We ate some salsa and chips (it was HOT salsa) so she ran and got some water. She told me that drinking water was healthy then wanted to know what else was healthy. I said the normal things you would say and she added *breathing*. I told her, yes, breathing was definitely on the list for things that you need to BE healthy. She can be weird at times.
We didn't get to read her story today so I told her to pack that in with her sleepover stuff and we would read it tomorrow. She had plans on reading it on her way home (for the first read) but I know her mother wouldn't have turned on the light for her to do that since they live less than five minutes from us.
The garage door is just wonderful. I told you this one is both stronger and insulated. The Beast likes it because the windows on it are on the upper section so someone can't look in and see him if he's working in the garage. I laughed and said, *It's not like you run around here naked or even in your underwear so what would they be looking at? What would you be concerned about someone seeing?*
The door fits great and it's so quiet opening and closing compared to the old one. The Beast made a joke about our getting it *the hard way*. I just smiled because I know that he hated the old door and would have eventually replaced it. But I am a bit ashamed that it was ME that caused us to HAVE to get it. It's so embarrassing.
My son, Mustachio, almost begged off from coming down to visit because he has this friend that gets panic attacks. He wants to be there for her if it happens. I told him that was no excuse. His phone would work here, too. Plus, it's not like it would cost him a lot of money to drive down here then up to his brother's house and home again. A tank and a half of gas perhaps? And gas has gone down quite a bit now. It's only running around $3. a gallon (and you can find it for less in some areas). Plus, he will be fed and housed for free so what's the problem. He said I was evil but he loved me for that. I just brought up the obvious. I told him family visits should never be cancelled for no good reason. So he said he was going to think it over but I am pretty sure he will make the trip down. Besides, as I told him, Chewlee was excited about seeing him again.
Love you all. Have a fantastic weekend even if the weather sucks. Just dress properly for it. **Wink**
