Fancy-Shmancy

I took my braids down for a job interview that I had yesturday, so I look (somewhat) normal now!





The interview was at at Leon Max Studios in Pasadena.... HOPEFULLY, I'll get the job.

It starts out at about $12 an hour.

I have another interview Thursday morning at Pictage Inc. in Torrance. (Really close to home, too! How 'bout them apples...)

I get to play dress up and act normal again. w00t!

Whassup, homes?




Here are the two homes that Steve and I will be making an offer to purchase on. Since we are equally happy with both, we'll settle on whichever one counter-offers the best. The first one is beautiful inside, but has NO GRASS! If we buy, they will put some down for us though. The second has a big beautiful fenced in back yard for the doggies, and a TRAMPOLINE! I love it, but would want to put some work into the interior to make it more open. Here's to hoping one of our offers goes through!

Smart Dog, Lucky Owner

Pam Davis, one of our Southeastern Greyhound Adoption and Greyhound Club members down in Florida and the main person responsible for getting us dogs to be adopted out, posted this to our group message board yesterday:

"A couple of years ago, Greyhound Crossroads asked us for a BIG male and he didn't have to be cat tolerant. We sent them a dog named "Get Noticed". His adopter, Nancy McPhee, named him Stryker.

Today, I got this message from Joanne:

One of your dog's saved someone's life. Nancy McPhee adopted Get Noticed now Stryker from us. He was a special order that you picked out for her from her description of what she wanted. The other night he woke her up about midnight and whined and poked her with his nose. She though he needed to go out even though he had just been out an hour and a half before. She got up and took him out. He didn't need to go and kept whining and bothering her and wouldn't let her go back to sleep. He never does that. Finally she realized her heart was beating VERY fast and strangely- she has had heart problems before. Her husband raced her to the emergency room. They had to stop her heart and restart it and I think shocked her heart at least once. Sounded like she barely got there in time. Stryker definitely saved her life by not letting her go back to sleep:)

How cool is that???"
Indeed - how cool IS that? Sometimes our dogs are smarter than us.

It's starting to suck here

I mean it's starting to suck not just because our place is small - but these apartments are filling up with riff-raff fast. The creepy old man stares at everyone and follows the women around trying to corner them still lives upstairs. Our newest neighbors get drunk every evening and get into LOUD drawn out fights in the middle of the night about once a week. It is funny to see them freak out every time a cop drives by though. Early (like around 3am)Wednesday morning some stranger banged on our door asking for Billy. Heck if we know who Billy is. Gary chased him off, and a little while later caught him peeking in our window. He started to run out after him, but remembered he was in his underwear and it was too dark to see if anyone else was hanging around the corner. It's just as well He didn't 'cause even if the guy deserved to get the stuffing beat out of him, the way things go nowadays Gary would probably be the one to be arrested assault charges. Too bad the cops didn't find him. I'll be glad to get out of here, but man I feel sorry for the few decent people that are still here. And in spite of how much the place sucks the slumlords have the nerve schedule the second inspection this year. Maintenance issues my ***. They never fix anything and during the last one they didn't find the leak or the mold in our washer hook up. I found it two days later. I like the title of one guys posting on an apartment rating website "Lodge North - Keep Looking North". Yep, that about sums it up.

As requested a picture with Mandy in it. It was supposed to be a goofy picture but it looks like Lisa is the only goofy one. The serious picture Lisa didn't look happy,this one is much better.

Chattanooga

This is from our Chattanooga trip, our group was extremely late. We still had alot of fun and don't we look good.

Caitlin's first job...


Caitlin going to work on her first day.

Womanless Beauty Contest



This is the Womanless Beauty Contest at Relay for Life. In case you couldn't tell in the second picture the blond is a man.

Relay for Life



Relay for Life was an 24 hour event for cancer. Caitlin, her friend and I did last month. The first picture is Caitlin getting a medal for being a cancer survivor. The second is Caitlin and her friend Chasitie manning the fishing game at our booth. They got a little too realistic when they started squirting from behind the sign with water guns.

Charles & Caitlin fishing


Caitlin actually caught one but was afraid to get near it....Charles saved the day!

I See Vet Bills In My Future

This is Oreo. I've been in denial. I've been saying this is not, not, NOT my cat. It didn't work. Even Gary the cat hater likes this little guy. He is spoiled rotten and gets fed by three other families around here including the kids, and he keeps trying to drink my coffee. The chocolate milk incident was not pretty by the way, but If I was around when Lea Anna gave him that I could have predicted THAT outcome. On the brighter side, there were no side effects from the pastrami that Daniel snuck him. Oreo just took over our back porch and has been hanging with us for the past three months. I guess the food is better at our house or something.

Fire Works


They are less than a week late, I'm getting better! These were taken at Moss Wright Park in Goodlettsville, TN. Considering I only had a point and shoot 35 mm I'm suprised they even came out at all. Now if I only had say, a Minolta (or a Cannon I'm not picky) , tripod, and a roll of tungsten film even I could work wonders. Gary, start saving - Christmas is around the corner ;)

TIME OUT

This blog is not an appropriate place to air your personal grievances or tell people off. If you've got a gripe with one or more people who happen to be members of this blog then take it up individually - and maturely - with that person or those persons.

The spirit of blogging discourages censorship and up to now I've maintained that spirit here. No more. This post may be in immediate reaction to David's post, however his is only the most recent post or comment I have a problem with. Don't even start pointing fingers, because I've taken exception to posts/comments from more than a couple of our members. Just heed what I am telling you:
  1. Don't flame anyone here.
  2. Don't use language or themes that would bring a rating of R or worse if it were in a movie.
  3. Don't post things that are not of some interest to most blog members. We care about you. We want to know what's going on in your life. We'd rather not see you embarrass your family members or yourself by posting your interpersonal dramas to the blog. If you can't deal with it effectively by doing it directly then keep it to yourself.
We've had a pretty cool thing going here for the most part and I'd like to keep it that way. I don't care how we're related or whether I'll hurt your feelings - if I feel your post is inappropriate it will be removed.
