Cause I’m Killing Time
Not much to report. Still no new hot water heater. I did get another quote on the roof. I guess I’ve decided to just go ahead and re-roof the whole house. I may as well. I’m afraid if I don’t I’ll be kicking myself next year when it starts leaking in the front of the house. So hopefully they can get started on that next week if it warms up a bit.
Speaking of cold, shitty weather. I went to Kerri’s at 6 last night, as I always do on Sunday nights for dinner and to watch some tv. So I left and it was just flurrying a little bit. When I left Kerri’s 6 hours later, it was completely dry at her place. When I drove south it was like a damn blizzard. I don’t usually get scared easily when driving in this crappy weather, but I was kinda freaking out. It was really bad, and of course, there were no snowplows anywhere to be found. I’m glad I made it home in one piece. So many people were spun out or just stuck and couldn’t get out.
Anyhoo, that’s about it. I had a nice boring weekend of laundry and another trip to Home Depot. Oh, and I bought a fireplace for the living room. I heard they’re good for putting out heat and keeping the gas bill down. I sure hope so. Plus its really cute and now I have somewhere to hang the stockings next Christmas.
Mojo’s doing well. He looks sad sometimes. I don’t know if its just his face or if its me. I always feel like he should have a playmate. He had lots of other dogs at the foster home he was in. Maybe I’ll get another one someday, but that’s a lot of work. He keeps me busy enough.

Weekend Fun
So I decided to leave my headache of a house behind this weekend and take a Valentine’s Day trip to Toledo to see Wy. I took Mojo with me. He LOVES riding in the car. I’m not sure why. He stays awake for like 10 minutes, then he falls right asleep. He was really good at my mom’s and they seemed to like him, he’s an easy dog to like, he’s so good.
Wy and I spent Valentine’s Day making dinner at home and watching some movies, it was relaxing. We went to the mall then to the grocery store to get stuff to make dinner, and we were sitting at a light, and a bird dive-bombed the car and bounced off the windshield. It was pretty funny, but I guess you had to be there! Also, I opened the shades to the patio door cause I was gonna take Mojo out and he ran right into the glass. That was pretty funny too, but only because he was ok!
Here are some pics of Mooey (Mojo) from the weekend. He was chewing his Nylabone in two of them, he doesn’t always look so weird.
Thank Goodness That’s Over!
Wow. Its been a quite a week.
To start with I got really sick on Wed. of last week. That made moving absolute hell. Thankfully I have awesome friends who all showed up and got everything done. It was freezing cold and it seemed to take forever but it all got done. Thankfully my mom ended up coming out with Wylie. She spent the whole day cleaning the old apartment after we packed the truck. I’m glad she did cause we were beat and there’s no way I would have gotten it all done afterwards. She also unpacked and cleaned and organized the whole kitchen at the new house. I wasn’t much use on Sunday. I mostly laid on the couch and moved some furniture around, but I was feeling really crappy.
Mojo came on Monday. He’s been such a good dog so far. I stayed home trying to get over this infection on Tuesday, so today is the first day he’s been alone all day, but I’m not worried.
On Sunday I woke up to a miniature waterfall in the master bedroom downstairs. Seems that little roof leak that I was aware of was a little larger than I had hoped. Its also leaking in the walls. I called the roofer that I had the quote from and they proceeded to tell me that there’s not a lot I can do until Spring comes. Guess its just common in those houses. Unfortunately, that little problem is going to cost me money (the roof is paid for, there’s money in escrow), but I need to re-drywall, new insulation, and a new ceiling now. Oh how I need a handyman!
The water heater is banging like there are shoes in the dryer. I called the home warranty people. Its not covered. Just kill me now. Its sediment build up. Evidently a common problem. So it needs to be flushed. Now…I just have to figure out how to do that.
I need to make some plumber friends asap. Maybe some frywalling friends too. And an electrician wouldn’t hurt.
I don’t want a house anymore. I’m broke.
Wow Its Freakin’ Cold
I tried to start my car this morning. On the 5th try it started. It made a horrible sound. I think it was saying “bitch, please!”. I looked at the temp and it was -10. Poor car. I promise I’ll have a garage for you soon!
I really wish I could go see my dog this weekend. I just don’t know what to do with him for 3 hours. I can only spend so much time with him at Petland. And I can’t bring him back to the apartment. And its waaaaay too cold to be taking him to the park. I guess I’m just going to have to wait to see him till I move 😦
More packing this weekend. Mom comes out next weekend to help me finish up. I just found out my neighbor is moving out the same weekend I am. He lost his job so he’s moving back to Columbus. Things suck. I hope they get better soon. I don’t know what I’d do if I lost my job and had a new mortgage to worry about.
Packing and More Packing
Well its been quite a busy weekend. Friday night I spent a lot of time driving. I went to see my new dog at his foster dad’s. It usually doesn’t take so long to get there, but we got a ton of snow and I ended up driving for about an hour and a half to see him, then an hour and a half home. But, it was totally worth it. I definitely want him. He’s an American Bulldog. He’s 4, housebroken and trained (yeah!), and he’s so sweet. I just fell in love with him. His name is Mojo. So, I put a deposit on him and he should be mine after the move! Here’s a couple pics of my handsome new boy!
Saturday night Kerri and I went to see Rent. It was so good! I definitely recommend you see it if you get the chance…I will definitely be going again!
And today, Sunday, I’ve spent my day packing. I feel like I’ve been packing forever, but for some reason it doesn’t look like I did much 😦 I got most of the living room and dining room done. I hate packing. I have a headache from it and now I’m about to take some medicine and watch a movie. Unfortunately, my jerk-off neighbors just got home in time to ruin the peace and quiet.
Sorry no more pretty pictures, but there just isn’t time for knitting right now!
