It feels like Friday so therefore it should be Friday. For those of you ending your work week today - I hate you. Actually I love you but wish I could hate you!
I drove by the old place the other day. The For Rent sign is up. Rent went up $50 a month - they are asking $1400. I thought it was funny they advertise brand new appliances. Really, they aren't brand new. Maybe a year old. But I was so careful using them, they were able to pass them off as brand new because they look it. The one thing that irritates me is that there is brand new carpet. I wanted new carpet. It was the crappiest, ugliest carpet and she said to give it another year and she would replace it. We were there 2 years. So we spent a crazy amount of money having the carpet cleaned for her just so we could get our deposit back and she turned around and removed it. Now that I have moved, I had a dream come true. I always wanted hardwood floors. I have never met a person who didn't like them. In case you have never met a person who didn't like hardwood floors...stop right there! You know me! My name is Julie and I hate hardwood floors. Yep, I said it. Didn't know I was such a carpet girl. They look pretty but I hate taking care of them and I hate walking on them. And I can't lay on the floor with Roxie because it's not all that comfortable. And it's cold. Oh well - I will learn to live with them!
My cousin, Josh, made it home safely from Afghanistan yesterday! Happy for him - and Michelle.
Have a good Thursday everyone! ♥

Ice Cream Prisoner
Summer has arrived. It's darn hot around here. I don't like it!
Had a super busy weekend. Every since we moved my social life has expanded 10 fold or so it seems. Friday night was pizza night. Actually almost every Friday is pizza night here. We make homemade pizzas and they are always so yummy. Had some girlfriends over until about 11:00. Very fun. Saturday night was my friend Jan's birthday bash. It was part of a block party in her neighborhood. Very fun and delicious catered Mexican food - pollo and carne asada tacos, rice, beans, chips, salsa...aka here in California as a "Taco Cart". Saw my friend Hilda who I had not seen in about 7 years when we were both in Vegas for a wedding.
Today...Father's Day...I acted like I was a Father. I was lazy. I did finally get moving about 2:00. Went to Kohl's and Macy's. Then at 4:20 (I know, that is a weird time) we met mom and dad at Phil's BBQ for dinner. Delicious. Went to Baskin Robbins where the computer/cash register went down. I felt literally held as a prisoner in an ice cream store. It wouldn't have been so bad if I had been offered free ice cream but the owners of this particular store are NOT customer friendly. So we waited for what seemed like forever in order to pay. My ice cream was gone before I ever left the store. That's how long I was in the 31 Flavors Prison.
Back to work tomorrow. No group meeting for the next 2 Mondays. Kind of nice to have a break. The Civic is going to the car wash after work. It's beyond disgusting. It looks like the ultimate dumping ground for many, many birds.
Haven't forgotten that I need to post pics. I'm getting there! ♥

Want Cat?
Free to good, bad, or indifferent home: One almost 2 year old feline. Female, spayed, up to date on shots, does not shed, likes dogs.
Seriously - that damn cat of mine has just about done me in today. She is running around this house as if she is possessed. She is climbing the screens, flying through the air, and sprinting across the floors. She got out on me and that was a fiasco. She never listens to me. She just blows me off. I was chasing her around in the yard in the dark. Never mind there are coyotes and owls who could snatch her in a quick second. She ran from me and hid under my car. I dropped my phone in the mud. She is being so very naughty. I even tried giving her a little smack on the butt. She looked at me as if I were nuts. She didn't care. Then she walks by Roxie and smacks her in the face. Poor Rox - I really owe her an apology for bringing home this whack-a-doodle.
This was a really, really long day. I had a terrible stomach ache and thought the day would never end. 3 more days to go.
I will start posting pics on here this week. I have been taking pictures of my surroundings here at the house. I'm loving it.
The girls saw their first horse the other day. They were beside themselves. Rox barked and barked and Zoe growled. It was the funniest thing. They love to sit on the balcony and play neighborhood watch! Not used to living in a neighborhood where people ride their horses in front of the house! It's just awesome. I don't even know how to put it into words.
Ants...going to be the death of me. I swear. I'm going crazy - they are EVERYWHERE! ♥

Butter!
Good morning Blog Followers...
So I just spilled a huge container of bird seed all over the floor. Pleasant way to start the day. I will clean it up when I get home from work tonight. It's not like the cat will eat it. After all, if she wanted to eat something it would be Blueberry and so far - so good. They have lived here together almost 2 years now without a problem. In fact, they are pretty good friends.
I don't have outdoor garbage containers. They brought me new ones the other day when I got an account. THEN they processed the cancel notice for the previous account and thus, took away the containers! Not a big deal but it's always something!
NO JOKE - as I sit here, EDCO just pulled up and is delivering me new containers! How funny is that?!
I've been having a little bit of trouble with my stomach lately. Nothing settles right so almost anything I eat causes me a stomach ache. I decided yesterday at lunch I would eat a tortilla with a little bit of butter. So I go to a place called Los Jilbertos near my work and ask for a tortilla. Tortillas from Mexican restaurants are pretty huge and they come all wrapped up, nice and hot. I asked the girl for butter. She looked at me strangely. I again repeated myself. After about 5 times I realized I was not getting butter because she could not understand what I wanted! My own country and I can't order a pat of butter?! Obviously I am the one who needs to get a clue. I think I had better learn some spanish if I plan to remain a resident of America.
Have to run to work...hope you all have a great day! ♥
P.S. Mantequilla...Butter!
