happiness. yay! stress. anxiety. inspections. loan papers. appraisals. sewer video.

i am just trying to hang in there. and yes, that picture in the last post...that's our new backyard!

okay, to talk about something else for a minute...

in today's news:

STUPID article. "Sisterly love"? gag! fashionable and acceptable? bleck.

RIP horses and ponies. UG, the pharmacy is to blame. That's so sad.

Sign us up! Anyone want to shoot a movie in a cottage??

This is cool!

The Huckaby story gets scarier and scarier.

Fun! Make your own 12 Galaxies sign!

and last but not least, be sure to check out this video. It will make you feel very glad that you are you.

ttfn.

houses and murders and stuff

i hate this.

you see a new house listing. goes something like this:

Remarks: BANK OWNED! 2 Beds 2 Bath w/ 1800+ sq.ft. living space (public record shows 2 beds 1.5 bath w/1147 sq. ft. permit unknown). This home has been completely rebuilt. Recessed lightning, Updated baths, Updated kitchen, Updated everything!!! With high ceilings, Arched entryways and spacious floorplan.

sounds great huh?!

you Google Street View it.
Looks okay!





price is right: $229,000.



but then you go to www.oaklandnet.com and do a crime search.
and you see this:


click to see larger. in the last 3 months, there were 3 car thefts right on the corner. ah, no thanks, i like my car. assaults, drugs, all kinds of fun things.

I came across this house today on a listing. i thought it was a typo before i looked at the picture. $49,000. yep. you heard right.



i don't even want to do a crime search on that one. But, the couch cushions out front really are nice, aren't they?


in other news:

Do I really want to take public transportation? Maybe not.

Dad is now asking for help because God implanted a load of babies into his daughter's belly. Oh, you mean God didn't do that? Hmm. And speaking of God...come on people. PLEASE.STOP.BREEDING. The crazy right wingnut population is already out of control. please. stop.

The chimp that attacked the woman (poor chimp, poor woman)..his owner..seems a little nuts, no? Oh, and the 911 operator who took the call, fire his ass. I think he actually laughs at her.

They better figure this shit out, pronto. I'm not kidding.

We have to watch this! HGTV Dream Home Giveaway 2009 airs: Sunday, Mar. 15 at 8/7c.
Because maybe we won!!! Hey, it could happen, we entered every day! But, I guess if we win, we won't be watching it on TV, we'll be there in the house.

This is minty fresh, and is making me ..sleep..y...zzz

and last but not least...someone's gonna fall off the couch!

bye!

back from the flu bed

(see monster link for artist info)

finally. that was a killer flu. eegads. anyway, moving on.

We made another offer on a home. A green craftsman. Really, really nice on a cute street. Our chances on winning the bid? Um, probably 76 to 1. Wish us luck.

things I'm seeing today:

Cool monstery kind of creatures!

Another missing girl. A trailer. A teenage babysitter/girlfriend. AND 44 registered sexual offenders who live within a five-mile radius?? WHAT?

I hope Gavin squashes this beotch.

I love dolphins (almost as much as I love sharks). Here's a story of dolphin friends that warms the heart. Get better soon, little guy!

I think it's funny that this story has been on sfgate's homepage for 2 days. So, of course I had to go watch video from the Wife Swap episode. It's true, the dude's a douche.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE is no joke.

I want to be rich, but not this badly.

Look at these photos! Little pittie pumpkin faces!

Gotta run. we have a 1:00 meeting today. WHO SCHEDULES A 1:00 MEETING?

Stains, Monster Trucks, and Mildewy Butter

this blog is for Jane, the only person who ever asks me when I'm posting my next blog!

so, here we go...

This is really cool. Were you at the Inaugural? Are you sure? Look for yourself here! I hope you weren't picking your nose. Boy, that photo machine sure is powerful.

Want to make a statement about Bart Police? This tee could do it.

This is very, very sad. I never knew Paco the pit, but had seen pictures of him, as he was the Paco behind Paco Collars. RIP little dude. And, to his parents...our hearts break with yours.

Peanut Butter mildew. Just writing that makes me a little pukey. Maybe I will throw away that peanut butter i have at work that I bought at the janky-ass Foods Co. across from my work. I actually bought a jar of Goober...what was I thinking?!!!

This story is just too bizarre (watch the whole video). What are the odds? And, no more Monster Truck Rallys for me, I tell you! (that won't be too much of a sacrifice).

Any dog named Stains is automatically awesome. A dog named Stains who stares at cupcakes...Hot Slut of the Week.



Disneyland is not always the happiest place on earth. (my managers, take note. Disney training can only get you so far.)

And, last but not least. The house hunting is back on. Slow and steady wins the race. We're just starting to look. Check THIS out. Cute, huh? I think we're going to go check it out.



until later. peaceoutbye.

"pitbull palin" and other bad news

The headlines today were about as lame as the day itself. Don't get me started, because I didn't like today and had a hard time mustering the CARE gene at work.
This is what I saw today:







is it any wonder I feel depressed? And to top it off, one of my favorite shelter dogs is back behind bars (let's hope she is taken away from her insane, cruel owner for good), they were out of coffee at my work cafe at 3:30, I had to talk about copy at 4:55 pm, Intervention is a repeat tonight and Puddin' has really bad gas.

sigh.

Here's to drinking beer at 7:00 in pajamas and saying goodnight to the bad day. Goodnight!
