what to say<p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">... <span style="color:#990000;">is often a mystery to me.</span> i often get so wrapped up in what's happening in my life, whether personal things, work or whatever, that i forget to reach out to you all to say hello! i know, i've been bad. here... slap mah' hand. soooo, what's been happening in my world? here's some details about one of the most annoying things i'm dealing with. it keeps me up at night... it really does.</span> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><strong>my downstairs neighbors are a**holes.</strong> they've complained more than once about my dog who, while she's not a barker, apparently <strong>walks</strong>. this walking and subsequent walking sound has drastically effected the beforementioned a**hole's sleeping schedule and overall quality of life. i've now become paranoid in my own rental home. i actually find myself tip-toeing around the damned place. i even snapped at my sweet baboo, maddie, for running down the hall with a toy in her mouth. <span style="color:#990000;">omgi'mahorribleperson</span>. did i mention that she ran down the hallway 'cuz she was happy i was home and then got yelled at for being that happy doggers? i'm scum. oh, and the once-again beforementioned a**holes have a little demon of a new baby that screams and cries into all hours of the AM. <strong>this</strong> very frustrated and annoyed at apartment living person hasn't filed a complaint about the demon-child once...</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><strong><p></p><p>due to the issues mentioned above</strong>, i'm beginning to look into property. i'm considering purchasing a house that once again, is near my office and would offer amendities such as: no a**holes bitchin' about walking dogs, no apartment managers telling me what a horrible dog i own due to her unacceptable walking behaviour, and actual garbage and recycle cans of my own picked up weekly (or whatever) so i don't have to lug plastic bags down into my car and then 4 blocks away to the "community drop off" bin that reeks of puke, other foul things and unmentionables.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><strong><p></p><p>breaking a lease is a bitch.</strong> fees, occasionally credit dings, and more truly do effect the "fun involved" in telling all these apartment-based dwellers where they can stick it. they actually and truly do stick it to you in the long run. sooooooo, this has caused me simply to do some intelligent long-range thinking (different from free-range, 'cuz that's chicken) about how long it would take me to raise/save the 10+% needed to invest in a new home. between bonuses, eating crackers and my base wage, i could possibly do it within 6months or so.... so it's not entirely out of the realm of possibilites.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><strong><em><span style="color:#993399;"><p></p><p>thoughts anyone?</span> comments on what a babbling psychopath i am? advice? <span style="color:#3333ff;">fanz of free-range chickens?</span> <span style="color:#009900;">do

was so completely and absolutely horrible for us both. mainly because Chase proved to be so...well.. almost human with his affection. he LIVED for hugs, would hug back, snuggled (totally spooned) J's head when she slept, took over your lap when he could, adored us, and ONLY wanted to be pet/snoogled/loved 24/7. losing him was like losing a limb. so now, J has "our 2" remaining cats, Cleo and Chewie... and i have Maddie.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><a

first cat, Dewey. she earned that name when she first looked at me with those big eyes that said, "love me." <strong>omgoodness</strong> she was <em>jes' as loveable</em> in return!!! she was a russian blue, had a painfully high squeak of a mew and loved to partake in drive-by rubs, tail all-a-whippin', and had a permanent love affair with sunbeams. she would kneed on me anytime she could too... of course, only when sunbeams weren't aplenty.... Dewey fell sick years back, and an unbeknownst asthma attack that caused upper-respitory failure took her from our arms within 24 hours. we were stunned and shocked into submission.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;">why do we all do this? succumb to teeny animals, care for them, love them and yet are forced to hope they survive for-ev-ah while they just.. don't!? i gotta tell ya, i'm reduced to almost-tears when thinking about someday losing my dog. i'm not sure what i'd do! she's occupied such a huge place in my heart for 6 years now.... how would i fill that gap!?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;"><strong><span style="color:#3333ff;">i know how</span></strong>... there'd likely be a puppy out there for me... a new friend... a new loyal companion, and damnit,<strong><em><span style="color:#cc33cc;"> i'd do it all again.</span></em></strong></span>bronxbthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00064918223549408940noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12210367.post-81066590585016279562007-08-24T11:41:00.001-07:002007-08-24T11:43:25.061-07:00... how to end a week right<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">... wif' a leetle bit of hammie-tunes.
