Jim's New Name

Some people call him Amy. Some people call hi Dim. Usually I call him Jimmy but after seeing the state of my cupboards when Jim unloaded the dishwasher yesterday, his new name is Ed...as in Special Ed! Here's the thing: Jim bitches about the Tupperware cabinet, which is ridiculous because it's never messy. I have everything stacked properly and neatly (everything has a place and is in it's place). That is until Jim empties the dishwasher and just throws shit in there willy nilly. I looked in there last night and found it a disaster. So annoying. So Ed! We had to have a little lesson in how to put things away. It was fun...for me...not so much for Jim Ed. Maybe he won't do it again!

Jim did do one good thing yesterday. He fixed the bed. For some reason, there's a child lock on my adjustable bed which they don't tell you about and it's not in the manual. I went to adjust my bed the other night and it didn't work. And I was PISSED! I mean with the amount of money I spent on that thing!? I was seeing red! And then I thought the dogs had done it because they like to go under the bed and play so they got a stern talking to but alas, it was just some stupid thing that happened with the remote. Jim called customer service and found all this out. My question is, if this is something they have with their remotes, why don't they put the fix in the manual troubleshooting section (I typed "troubleshitting" at first)? It's annoying.

Oh, and here's something else annoying: I went all year without getting sick and guess what happened to me yesterday? Yup...got a cold. I don't know who the guilty party is that gave me this cold but I want to secretly secret my snotty tissues in their pockets as punishment. The weird tickle in my throat made me sleep like shit. I ended up having to take a melatonin because it was irritating me so much and keeping me from sleeping. Hopefully it won't be long lasting...we'll see. At least it's happening now, however, rather than next week when I'm in PIB.

I got to take a nice bike ride yesterday. I just rode around my neighborhood and went about 7 1/2 miles. It was lovely and my but did surprisingly well. I think I'm ready for the trail! Can't wait.

And that's all that's happening here. I'm excited for the weekend and hopefully getting all my plants planted, purchasing my herbs, and getting the rest of my flowers.

Oh, Ed killed a chipmunk. Don't tell him I told you...he's really sad about it. He has these watering cans that he keeps on the front porch and he left them full the other day and I guess one of our little chipmunk friends (not sure if it was Simon, Theodore or Alvin) got curious and drowned. It is sad...I felt bad for poor Ed. He gave him a proper burial. The pups wanted his carcass to play with but I told them that was inappropriate. So they chewed on each other's faces. And then Boo ripped Scout's collar off and I can't find it.

K - best mosey. Happy FRIDAY! YAY!!! Last regular Friday of the year! WOOT! Later!
