In my opinion at least. Here's the story: Jim and I have a tree that needs taking down in the backyard. A while ago, Jim called our guy Ray to see what the cost would be to take the tree down, haul away the brush, cut the trunk into splitable pieces and leave for us to split. Well, he never got back to Jim and we were ready to try another company. Then yesterday Jim tried one last time to call Ray...nothing. This morning, they guy who he hires out to get the work done called Jim and said, "Hey, we're ready to take the trees down." Jim said, "Uh...we haven't gotten an estimate yet." The guy answered with, "You always like our prices!" Yeah, that doesn't work for me because he'll come here, look at the tree, give me some huge price that I'm not willing to spend and then want to take it down right there and then and try to bully me into whatever. First of all...I'm not having guys running around in my backyard today. Second...I need an estimate! This tree is HUGE and near the house and scary! I need to prepare. Ugh...I have this feeling he's just going to show up. If he does we're going to have a problem. And he better not just walk into my backyard without permission...they've done that before too. Arg!
I made a delicious dinner last night if I do say so myself: Shrimp and turkey kielbasa kabobs. With a little red bell pepper and Cajun seasonings...yummy! Tonight I think I'll do a one-pot pepper chicken with a salad.
Other plans for today: Finishing up some laundry, reading and some sunbathing. I already did the elliptical so that's done. Watched some Big Little Lies (I was three behind! How did that happen?!)
And that's all I've got. Ive got a cardinal out on my deck who keeps messing around in my hibiscus trees. Not that I mind...they're fun to watch. Good thing the boys can't see them...they'd want to have bird for breakfast.
Oh, so Boo's a bad boy! Yesterday I was getting ready to head out to run a bunch of errands and I had just written the check for the mortgage, addressed the envelope, stamped it and put it on the kitchen table with my wallet to put in the mailbox when I drove out. First, however, I ran across the way to let Jane the Great Dane out for my neighbors. When I came back I found the envelope gone and upon further investigating, I found it in tiny little pieces all over my living room. He is a turkey! When I came in and said to him, "What did you do!?" He took off running to the backyard. I had to laugh. So then I had to rewrite the check but didn't have the payment slip so I had to write a note saying my dog ate my last one! And the funnier thing about this is this is the 2nd time I've had to do this.
And that's all I've got. Best mosey. Happy Tuesday! Later!
