Help! They are ganging up!


There is a conspiracy going on in my house with anything electronic & they are all ganging up on me..  It started with our spare refrigerator that we have in the garage(which is a whole other story for another "popster" post) & this past week has spread like wildfire.  

One of the most "tragic" episodes was when my sewing machine became possessed & started sewing at will instead of stopping & starting when I wanted it to.  I had to take in in for repair & was told it could be two weeks before I get it back.

I cried all the way home!

We were stuck in last night because of Nemo(whole other story of "scare tactics" from the weatherman.....they probably were in co-hoots  with all the appliances in my house) so I decided to watch something from prime time on demand.  Just as the show was ending the remote control DEMANDED that I put new batteries in it!

Who ever heard of such a thing!

It refused to do anything until I complied!

After obeying it's orders I tried to pull up the next episode of what I was watching & it wouldn't allow it!  I could only assume it was because I hadn't exited from the on I watching when the remote rebelled..  Trying everything I could think of, including standing on my head, did not work so I pulled all the plugs.

I taught cable tv a lesson!

Then there's the phone....we recently switched to our cell phone company's home service for our home phone.  It was working fine until this past week when it decided to randomly screen our calls for us.  Apparently it decides for itself to send some call directly to voice mail.  There's no rhyme nor reason to which calls it chooses to do this to so I just have assume it's part of the same conspiracy!

BTW in case you are wondering why this post is spaced strangely....it's because blogger is part of the aforementioned  "gang"

  1. Good thing that Molly doesn't have one of those ghastly electric collars to keep her in the garden! I can only imagine what might be happening.

    Good luck with all this bad ju juj.

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...

C of O ....Sun Room...Day Twenty Three-Twenty Five

This came in the mail today which made me realize I never posted the last couple days updates.  They really all rolled into one as Jim ended up leaving at noon on Weds...it started to snow & didn't work at all on Thurs.  Friday he finished things up by lunch time but had to spend the afternoon emptying my garage of all his tools.  We had our inspection on Monday which wasn't a problem.  It has been so sunny this week so far so it is so nice to sit in there & enjoy the view!  Yes Molly hangs out in her a lot.....I have nose prints to prove she looks out of all the windows!
