  • tomarrow is SPIDEY'S birthday, go tell her happy day! spidey, you want to post pics of your b-day presents? lol, i dunno when we will see you, the traffic seems to be a bitch fri-sun... during this season.


    ok, so after i had told the neighbor not to park inbetween the houses, that weekend, last weekend, he has company over, they pull across our yard (across water meter) to park on grass.


    last night, while we were outside, the new neighbor popped his head over and apologized for any inconvienience he may have caused. he also asked "where he could park, in front of the house?"


    i answered, "yes, ON THE STREET, in front of our house is fine." i also suggested they have thier friends park where our friends have to park....a few houses down at the lawyers office. haven't gotten around to telling him he'll have to pull on the sidewalk if we get flooded this may. oh, and they have a cute, big dog that they love, his name is george, he looks like a trimmed huge poodle.


    so me and sean feel at ease about not rushing into putting up a border between the yards. i still want a hedgerow. this weekend would still be good, to do that. mardi gras is coming up...the more drunk people get, the more likely they are to park on the yard.


    ...ugh....the more likely they are to run over the hedgerow or fall on it.


    i said the other neighbors' dog is gone, yes? yeah, they must have finally given him to a better home, or something.


    termites. keep forgetting to pick up some kind of termite spray. when cleaning out the garage, noticed termites had gotten into all our scrap wood and part of the garage frame need to take care of it asap. need to do roof tiling on back porch...i want it all done this weekend and what else...


    picked up some cheesey dogs and smoked sausage to grill up for mardi gras if we still end up having a microparty for it. we had sausage for dinner last night, with broc. and caul. yes, it was as tasty as it could have been. and donuts...i picked up donuts. i've half of them already...more than half...oops, i guess the rest are for sean.


    finally painted the trim in back room.


    picked up tickets for the 18th annual oilfield chili cookoff. it's gunna be at the boomtown casino in harvey again this year (march 15). it's cool, we get to try all kinds of chili, occasionally get prizes (handouts-cups, golf tees, etc) from the booths, AND the $$$ goes to local charities and reliefs, and navy and marine corp. last year there was 200 or 300 chilis? and i tried them all. if there will be more booths, more different chili...i have no idea how i'll be able to try them all. but you know i will do my BEST. ever watch fear factor...when they eat spleens and spines and end up with gooey stuff all over thier face...that'll be me. it'll probably ooze out my ears and nose. and then we'll go out for dessert......bleah


    maybe we skip dessert this year.

  • But desert is the best part for people, like me, who don't like all of the chili.

  • oh, well, that's true. i thought you just didn't like chili with beans in it?  oh, btw, i am guessing you'll see jackie and troy at the baby birthday..... we'll have to all be here at the house and ready to go for like 10:30 am on the day of the chili fest.

  • Instead of a hedgerow, I think you should put in a row of hedgehogs! No matter how drunk people get, they won't fall on 'em. Or drive over 'em, because they are just too damn cute.

    Good luck on Chili day. I'm envious.

  • I'm kinda glad dude stuck his head over the fence and talked to us. Now we can yell directly at him without that awkward "breaking the ice" phase.

  • hedge hog. har har har. i think you are mistaken, this neighborhood?...you'd be looking at a lot of dead hedgehogs. they's be like "whut is that? VROOOOM (car or mower running it over)"
