Count Down Till He Gets Back - 4 Days


For me that's a BIG YAY!!! WOOO HOO!!!

He Will get this dog back.



Boodles is Playing a Game While Tom is Gone. It's called 'In Search Of" ... She is searching for her daddy.


Me and Princess Poochzilla

Day 1: Took Poochzilla to Doggy Day Care. Found out that she walks a certain route in the daycare parking lot before going in. Was told this fact After I dropped her off.. Great Now she's already pissed at me. I picked her up and took her for Ice Cream and to visit her friends at the store. Everything seemed fine at the moment. I feel that Day 1 Was a success.

Day 1.5 into Day 2: Well, it's 4.30am here, Ive been up since 2.45 when I noticed that someone escaped from the boat looking for her dad. She managed to get off the boat and went running to find him. As tempting as It was I didn't call him to find out where she would usually go with him, I was hoping that someone knew her and caught her, I even considered putting out a missing Doggy report, but then figured 911 would get pissed. I saw her sitting on the steps at the gameroom, but then she took off running again in Search Of Finally she came running down the docks at 4:25 looking at me as to say "what?"...

She is now sleeping like a baby (a baby witch).... So right now it's too late for me to go back to sleep so I will be sleepy all day. Which when I come home will piss her off again cause I will have to take a nap.

So lunch time today -Ace Hardware to find a hook and eye to lock the door to prevent more nightly runs.

Now usually when the kids were gone while I was sleeping they had money that I gave them ... They said that they asked while I was sleeping and I always told them "yes, take my money, take as much as you want"..... So I guess I better check my wallet to see if poochzilla took cash too.

Well Now I have a few hours before I go to work - Zilla is tired and napping... She's up for adoption if anyone is wondering.

Get Ready for On Demand GPS Directions!

Ok He's on the road again. This time to Carlisle Pa So Everyone get ready to grab a shift for the on demand Directions. So far we got the 1-900-ASK- NEAL programmed in the phone for him.

Now to me it looks like a pretty straight shot. But then We all experienced this before how he can get lost....

So here is the Map that we will be working from. To save everyone from Searching when the call comes in "WTF Am I?".... The answers will be right here on this page.


View Larger Map

See it looks pretty easy. I printed it out for him to take with him.

Hopefully this time the POS will sell.... I offered to make him an Ad for the car when it's at the show, But I think I pissed him off when I said Back Tires 37,000 miles on them, Front tires less than 500 miles.. I think that is a good guessamate cause it's been towed to all these shows so much.

Nothing could really beat the time he went to Daytona and the Gas Gauge, AND the speedometer quit on him. We had to manually figure gas mileage and then tell him where to stop and how Often. That was a memorable Thanksgiving day for us. We spent most of the time doing manual Math.

So he Leaves in the morning, I have my ID ready to pick up Princess Poochzilla from day care, they sometimes ID me to get her. She thinks she's going on a car ride tomorrow with him cause she knows when the vehicle gets loaded someone is going on vacation. Little does Princess Poochzilla know, she's stuck with me the next few days. well I'm stuck with her.


She will be sad.. But she will adjust. He will only be gone a few days. I have to take her clear across town to Doggy DayCare, then get to work by 8am. To go shopping saturday, I will have to get a baby sitter... Sheesh.... I just realize how much I will miss tom...


Ok. He's already asleep, getting ready for his long drive tomorrow...

Those on call for on demand directions... Get Ready.. Blast Off in 8 hours!

Wow Talk about Being Slack!


Ok Sorry for the long break in between these posts. We're still alive. Neither one has been upgraded (or downgraded) to shark bait yet. Even Princess Poochie is still around...

Tom is still working (that's a real Shocker isn't it??) We still own POS.... His El Camino.. (BTW POS stands for Piece of Shit.) We are having major problems selling this car with the economy. But he's off next week to Carlisle to try to sell it there. I will be glad when it's gone. He will too. He doesn't even drive it much. I'm not worried about him selling it, I'm worried about what he will buy once he sells it.

About 2 weeks ago we went to Charlotte for the car show. We didn't sell the car there either. We stayed at Shell's. I went to the Dr's while I was there.

They said I have I have Acid Reflux really bad. They found out by shoving a tube down my throat to take pictures. That was a wonderful experience.

Now reading up on this disease one of the many clues that people seemed to miss on me is...

  1. Burping - belching .... Jeeze people I gave EVERYONE this clue.. Yet no one picked up on it. You just ranked my burps....
  2. Eating Tums or in my case DRINKING GALLONS OF MAALOX ---- oh dear sisters... You missed a huge clue there didn't you???
  3. Hoarseness --- HA!!! Bet you all thoiught that my singing just sucked didn't you.. I have a medical condition that Proves that I can SING.... but just not able at this moment!!

My Vocal cords are swollen and I am suspose to NOT talk till my next appointment in May. Yea right... Luckly for us, we've been married so long that not talking to each other is common! We can go days without chatting and not miss it a bit. In fact If I didn't know better I swear he asked the doctor to tell me this. I think that I actually caught him on his knees giving thanks to the Lord for this blessing as he calls it.

But work is a different story. I didn't tell them I am suspose to stay quiet... I didn't think it was any of their business. So they have me on the switchboard. Ugh..... I can't win.
But with the vocal cords swelled it hurts to talk after awhile, and I sound hoarse. So I not only Look like a horse, I am actually Hoarse.... :).


So the things that I eat are on this list that I found Online... I Love everything on this list. Here is what I found.

"Some of the usual foods that are known to cause heartburn, which leads to acid reflux disease, are: dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt, milk shakes, and ice cream; spicy foods; garlic and onions; high-carb foods like bread, macaroni, and spaghetti; fried foods; chocolate; alcoholic beverages; caffeinated beverages; beef; mashed potatoes; tea; spearmint and peppermint; and tomato-based foods."

Now how sucky is this??? Even though Pizza wasn't on the list... I think it's still on the No-No list... And they have spaghetti on the no-no list.... Now you know I love my sketty.. I can even eat cold sketty sandwiches..........

I can still eat cheese, goat cheese.... now doesn't that just sound yummy??

So I got to figure out something to eat... Cause I have to eat every 3-4 hours. ummm... yeah right.. Oh Stress is another thing that causes this. So my job is top on this list..... See I keep trying to tell Tom that my job makes me sick... he won't buy into that...

Well it really could be worse.. At least this is treatable.. It won't be fun treating it, but I will get through this.... I don't know what I can eat.. cause I can't eat many carbs. ahhh Funtimes!

The dog and Tom just left. He was trying to take a nap. She wants her ice cream and to go to the back room with the men. She loves men. Im stuck with her next week. He's leaving tuesday won't be back till Sunday.. I got to take her to day care, and make it to work on time. This should be fun. We usually walk after work, but since I have to rush to get her, I won't be able to walk.



Updates on kids:

Shell is still unemployed. She's trying to get disability since she has never recovered from her Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever that she had a few years ago. She is still having problems with her joints. She was just diagonised with Fibromaliagra. She finally got rid of her roomate, and now lives alone with her poochies. She should have a room mate moving in soon.

The Wueen is getting bigger while cooking the little prince. She has happily been shopping for nursery items. She looks so cute with her big belly.. She thinks that Tom's belly still is bigger and she may be right. We will be going there soon so we will take photos.

So as you can tell nothing has really changed. Everything is still basically the same. Just different shit on different days.
