A neighbor kid was walking his dog when we came outside. Naturally they frizzed up their fur and kept their distance. Frodo (w/ door cracked open) ran upstairs and the boy yanked on the dog's leash up the stairs to introduce my cats to his dog. I hollered out not to scare my cat, he afraid of dogs, and he came back out. Then the neighbor girls came out with pudding cups and Precious runs to them exspecting attention. The boy took his dog back inside. The girls who usually chase my cats all over to pet them asked me to take away my cat. I take him away and of course he runs back to them when I set him back down. I thought maybe it was because they were eating, but no, they explain their toddler sister is afraid of the cat. Funny, she always was eager to pet them before. The older girls stroke Precious once as he did his rounds confused why nobody fawning over him. I give him attention instead. Well, the boy goes to pet Frodo and chases him down the stairs and around corner. The kids go inside and I can't find Frodo anywhere. I called him for 30 minutes before giving up and went to work. I had to call him for 2 minutes after I got home before he came in the light on the steps. He was hungry and thirsty when he came in and won't go out on to the balcony. He is chasing a fly buzzing around. I don't worry about insects coming in cause they chase anything that moves.
I got my boyfriend's birthday present tonight, along with a shampoo sample. I can't wait to give it to him. Yes, he is forgiven since I'm not one to hold grudges. Perhaps we will see the new Harry Potter next time I see him. I was thinking perhaps the 3rd week of August I could drive to Muscatine and visit him.
Got to talk to a Iowa State Patrol guy about an abandoned car sitting unattended on the Interstate rented in San Diego. I checked for roadside assistance notes for any breakdown or accident. None. San Diego was surprised their car was in Iowa, they rented it yesterday. Yes, a California man knew where Iowa was. I got the license plate number and that's what popped up on the computer. Well manager there said to impound car and they will have someone go pick it up.
Let's see. The guy at the car rental next door who got into a motocycle accident this week has driven their city manager crazy with constant phone calls of him tattling on his coworkers, so nobody is missing him. Apparently he doesn't get his facts straight before tattling either. He even told a coworker she wasn't doing enough returns and when she complained he had his privaledges revoked to look up that stuff. For someone going to college to learn business management, he sure ain't learning his place in the hierarchy, which is the bottom. Well better go. Post later. Bye!

what a weekend
We went to my Mom's family reunion and introduced loverboy to almost everybody. We saw the goats, chickens, cows, and sheep at Mom's cousin's farm. Afterwards, he changed my window screen and made a hole with the scissors he used to get the screen back in the window, and he put it in upside down. I didn't have enough screen left over so I went out to Home Depot and found the same stuff. I got loverboy Wendy's to thank him for doing that. It was late when he finished so I asked if he was leaving or did he wish to stay here. He slept on the balcony in his sleeping bag. I did the cat chores and turned off the lights, and he just remained on the couch through my "Good night". Next day, he is on the couch wearing the clothing he had on yesterday. He did move. He said one of the cats came out on the balcony and startled him.
I didn't have much breakfast food since I didn't know he would be spending the night. I did cat chores and took the cats outisde. He came for most of the walk and asked how much time left. 15 minutes. He went in to take a shower, and changed clothes. I made cheese sandwiches, took out the clean dishes and rinsed off the dirty ones in the sink (Proof that I do clean dishes). he said he knew out to get there from the Interstate so I directed to the Interstate from my place. Had to go on a faraway street because the closer ramp is closed. On the Interstate we miss where to get off because so many cranes and machinery were before the exit with a small orange sign saying Exit. I couldn't recall the last sign. He asks if this is where he gets off while talking about his cat, now if he wasn't talking so much while driving and paid attention we could lower these instances. I don't know where to get off, They're doing construction. Sorry everything I know is pulverized. Well the signs explain we needed to get off and turn around. We make it to an amusement park sign. He asks how to get there. I answer back that he said he knew how to get there. I don't, it has been too long to recall every turn. I said, Lot 5, bridge, Lot 4 remember that so we can find out way back in the parking lot. He asks for a pen to write on paper in his pocket cause he can't recall that all day. I say in my head, 5 fingers bridge 4 to help remember.
He asks what we shall ride first. I say we go to the end of the park and work our way to the front. He says he likes to fly by the seat of his pants and see what happens. Probably explains why nothing is happening between us. On the ski lift ride and brush my knee next to his on purpose, and he moves over. Then while waiting in line on the first roller coaster, I brush my hand and arm against his arm four times, and he pulls away. Ok, I'm ready to break this guy's heart cause I can only conclude he can't handle physical contact. And this joker can't wait to get engaged so we can have sex and says he dreams about holding my hand. Dream on. He plays skee ball to win a dinosaur from Shrek. He asks if I want it. No. He will give it to Honey to play with. He is unsure about the name Honey, it's so wild and crazy. I say, Then name him something else. No, he'll keep Honey. He is excited about all 3 cats living together. He had 3 cats once and they were all over the house. They had to go to the animal shelter cause his new landlord didn't allow pets. His landlord just started allowing cats this year. As we get off the water ride, the park person grabbed my arm cause I was getting up too fast and about to hit my head. I feel someone grabbign my hand and realized it was loverboy helping me off the ride. Finally some contact. Maybe I'll give him one more chance. On one ride I was shifting my weight to make it spin more, and he sat there like a stone.
I went shopping and we had ice cream. We got on the train and again brushed my knee against his. He looks down, and moves his leg. Ok, maybe this isn't working and want to break up with him again. He remembered Lot 5 as we left. I asked if he never plays his radio in the car, it wasn't on when we came. He isn't familiar with our stations so he doesn't play it here. I just his hit the search button until I find something I like. If it is a long highway journey, I'll play CDs. Guess what, he doesn't have any CDs, period. He said he needs to get a CD player on the way to the family reunion. At home, he pets the cats. I ask if he is blowing off or staying again. He will be leaving in an hour. Since he will be here a while I show my scrapbook from England. He saw my brother's book at the reunion and we had to stop before finishing to leave. I showed it to finish seeing the trip. After show and tell, I started reading Harry Potter. I put my feet next to him, and he moved his leg but my feet still touched him. Since I never have broken up with anybody before, guys always were the one leaving me behind, I shall write some drafts before sending him my break up email so I don't get misinterpreted. I just got an email stating my birthday gift to him was just shipped out today. I don't know whether to mail it to him or send it back to Target.com. It is a nice watch. I'm just exhausted making this relationship work. I can't take it anymore. Post later. Bye!

Where's my kitty?
I took the cats outside as usual and half way through our outing, I heard an animal squealing in the distance and someone shouting "Get it, get it!" Where's my kitties?, my mother instincts kicked in. Precious meowed from shaded grass nearby, but Where was Frodo? The squealing didn't sound like him so I was hopeful he was not being chased, besides he's terrified of people and runs away anyone approaching him. Frodo comes sprinting out of distance bushes and heads for the door, then runs upstairs when I open it. I observe very intensely how he was walking and running to catch any possible limping from injury. No limping, but he did have dark spot on his white paw. I gently glided my hand over his paw and he didn't flitch or meow so I assumed he was okay. Must be dirt. The squealing continued another minute and stopped. Maybe they were chasing the stray cat that hangs around the bushes next to the garages, or rabbit, or squirrel. Who knows? Post later. Bye!

Wake up call
Earlier this morning I opened the balcony door since the cats love the cool air. Later I woke up to a squawking noise and growling. I assumed it was the cats pouncing each other (they make strange noises when playing) and then I saw a brown object fluttering around squawking. Chipmunk? No a chipmunk couldn't get into my 3rd floor place. I slipped on my glasses and saw feathers. It looked like some sort of wren remaining still until Precious or Frodo pawed at it. It looked adult w/out any baby fluff, but then it is a little late for baby birds. The growling was from Precious. They chased it into the living room and back to the bedroom to the living room and back to the bedroom. It squawked for about 30 min. and I thought it flew back out the balcony door to freedom. I went back to sleep. I wake up to discover a dead bird in my closet with puncture wounds. I grabbed a bath towel and folded it twice to avoid touching it. I picked it up and dropped it off the balcony. Apparently, Precious and Frodo lost interest when it died. When I was filling the food bowls, I saw the same kind of bird go into a hole in the eave outside my window. I have no idea how a bird got into my bedroom. Post later. Bye!

See Jane use tools
Whenever something needed fixing, my Mom always said to just let Dad do it. The problem is that it takes Dad 5 minutes to accomplish the job but 2 weeks to get to that 5 minute job. I get tired of waiting so I learn to use tools myself. Granted I often have to use a dictionary to read the instructions, but eventually figure things out. Look Dick. See Jane use tools.
Since my cats have made monster holes in my window screens, I got a pet-proof screening complete with tool, spline, and directions. I had to provide the scissors. The instructions said things like use convex side of tool to push screen into groove and use concave side of tool to push the spline into the groove. Did you follow that? This is why my Dad changes the oil and windshield wipers on my car. My brother did explain how to change the oil in my car engine and I answered back that he assumed I knew which part of the engine contains the oil.
I did figure out what to do when I removed the old spline (rubber stuff holding the screen to the window frame set in a groove around the frame). The pushing the rubber spline into the groove was the hard part. I never figured out which side was concave and which is convex, they look the same. After 3 hours, 3 band aids, and 2 blisters (1 broke and the skin peeled off), I decided to go shopping before the store closed. When the blister broke I put on my exercise gloves. My hands hurt carrying those sacks to the car. In another 1 1/2 hours, I finished the job at last and the screw head I had in its magnetic holder, when the frustration of this provided tool hit the brink, fell out yet again and slipped through the floor boards on my balcony to tink below. I'm unsure which below neighbor has it. I put on band aid #4.
My cat had a confused episode when he realized the screen was missing from the window. Want to know the best part of all this? I thought I got the wrong color because my screen looked gray and I had bought black. When I removed the spline, the screen underneath was black. That was one dirty screen. I emailed all my pals asking for assistance to do the other screen window that needs replacing. Post later. Bye!

My 4th of July
When my boyfriend picked me up we were outside and Frodo had been chased up a tree by a dog. He offered to climb the tree to get him, but no I said, he is terrified of people and he knows how to get down. We waited and Frodo jumped from branch to branch howling. I think he was trying for a smoother part to climb down at. Precious starts to get impatient and climbs halfway to jump down. Frodo changes branches yet again, shimmies down tree trunk backwards to spin around and jump down. Boyfriend said he never seen a cat do that before. Now he knows why I wasn't worried. His car was very clean inside and out. On the way to my hometown, he asked me if I ever been to my hometown's celebration since I moved to the big city. Yes. He also asked why I wanted to run away from small town living and move to the big city. Uh, there are no apartments, one has to buy a house. If I had to money for a house, I have no objections to living in a small town. I prefer it cause small towns have less pollution that make my allergies act up.
We make it in and wait for the parade to start. Just Dad is there. Mom is with the 4th of July Committee and with the raffle stand guarding the prices (they didn't bring the umbrella stand so she got a bad sunburn). Intros and later my brother-in-law and niece show up so more intros. Watch the parade and dive for candy. No marching band this year. We next eat lunch and go to the park. We try to find Mom and find her after we played the duck pond. The other games required tossing hoops or balls that were a little too advanced for my 3-year-old niece. Mom asked me to get her a lemonade and gave me money for it. Boyfriend came to the stand with me and got a Pepsi. When I gave Mom the lemonade, Boyfriend said that he got confused, he thought my Mom gave me money to buy myself lemonade. I swear after spending over 15 hours with him, his clueless, easily confused, indecisive mind is resembling my stupid coworker everybody hates. And Boyfriend thinks he is going to be a manager at a pet store. Yes, he wants to get out of the grocery business and into pet stores because he placed his resume on monster.com and the only people offering jobs were pet stores.
While watching sand volleyball, he asked if I wanted to get in the game. No, that's why I didn't sign up for the tournament. He didn't want to play either. He asked 4 times if I wanted to get something to drink. I finally explained if I wanted a drink, I would have gotten up and bought one. He said he wanted another Pepsi. OK. He got up and got one. He has an old lawn chair he said he wanted to repair the strips cause they do have kits for that, then said maybe just toss it away and get a new one cause it is hard to open and shut. Whatever. We then went over to the stage to listen to music. He said he tried to sing once and sounded like a frog and never sang again. OK. I didn't go into my choir experience. I sang solo contests and the national anthem at a football game. He asked what there is to do here since I know all about this place. Volleyball, music, rides for kids, and games for kids is about it for the park. No firehose water fights this year. He asked about 3 times where the fireworks were taking place, are they in the park? We looked for a guy in the parade with a sign on an antique car stating he is raffling it off. Never found it. Boyfriend wanted to sign up to win it, so he can give it to his Dad for his birthday. He showed me a picture of his totaled car cause he fell asleep with the cruise control on and explained when one walks away from that wreck that one doesn't ask questions. OK, I don't think his falling asleep had anything with God, but didn't said anything. He showed me another picture of his dead aunt and living father. You keep pictures in your pocket?, I asked. No, he found them cleaning out his car.
After a while, we went back to my parents' house, niece and brother-in-law were trying to take a nap so she could stay up for the fireworks. I fed her cotton candy. Don't worry I only gave a hand full, I know sugar makes kids bounce off the walls. Mom came home a bit and we helped her count money, she spoke to Boyfriend a few minutes while having pie afterwards. We made a night deposit run to the bank for her (bank is on the other side of their yard). She left again. We started a movie and dozed off a few minutes. He apologizes for falling asleep. Went back to the park cause Mom wanted us there so she could eat supper. Niece was asleep so I said, Shhh. Well, Mom didn't need relief so we listened to the last stage performance. Boyfriend asked who draws for the raffle, the mayor? No, just whoever they pick to do it. A few kids did it.
Raffle over, we ask if Mom needed anything taken back to the house. The money. When she comes back, we count the money again and make another deposit run. Niece is awake when we come back and we set off some sparklers. Brother-in-law said everything was packed so I assumed they were leaving. No, just packing. Oh, we can set off more when it gets darker. We wait for darkness to come while chatting and eating parade candy.
Go to the fireworks and sit on the softball field. Almost get burnt when my niece turned a sparkler towards me. Had to turn our chairs to see the fireworks and my niece freaks out at the first boom. She cries to her Daddy to get up and go home, then comes to me, then Grandma. She calms down and back to me, back to Daddy. Still refuses to look at the fireworks. Go back home and finish the sparklers and snakes. Go home. I asked if he was ready for fatherhood after observing my niece. Oh yes, he is excited to have children, bad days and good days just happen. I said I wasn't eager to have children cause I had too much exposure from my nieces to know they are a lot of work. I think he needs more exposure to know what he is getting into.
Since I forgot my camera, I take his picture and he takes mine when we get back. I email my picture to him so he can copy it for his friends to see. He explained that his friends want to see a photo of me and he explains to them that he doesn't have one because we became official only a few weeks ago. I didn't ask what he meant by "official". He stuck around for a half hour. I asked when he planned on leaving. He wanted to play with the cats for a while. He commented how his Mom was concerned about him driving home after dropping me off. He said he will just pull into a rest area if he gets sleepy. Guess he didn't learn from crashing his car cause he fell asleep. Then he said he might go over to his cousin's house and see if anyone is home and go home tomorrow. He doesn't work until 4 PM. When I shut off my computer, he asked if I sent the picture. I think he waiting for that. Anyway, I start turning lights off and say to the kitties, Shall we go to bed now? He says good-bye. Today he emailed that he drove straight home and stopped twice to sleep at a rest stop and got home 8 hours later (it's a 3 hour drive). What a weirdo?! Post later. Bye!

Excitement
We had excitement at my car rental. The TSA agents think they own the airport. Just before I arrived, my coworker was helping a customer when a TSA agent (the people who screen the luggage at the security point) came up and demanded to know if he was the supervisor. No. She orders to speak with him in our backroom. He glances at the other location's manager standing there turning in their timesheets. She asked Madam TSA what the problem is. We have a red car w/out an inspection sheet in the window. Car washers are suppose to check for bombs before driving the cars into the rental lot and place an inspection sheet in the window. She grabs all red car keys and fixes the problem. While she is outside she complains to a cop standing around. My coworker sent an email to the bossman owner cause his complaint of his employees being pulled away from customers would hold more weight than our poor employee whining. All TSA had to do was call the counter on the phone and informed us we had a car w/out an inspection. Like I said, TSA think they own the airport and can order us around in the name of security. I suppose after reading this post, TSA will close all the car rental counters again and confiscate all our box cutters, scissors, and plastic silverware to teach us not to complain. Post later. Bye!
