My life as I see it

Tsk, Tsk. I made a rookie mistake.

So, I bought this fancy schmancy phone off craigslist. (dont know craigslist? Well, you live under a rock). I paid this lady $100 for a Verizon Env3. I drove like over an hour (actually my dad drove over an hour) to meet her. I didnt verify that it had a clear ESN first. I asked her, though, in person, if it had a clear ESN and she assured me that yes it did. It was to be a christmas gift for John. Well, he forgot his phone in WV, so I decided we'd just go ahead and activate it now for him. And, guess what? It doesnt have a clear ESN and CANNOT be activated. Nice, huh??
I called ol Verizon, and they informed that hoochie mama has an outstanding balance and it will be 120 days before its free & clear.... ANGRY.

I keep saying, Kerri, maybe her kids didnt have any christmas and it was desperate times. Im going to keep saying that, but in the mean time, ive found her on facebook, found out where her husband works, and I WILL be visiting with them if this doesnt get resolved. Im going to put her email address with an alert on CL as a scammer if she hasnt atleast returned my call (oh yeah, I called) by tomorrow.

On the upside, our Booth family christmas party was this weekend, and it was great fun! I look forward to it all year! I had to work late on Friday, which put us leaving late on Sat, so we missed the Clark family christmas party, but maybe next year....

Im off to work now! Lets see what we can get in too :)

Only because you ASSUMED I was being rude I did re-read them, and I sent ALL the emails to several people, who said "wow, did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" Grow up. But I do have to say, I havent gotten an email that said FUCK YOU in a long time. Thanks for the laugh.

FUCK YOU who are you to call someone an idiot re-read your emails to me, they came off very rude! Hope you have a horrible holiday. Trying to help others out and save someone else some money and it only takes one dumb-ass to fuck it up!

You're an idiot. You did nothing of the sort. You reacted like I was attacking you, and I was merely asking CLARIFYING questions regarding the food. Dont assume people are always out to get you. And, your very last sentence says that I claimed you had too much food, when ALL I did was ask if you had SURPLUS food from buying in bulk. Had I realized I needed to speak slowly for you, I would have. Merry Christmas.

Maybe you should have just asked was anything wrong with it. I answered your questions just like you asked them. Thank you.

Ok,you are being reactive. People will sell all kinds of things on here, im just clarifying. Plus, wet food isnt always spoiled, it just needs to be fed faster than food that hasnt gotten wet. My question was Is it bulk food and you have too much, like, did you simply acquire too much food. And excuse me for asking questions to protect my pet.

First of all I would NEVER offer wet food or food that has something wrong with it to anyone or any pet! My Great Dane, Rocky of 10 yrs. passed and I no longer need the food instead of going to the pet store every week I always bought at least a months supply at once and more if on sale. So yea I buy in bulk and who are you to say its to much not knowing the situation! Have a nice day!

yeah, iis it like bulk food you have too much, did it get wet? Is there something potentially wrong with it?

Hi - would love to buy this from you. Thanks - KErri

In John Deere Green...

Whats this, you might ask? This adorable, green thing with chickens painted on it??

Or, whats this? this large, in charge, green thing attached to my chicken fence?

Well, its my chickens' new crib! Or coop! (Whichever makes you happy... ) I found this smokin' deal on Craigslist for 100 smackaroos. I couldnt have built it for that...Hell, who am I kidding, I couldnt have built it, but im betting JOHN couldnt have built it for that EITHER. And, im sooo in love with it! Is it normal to be in love with a chicken coop? I dont know either, but I was soo worried that my poor little chickens were gonna freeze to death.

Isnt it wonderful??? (And GINORMOUS)

And, look how snuggly they are! I did have to actually PUT them on the roost the first time, but they'll get it eventually!

Meet Debbie Downer

(Debbie has never been to Dallas, in case you are wondering)

Debbie Downer has spent the last several weeks focusing on negative things.

Debbie has stalled the foster care inspection.

Debbie has gained weight. More than she's willing to admit, so dont ask her. (I mean it, Mom)

Debbie has berated herself for things she has no control over.

Debbie has removed her wedding pictures from the walls and replaced them with a picture of a basket.

Debbie has avoided family.

Debbie has been quiet, and sleeping to avoid leaving the house.

Debbie has done no laundry.

Debbie HAS cleaned the house, but was evil while doing it.

Debbie has not washed any of her husband's socks, therefore causing him to wear mismatched socks (because he doesnt know how to wash them). Debbie secretly enjoys this.

Debbie has been down.

Debbie sometimes feels needy, scared, and unworthy. She sometimes feels unloved and so sad that crying is required.

Recently, Debbie has avoided blogging because its not so easy to have a funny, upbeat post when you are down. Seems that not much funny stuff goes on around you...

I saw Debbie today while I was fixing my hair in the bathroom. She looked fatter, with ratty hair, bushy eyebrows, dry face, chapped lips. Seriously?!

I think Debbie has worn out her welcome.

Charleston & Cincinatti

About 2 weeks ago, I went to charleston to deliver 3 little puppies. Ive never been, but have 2 favorite books (Charleston & On Leaving Charleston) that have always made me want to go. In fact, because of the books, my male child's name will be Tradd. Being able to go was amazing for me, and I had a blast, even though we only stayed a few hours. I did fervently pray that it would NOT rain in charleston. It rained ALLLLLLLL the way TO charleston, hard, ridiculous down pours with hydroplaning and sheets of water, and it rained all the way HOME from charleston, but nary a drop fell on us INSIDE Charleston! I saw Tradd St, had an excellent dinner @ Sticky Fingers, walked around downtown a little bit, spent time at the water and tooks lots of pictures! SOO HAPPY!! Little Angus of course travelled with his momma and I got some adorable pictures of him :).

Cincinatti was basically torture. I was in a bad mood, and my travelling companion was moody and whiny. He griped and moaned about my driving for 16 hours. By the time we hit NC again, I was ready to shoot him, and spent a good amount of time entertaining myself by changing the lyrics of "Goodbye Earl" to include his name and different ways of offing him. Then, laughed hysterically, which woke him up. I was picking up a dog in Cinci. I drove 8 hours to get her. I was mislead and misinformed. Next week, Im returning her. Nice huh?? You win some, you lose some. Atleast it didnt rain on us!
