Random Ramblings

I changed the ringtone on my phone again yesterday. I have a ton of them now to choose from. The main one is now the theme from The Twilight Zone. It's cool, and most importantly, it's loud so that I can hear it. I also changed Kenneth's from the theme from Caddyshack to one that says, "Mom, pick up the phone." The funny thing is, it sounds just like him, well at the beginning anyway. ☺

The coyotes were really making a ruckus last night. They were in the field right behind our property howling like crazy. The dogs were out there barking at them and either their barking, or my screaming for them to come in the house, scared the coyotes away. The sound of them howling always sends a chill up my spine, especially when they're as close to the property as they were last night. I also don't like the dogs being out there when I know that coyotes are close by. I don't know if the coyotes would do anything to the dogs, but I don't want to take that chance.

The dogs also almost got skunked last night. We think there may be a skunk living under the workshop or close by and the dogs startled it once last week and it sprayed. Thankfully none of them got it, but man, it sure stunk out there. Last night, before the coyotes, they startled the skunk again and again it sprayed. Again, none of them got it, but the smell followed them in and for a couple minutes, it really stunk like skunk. Dave sprinkled them with some concoction he made with I think baby powder and some other kind, just in case they got a little of it, but I do have a recipe for a solution to get rid of the smell just in case. If anyone would like it, let me know.

They all need baths so maybe I'll break down and give them all one, depending on the weather this week. If I don't, nobody else will, but I don't really mind it, they're good when it comes to taking baths.

Yesterday was Jake's 11th birthday. I forgot all about it, but I also wasn't paying attention to the date. Today and tomorrow are sad anniversaries. Today it's been 10 years since our cat, Velcro died and tomorrow will be a year since our mare, Sottie died.

There's a lady bug on my space bar that keeps getting bumped up and down whenever I hit it. Poor thing is probably sea sick by now.

I want to do something today, but I'm not sure what it is I want to do. I know I need to get a bigger box to ship something back east to friends of ours and make a dentist appointment for this week, but other than that, I'm stuck.

Good news, Weight Watchers is going very well. I'm almost down to where I was when I quit the last time. Once the weather cooperates, I need to pull out my bike and start riding it again. I also need to start using my weights again. I want to look good for my niece's wedding in June.

Well, I do need to do something, so I need to get off of my duff. Have a great day everyone.
