Wow, almost a month has gone by since my last post. Talk about busted projects. I know I have a more interesting life than this. Buckling down is gotta be the watchword. Here's a little recap...
- Had a birthday party - most of the guests were my wife's friends;
- Woke up at 5:00 am on April 29 to find myself in the middle a pond. The water was about 1/4-inch from the lip of my front step. Thankfully none got into the house. People who lived in the Cypress area all their lives can never recall being flooded - ever. The Cypress, TX area got a total of 11 inches of rain in 24 hours;
- After the water receded spent the rest of the afternoon trying to dry out 3 cars;
- Went to the George Bush Presidential Library at Texas A&M University on April 30;
- Bought a 2008 Ford Edge on May 1. Our Solara had 176,000 miles on it. It was still in good condition but we needed something we could depend on better due to the fact that without the car we can't work;
- Got another puppy on May 3. Her name is Sharon and she is a German Shepherd Dog (believe it or not the word 'Dog' is part of the proper name for the breed). At 10 weeks old she was flea-bitten pretty bad and had a microbial parasite giving her orange diarrhea. We gave her a flea bath as soon as we got home and spent 2 hours combing out her coat. A $200 vet bill took care of the parasite (to be fair, it did include shots and an exam). The housetraining oddysey continues...
- Finally got rid of our 1995 Nissan Pathfinder via a donation to the Houston Can Academy. Getting rid of it feels like closing a chapter on an old life. It's funny how attached we become to our cars.
Anyway, there's a quick recap of what's been going on. I left out one thing but we'll see how that goes later. First I want to say congratulations to my sister who just found out she's pregnant. I'm also planning a trip this summer to do a photo shoot. If everything works out ok for me on that thing I left out, this will be the last chance I have to a photo shoot for a long time. The only thing that remains is securing permission for the trip.
At any rate, I need to get back to work. I'll have a redux done tonight along with a photo of Sharon. To all my faithful and not-so-faithful readers I say "Have a nice day!"
