I So Wish I could Breath

Dearest Allergins of Austin, TX:

Please go away.  Please!  Just for an hour or so.  I mean, sure, you have every right to be here.  But, you are killing me.  No amount of Wal-Greens brand Claritin can make you stop killing my head, lungs, eyes, nose, and brain.  Sure, I can't afford the real army, I have to go with the army reserves.  But, give me a chance.  How many days must I wave the white flag before you give your white flag a flying?  An hour?  A ten minutes?  An anything!  Oh, you're killing me!

Sincerely,

Drippy Stopped Up Face Laura

Timber!!!!

In the long running tradition of Laura's incredible bad luck with places to live, I present the latest. Two (yes two) trees have fallen on my backyard! One doing considerable damage to the the back shed and the fence, the other just kinda ruffling up the clothes line. Mind you, neither of these trees are in our yard.  Both are trees of different neighbors!  Also, I have no idea how, but neither the dogs nor I heard that big sucker fall.  Can you believe that?  I slept through it!

So, in my great experiences that include hail breaking out every window, a sewage filled bedroom, a rat infestation, a burst pipe flood, a roof that leaked so much that there was a only a two foot space near the front door that was habitable whilst it rained, no toilet, no toilet again (and the plumber forgetting to come put it back in until we reminded them), a completely slanted house, no wiring on one half of the house, a crazy roach invasion, and The Zodiac Killer just to name a few, I give you the falling trees of 2010.

Whoa is me!

I'm telling you. I decide to start writing in my blog again, and guess what happens. My dog kills my computer. Yes, I get back from taking the sexy pot to the airport, and dumb old Schneider decided he wanted to sleep on the coffee table. He turned it into some sort of Mousetrap game that ended up with a big, old cup of watered down Coke to be dumped in the computer shorting out the motherboard. Ah, isn't that fab!?! And since the other ding-a-ling, Gus, decided the other day that no one should watch TV by chewing up the remote (of a digital converter box with no channel changing capabilities on the box and no available replacement remote available for purchase). Super fun! So, I have read a whole lot and done a bunch of laundry in the past few days. It's super fun at my house right now! Thank goodness for my phone and it's wondrous Internet options. But, it certainly isn't as fun as having an actual computer.

Other than that, all has been awesome. We got a great new house! Did you read that correctly? HOUSE! As in, no one is attached to us in any way! Hurray! It's a cute old house. In fact, here it is...


It is really cute! It needs a bit of sprucing up. I want some flowers and plants and whatnot around the porch. We have some work to do on the inside. I have been planning on painting the inside, but now that all extra cash is going to the "Laura needs some entertainment" fund, I am waiting a couple of weeks. I also don't have a clue as to what flowers to plant that will survive this everlasting 103 degree weather we are having. Oh, how I want some flowers or plants or something! I will get to it. We still haven't unpacked everything yet. Oh, it is so easy to get behind. But, I love the house. It's adorable. You should come and visit sometime!

Nothing too much else to report. The Jodster is in LA tonight making the music with Ruby Dee and the Snakehandlers. He's a Snakehandler. I've been told I am one myself. Oh, that was a jab at myself! But, it was funny. Anyway, he's off making sweet tunes for the East Coast. Lucky bastard. It's only 71 there.

So, off I am. I will update more tomorrow because I will be at a computer. So more tomorrow! Maybe I will finish another book. Dang, I feel so 1993.

Okay, Here We Go Again!

Well, it has been some time since I have written in my blog. And I thought today that what a better time to start than now. I started this blog with a move. And, guess what I just did? Imagine. Moving again. Also, in about 30 minutes I am taking Jody to the airport for a tour up the west coast with one of his new bands. Let me tell you, all kinds of things have gone down since that night long ago when I was bleaching my hair (including rebleaching my hair). So, soon I will be writing again! In fact, I would write more now, but I should probably get in gear to take my fellow to the airport. But, I will be back. Oh, don't you worry, I will be back!
