Random Thoughts VIII: The Ocho

I haven't weighed her since July 31st, and in that time she's only gained 1.5 lbs. I'd be surprised if she gets that much bigger.

My productivity today was slowed down by new girl on Netflix.

Season 5 is on there? The episodes with Megan Fox may be my favorite groups of episodes from that show.

Slowly working on building up my liquor cabinet. Already got some fancy tequila an employee bought me (I'm not a tequila guy, so if anybody knows drinks, let me know. Shots don't count because I'm not 22 years old or at a bar), got some bourbon already. Bought some gin and vodka (Tanquerray makes vodka now? It was on sale at HyVee for 12 bucks, so I figured what the ****, why not?) and bought a bottle of Pinot Grigio. Not a wine guy, but figured that's probably at least a safe wine choice. Got my Rose's lime juice and some tonic and olives. Really just need some rum, a bottle of scotch, some Kahlua and maybe some Bloody Mary fixtures and I think I'm set.

Any seabreezes or kinky for me?

Hubby had some good tequila, that is all gone now so just have the cheap stuff for margaritas. I thought I was being all sneaky and smart and bought him some nice rum (went off the suggestion of the guy at Cyclone Liquors, they always talk like they know about it so I trust them). He was out, so he bought himself some different nice rum. So now we need to get to making rum drinks. When is CG coming to Ames the?

Speaking of that, she should be here today. I have extra volleyball tickets. I am taking my youngest 2 while the 11yr old is a game helper and the oldest plays for the championship of their softball tournament this weekend.

probably be a while before another Ames visit though volleyball would honestly be the most likely reason at that point. No friends left in college. I would be sure to bring rum though.

Bring some grapefruit juice and I could probably make a sea breeze.

Volleyball on ESPNU. Getting smoked in the second set after winning the 1st 26-24. We are not very good this year.

Moving yourself or someone else?

Someone else, family friends, but I was the "young" one. Luckily their son came to help or it would have been way worse. Popped a couple of Ibuprofen and actually woke up feeling pretty good this morning.

What do people think of realtor signs being placed in property owner's yard w/o asking permission?

Had an "Open House" sign placed in the corner on the property yesterday morning. No time, no day information on the sign. Just the realtor sign with OPEN HOUSE on the top.

We were home all day yesterday. Why wouldn't they have the courtesy to come to the door and ask? I would have said 'yes, thanks for asking me.' I feel that without asking they are trespassing. No, it's not on the verge between the sidewalk and the street. There are no sidewalks.

Sign is/was still there this morning. I mowed at noon today and had to move it. It collapsed and I just left it there flat on the grass.

True confession. 25 years ago I had a similar situation (at a different property). I took the sign down and threw it into the balcony of the garage.

I wonder how the realtor would feel if I placed a nice big YARD SALE sign in their yard next time I'm holding one?

Personally I would have made that sign disappear. I would have no problem if they ask, but no ask no help.

Whoever it was picked it up sometime late this afternoon.

Not overly impressed with Tanquerray vodka. Am impressed with Early California brand green olives.

Who is ready for another in laws story? No one? That's what I figured.

I wonder if we missed our window of opportunity. Weren't we one point from the Final Four against Florida State, and then really haven't made any sort of run since?

Tanquerray makes gin. Apparently now they also make vodka.

had a rough ride with setters since then. Mauck is supposed to be pretty good. Ranked like 24th about like Landwehr was so I'm hoping she'll stick next year.

needed to aerate lawn. Been avoiding it cause we didn't know if places would do delivery of it since it can't fit in our vehicle. Once place I emailed never responded. Saw yesterday that neighbors were doing theirs. Darn. Oh well, had to mow and stuff and I was having girlfriends over and then DH was going to guys' night. Didn't really have time for that yesterday anyway.

About 3:30 one of the neighbors puts in our chat group that anyone could use the aerator they rented for the day. Yay! Poor DH had to do that then cause I was cooking and trying to get stuff ready. He had just been about to come in and shower so he could leave. I was making cookies too so I had him take cookies back with the aerator and money. The wife commented that the cookies were delicious. Yay! Later on, one of the neighbor girls brought some of the money back because "it was too much" I was like oh no, you keep this if your parents don't want it. Seriously, we had been expecting to pay for the whole thing plus delivery and such on our own. We got to split it 4 ways so it was like so much less than we had been expecting to pay.

TL: DR, making neighbor friends via cookies and cash to the kids.
