purrrrrr, and dammits

Lie has been pretty good chez RnJ ranch house. Other than the occasional decision to move things around. You know where this is going.

HE decided to move the old 60's Secretary of Hers to the other side of the Lounge. All went well, but then there was a large wall hole to be filled. SHE decided to fill it with the old Aztec calendar in her communal bathroom. SHE also dropped it prior to filling the wall apace, and of course, it was HIS piece that broke. So now we have a large empty wall space, but with all the lovely artisans we know, we're sure we'll have it filled soon. Really, it helps to keep the shouting to a minimum to remind ourselves of this.

HE also had HER in tears of laughter this week. We have a neighbor with a most annoying birddog that barks every ten minutes or when someone walks past. HE went out to the back yard with a tape measure and just happened to notice the next neighbor, wife of said dog owner, out there. Upon her inevitable question, he told her that we were buying chickens and putting up a coop out there.
*snort* *snicker*
She thought it a Fun idea (damned 'burban folks, anyway) and helped him to decide what to link where. Meanwhile, Wifey me is hiding in the kitchen and trying not to laugh my ass off... no really, why not have peacocks in the back yard too?

Cannot help selves..... the idea of chickies in our back yard is enough to make us cry with laughter. Who will feed the half-feral cat? Never mind.

Hopefully, this will lead the nest dcoor guy to realize that his dog is still a nuisance to his neighbors.

Heh. What's really funny, is I am SERIOUSLY thinking about getting some chickens and a coop for my back yard. ;)

Good luck with the redecorating. It is hard on a marriage but eventually good for the soul.

CAt toys, that's what chickens are.. but I guess they can hold their own.
