The Original Bush Hog

 Wednesday is the day that I got a lot accomplished,  I had a Wednesday Afternoon to kill, so I decided to stain and finish my picnic table. then took Ragnarok out for a little bushogging session,  apparently we completely forgot one of the pastures hahah..  Maya had a great time running around with me.  her blood sugar has finally stabilized she was 108 today.  it only took 8 units of Insulin twice a day to get her on the right track, but thank god it’s all better now.

then I went and got some chickens… long story and crazy story how I got these chickens haha..
The cable guy, yes I said cable guy, came and was fixing the cable at my office… he was waiting on something to program and he sat down in the waiting room and picked up a backyard poultry magazine and started talking about chickens..
well come to find out he bought like 50 chickens because his friends wanted some.. and then he raised them… well they are 8 months old.. and he’s got all these chickens.. so I went to his house and got 5 of them.. and bought them home….  they aren’t laying eggs yet, but, it will be soon…  My current hens are on “henopause” as I like to call it.. they are all molting so I have no eggs, I used the last 3 of them in a Key Lime pie for my honey today..  (it’s his birthday).. the pie is a surprise.. which I hope he don’t read this before he gets the surprise haha..

well, sad story about the new chickens…
trigger.. the little angel.. and Rollo my sweet little boy.. were both caught ‘down in the mouth’ with one of my chickens.. i came sliding into the driveway like bo duke like i pulled the darn emergency brake.. jumped out of my car and started screaming at them.. each one had a wing in their mouth and they were running around in circles with my poor dead chicken… so, I lunged on Trigger first and beat that boy with the dead chicken.. and Rollo ran…. I finally caught him and beat him for running and with the dead chicken….  needless to say… I am down one new chicken….
I was so pissed I was seeing red…

They did suck up and try to explain they were sorry…
Rollo kept squeezing up closer and closer to me.. and before he did.. Trigger was in the kitchen looking at me with sad eyes.. and kept following me around… until I finally said, I forgave him..

Zeus knew I was pissed and he stayed away… he’s already been beaten with a dead chicken… I give all dogs one good go-round.. and then I’m done..

I love my chickens now…

So one night my friend and I headed out to Columbia, to do some retail therapy..  we both had some hellish days at work… so we headed to belks and then victoria’s secret.. I got all my free panty coupons cashed in, and a 30 off a sports bra coupon which was awesome because I got one for like 20 bucks and then got a new sleep shirt and some flannel pants that matched.. and one of those eye things that go over your eyes when you sleep…. I left it on my night stand.. i’m not sure what to do with it…. but, i see women use them in the movies all the time and I think hmm…
Elvira even had one in her movie….  hers was black.. and mine is pink plaid hahahah….
but, we ventured out to eat after that… and wound up at this place called the Brittish bull dog pub… I got guiness roasted corned beef and cabbage.. which was to die for…
and a blonde guiness… I had never heard of that before… but, by god it was awesome..  the glass they gave it to me in was cute too.. hahah

So, that was that week…. Saturday I went up to Union county to their craft fair.. which sucked.. it was colder inside the barns than it was outside.. So Mom and I ran over to awl-mart to get warm..and I wound up buying some rugs for the floors…  those darn hard wood floors are freezing in the winter..
and I got a propane lantern,some cranberry and sage truiscuits which are awesome by the way.. and some christmas gifts… and then we headed back home.. and that’s when I found the dogs with the chicken… ugh…

So Sunday, We got up and it was freezing, we fell asleep next to the fire and let it burn out haha..
but, I was ready to go to church until i passed out spare bedroom/storage place…. and I was reminded I went and ordered flooring like 3 weeks ago.. and never heard from the installer/contractor jerk face…
So, I googled Lowe’s and found out they opened at 8.. we were there 8:15…. to which I got my money back and bought laminate… and we went home and installed that.. and one of those locks on the front door with the keypad.. holy crap.. that thing is awesome.. but, I had to employ my father’s brain to do it.. he was already at my house supervising.. and I was trying to get these stupid screws in.. and I couldn’t get them..  then He got it to work.. then programmed it… and I love the thing.. I hope it don’t ever stop working because I’d be screwed hahah..

Monday was a loooooooooooong day…  I saw like 40 patients.. which was weird because it was raining and cold and we were under Tornado watches….. but, that’s good that people came out in it 🙂

well that is all that’s going on here on this side of the Mississippi…
