Fence Monster...?

Somehow our neighborhood has a "Fence Monster." Huge giant holes, some 3-4 pickets wide and at least a foot in length! It started with our neighbors, showing us what had happened to their fence, then random houses in the neighborhood started showing signs. Signs that something was creating giant holes with jagged edges and scrapes down and around.
My husband and I had been trying to figure out what was going on. Why all of our neighbors had these huge holes taken out of their fence. In some cases it was right in the middle of the fence. Some 3-4 pickets wide and at least a foot long. That is when my husband and I joked about the "fence monster."
Our little old lady neighbor next door was more concerned that I. She had a small chihuahua named "Snicker" that she had to protect. Not to overly concern her, I told her not to worry, and we would watch out for Snicker.

Sunday afternoon I went to let the dogs out into the backyard and to my surprise a huge hole in our fence, jagged and broken. Just like the others around the neighborhood! I immediately hollered for Eddie (my husband). I ran outside as the winds were picking up and swirling around my head. I'm trying to figure out what I could use to block this huge hole, after all, I have my own dogs to protect! To my surprise, I had some goats and horses in my backyard! Yep...you heard right... goats and horses. Now my backyard isn't big enough for goats and horses. Our town may not be huge, but I live in the city! So I am freaking out a little at this point.
I run out into the alley and I look north, where normally you would see cars driving down the street. No cars. It's starting to rain a little, with blowing dirt mixed in. I look to the south and again no cars. Just horses. That's right lots and lots of horses north and south of me!
Where is Eddie? Grrrr...I am really getting annoyed now! As I turn to go back inside I look next door and guess who I see? Snicker. I run back to the alley towards my neighbors yard to rescue Snicker and almost get plowed by a horse! They are running down my alley towards me. Even little ponies are headed this way! I get back into my yard just in time. Snicker... I have decided will have to wait! I search for my own dogs as the wind whips dirt and rain in my face.
Whew! I keep hollering for Eddie, the kids, somebody? Anybody? Suddenly I hear this beep (pause), beep (pause), beep. The kind of beep you hear when machinery or big trucks are backing up. I head to the alley to see what the beep is. To my surprise, my neighbor in her wheelchair, is being loaded onto a flat-bed truck! I don't recognize any of these people. She's clutching her purse to her chest with one hand, and has Snicker in the other. I'm staring in disbelief! My poor neighbor has this zoned look on her face and she starts screaming at the top of her lungs!


And then I woke up...

Seriously...crazy dream huh!

That bad 7 letter word!

That's right...that bad 7 letter word I have been repeating since I got off work Friday!

Normally I watch what I say... But this weekend has been extremely hard for me! Since hate is such a strong word... I'll go with "dislike!".

Ok... "I really dislike you L-A-U-N-D-R-Y!" In a big bad way! More thank you know! Come to think of it, why don't we just throw in the dishes too! Oh and vacuuming, toilets....you catch my drift.

So I'm thinking I will delegate the chores...so it goes faster! Woot! :)

Then I will get comfy with my snuggie and my nook and have a comfy cozy weekend! So that's the plan. I'll let you know if it happens!

Have a super weekend everyone!

"That was EASY"

First let me say that "I Love, Love, Love this Easy button!" I think everybody should have one!

My daughter was cleaning out her room one night and gave me this "easy" button! I instantly laughed and brought it to work. I have to tell you that when you press the button it says in a mans voice - "That was easy!"

So I now have an easy button on my desk at work. (I'm attaching a picture so you can see it.) I have many people here at work just walk in and hit my easy button as if it were there own. Somehow this "easy" button has grown on everybody. What is it about this "easy" button that we love? Don't laugh but here our my reasons for hitting the "easy" button...

*I'm patting myself on the back for a job well done!
*I'm thinking to myself "Good job Robin for thinking of that when no one else did!"
(Plus it sure looked good to my boss, not to mention I'm walking around the office with my head held high...thinking Oh, yea...I'm the bomb!!! haha)
*I have finally finished the dreaded task that I've been working on.
*It is finally 5:00pm and I'm singing 9-5 like Dolly Parton.
*I can finally breathe now that my works done!
*I'm so mad and irritated that I'm not finding an easy way to do something, so I beat the easy button with a passion. (Seriously beating the button...so that the man's voice is now sounding kind of strangled and more like a woman than a man!)

I finally realize that beating my "easy" button and breaking it, may send all my co-workers into a state of shock! Then were would we be? Wait, I know...I would be doing all of their work! Um...NO!

So now, I'm making myself and all of my co-workers go super super easy on the "easy" button! Sounds corny I know, but hey I'm already looking for a replacement online.

So overall whew..."That was Easy!" ;)

Reading too much?

Ok, I'll admit it! All I want to do lately is read. Read, Read, and Read some more!!
Honestly I've been racking my brain on "Why I need to read today" or "Why I shouldn't read today?" And it is not even one specific book! I have so many that I want to read at once, but for some reason my mind keeps telling me to finish the book I am reading now before starting another one. Are you able to read multiple books? If so please tell me how you do this. I really want/need to know.
