Thank you may I have another?

If you recall, the Lieutenant and I (well, mostly him) had a little pow wow with the local friendly law enforcement.

Well, yesterday I was interested to see why the county was sending us a letter. Silly me, I assumed it was in regards to the recent phone messages we had been receiving as a warning of some criminal activity in our neighborhood. If only I should be so lucky... this was no friendly little note, it was a ticket, for disturbing the peace. With it came a photo copied piece of paper that was practically folded into origami outlining the ordinance. Oh yes, $176 for disturbing the peace. I am PISSED.

We have a court date on August 7th. So now the Lieutenant has to take a day off of work and we have to go down and try to get the fines dropped. What a royal pain in the ass.

Since there is nothing I can do at this point in time, I figured I would do some laundry and what do I find? My "bend a man's will" skirt was half eaten. The zipper was meticulously nibbled from the cloth and the hem was undone with precise care. I have no clue which dog did it, but it was one of the black dogs. I would put money on the littlest fucker since the skirt was laying across the back of the recliner all set to go to the dry cleaners. She is the only dog that has the habit of climbing up on the recliner.

Either way, the skirt is gone. The one piece of clothing I felt good in.


Flash forward to 1:30am. Power goes out. Power comes on. Power goes out. Power comes on. The poor Lieutenant just wanted to take a shower and go to bed. Unfortunately he had to settle for a washcloth in between outages.




I am praying that our annual fund raiser goes well this weekend and the wedding for the evil step-sister is drama free. I don't know if I can handle any more "challenges" right now.
