As promised, here are pictures of my new living room furniture. The rest of the photos are there in the ‘July Mish-Mash’ photo set on flickr. It looks so fabulous in our front room now, that hubby moved the stereo and surround sound all into the front room and we turned the den over to the children. Besides, it’s much cooler in the front room for some reason, so it’s actually our favorite place to chill now! It’s amazing what a few new pieces of furniture and decor items will do for a room!

Since it’s 118 degrees outside with a humidity factor of over 60%, we don’t spend too much time outside here lately. I did manage to snap some pictures of Chelsea getting one of her 40 million baths. We finally got the stench to come off of her body. I finally deducted that she must have popped her anal sack and excreted the crap all over the place and got it all in her coat and on her skin. That’s what it had to be. After all these baths, we finally got her to the point that now she just smells like a dog. Thank God! I swear I don’t think I could stomach one more second of that smell! How she could even stand herself is beyond me, but then again we are talking about an animal who lives to eat cat shit every chance she gets. I’ll never understand that either!!

I came in from having a cigarette yesterday (which is simply retarted since it’s so damned hot outside, but anyhow) to seeing Chelsea slinking out of the laundry room. I hollered at her, “Chelsea Rae! What did you do!?”, and she looked at me with those ears all pressed back, her head held low and her tail smashed up between her legs. The look on her face was “Nothin’ ma, I swear!”. However, her nose told a very different story. Her whole black nose was now white with cat litter. Completely coated. I went into the laundry room to check out the situation, and all the cat poop was out of the litter box and on the floor. Well, except for what she’d eaten. Gross! Gosh, dogs are strange creatures sometimes! That’s just…eww.

I wasn’t lying yesterday when I said a storm blew through and dropped half of one of my trees into my yard. We had been standing outside on the patio, under the porch, waiting for that coveted rain fall, when all of a sudden BLAMMO! The top portion of one of our trees came crashing down before our eyes! Holy cow. There was no cracking sound, no lightening strike, and the wind wasn’t even that bad at that point. That sucker just snapped off and came tumbling down! Thank God nobody was standing right there when it fell! Dogs, or humans. We were all lucky and mom couldn’t stop shaking for almost an hour. Along with the wind and the rain (oh, and of course the trees crashing to the ground) we also experienced a power outtage for a time, leaving us all sweltering in the house. It wasn’t even cool enough outside to play in the rain, but, with the electrical storm that was going on above our heads, I don’t think that would have been a wise decision anyhow. Well, unless of course you enjoy getting that kind of a charge! Me? I’ll stay inside and wait for my computer to come back on, kthx.

That’s about it for the mish-mash of July! I’ve a feeling this heat and humidity is part of the reason that I’ve been feeling so poopy this week and I’m praying it will go away soon. We don’t really get to see winter, if that’s what it’s called, until at least the end of September, but once August is over with, the searing heat does go away some leaving only the milder heat behind. I think July is the longest month of the year. Could we please just get it over with already and move on???
