Dumb Diddy Dumb

Our new vehicle. Actually, Amy basically claimed it as her own. I'll be happy if I can just touch it once in a while. So what is it you ask? It's a 2007 Toyota RAV4. It's blue in color. Actually, it's Nautical Blue Metallic to be specific. It's pretty freakin' sweet! Maybe (if you're lucky,) Amy will let you touch it also. (I wouldn't count on it though!)

My Year In Reveiw - by Amy

2006-12-30T22:44:00.000-08:00

Well, I saw this idea on Kazoofus, but I'm pretty sure it's been done a few million times before!

<> January <> This was not a great month. It started out with massive layoffs at work, followed by a nice demotion for me. If I ever hear anyone say, "Well, at least you still have a job!" in that irritatingly happy tone of voice, I may snap. I'm not lucky to be employed. They are extremely lucky to have me working for them. (I think I'm undemoted now, but no one has told me anything yet....) This was quickly followed by a car accident and some bruised or cracked ribs. That hurt! At least it was all the other guys fault. He lost control of his car and flew over an island into the passenger side of our car. The important thing is that the car is OK!

<> February <> This must have been a dull month. I don't remember much about it. I was in pain. It was very cold in the basement apartment we lived in. I hobbled around work and did next to nothing. I had ibuprofen that looked like horse pills.

<> March <> This is when we started looking for a house! I finally pestered Rob into it.

<> April <> We picked out our house. Since we knew we had a fenced in yard, we got a dog! My aunt wasn't too happy when we brought a smoosh faced dog home, but we both love her.

I'll add some more later!!!!

The Class From Hell Is Over!!!

2006-12-23T10:49:00.000-08:00

Who would have thought that going to school each day for a month would be so hard! I got an A in the class and passed the test to become a Registered Nurses Aide. Only a few years to go before I get to nursing school. From what I hear, good grades go a looooong way, so I'll have to see if I can keep these A's going.

Thursday I went from six hours of clinical to work. They didn't want to give me the day off, and calling in would have lost me my holiday pay! After work we went right to my test. I'm suprised I passed. When I got home I slept for about 16 hours. I've never been so tired in my life.

Now we get to start the Christmas frenzy. Blech. What the heck stuffing our faces and having present opening orgies has to do with anything is beyond me, but I hope it will be fun.

2006-12-09T16:25:00.000-08:00

This house is across the street and 2 doors down. Is it unreasonable for me to be scared just a little bit? I think what scares me the most are the big nutcracker dudes that they attached to their house.

F.Y.I. - The streak of light in the foreground is the tail lights of a passing car.

Why Are You Taking This Class Anyway????

2006-12-07T14:35:00.000-08:00

I'm about halfway through my Nursing Assistant class now. Yay!!!! It's almost over!

Every day, we team up with a partner to practice skills. You know, turning people, washing them, making the beds, stuff like that. On the second day of class I had someone tell me that they truly hated the idea of having to deal with urine and feces. Personally, I wouldn't want to play in the stuff, but it's one of those facts of life. People poop. People pee. If someone can't clean themselves, SOMEONE has to do it for them. She also didn't want to deal with old people.

The next day I was partnered with someone who is foot phobic. She hates touching any ones feet. And she wants to be a LPN. Most LPNS work in nursing homes. Most of them touch feet.

The day after that I was partnered with someone who didn't want to look at genitals. She's planning on becoming a nurse too. Thankfully, we don't have to look at each others genitals, but we have to go to clinical to pass the class. At clinical, we'll be taking care of real people, with real genitalia. I think she's SOL.

I wonder who I'll wind up with tomorrow?

Have I mentioned lately how much I love my job?

2006-12-04T11:13:00.000-08:00

I believe it was two summers ago, a big thunderstorm with lots of hail came through the area, damaging a lot of homes, mainly roofs. 99.9 percent of the people in the area had their roofs repaired, which of course, was covered by insurance. Our white trash neighbors on the other hand, are slower than most. Fast forward to today...... They are finally getting around to having their roof repaired, but that's not the real story here. The real story is the team of Mexicans who are doing the roof repair. At the time that this photo was taken, the temperature was 13 degrees, with a wind chill of -4. Now I've lived in this state for my whole life (29 years) and I think that it's cold out, so imagine how the Mexican fellas feel. I'm sure they're not so used to it. I guess the point to this story is: next time I'm at work grumbling about how much I hate my job, I'll think of those Mexican guys.

Yikes!

2006-12-03T10:46:00.000-08:00

Good god, this scares me! Amy looks better with my eyebrows and moustache than I do. From now on, call her Amos. I guess that's the male version of "Amy". Maybe I'll take a picture of her hair and put it on me.

The new table

2006-12-03T06:57:00.000-08:00

This is our new table, it's not actually new, we got it from Amy's grandpa (who is no longer with us.) It's not the most fancy table in the world, but it works. Much bigger than the old one.

2006-11-30T07:38:00.000-08:00

It's finally starting to get cold outside. I don't exactly enjoy cold weather, but I do enjoy snow, and it can't snow unless its cold outside. Today it was so cold that I went to clean my windshield at the gas station, and the blue stuff (which isn't supposed to freeze) , was frozen..... Now that's cold!

My soon to be new vehicle (I hope)

2006-11-16T08:57:00.000-08:00

I WANT THIS!!!!!!!! As the man of the house, I demand that we get
this vehicle, enough said... I call the shots around here, so can we
please get one? Pretty please with cherries on top. I promise I'll be
good.........
Oh wait, that's right, I'm the man and I demand this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1:39 P.M. November 4, 2006

2006-11-04T17:39:00.000-08:00

Well, Maybe it was 1:37. No one really got around to checking their watches right away, and his hospital room never had a clock.

I've never seen anybody die before. I also never knew that a persons last days could involve so many conversations about bowel movements. The funny thing is, not all of the bowel movements discussed were my Grandpa's. I'll have to thank my cousin Lauren for her awesome description of exactly what happens when she eats Chinese food. Yuck. I can't believe that my brother Jesse let one rip and then blamed it on the dying man. Especially when he was pretty much comatose and unable to defend himself.

We were all in his hospital room for a long time yesterday. Around midnight one of the nurses opened his door. She looked pretty suprised to see all those people camped out in his room. There were probably more than ten of us camped out on his floor. I'll have to think back and count...... It was at least 12. I guess that's not the norm in the ICU.

I can tell you that the floor at Mercy hospital is NOT a comfy place to sleep. The coffee there SUCKS! And there's one elevator that is more "fun" than the others. My sister and her friend spent most of the day riding up and down in that thing. Some of the doctors and nurses are jerks. Hey, just because you see people die every day doesn't mean you can be a complete ass! Some of the security guards are AWFUL! I think people in hospitals need sensitivity training. Everyone is someones family! Some of the staff are nice. One nurse cried.

I miss my Grandpa. He was the best that anyone ever had.

Well, at least he never had to go to the nursing home. Grandpa HATED that idea.

And thank you Keri. That would be nice. I think he'd like it.

It's Been A Long Day

2006-10-30T17:26:00.000-08:00

Rob was saying that when you're in a hospital, eight hours can seem like sixteen. Also, Halloween decorations in the ICU can seem a little morbid. All those ghosts and skeletons and things.... It just don't seem right.

My Grandpa isn't doing so well. I guess that instead of just having lung cancer he now has a brain tumor and a blood clot in his lung. Unless they want to have radiation or surgery, he might have about a week left. Of course, they gave him six months two years ago, so who knows. Even if they give him the radiation for the brain tumor, it would only give him another month or so, and that would be in a nursing home. He didn't like that idea much. It was kind of crappy watching my Mom and aunt try to decide how my Grandpa should die. At this point, it looks like they're going for the natural, less painful (for him) option.

That's a link to a newspaper article in the Iowa paper. He was very happy when that was written.

Maybe I'll write more later.

New computer desk

Ten Amish dudes, a page of Japenese instructions, and 5 hours later, we managed to get 'er put together.

2006-10-20T05:05:00.000-07:00

So, the other day I was on the phone with Domino's Pizza. While I was placing my order, my call waiting started to beep. It was one of my favorite sisters, Kathy. I couldn't put the Domino's guy on hold so I decided to call Kathy when I was done with my call. So anyways, I get off the phone with Domino's and call Kathy back. The first words out of her mouth when she answered the phone were "Domino's, how my I help you?" Needless to say, this freaked me out big time. Who the hell bought her a crystal ball?

My Big News

2006-09-25T06:38:00.000-07:00

And no, I'm not pregnant! Sorry Mom!

As of January, I get to be a college student again. Scary, huh? I'm going to North Hennipen to get some generals done so I can enroll in their nursing program. It's going to take FOREVER going part time, but I'm excited!

Rob's War Wounds

2006-09-24T02:08:00.000-07:00

Rob decided to start playing paintball the other week. He came home with this on him. That doesn't look like a lot of fun to me, but he seemed to like it.

A letter to Mother Nature

2006-09-08T20:16:00.000-07:00

Dear Mother Nature:

This entire week the skies have been clear, the moon has been full. Amy and I have been looking forward to looking at the moon through the telescope, but we can't do that during the week because we work nights. Finally Friday rolls around, we don't have to work and now the skies are cloudy. Not patchy clouds, oh no, thick clouds which have no end in sight. What ever have we done to piss you off? We are willing to offer a sacrifice to you for one clear night on the weekend. Perhaps Fang, I realize it's not the best offer, but it's the best we can come up with. Let us know what can be arranged.

Thank You,
Rob & Amy

Police Reports

2006-08-28T07:07:00.000-07:00

I was reading some police reports in a north suburbs community newspaper the other day. Usually, reading these reports provides some good entertainment. Here's an example:

* A 2005 Nissan Maxima valued at $20,000 was reported stolen Aug. 5 near the 2700 block of Co. Rd. 88. The victim remembered a short time later that he had loaned it to a friend.

How do you forget that you loaned your car to someone?????????????

2006-08-19T13:44:00.000-07:00

Look what I found while I was trimming the hedges. It scared the crap out of me! It was the biggest spider I've ever seen! Well, it was smaller than a Tarantula but bigger than a quarter. It was probably about an inch and a quarter long. Rob trimmed that part of the hedge! He also made sure not to disturb the Blood Sucking Death Spider of Death.

Misbehaving Cats

2006-08-19T07:21:00.000-07:00

I was spying on the neighbors the other day (through the telescope) when I saw Cleo sprawled out on our screen porches tarp. Here she is trying to get in through the window.

And here's Noodle making sweet love to my robe. I think it will need to be washed.

Happy Birthday To Me!!!!

2006-08-11T05:46:00.000-07:00

Well, it was a couple of days ago. Look at what Rob got me! And I got a new bike! (Rob wants me to post a pic of that too, so everyone can see how generous he is.) My Mom even wrote me a song... It went

Happy Birthday to you,

You live in a zoo,

With Ocho and Fang,

And a bunch of cats too!

Cats do the darndest things

2006-08-08T08:01:00.000-07:00

This is Cleo, she has always had an interest in going outside. Usually, she would try to sneak past us whenever we would open the door. Recently, Amy and I decided to let her out in the back yard to explore. Her cat-like instincts took over right away. Dead animals started appearing next to the back door, half eaten of course. I guess it's her way of saying "look what I did, you can have the rest!" She has turned into quite the little hunter. Sometimes, Cleo likes to come in and hang out with us. It turns out that her hunting skills are put to the test while indoors as well. For example, the other day I noticed that the cats were hungry so I went into the room where their food is kept. I had their food dish in one hand and with the other hand I reached into the bag of food to grab a handful. While grabbing a handful I felt something furry, "What could it be?" I thought. Possibly the cat food company put a cat toy in there as some kind of promotion. I looked into the bag of food only to find, not one, but two dead mice. I guess Cleo killed them then put them in the bag of food so that I would serve them up as a snack at a later time. No such luck, needless to say, I threw the mice away.

Rob's Dad

2006-08-07T08:01:00.000-07:00

Rob's dad was here this weekend. He built us a shelf. Hopefully, someday we will have something to put on it.

I think they look alike....

Fresh from the garden

2006-07-22T16:25:00.000-07:00

Looks like Amy and I will be eating healthy for a while. This is only the beginning, more is on the way. Look at the size of that one zucchini, it's as big as a roll of paper towels!

Lets clear something up Sis

2006-07-20T06:21:00.000-07:00

Just because I've had 2 pedicures, an eyebrow waxing, a facial, and several random thoughts of owning a Toyota Prius Hybrid within the past month, doesn't mean I a metrosexual! OK Sis! If you keep spreading these disasterous rumors, I'll have no choice but to summon goat head man from his chilling domain where upon he will attack you with a fury the likes of which you have never seen before.

Vulcan

2006-07-20T06:10:00.000-07:00

I look awfully happy in this picture. Sure mister Vulcan dude, you can warm your hands there. My buddy the Vulcan, I wonder what prison he's in right now.

My Keys Fell Into Another Dimension!

2006-07-19T05:35:00.000-07:00

I lost my keys back in May. We were moving, so I thought maybe I packed them up somewhere, or left them somewhere stupid in the old apartment. Rob and I looked everywhere for them. I pulled out purses I haven't used for years and checked inside them.

Yesterday, I was looking for something else. I don't remember what, but I know I never found it. I picked up my gym bag, put my hand in, and pulled out my keys. Two monthes later, I find my missing keys in a place I checked at least fifty times. The place where I ALWAYS put them, EVERY DAY! How does that happen?

A Year and Three Days

2006-07-18T18:46:00.000-07:00

Well, We've been married for a year and three days now and Neither one of us has killed the other yet. This is quite a feat, as we work together as well as living in the same house!

I don't have very many pictures of us together, so I'll substitute this one of Rob eating "The Best Steak Ever!" I still catch his sometimes, gazing off into the distance, with tears in his eyes, remembering the best day of his life. The day he cooked a steak tender enough to be cut with a plastic knife.

Our Camping Trip

2006-07-13T17:19:00.000-07:00

We're back from our camping trip! It was pretty fun. We brought the dogs with, so we decided that we should buy a new tent. We wound up getting a sixteen person monstrosity. At least it was big enough for our dogs to play in! Fang refused to poop unless it was in front of a crowd of people and Ocho was afraid of everything. We'd take them for walks around the campground, and they'd growl and fight like they hated eachother. I'm sure people thought we were raising fighting dogs! We took about 150 pictures, most of them of water or dogs being cute. I'd say Jay Cooke is one of the better state parks we've camped in.

Grillin'

If you've ever wondered what would happen if you left some brats on the grill for three hours....

Catalogs

2006-06-24T16:56:00.000-07:00

Apparently, the woman who we bought this house from really loved catalogs. We seem to get more of them then we do bills! I like to flip through them before we throw them away.

Today we got on from Jessica London. I guess they sell clothing. I was flipping through the pages and noticed that the clothes didn't look quite right. I couldn't put my finger on exactly what was wrong. When I turned back to the cover, I saw that these were fashions for sizes 14W-34W.

Every single model looked about size six.

You should see the swim suit section.

Or maybe the intimate apparel.

It just doesn't seem right. If you're going to buy something from a plus size catalog, wouldn't you want to see how it looks on a plus sized person???

Walking the Dogs

2006-06-14T05:20:00.000-07:00

I woke up early yesterday. Rob was still sleeping, so I decided to take the dogs out for a walk around the block. Have you ever tried walking two puppies at once?

First Ocho wrapped herself around my legs. Then Fang tried to trip me. Ocho decided she wanted to try and run through the neighbors yard. Fang wanted to go back to our house. Ocho saw Fang headed in the other direction and decided to chase her down and bite her. Fang got all tangled in her leash and fell down.

Once we got out of the driveway things went a little bit better. We got to the end of the block and I only had to stop to untangle the dogs thirty times! Fang got tired of walking and decided to lay down. She's small and it was only her third walk ever so I decided to pick her up so Ocho could keep going. Ocho looked back, saw me carrying Fang, said "Screw this!" and decided she was going to flop down in a freshly mowed yard. I pulled on her leash and wound up dragging her out into the street. She wouldn't get up. I had to carry her too!

When my arms got tired I put Ocho down. She jumped all over me. She refused to walk anywhere until I put Fang down. They play fought a little. Then they found a new freshly mowed lawn and they both laid down and refused to get up.

I finally got them to walk the rest of the way home. I let them in the door and unhooked Ocho's leash. When I turned around to unhook Fang I saw that she'd peed all over the floor. The little Brat held it for a half an hour because she'd rather PEE INSIDE!!!

AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

The Dogs

2006-06-11T05:11:00.000-07:00

Well, the new dogs are geting along fine. They will keep getting along fine if it kills us! This picture should give a better idea of Fang's size.

The New Addition

2006-06-09T11:44:00.000-07:00

We have a new member of our family. Right now she's scared as hell, hiding in our closet.

Her name is Fangoria, but she prefers to be called Fang. She's a vicious beast. Really. If you would have smelled her when we got her, you would say the same thing. We should have named her Ungodly Reek. She's had a bath since then.

She's a Bugg, which is a Boston Terrier/Pug mix. So far, her hobbies include hiding, shivering, and playing with Ocho in the yard. Now, maybe Ocho will leave the cats alone.

The best damn jacket ever.... In the history of the world.

2006-06-06T09:04:00.000-07:00

This is in response to Amy's blog from not too long ago. This jacket rocks more than you could possibly imagine. Not only does it have the almighty Iron Maiden "Killers" back patch sewn on the removable jean jacket vest (custom made), but once the jean jacket vest is removed, the level of supreme coolness increases ten fold by the showing of the airbrushed Danzig skull, with the name of course, for all you peons who don't know who they are. LONG LIVE METAL!! ROCK ON!! Oops, pink isn't a very METAL color. Shit, neither is forest green. I better quit while I'm ahead.....

Merry Antichristmas!!!

The Meeting

2006-06-01T05:03:00.000-07:00

We had a meeting at work today. Rob was lucky. He got to go home sick. Sure, he's miserable, but he didn't have to go to a meeting!

Every time we have one of these it's the same darn thing.

Point One: Financially, things are looking up. Not enough to give you all raises though.

Point Two: We one some awards. You guys are doing great! Not great enough to get raises though.

Point Three: Spoilages are bad. Stop screwing up. All the executives are going to get together and determine how we can get you guys to stop screwing up.

Point Four: We have some exciting new project going on. We're all very excited about the possibilities. Next time we have one of these meetings we will have a new project. You will never hear about this one again.

Yawn!

I wish I was a.........

2006-05-25T05:00:00.000-07:00

I wish I was a dog. Those are 6 words that I will hesitate to say in the future. Usually those words are spoken when referring to the fact that dogs don't have to go to work, or how all they do is sleep and eat. Well, I wish I was a dog no more. You see, the other day I was walking down the stairs to my basement. When I Got to the final step I noticed a big slimy hairball lying in the middle of the floor, coughed up by one of the cats of course. My first thought was to ignore it. You know, pretend like I didn't see it so that eventually Amy would come across it and have to clean it up, but:
A) I'm not that kind of person (Honestly!)
B) That's gross to leave a hairball on the floor
I went to get a paper towel so I could clean it up and when I returned, Ocho was in the spot where the hairball was, smacking her lips. Needless to say, the hairball was gone. That's GROSS!! Later while sitting on our porch, I noticed Ocho attempting to eat something off the ground, upon further investigation I realized that it was a dead bumble bee. So, for these reasons and others (like the whole but licking thing,) I DON'T Wish I was a dog!

Meeting the Neighbor

2006-05-24T17:20:00.000-07:00

It rained today (finally!!!) so I ecided to walk out and take a look at our garden. There's all these little sprounts coming out of the ground. Who knows, maybe they'll actually turn into veggies.

Anyway, on my way back I heard this voice coming over the fence.

"Hello!"

It was our little old neightbor lady taking her dog out for some exercise and a poo. Of course, I had to walk over and say hi.

In Rob's shoes, which I threw on because they were there and I didn't want to step in one of our dogs messes. My feet are a size seven womens and his are thirteen men.

And the white tank top I slept in. With no bra.

And chocolate all over my face. Hey, they were really good cookies!

Way to make a good impression!

Dumb Diddy Dumb?

2006-05-23T05:51:00.000-07:00

Some people might be wondering what the inspiration for the name Dumb Diddy Dumb came from. Like my sister Kathy who gained inspiration for her blog site kazoofus from my grandpa, I too drew from my grandfathers teachings in order to come up with a title for my (and Amy's) blog site name. My grandpa used to sing a variety of songs to us children, the one that always stuck with me goes as follows:
Oh she ripped and tore and she diddled on the floor and she wiped her "snif" (make a quick sniffing noise) on the knob of the door, and she piddled and diddled all over the floor DUM DIDDY DUM.
Amy, my (throat clearing noise,) better half, (where's the sarcasm font when you need it) suggested that we add the letter B behind DUM since our comments and observances on our blog site are less than genius. Well, that's the story behind that. Hope you enjoyed it.

Another Dog Sweater

2006-05-21T11:33:00.000-07:00

Glamourous, Isn't She?

This is the in demand outfit for every well dressed dog this season. In the dog fashion world black is the new black and faux fur is the new pink! Rob says he saw a doggie work out outfit that we might want to pick up. I was thinking we could accesorize with some doggie goggles.

Here's the final cat, Kitty Bean. That's right, I creatively named my cat Kitty. Rob and the dog are in this picture too.

OCHO THE DOG

Cute, isn't she? Can you believe that the cats are afraid of this? It's like being afraid of cotton candy, or a light breeze. Amy and I have 3 cats: Bean, Cleo, and Noodle, all three of them are bigger than Ocho. Hell, Noodle is about 20lbs (Ocho being 7.5lbs) he's more than double her size, all he has to do is sit on her! Maybe they're not afraid of her, it's quite possible that they're afraid of her smelly ass. This dog could clear a room faster than my dad after he takes his shoes off. The smelly ass theory doesn't work for Cleo though, She to could clear an entire football stadium when she lets one loose. As far as Bean is concerned, he's not fat or smelly, He's very skinny and fluffy. He is the typical scaredy cat I think he is acually afraid of a light breeze, but he wouldn't hesitate to eat the cotton candy. I'm tellin' ya, this cat is a pig, he can eat anything and everything and not gain a pound (kinda like me I guess.)

OCHO

Can you believe some people think this dog is ugly? Ocho is four months old today. I thought we should get her a cake (or maybe a french silk pie!), but Rob seemed to find that a little excessive.

We've finally almost, totally, completely, finished painting the living room. We still have some touching up to do on one wall, but everything else is done. I never imagined it would be that hard to cover up nasty mint green paint.
