Waiting for the Doctors to set a date on replacing my hip, they have been doing other tests,and now it is http://kickingsquirrelbutt.blogspot.com/2012/12/as-i-didnt-really-take-many-pictures.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Pyewacketcat)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37465910.post-6301293759260128592Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:12:00 +00002012-02-03T05:25:37.245-06:00I have been in touch with someone named Greg at TXU lately, over my last 3 bills , those being the winter months.Or what we have had for a winter, more a joke, but my bills have been no joke... as high or higher than the last years that were record setting. WTH???Now I write and ask them about this,and all he does is send me the stats on the last two years and this years rates and price.

But as the season is on it's way out, I am thinking about starting some seeds in the greenhouse already... Due to the economic downturn and all, I need to learn to grow as much of my food as I can. And if I could grow a new hip, that would be the best. I hope to have a new one by the end of this year... more on that to come.I worked in http://kickingsquirrelbutt.blogspot.com/2012/01/winter-has-been-joke-not-much-coldand.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Pyewacketcat)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37465910.post-7380240231853657004Thu, 22 Sep 2011 01:42:00 +00002011-09-21T21:06:42.851-05:00We made it through the summer,well, some of my plants did, and I suppose I can say at least I don't have to worry about the greenhouse being overcrowded this winter.And it saved on my water bill....... I don't care,I wanted those damn things to grow.Now fall is on it way,and the days are getting cooler,my bff from Alaska was here for 2 days,she was down working the Bastrop fires,and got to come http://kickingsquirrelbutt.blogspot.com/2011/09/fall-is-coming.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Pyewacketcat)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37465910.post-7714615472184499348Tue, 17 May 2011 18:08:00 +00002011-05-17T13:17:51.196-05:00I can't believe that the weather is staying so cool here lately, I am actually using a light quilt on the bed, so you know that means I am cold at night. It's nice ,compared to the 100 degrees we will soon enough have, so I am not complaining, just awestruck. It is making the tomatoes slower to grow,I have them in the hanging things,and for the first year they are working.

And of course Sallie had to tear a screen out,and then Baxter had to leave through it,but he came back yowling because he evidently doesn't like wet paws,so haha to him I say. The bugger spent one night out,and I spent it going back and forth from the bed to the back door calling him all. night. long.So, I don't have to lose sleep this time, nor do I have to water anything.http://kickingsquirrelbutt.blogspot.com/2011/05/it-is-finally-raining-and-of-course.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Pyewacketcat)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37465910.post-4916460292466903390Tue, 22 Feb 2011 17:07:00 +00002011-02-22T11:24:23.212-06:00It's finally getting close to spring, and at the shop we have been crazy busy.... people walking in and asking if we can do their dog,and getting mad when we say we are booked up, and we can do it tomorrow or another day... we work 10 to 12 hours a day,and try to get them all done as we can,but sometimes it is enough to make you want to tell them, your lack of planning doesn't constitute an http://kickingsquirrelbutt.blogspot.com/2011/02/its-finally-getting-close-to-spring-and.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Pyewacketcat)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37465910.post-2854654681324377911Sat, 29 Jan 2011 11:23:00 +00002011-01-29T05:44:18.187-06:00I saw this on a blog and thought, what a great idea.LOLSometimes the most basic thoughts are the best.....and by the way,I can use the hint myself... a few,(15) lbs over the holidays have kept me out of my favorite jeans, so it's back to salads and Subway...

I have now ordered 2 grooming tables,and today the 2nd one arrived,the 1st one being dented to the point it wasn't an option for me to keep.2 UPS uys came in,and I made the remark,or joke,that it didn't have a big gash in the box,and that was a good sign...http://kickingsquirrelbutt.blogspot.com/2010/07/ups-needs-help.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Pyewacketcat)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37465910.post-3079019953360836017Mon, 19 Jul 2010 03:02:00 +00002010-07-18T22:22:08.224-05:00I found this and want to share,it is something I believe too.My dogs and cats teach me in ways only pet people will understand... and I love them for it.http://kickingsquirrelbutt.blogspot.com/2010/07/sweet-little-video.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Pyewacketcat)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37465910.post-5021092815767831454Sun, 11 Jul 2010 15:43:00 +00002010-07-11T11:04:44.430-05:00Well ,the rain is over for a while,and I'm getting a few tomatoes,patios and cherry types.I'll deal with the steamy heat,it could be worse,but I'd really appreciate some 80 degree weather the rest of the summer,oh wait,I'm in Texas.

Maybe my body was telling me something,or maybe I was just fed up with the mess,the cost and the smell of it all.... the house is smelling better,at least now I can smell more, but not as good as others I know, one young woman I know,who used to smoke,can smell something she http://kickingsquirrelbutt.blogspot.com/2010/04/waiting-for-upside.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Pyewacketcat)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37465910.post-5454638491364099597Wed, 21 Apr 2010 04:01:00 +00002010-04-20T23:32:00.174-05:00Someone give me an idea of what wearing this would feel like.... because I seriously doubt there is enough money in the world to get me to wear them.
