Crissy's Got A Gun...

That's right...my very own bb gun. You see in the morning when I go out to feed the cats and Hendrix walks toward the front door for his breakfast these nasty, loud, ugly birds swoop down and peck at him. So much so that he's got permanent fur loss and scars. So I finally broke down and bought a little gun to solve the problem. You should've seen Elena and I in the front yard just now taking target practice with beer cans in the tree. We're regular rednecks!! Anyway, we called Hendy out as bait and here came the birds. I got a pretty good shot at one of them. But the neighbors kids were out playing so we had to call it a night. I don't think it's good for them to see.

I'll be busting them up in the morning though, you better believe it. I love my gun.

Besides that I've been working a lot which is HOT!! My goodness is it hot in that damn truck. My parents were just on ANOTHER cruise so we had Buddy to watch. Also one night we had all 3 kids too. Brian and Laura wanted to go out with some friends so we watched the kids. 2 funny Angelina stories. First, Elena and I both have little pig shaped piggy banks. You know little ceramic banks. My nephew gave me mine so I won't get rid of it and I don't know where EJ got hers. But anyway, Angelina was playing with Elena's and she set it on the arm of the sofa. Yes, you know where this is going, it fell off. Smash on the wood floors into about 250 million little pieces. She immediately starts crying because she thinks she's going to jail or something. So I tell her no biggie just stay where you are so we can sweep it up, etc. So the crying finally stops and Elena and I are cleaning up the mess and Angelina says, "Aunt Crissy, at least it wasn't your pig, right?" Ha ha ha

I laughed so hard she must've said it four more times. She is so funny. She's a screamer and a little hard to please but very funny. Second thing--my parents in addition to the dog have a love bird. Of course the bird can pretty much fend for himslef for just 5 days so no need to transport him up here. So when Angelina asked why I was watching Buddy, etc. I explained it to her. Then she asked well who's watching Sweet Pea. So I tell her that really the bird is okay for just a few days, he has enough seed. And she replies, "Yea, Sweet Pea has his own life." Hee hee hee

So now we are back to our normal life, no dogs, no kids and that's how we like it. For now. If we didn't have 5 cats we'd probably have a dog(and maybe a kid). :-)

See y'all at the 4th. I'll bring my weapon. JK :-)
