Cloudy Water and Other updates

After weeks of chemicals this is what I have...

Cloudy Water. I used the last of the clarifier and muriatic acid last night and still no clear water. It is frustrating to say the least.

Found my wedding band, after looking through the vacuum cleaner bag, trash, and looking through the house for 2 weeks. Mary Margaret found it last night while dusting the bookshelves. BTW she's dusted this same shelf twice since the ring has been lost. Housework is part of her grounding. So now attack me for using her for child labor. I also make her vacuum the whole house, wash dishes, wash clothes, fold clothes, and backwash the pool. Go Ahead...I'm ready.

Taylor is still trying to figure out how she can become a contestant on every single games show and reality show that she sees. She is writing down every product she sees on the infomericals so that I can spend my life savings on them, which isn't much by the way.

Pepper, the cat, has finally gotten used to Freckles, the dog. She no longer gets spastic when he comes near. Last night I sat on the deck and enjoyed listening to the crickets and frogs, Pepper jumps up in my lap and Freckles sits at my feet with his nose just inches from Pepper. Pepper looks up at me with that look "this is so boring, does he really think he's cute? I'm the one with all the looks" and then she flicked her claws out and tapped his nose and off he went to the other side of the deck. Pepper was pretty smug after that.

The step-dad of Mary Margarets, now ex-boyfriend, called me last night to apologize for all the text messages. I explained to him what went down and about that question his son asked MM. He apologized and said he would get to the bottom of things and that by the end of the evening his son would understand that Mary Margaret is in trouble, grounded and to leave her alone.

Nicole is coming down with Alyssa this weekend. I'm excited! Hopefully Saturday will be a funeral home free day!!!!
