New Galleries

Found a bunch of pictures that Harold had on his pc that I didn’t have.  Most of them of the cats in Florida.  =)

Finally got them done up and uploaded to the server.

Here is the page that they are one :  http://www.paulineantoinette.com/our-cats/

Work, Work

This has been a rough week work wise.  I had payroll on the 1st, so that means a day or so before I start prepping it.  No big deal.  But processing them this time around seemed like a cluster frak….getting out all the email notices was just rougher then normal.  Then I discovered while getting emails out that I missed about 10 people to pay….some how skipped over them while totaling.  Which made it much more annoying.

It didn’t help that I was just irritated as heck….it is that time again.  =(  Damn, I was so happy to have all the company books done last night and then I actually had time to do ours.  =)

Today was one were I did some work, but not very much.  Mainly because I had a bunch of errands to do and that just makes it pain to try and start something.  So this evening I’ve been chilling and working on some personal things.  Feels nice to be doing that for once after the last few days.  =)

We are suppose to get a stunning weekend weather wise.  I’m so looking forward to it, not that we are going anywhere.  But I’m looking forward to some sunshine and not being chilled. I would like for us to get some things done outside and we are thinking of attacking the garage.  Maybe do one on Saturday and other on Sunday.

I did good at the gym treadmill wise, I’m up to 3.37mile in 30min.  We only really did 1 day of 90min.  Some of the other days went over 60, but not by much.  I have been trying to increase my number of reps.  But I can’t seem to get the soreness that you want to get this week.  Which is disappointing.  I’m tired and feel like I can’t do much more while at the gym, but give me a few hours and I don’t have the soreness.  =(  Need to figure that out next week.

We will be more then likely missing a few days of the gym next week.  Debating on going for a hike Monday and then heading up to Canada to visit Tues.  Can’t wait to see everyone, just not looking forward to the drive up.

Our oldest cat has been worrying me on and off.  Alexis has always been a “talker”, but she has been louder then usual and doing it in the middle of the night for no reason that we can see.  Her fur seemed a little off to me also.  Well, she was due for her follow up on her thyroid so we addressed that at the vet.  So far none of the tests show anything, her thyroid is back to normal, no urinary tract infection….but she was dehydrated, which seems odd because she has a fetish for water.  But the vet said that the water may not be getting absorbed.  So they gave her an IV of fluids and she seems a little better.  They want to see her in a few months.

But that is what has been going on in my world.  =)  Since I’m currently waiting on things to upload to the server, I’m going to put away some laundry.

Is Oregon anti-doorbell?

Mt_Hood

I know this is a really odd question, but since we moved to Oregon 18 months or so ago we have missed deliveries, neighbors and friends who have told us “We stopped by, but you didn’t answer when we knocked” and my first question is always “Did you ring the doorbell?” and so far 100% have said no.

WHY?

This is something that happens very often, so often that we are stunned that no one has used our doorbell even though it works and is lit up at night so there is no way anyone can miss it and yet, I can count on one hand the number of times our doorbell has been rung in the 18+ months we lived in the area both here and our first home.

We have a good sized house and we spend the vast majority of time in the office which is on the other side of the house so even when we don’t have the TV or music on, it is still impossible to hear someone knocking on a door.

So can someone give us an idea of why Oregonian’s have a phobia of doorbells?
