Got a bit of rain this morning, it never really amounted to much. The weather is supposed to turn warmer this week. I would like Mother Nature to stay with the normal fall weather rather then the continued roller coaster stuff we've had all freaking year.

Feel the start of a cold coming on. Having been sick in a while.

Saw "Capote" over the weekend. It was good movie. A little slow in parts, but good.

Congrats to the Chicago White Sox for winning the world series in a sweep.

Some day I know the Cubs will win.

The rain past through the area again yesterday afternoon. I haven't checked the rain gauge so I don't know how much we got, but I don't think it was very much. Looks like we might get some more rain today. Cooler weather is in store for the entire week. It is a welcome visitor, I'll take it over the warmer temperatures any day.

The Chicago White Sux....I mean Sox beat the Houston Astros last night. This is Houstons first trip to the big game, the Sox haven't been in the series since 1959. Would like to see the Astros win the series.

From Wednesday afternoon until Thursday morning we got an inch of rain. I am so glad I got those bulbs planted and the trim around outside of the new door painted before the rain came.

This is Kiska. We call her Kiska, Kissy, the little Hoover, Houdini and Blondie.


Monday and Tuesday I planted bulbs. Tulips, Dutch Iris and some Asiatic Lilies bulbs were bought during the summer and shipped at the time they should be planted. The only bad thing about the company, is that they don't sell bulbs in smaller amounts. We had to over buy in order to get what we wanted. I will be happy if anything blooms next year. Other than a couple Peonies, will probably not make a big effort to bulbs ever.

We went to a used car lot on Saturday and bought a 2000 Toyota Corolla. Its a nice car. It is a dark green color with beige interior.

This morning we went to Enterprise and returned the rental car. Still have to figure out what to do with the Tracer. Will see if a charity wants it, if not might place an ad and sell it for parts.

$2,500 to fix the transmission on a eight year old car is highway robbery. Aamco must make a lot of money on suckers to stupid to know better. Well we got enough of our money taken from us by Firestone. They always found something wrong with the car that probably wasn't an issue yet. So now the car sits with the transmission in pieces in the trunk. We still have then rental car until next week. Will be looking for a cheap car we can buy, not sure how soon we will find one. Can you imagine the look on someones face if they tried to steal a car that didn't have a tranny.

Yesterday I had a migraine, watched the Lowe's guy install a new sliding glass and waited for the guy from the towing company to bring the dead car. On top of that I was waiting to see if the mail had any packages for me.

This has been quite a week.

It was cooler today then it was Monday. In fact there is a frost advisory for the evening. It snowed in I think Wyoming, Montana and Colorado. We go from 88 degrees Monday to 58 Thursday. There was rain in the forecast for a couple days but nothing happened. It's supposed to be cool and sunny for the weekend.

Will be taking the car to Aamco to have the transmission looked at tomorrow afternoon. Don't think its anything major, but I've been wrong before and I could be wrong now.

Kiska doesn't know what to make of spaghetti, but she seems to like a little rice mixed with peas and mushroom soup. Oh she seems to like leftover lasagna from the night before. Sergei loves the dry dog food so much that he wont eat the canned or leftovers for more then a few bites. If I start mixing the dry dog food up, combination of Iams puppy food, Beneful adult food along with Beneful puppy food, he heads over to the dry dog food bowls and waits for me to come out with it. I usually don't like to mix foods like that way but its the only way Kiska will eat her puppy food.
