Battery Failure

Wouldn't you know it? When Typepad is being fast..my battery is dead! I can't show you the 'Golden Tumbleweeds of Hair' that I am about to clean up! Granted, I do a great job at housecleaning, but if I go over my three day limit with this Golden...since we live with our windows open with small fans placed just right to blow in the cooler air actual long hair that comes off of her...rolls up into tight little rolls along the carpet looking either like tumbleweeds or those  rolled hay-bales you see out West! It's actually kind of humorous! 

There is some hot weather on the way, so my husband got the approval to get a window AC unit. I think it was very courageous of a young lady from our Navy housing to call Channel 10 news and let them feel what it felt like in our houses during that heat wave!!!....the pressure was on for the civilian company that manages our housing to lift the rule that AC units are only allowed if you have an Exceptional Family Member (medical and authorized in person's service record.....which requires future orders to be only to places that have the proper medical facilities, etc....as I understand it)  90 degrees in a house isn't healthy for ANYONE let alone people who do indeed have medical problem!  I didn't even THINK of calling the news! Kudos to her for getting something done about this! Now, it's the issue of being able to actually find one in the stores!

Why not go on some of the crafty blogs and learn how to spin Golden hair?

Hey did the news guys actually come and visit you? Wow! It's good to see that someone there was willing to stand up for our service members and their families. So, when do you get the AC?

We have golden tumbleweeds too! Doesn't matter how much we brush or how often we vacuum: I think the fairies leave them.
