https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5270/Seems I am finding myself in a lot of first-time situations... Spontaneous as I may be, I was less than prepared for my week ahead...hourly12000-01-01T12:00+00:00https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5270/93780Will House-Sit for food, for shelter, HECK! I'll do it just so I don't have to live at home with my parents for a few days... At least then I might get some sanity back! I think I might be retiring this blog soon, unless any of you can think of any reasons why I should not... I guess I will keep...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5270/90051Now that it's over, I won't be able to continue this blog until I find a new place to watch over...

The little dog "Botie" would not cease to lick, lick, lick and lick some more. I finally shoed him away from my face, but then I had to listen to him lick himself. Ugh. All I wanted was a few measly hours of sleep. And by the time that subsided and I...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5270/86188Yeah they are pretty outrageous. Don't know whether I'd rather listen to the Wildlife clock with the lions and zebras and hippos, or the M&M clock with their loud babbling... Personally, I'd rather have a power-outage so I could sleep through the night in peace, and heck, maybe even sleep a few...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/DancesWithWords5270/85867Maybe I should have seen it coming when my colleague asked me at the absolute last minute to watch over the house while he and his wife went out of state on personal emergency.
