I'll show you crazy

well, not really. But I can act like it that is for sure.
Long stories short over the last week-ish.
Took all pets to vet, 4 cats, 1 giant dog. Obviously, this did not work, but like I've said I will always try. Half way into the drive to the vet the dog managed to bite her way out of the METAL crate to get out and was flipping Georges (skiddish cat) crate around trying to get to him, what he did to piss her off I do not know. But I almost crashed trying to stop her. Barely made it to vets before losing my mind or one of the cats. Ended up having to call a friend to come pick up Pebbles (giant dog) and drive her home for me.
Needless to say, she did not make the trip up to ND.
She's currently with another foster in Los Angeles and I'm trying to work with Ace of Hearts to try and figure out a way to get her up here to be with me ASAP... based on rate of returned phone calls, I'm not holding my breath.
Got some cats beds and am going back today to visit the cats again. I miss them bunches
A hired "movers" to help lug stuff around to apartment and to storage unit. Based on my previous experience with movers I was apprehensive to say the least. However, to my shock and great delight, they rocked! They stuck to their original quote and were totally cool... must be due to the fact that they are from Long Beach CA!!! Nicest guys and since they didn't try to add on a bunch of extra charges they were paid for 4 hours instead of the 3:15 they were charging for, seriously they rocked!
Dad was here with us for the first few days. Total blessing. We had to drive to Fargo to drop off the moving truck so we figured we'd find somewhere to shop there as well... Went to a place called farm and fleet... And I moo-ed walking through the place. Cause I'm okay with being fat, I know I am, you know I am... why not have some fun with it?!? Not like I plan on being fat forever. Anyways. We're shopping for BASE LAYER clothing, something I've never even had to think of and yet now I need. Let me tell you since I bought them, haven't been outside without them on! It's cold! Borders on freezing most days up here. However, my hair looks FANTASTIC! ;-)
Dad even helped me find some boots and when we got the register. HE PAID! Totally bought me all me need to have stuff. I love my dad. I don't count on it but I know in the back of my head, when its something I need, he's got my back (and apparently now my butt) covered.
Dad left the other day, I totally cried. It sucked, so I went to visit the cats to cheer myself up. Nice peeps working at the kennel place too.
Further proving my theory that the nicest people I've met, all Non-ND born. Not a single person I've met from "out of state" has been mean, rude, snotty, or otherwise terrible. They've all been awesome.
Can't really say that about the ND natives, they've been pretty crabby. Dude at Men's Warehouse was pretty nice, but made it clear that he didn't "appreciate" all "these people" coming in and "changing" the landscape. I get it, no one likes the frakking. But according to your commercials, your economy DOES. "Oil Can" is the big slogan here that I've noticed so far
A came home early yesterday, he was going to be out on the boarder of Montana until Saturday. But thanks to some giant storm coming in he came home late last night. And everyone at Walmart keeps talking about prepping for the storm.... and I'm over here like "where's the pancake mix?" Will let you all know what's going on with that. It's cold and a little cloudy but thats about it. OH did I mention? NO MOUNTAINS!!! FLAT LAND AS FAR AS YOU CAN SEE... and with no smog, it's pretty far... but NOTHING for landscape. I've lost my sense of direction and am constantly turned around. The only good part so far on that note is that gas is so cheap and this "city" is so small that I can let myself get lost to try to find my way back and all the little shortcuts and what not.... and it doesn't kill my bank account. Drove around for almost 2 hours yesterday just trying to get a feel for the layout here.... cost me less than $6...
More to come later. Will try to update with pics on "STORM"... oh look... it's snowing...
