1) The trash guys are jerks… I leave them the old carpet (small room’s worth – maybe 8 x 12) out next to the trash can, just as prescribed in the handy-dandy-trash-hauling-agreement, and waited for their arrival. Just looked out the window, and what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a carpet, the underlayment and eight tiny reindeer, still sitting there at the end of my driveway. Other trash? Gone. Arrgh. Did I mention that they doubled the hauling fee last month, too? Anyone for spiking the trash with dog doo this time? The yard’s in need of cleaning…

2) In the Suzie Homemaker department, I’m Pergo-ing the breakfast room floor (former home of the aforementioned carpet) and found some plums & pears on a great sale yesterday, so will be doing some canning.

Update on #1 – the trash company called, and said the trash guy “couldn’t handle” the carpet b/c it was “too big for him by himself” – I’m sorry, but guess who carried the carpet from the house, out the back door, through the garage, and down the 75 foot driveway by herself? Without even pulling a muscle! And it’s too heavy for him to carry 5 feet to his truck and chuck in the back? It’s really not that heavy – I think they were just being lazy. The guy on the phone said to cut it into 4 foot pieces. Yeah right. Whatever.
