The BOMB

Welcome to the BOMB.



The Blog Of the "Mother" of Bandit.
Bandit is my Hairless Chinese Crested--he's the "normal" one. I, on the other hand, am unrepentantly "pet-crazy." You know the type--the spinster who lives in the haunted house three blocks over with 72 cats...okay, so I don't have 72 cats, and my house isn't haunted--but my dogs wardrobe is better than mine! Need I say more? :~)
I've never been consistant at journaling, so the timing of my blogs will be sporadic at best. I just hope they are as entertaining to you as they are to me; however, be forewarned: Most of my blogs will be about The BaldOne. In spite of his Don King "do," I think he's just as cute as any of the Brothers B!
Now, if I can just remember not to get him wet--or feed him after midnight...

About Me

My photo
My bags are packed and I'm always ready to seek out an adventure with Bandit and Moggy in tow. Bandit is my thirteen year old Chinese Crested, who I frequently call The Bald One or The BaldOne Boy (like he was one of the Baldwin Brothers). Moggy’s full name is Pip-Moggy. He’s my two year old gansta-resuce kitty. I couldn’t decide between Pip (which are the spots on die and domino tiles) and Moggy (or Moggie when I mistakenly thought he was a she), so I combined the two. Moggy refers to the British term for "cat of unknown parentage .” So in essence, I have an almost bald dog, and I’ve named my cat “Spot.”

My Honeymoon With Chip and Joanna Gaines

From the first episode of HGTVs "Fixer Upper" I have adored Chip and Joanna Gaines. Her style sense is impeccable and his nonsense antics keep me in stitches. I admire their use of local businesses. And the fact that they include their kids in their daily routine whenever possible warms my heart  Basically,  in my eyes they can do no wrong. (I know that's not true, but years later, despite tabloid reports I'm still in my honeymoon stage with them.)

However, the other morning during "Good Morning Texas" on KXXV, an ABC affiliate broadcasting from their hometown of  Waco Texas,  they aired a segment that showed the couple in a new light.

The segment started off talking about a new phase of the never ending I-35 expansion project. This is the project whose billboard signs have brought me close to peeing on myself because I laughed so hard when I read, "You're gonna love us when we're through." As if that will ever happen in my lifetime.

The news segment went on to discuss  the many years, of adjusting and accommodating that has been required of many groups and individuals that utilize I-35.

The Reporter stated the newest group to be effected is The Church Under The Bridge. They have been meeting under I-35 for the past 25 years. The Pastor and congregation knew the day would come when they would have to relocate--at least for the several year process to upgrade their current location.

The congregation is not stressing over the upcoming move, in part because their new home away from home has already been decided.  It is a quiet and beautiful location-- but what else would you expect from Chip and Joanna Gaines--who have offered the lawn of their Magnolia Silos complex in downtown Waco.

The gracious offer of help Chip and Joanna have extended to this church endears them to me even more. The  honeymoon continues.
