Don’t get used to this many posts in a row! I am still
trying to catch up from deserting this for months! (and my week has been busy
and I want to crash so the more I can get done pre-weekend the happier I’ll be)
This is me being proactive instead of being a procrastinator. Weird isn’t it?
I love where I live. It’s really conveniently located to all
sorts of restaurants, shopping, downtown is a straight shot, and the airport is
12 minutes away (yes I timed it) BUT it feels like its in the country. There is
a neighbor right by the yard with the pool (and Im not sure if you guys
remember their dogs that yap constantly. I haven’t silenced them yet….) but
other than that I cant see neighbors. I love it… in the daylight. At night I am
much more leery. Once I came home to a raccoon standing in between me and the
front porch. Thankfully it didn’t like me and SCALED THE FENCE to get out.
SCALED. Argh. This morning was almost worst. If I see one of the bear sized
raccoons I just kinda watch it and go about my business. This morning though I
didn’t see anything moving. I just heard it. I just heard that creepy rustling
of leaves in the side yard and the scurry of paws on the porch behind me. You
all are most likely rolling your eyes and saying it was just the breeze. NO!
There is a difference between leaves being gently rustled by the wind and BEING
TRAMPLED BY PAWS. Maybe now I see the gun appeal…. ;)
The war Pool vs. Anna has officially begun. There are a
large tree worth of leaves in that pool. I go skim them out each night (while
attempting to ignore the yappy dogs). Im losing the battle right now. I am so
OCD when it comes to pool. I carefully skim each and every leaf off the surface
of the pool (the bottom is atrocious…). I then put the skimmer away, turn
around see three BRAND NEW leaves happily floating along. ARGH. It happens everytime.
Its so frustrating but then again Im outside in a tee shirt and sweats,
cleaning out a pool… not shoveling 5 feet of snow and having the plow drive by
right after. So… cant really complain!
I have started the Day One journal post thing. Im on the fence
about it so we shall see how long it lasts. The sad part is that it took me 2
days to figure out how to publish a post. I need Jessi in my life more! She
knows all of that cool stuff! I am going to do it for a bit just because it
took me so long to figure out.
I want to do this so badly. I want to hurl myself down a
track of pure ice, face first. Even if I don’t make the team (I mean come on…
probably wont) I want the chance to try it. I keep saying that I am going to go
take the test… maybe I should work at it and just do it. You only live once
right? The only thing I have going for me is that I am (or used to be) fast so
the sprints wouldn’t be that bad. Right?
Jury duty….. Not sure how to sum that up. I learned a lot
and it was really interesting. (and nice to get out of work for a week!) It was
a murder so I felt like I was in a Law and Order episode complete with a
medical examiner (who I saw in Target the next day), CSI people, detectives,
police, and a weapon. It stills needs a post of its own.. so perhaps next time.
Lucy is going to the doctor today. She has TWO recalls out
for her since… forever ago. I think the first one was right when I got down
here. Oops. I have finally found doctors for me here as well. I have been a
slacker on that front. Next is finding a dentist and then I think I will be all
settled here. Oh dear… does that make me a Texan?
Sorry that this was boring. Falling asleep in my cube isn’t really
helping. I hope you all have a great weekend. I don’t have any major plans
which is actually nice. I need those kind of weekends sometime. I do have a
date… with Laurie! (on the phone) I am so excited!!!
P.S My photo is from my first ever NBA game (the Spurs). I had NO idea who/what the Spurs were before coming down here. Now I can name... two players and that is only because my favorite co-worker has two cute boys Duncan and Parker. Anyways... it was fun. I like the atmosphere. I still dont love basketball but going to a game a fun! It is hard to find a picture for my posts when Im not living in Britain/Rome!
