Roommates

This time of year I get to thinking about all of the roommates that I have had and I am extra grateful for all the people who have change my life in unexpected ways. Some of my best friends were once my roommates and for the most part those are the people that I still keep in contact with.

The other day as I was sitting in my chair, covered with a blanket, not feeling well, and watching Monk, my mom called me and asked me if I would consider getting some roommates. I told her that I would definitely have to meet them first to see if they could come and live with me. She told me that arrangements could be made.

Yesterday I went and met a set of sisters and we got along so well that they are now my new roommates....




In case you were wondering, yes I am a sucker for a really cute face, they are sisters, and I have not named them yet...any ideas?

News

I have two bits of news today.

1. I found my camera cord, so now you will be over-loaded with posts from this year...that's right, the posts will cover January until August...make time.

2. I ate pudding today and under the lid was an amazing surprise.

THE PRINGLES MAN!!!

Life is amazing...

Some news.

A disclaimer: I have not told anyone this, so you may not be offended because I did not call and tell you personally.

The news: I bought a house. In Alaska. You may come visit any time. Pictures will be posted after I close on the 31st.

On a different note: I will post pictures of all my vacations when I have a chance and find the cord to download all my photos onto the computer. Please be patient.

Ahhhhh...

Summer is here. I am currently looking for a lounge chair to put on the deck, a good book, and some sun screen...and yes, I signed a contract for next year.

My experience at the grocery store.

So I just got back from the grocery store where I was picking up some strawberries, bananas, and milk with my dad. The following is a true story, and all conversation is completely accurate.

The scene: We are checking out and there is not a bagger, so rather than wait, I start to bag my own groceries.

The characters: Me, my dad, the bag boy (we will call him BB for short)

BB: Uh, ma'am I can do that for you.
Me: I think I just finished, thanks
BB: Oh, uh...you wanna job?
Me: I am already employed, but thanks
BB: Well this job has benefits
Me: I am a teacher
BB: OH. Where do you teach?
Dad: (the name of the school was given here, but shall not be shared.)
BB: Spanish?
Me: uh-huh.
BB: I need help with my spanish....

At this point I felt it was time to leave. I think I just got hit on by a bag boy who could not have been more than 17...

To all former roommates

Please come up to Alaska. I miss you.
