We got new neighbors!
It's been almost a year I think since the bad bad people moved out. I have enjoyed every second of no one living next door! It makes walking Kraymer much easier. I went over to the new people's house last night and introduced myself. I wanted to talk to them about the dog situation since I know my Kraymer and I saw they have a dog. I was hoping to invite them over with their dog so Kraymer would know and love them and their dog, therefore we could avoid debacles in the hallway involving big snarling dogs. Alas the new neighbor used to live across the street and knows our dogs. She immediately said "Oh my dog HATES your dogs!". I was like oh. Not good. She has a rottie and I have seen her trying to control her dog while I try to control Kraymer when we are anywhere near each other - it's CRAZY! So we briefly discussed that we would avoid each other when we are out with the dogs - and watch for each other to avoid confrontations... It sucks but at least we have an understanding! I told her as I left that I hoped we could be friends even though our dogs wouldn't be. haha
They are a young couple, chef's is what she said. She seemed really nice so aside from the dog problem I don't think I will have to worry about them trashing the place and finding their screen door on my porch and little kids running around the halls! Gawd those last neighbors were the worst. Can I tell you how much I want to move away from condo life? If only for Kraymers sake.
I found out on Sunday that my best childhood friend is preggers. *sigh* While I went through the rigamoro of saying congrats and how happy I was for her I kinda felt like "Crap. Another one bites the dust." I used to say that about marriage but have since given up on that and moved on and currently apply it to babies.
I have been setting up a bar crawl in Bingo (hometown) and have been working on reuniting with so many people I haven't seen in a long time - and now she won't be able to participate. Big time bummer.
Later that day I got another phone call from my old friend M saying his wife was pregnant. 2 in one day??? WTF MATE??? So I pulled the same act for him while inside I just felt like I am A) missing the want to be a mother gene and B) losing more and more friends that have freedom to travel and go out etc. etc. etc. I then realized that was selfish of me and tried to turn that thinking around. It's only partially worked.
This morning I awoke to sounds of scraping. My window faces the parking lot and MAN there was a lot of scraping going on! I tried to walk Kraymer out front but there was ice everywhere (and some people) so I decided my best way to succeed was to walk him out back where the ice/snow mix would be a little more stable.
I started my car after I walked him in the hopes that the half inch (no lie!) of ice covering my car would melt a little bit so I could scrape the rest off... R did the same. R was leaving before me so I asked him if he could text me to let me know how the roads were. About 15 minutes later I hadn't heard from him (and I am a worry wart!) so I looked out my window to see him scraping my car off. WHAT A GUY!!! That seriously warmed my heart. I remember - geez - about 10 years ago! - A friend of mine was married and she said her hubby scraped her car off for her in the morning's. I was like wow, that would be ideal! And now here I have a man that will scrape off my car without my asking or anything. *love him*
I apologize for the novel. Happy Wednesday people!!!
