We Need To Talk

Can I just talk about this photo for a minute? I mean, really.

I walked out onto the back porch Saturday morning and saw this. Actually, his ass was pointed at me, but as soon as he heard me shut the door, he turned around and stared me down. 

Really? We have a bull in our back yard? I knew we were classified as 'rural' and all but this is almost too much like where I grew up (which I've been trying to get away from since before I got there). 

Anyway. 

Apparently the only people that can find us on their GPS is Papa John's. I know, right?

We're too far out in the boonies to get our cable/internet of choice. 

We're too far out to get a mailbox key made within a decent amount of time.

We're too far out for the Sears delivery guys to find us.

Honestly. If I would have known this would be the case when living in a newer house, I wonder if we would have jumped into this place so quickly. Probably so.

For the record, we aren't that far out. There are toll roads all around us, and we're only 4 minutes from our old apartment. 

I feel like I should be churning my own butter or something though. 

New Construction =

Bugs! Scorpions! 

Honestly. I've had to get back into the habit of shaking out towels, shoes, sheets, and clothes. Otherwise? I could potentially have a scorpion crawl down the side of my face like that one time. 

Oh, I haven't told you that story? Well. 

My brother and I found this hanging around our place on Friday night-

My brother took care of it.

Thank goodness that my brother was around. Since C is back to working nights, I probably would have just left if I would have had to take care of it.

While I was watering the yard on Saturday morning, I found this-

At least that one was outside though.

Alright, I'm off to shake out my shoes now...

Hai!

I'm at a washateria. Ew. I mean, okay we need clean clothes and all. And this place isn't grody or anything (free wifi!), but I can count on one hand finger how many times I've been to one. 

We moved into our new place on the 15th. 

I love it.

Except for the washer and dryer part. We bought a set literally the day we moved in. Of course it couldn't be delivered until this coming Thursday. That means nearly two weeks without having a way to wash anything. Hence, why we had to come to a washateria. 

So that's annoying.

Actually, there are quiet a few things that are annoying about our new place. Like? The fact that it's so new that no one provides internet or cable to the area yet. And the fact that we couldn't pick up our mailbox key on the day we were told because it hadn't been made yet, because? Wait for it...the place is too new.

So I don't have internet...for who knows how long. 

I don't mind though. I love shiny new things. Like my kitchen.

It's so cute. And way bigger than one I've ever had before? I have to show you guys the pantry. For real. I have empty shelves in there. Unheard of!

Maybe I'll show a house tour sometime. I've got better photos on my big camera. Of course.

For now though, I just wanted to pop in and tell ya that I'm still alive!
