home for the summer

Well, it has finally warmed up to 45-50 degrees. I wore shorts and a t-shirt last Tuesday. It was still a little chilly but it was nice to not have to wear a coat and long pants.
I had an interesting encounter with our neighbors from hell last week. To make a long story short, they put there trashcan right in front of our side of the garage so we can’t get into our car without hitting it. I moved it 3 feet way to the side of the garage (still on our side) and then they moved it back. This went on for about 4 days until I get a pounding at the door from a crazy white man with dread locks who tells me to stop touching his f%$#ing trashcan. We exchanged words and then he ended by walking a way telling me to get a job. I told him I went to school so I could get a job. I was then informed that “you ain’t need no schoolin to get an F#$*ing job.” Obviously I have been lied to my whole life for if I only knew that I could speak without paying $100,000 for school, I would be at home in Texas working at the nearest Cracker Barrel driving a Ford pinto.
I called my land lord and told him that I was making my final complaint (complaint #1-4 consisted of noise issues, trash in our back yard, leaving the garage door open, and dog poo on my doorstep) and that if it didn’t get resolved he would be finding me a new place to live.
I hope things will get better so we won’t have to move until our lease is up but we will see if the landlord will even do anything about it. That is life though so we will just have to get use to it.
On a brighter note, we are coming home for summer!!! Yea!!! We will be in town on the 17th and leave on the 24th. I will not be ready for the hot but I would like to go swimming. They don’t swim up here. The water never gets hot enough. Anna is making a list of everything we must do while in town and #1 is EAT AT ON THE BOARDER. Everything after that is up to her.
