I bought a new couch. It's pretty! It's on back order so I don't know when I'll get it. I'll be moving my current sofa into the office since it has a bed in it.
So I have a crazy neighbor and she has a lonely son. I can never decide if the neighbor just sleeps all day or if she is high when I talk to her. It seems like every time I talk to her she is half awake. Anyway her son is always really bored and lonely. He's always been scared of me though. He would always stand at my fence and stare in at me and my house but he would always run away and not speak to me when I was outside. I could have lived without the staring but as long as he didn't bother me I was fine. However! He has decided that he is no longer afraid of me. This is a problem because now he always wants to hang out with me and talk to me. It's not fun. He is six and has six year old conversation skills. I am not looking for new friends, especially six year old creepy neighbor kids. Plus, now he and his mother seem to think I want to come over for dinner all the time. I don't! I have figured out that I can tell them I am dieting and they don't put up as much of a fight when I say "no thank you". The kid reminds me of the Rick Moranis character from Ghost Busters. You know the one that stands by his door and listens for Sigorny Weaver to come into the hallway so he can talk to her. This kid is always standing at my fence peeking in when I am at home, just waiting for me to come out. And, when I am come home from work he is standing outside his fence waiting for me to come home, and he follows me when I get home. I feel bad for him, I think he is the only kid in the building. But I think his mom should enroll him in boys and girls club or something. I am trying to think of different ways to get to my door to avoid them both.
I have been swimming alot this summer. I always said I wanted a place with a pool but secretly worried that I would never use it. That's not a problem here. There is always someone that wants to go swimming and I am more than willing to accommodate. I usually swim 3-4 times a week. I love it! But I would expect to be more tan by now? I also have had the chance to see more movies than usual. That's nice, I am always disappointed when I don't get to see the movies I want to on the big screen. I have my first Kickball Game at Liberty Park this weekend if anyone wants to come check it out. It's on Thursday at 6:00 or 7:00, I'm not sure of the time yet. Liz will be taking pictures. If there are any that aren't too awful I will post them. Don't hold your breath.
My new couch.
My very well behaved kids
