1. New owner of four brand new tires. Now I feel safer making plans to drive to Minneapolis. I was sitting outside the Firestone place when some guy in a low-rider pulls up and offers me a CD of his band’s music. “Is it like what you’re listening to right now?” At his nod I decline his offer politely, “Sorry dude, that’s not my kind of music, thanks.” AND HE GIVE ME A NOISE AND A DIRTY LOOK! Seriously? Do I look like your demographic? Sure, this middle-aged chunky white woman just loooooooves hip-hop. Save your CD for someone who gives a shit.

2. I love trees. Trees are what make summers in Arizona bearable. I wish people were better at trimming where they overhang walk areas. The other problem with trees is birds. Bird shit to be more specific. You really take your chances when you park under a tree so your car won’t burn you.

3. I put my 60-day notice to move. I don’t have a clue where I’m moving to, but I need to get out of here. A two-bedroom apartment is too much strain on my budget, leaving me with nothing extra. Spent a few hours on craigslist and rental sites yesterday looking for a decent studio but no luck so far. A converted garage or MIL apartment would be perfect. I just need a home base for when I’m NOT traveling.

And why am I always so sure travelling should have two ls?
