Wheels on the Bus

On the urging of my best friend, it’s time to blog.

Let’s see about where to start. How about 4th of July in Destin. It was really wonderful. It was just the right amount of time away. The weather was great, the food fabulous and the company was all good. Some blips, a kind of crazy cousin, jelly fish in the water, too much corn!

News from Lee … he’s still using and now has checked himself into a detox place.

I’m getting a roommate. Her name is Melissa. I felt as if I was in a competition and won. She came to the house twice to look it (and probably me) over. She’s moving in on Saturday. That will be extraordinarily helpful monetarily.

The fan in my car has been making a racket and I took it to the Mini Cooper place to have the mechanic take a look. Luckily, this mechanic dates a friend of mine and has been very helpful on other things wrong with my car. The bad news is it is the compressor, the good news is he found a compressor that just needed something that mine already had. I don’t quite understand what is going to happen except it’s going to be FREE!! I plan on taking him and his girlfriend, Denise, out for a really nice dinner.

I road the bus to work today. I felt very “green.”

My question to ponder: When Brad and Penny were married I seldom, if ever, talked to either of them. Now they’re divorced and I hear from both pretty frequently. Wonder who stopped the communication when they were together?

Destin

I just returned from visiting my brother in Florida. My best friend, her fiance and I drove. It was a 12 hour drive. We played Taboo on the way there and for the most part drove in silence on the way home. I slept, the best friend slept and listened to her Ipod and the fiance drove. It was very nice. We ate lots of seafood while in Destin, went to the beach on the 4th of July (all day), visited, said some very nice words for my father.

I was really glad to get home. My dogs missed me. I can tell. I was not all that impressed with the cleaning job my house sitter did, but what the hey. I only paid her $50 extra to do it.

Back to work.
