--Yeah, weird title but main nonsense things of my Florida Experience of most recent.
So, when I first moved in and commented on the amazing oak/maple/green tree in the front yard, my landlord smiled and said, "Wait until acorn season!" I laughed and went along with touring.
AHA! ACORN SEASON! OMG! I keep thinking the Eglin airforce base is purposefully targeting my car with their newest mini bombs fighter jets. I'd move my car back, but the tree is hugemoungous and overshadows the entire driveway. I love the tree, but cringe everytime those bombs fall Kerthud! on my Keeper. I'm just waiting for the time Riley is going 'outties' and one lands on his wee lil' head. I'm also wondering if the squirrel who stole my hushpuppies is purposefully chunking those things at me. Ah, nature.
And of which, I got a killer water/sewer/garbage bill. I'm hoping it's not normal but still no word what's up with "oddly large charge" that I asked to be examined last week. I'm thinking Riley and the girl dog next door are throwing pool and slip-n-slide parties while I'm at work.
And lastly, SAaaaaaAnd. I must admit I was a sand-phobe OCD-er and still am to an extent, but I finally got to the part where I could almost care less. The floorboard of my car is a mini beach, and my trunk is filled with ocean/beach toting gear. And little boy is limited where he can go, cuz I hate pulling of stickly spurs from him--OUCHIES! But still, shoes and paws get wiped down before entering into the abode. However, Keeper is beachified and my shoes have traversed many sandpits across the yard, neighborhood, bay area, and OYA campus.
Next post I'll put up some pics of the house and the palm tree right outside my window! I know, cool, right?!
