Persistant...

For the past 2 weeks or so there's been this bird who sits outside the window in our front room and continually flies into it. We don't know what his deal is, but after being a little cute, it's grown a little tiresome. He likes to fly into the window and you hear this little tap, tap, tap. He's cute though... take a look.

@}---- Smell the Roses :)

Yesterday I received a phone call from my temp agency, the company I've been working for for about 7.5 months has laid me off.... Hello Unemployment!! The funny thing is, this is about a month since the last one when my friends were laid off.. I guess it was my time. It's okay though, I'm sure this is a blessing in disguise. Who knows, perhaps my dream job is out there waiting and this was the only way for me to get it... or, I could just start my own bakery!! Maybe not, but I'll keep dreaming. Not all is lost though, my sister Tammy is coming into town for a work conference and now I'll be able to spend some time with her. Then, Rene and I are going on vacation for a week!!! We'll be going to D.C. to visit my Harmony (grandmother), Aunt and her husband. We are also super excited because we are going to have the opportunity to tour the White House and Capitol.

Pathetic Stalkers

So Rene was out the other day talking to one of our neighbors across the street and found out that our neighbor to the right is a player for the Indianapolis Colts!!! When Rene told me this, I instantly thought, 'my new bff!!' Pathetic, right?? Anyways, since then we have wanted to meet this neighbor of ours more than anything... if nothing else, to verify whether or not its true. We think it may be a good possibility... he's hardly ever home, is a very big guy and drives a nicer vehicle. Yes, we know this doesn't mean anything, but our hopes are high :) Rene was out watering the lawn yesterday and our neighbor was hanging out on his deck. They both said hello in passing and Rene was trying to water as fast as possible. When he finished, just a few minutes later, he planned to go over and chat only to find our neighbor had retreated into his home :( I hope we can befriend this neighbor of ours!! LOL
