I’ve had house showings 2 days in a row, which is very good but quite inconveniencing. Yesterday I found myself with 50 min to clean up the house and myself, during which I demonstrated some crazy time management skills hehe

Anyway, I killed the showing time yesterday by getting some stuff at Ace Hardware and grocery shopping. Well, every time I visit this particular Ace, I just get in a really good mood. For one, the smell just takes me back to my days going shopping with my dad. Secondly, the people that work there are always super nice. And lastly, there are some really good looking guys working there hehe. But I had such a lovely 15 min there yesterday. I think another part I like is that I feel cool buying houseware stuff like furnace filter and tile caulk. It makes me feel very independent I guess. I really only needed the furnace filter, but I found myself just browsing looking for more stuff I might need. hehe that’s pretty sad, isn’t it?

So my day was immediately awesome-fied. I got in my car, rolled down the windows and turned up the radio. I was in such a fantastic mood, and as I ventured the back way to the grocery store, I was thinking how much I loved that Ace Hardware and also how my navigational skills had become quite exceptional.

But as I pulled in to the grocery store parking lot, my little happy bubble was demolished. First, a lady turned left in front of me, apparently thinking it was a 4-way stop. Well, she made it one because I certainly had to stop to keep from hitting her. I refrained from honking because I really hate doing it. No more than 30 seconds after this, I find myself stopped in a line of traffic heading down the parking lot. I just happen to look to my right, where a huge jeep is backing straight in to me. Now, my front door on up was in clear view of the driver’s side, so I was like WTF. I honked. She kept backing. I honked again. Still backing…a lil slower. Third honk and finally traffic in front of me moves and I get the hell out of dodge. The best part was the person behind me who had stopped further back to let this person back out. I guess they just intended to watch the car back in to me from a distance. Thanks guys.

So I guess I was having too good of a day for karma. Luckily it wasn’t soo good that the person had to actually hit me to balance things out. That would have sucked.

I had a chat with a friend this morning about my house hunt, since he’s from the area I’m trying to move to. My poor lil brain is working overtime trying to figure out what it wants. I fear my problems all trace back to me lacking a dominant brain partition. My repressed youthful side is yearning for the condo, whereas my very vocal practical side tells me I should think twice and think long-term and resale.

Really, I think the true heart of this dilemma is my lack of relationships. It’s pretty safe to say all my friends are at work now, and pretty much all of them are coupled. With Rach away, I officially have no single girl friends and guy friends…that just gets too complicated. Point. I need a boyfriend or a really close group of girl friends. But really, I have little desire for a real boyfriend…just the role…you know the one person you depend on to have plans with :) Is that considered “using”? Besides there are only 3 guys I know of that I would date at this point in my life, and they’re either in another country or somebody beat me to ‘em. So it goes.

I need to meet more people I guess, but that just sounds like more work than I care to do. An alarming percentage of people instantly annoy me. But Johnny told me this morning in different context…I’m too picky. I’m all too aware because it just makes me want to run away and live in a shack in the woods and avoid all this nonsense.

My Morning Jacket show on Sunday though. I have that solo venture to look forward to. It will still be magical nevertheless.
