Open Letters

Dear Mother Nature,

Now before we get off on the wrong foot I would just like to say I have been enjoying the BEAUTIFUL weather we have been having. Sunny and 90 degrees for the last week, I am LOVING it!

However today, without ANY notice (barely a cloud in the sky) you waited until I had just stepped out of the car locked the doors AND THEN POURED DOWN RAIN LIKE I HAVE NEVER SEEN!

Serious. It was bad. So bad that I was soaked all the way through by the time I made it to the doors at the post office (I was parked EXACTLY out front)

Now I do love me some rain. But....

I was wearing white capris. Fresh from a shower, covered in lotion.

Oh yeah the post office got quite the show.

And when I walked back out of the post office sunny skis every where and I was soaked and people were staring....

Sincerely
Not wanting to end up on Wednesdays "What not to wear"



Dear Post office,

You would think at 12:30 on a Tuesday AFTER a holiday you would have more than 2 people on staff during the lunch rush.

Really there were 27 people in line in front of me, 13 behind me.

I counted.

And it was raining.

Just saying


Dear pompous JACKASS 2 people in front of me at the post office,

You are a jackass.

Really.

You stood there for 35 minutes talking LOUDLY (you know those kind of people) about your business blah, blah.

Your an idiot.

And then when you get to the front, and make a call WHILE YOUR BEING HELPED to someone who should know where your mail key is and the post office does not have it..

Figure YOUR SHIT OUT BEFORE YOU GET THE THE FRONT OF THE LINE!

And while you are talking on the phone so loudly while we are all still standing in line and I chim in

"Hey Don (post office workers name) would it be ok, to help the OTHER PEOPLE PATIENTLY waiting in line while this guy figures out what the hell he needs"

And the whole post office applauds.

Yes that was me you flashed a dirty look to.

Whatchagoingtodoaboutit.

And yes, I waved at you and smiled.

And when we ALL clapped when you left, yeah I started it.

You know the scary thing? You run a business. And we wonder why so many businesses do not make it.

Sincerely
No time for ignorant people, get some class buddy!

80 mile an hour winds!

We have been having some really bad weather lately.

Its TORNADO season here in Kansas. Which until the other night when the apt felt like it was about to be swept up in a tornado, I never really "felt" any danger.

I was about 2 seconds away from dragging my mattress and the dog into the bathtub. Daisy would have peed on me for sure.




Oh and as I finished this post ANOTHER tornado warning is flashing across the TV.

Still under tornado watch

(Not my photo but one that was taken here in Wyoming)


Its so sureal out here. One minute its sunny and nice out then the clouds move over and poof hail, lightning and high winds.

I have never lived in a tornado area so its strange to me. So far we have been lucky the closet one was about 4 miles out, we got the debris from it and the weather but nothing else. The weather network says 3 more days like this...

I emailed my mom and dad and my mom freaked out a little. She thinks I am trying to give her a heart attack.

When we moved to California in 2003 there were HUGE fires on either side of us. So close our cars were covered in ash for weeks. It was a really scary time.

And then we move out here and we have tornadoes, just our luck....

One of our managers lost his house. Completely. It was leveled, and they were scheduled to move in this weekend. It was a brand new house. But on the bright side, none of there things were there. They were not living there. No one was hurt so its rather a blessing. Also the adjusted was out today and said they will just rebuild.

So fingers crossed y'all that mother nature will stop shitting on us?

Sorry I have been MIA

Could I ask for better weather to drive around with the to down?
Been busy with stuff. I still have not gotten into my closet to clean it out yet but at least I got started tonight.
I have been running and procrastinating about running. And icing my shins.

Tomorrows post should be a good one, I am headed out early with a friend and her 2 kids to the flee market and beach (did I mention it was 90 out today?) so I will be sure to take lots of pictures and have a post full of our adventures..

Hope all is well, I promise to get caught up with every ones blogs tomorrow.
