It's Saturday and yucky outside

Through the clouds and gloom I can see a strange car in my driveway with a note on the window. I'd go see what it says but it's cold out there. Well geesh, it's not like it right outside the door, if it was I could read the note with binoculars. (I tried reading it with binoculars.) I'm nosey but not nosey enough to get dressed just yet. I don't suppose it's anything to get worried about...axe murderers probably don't leave notes on cars they leave in driveways. Do they even leave cars in driveways? Maybe it's someone who knows our tenant. Yeah, that's it. You know I'm going to get dressed soon right?

Speaking of tenant.....she told me at the beginning of the month that she was job hunting and thought she might be moving out by August. She'd applied for a job on the West Coast and thought she would know more by the time she got back from her month in Europe in June. A friend called Thursday and has a daughter apartment hunting in the area...was ours available? I don't play poker for a reason and my mouth has a habit of talking before my brain kicks in. We generally don't like to rent to "kids" of people we know. Then yesterday we got another phone call about the apartment from the neighbors' kids. let's just say these "kids" were not always the best behaved and considering past behavior I think they have a lot of cajones to even ask if our apartment is available. The sister called twice on behalf of her brother and the potential rentee stopped by and tried to give me a deposit check. Think Eddie Haskel. Remember I don't play poker and my mouth spews words on it's own sometimes. At least I was able to honestly tell him a friends daughter had first dibs ont he place. Ok...this is out of hand already and I don't even have a clear understanding if my tenant is even leaving for sure! Whew, potenial problems solved. I saw Colleen and asked if I could show the apartment today to friend's daughter...Collen was aghast...she had applied for a job in Montpelier and would stay if she got it! Oh happy day..I'm telling everyone she's staying!!! Oh and if you could, please keep your fingers crossed Colleen gets the job..I really want her to stay anyway. I made that very clear to her.

Greg landed safe and sound in Atlanta this morning, is winging his way to Cincinnati as we speak then Vermont by noon. Seems a funny way to get home from Brazil but *I* didn't make the flight plans. I will get dressed before going to pick him up at the airport. It seems only right. It's the old "what if you get in an accident" thing kicking in, ya know. Snort...sort of like wearing a thong outside of the house as a joke...who would do such a thing? What if you got in an accident?? (Happy Birthday Lizzie!!!!!!)

Off to get dressed, read notes, roast coffee and make an airport run. Have a good weekend all!

I hope Greg got in okay--what a long flight! I will keep my fingers crossed that Colleen gets her job in Montpelier!
