Survivor China

What did I learn today? Well, the heart-throb of FLOREZ is on Survivor China. Which is hilarious in itself. But reading the play-by-play of the show, he's using his virginity to gain girls' trust to find out more about the idol. And that's funny.
Go Erik! (unless you've already been voted off, I'm not sure b/c I don't watch the show). But here is his Survivor profile, if anyone is interested in learning about my fellow Furmanite....

I don't like carrying shit...

and I had to carry it for 3 miles yesterday. I took my new doggie friend on a run yesterday. His name is Okin. He lives around the corner from me. He decided he had to go right when I was turning around to head back. So like a good citizen, I pulled out my plastic bag (prepared for this very situation) and scooped it up. But there wasn't a trash can where I could dispose of said poop until the very end of my run. Gross. And I had to run by a high school PE class that was out for a run.

I went swimming this morning. (I know I didn't expect myself to say that either). Now I have water in my ear.....

Ummmmm... you need to check this out. i think it might be my new favorite tv show even though I haven't seen it yet.
Salt N Peppa

Doesn't it sound amazing....
Whatta Manhunt
Pepa has a long history of dating bad boys, while Salt has a long history of criticizing Pepa for dating bad boys. In this episode of The Salt-N-Pepa Show, Salt teams up with a professional matchmaker to find Pepa the perfect man. After interviewing a number of potential suitors, Salt disregards the matchmaker's choices and finds her own date for Pepa. How will Pepa react when she finds out that her much-anticipated blind date is a youth pastor?

unexpected guests

These men have surrounded my house and are waving big yellow metal sticks over the ground. They woke me up from my 2 hour nap. Not appreciated. It kinda reminded me of when I was living with Christina in Chattanooga and the night painter would come. He was painting the outside of her house, but only under the cloak of darkness. He would shine huge spot lights on the side, prop his ladder up and climb so he could see right over the curtains that covered the bottom half of her floor to ceiling windows. Then he would just say there for 30 minutes, having a full view of Christina's apartment and whatever we were doing. We debated whether to leave the room, or stake our ground and continue doing whatever we were doing before he joined us. Do you acknowledge someone when they do that? Wave from the couch? Try to carry on a conversation with him through sign language? Or just stare at him until he feels so uncomfortable that he gets off his ladder?
He ran us out of the apartment a lot. We would go out to dinner just to get away from the night painter. Or Christina would come home from work late just to find me in a bad mood stuck in the kitchen because he was in the living room.
His finished work was not the best quality, as you can expect from someone who just paints in the dark.

I have to see a man about a horse...

I did. I was over in Victor in my old neighborhood. I was driving down the road and this horse is just walking along the side. So my old landlord (who was in the car in front of me) and I pulled over and came up with a game plan. She was going to try to catch the horse, while I went and tried to find whose horse it was. Although we were both unsuccessful in our mission. She didn't catch it and I never found out whose horse it was. But there was another woman on the case too. So we decided that we could probably leave and the situation would be under control.

It's God...

conducting the mountains.















I went climbing yesterday. It was a beautiful fall day. The aspens where, as Will put it, "on fire" or maybe he just said they were "glowing". Actually I'm not sure how he put it, but the gist of it is the "aspens are pretty."








Here is a picture of buffalo and the moody mountains.








I secretly cooked today. I'm having Sue (a cook) and Christian over for dinner tonight. Kinda intimidating. I didn't want them to see me cooking, so I did everything before hand. hehehe.

ummm...

SNOW!!!!! There's snow on the mountains...

That's not my stuff in that room...

I just moved to Jackson. Into a house of 2 Exum Mountain Guides. I rented the place for October, November, and December, but the couple left for a 2 month road trip and said I could move in once they were gone - which is today. Although after having moved all my stuff in, I have this feeling that they will show up and actually haven't left and think it's weird that I've already moved in. Like they just ran to the grocery store for something and I moved in while they were gone. So I keep looking out the window - although I have no idea what good that is going to do. It's not like I can pull all my stuff out of the drawers and sneak out the back. I guess I could just hide in the closet and wait until they are asleep and then sneak out. Or behind a curtain. Hopefully it won't come to that.
