Well, I had every intention of posting Part 2 the very next day, but I tell ya. . . last week was ONE busy week! Lots of exciting things going on. Some good and some really not so good.

My drug dealers/car thief neighbors are gone. FINALLY! They have been a source of unease and entertainment (sort of like watching a horror movie) and drama for the last two years. I’ve complained and complained to our Home Owner’s Association, but they never did anything about it because I didn’t have any PROOF. What? Did they want me to wind up dead to PROVE it to them? Well, nonetheless, they’re gone. What in the world WILL I do now without constantly peeping out my windows at the drug deals and cop drama?

Things at work continue to slowly plummet into a suckhole of bull$hit. I hate this economy and what it does to the managers and the “number-crunchers”. I SO hate it when they say, “You’re going to have to take a 10% paycut and you’re going to be happy about it cuz at least you have a job!” HATE THAT! (That didn’t happen to me personally, but I know a lot of people that it DID happen to) I have the mindset that NO ONE is going to hold me hostage in a job. I work too hard and care too much about my job to even BE around people that think like that.

My ex’s birthday was the day after my last post and I intended on giving him a hard time about turning 50! But something’s lost in translation when you’re a week late.

I’ve been suffering from Spring Cleaning Fever and I’m slightly annoyed. . . because it ISN’T SPRING! I don’t know what constitutes my sudden urge to clean out my closets and redecorate my house. I want to be outside!! Not in a dark, cluttered closet. I have conflicting personalities apparently. Just call me Sybill, okay?
So I’ve come up with a compromise and that’s when it’s dark and the pool is closed and when I’m usually posting something on my site, I clean closets. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I HAVE discovered some fun stuff (pictures and stuff) that I can share later.

Okay. Then there was everybody dropping dead last week! What in the world was up with that? Shocking and surprising deaths almost everyday! Major celebrities dropping dead left and right! And the causes are all so drastically different.

Ed McMahon – he was just old.

Farrah Fawcett – poor thing suffered from that nasty cancer for long enough.

Billy Mays – don’t know. A bump on the head or something. Just woke up dead.

Michael Jackson – well, when you take 8 jillion drugs and eat like a bird, something’s got to give. I’m just sayin’. And there’s a lot more I could say, but there are a billion people who would probably linch me in my sleep. So I’ll just leave it to Chris Rock! He puts it like only Chris Rock can put it. He cracked me UP!

So even though last week was a little busy and hectic, you can still bet that I made time for the sun. My boys came over again over the weekend and swam in the pool. Two weeks in a row!!!! I say that surprised-like because I don’t think that Chris got in the pool once last year. It’s so fun when they’re in there together.

And cannonballs are ALWAYS in order.

Then, of course, Chris can’t let his little brother even THINK that he can make the biggest splash.

But it’s not always about the splash. Sometimes, it’s about the height.

What do you think? I think Adam’s got the height.
