dear thieves of east nashville...

While I appreciate the fact that you didn't cause any harm to myself, my roomie or my dog...

And while I appreciate that you weren't able to come into my house and take all of the rest of my stuff because my dog probably scared the bejeebies out of you...

I DO NOT appreciate you taking my Macbook.  The white one with the kickin' art gel sticker on it?  The one that had over 4,000 pictures of my travels, friends, dogs, etc.?  The one with my bajillion iTunes songs on it?  The one that had my most important documents strategically arranged in well-labeled folders?  Ring a bell?  Hmmmm???

And, NO.  I do not have a backup.  Thank you to everyone who has asked, though, because it makes me feel ALL the better about losing all of my stuff.  Apparently, I deleted all of my files on my .mac/mobile me account so that I could restructure and update.  Just hadn't actually DONE that yet.

So...

It's just a computer.  I know that.  It's just music.  It's just pictures.  It's just my personal information in the hands of some hooligans.  My life hasn't ended, everyone is safe and the world is still spinning away.  I just need a few days to accept it.

Therefore, east nashville thieves, I will soon be able to forgive and forget.  Just don't try it again or you are going to get more than my dog barking at you when you climb through the window.

my week in pictures #2

my week in pictures

I have been feeling ill this past week, so most of my time consisted of sleeping, snuggling pups and eating good food prepared by others. :O)

 

my new 'hood

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you know I'm in Nashville this weekend (and a few extra days beyond the weekend).  I'm here to basically pre-move.  Friday, I was able to go to my soon-to-be new abode and talk through all the remaining details for when I move in next month.  I'm also in the process of following up on job leads and all that fun stuff...and then just spending some much needed time with my favorite people.  

I think the thing I'm most excited about, though, is where I'm going to be living. FINALLY...getting to live in East Nashville.  Took me long enough, but it looks like it's finally going to happen!  And, mother of pearl sweetness, within 3 blocks or so of where my house is located are 2 very fine coffee establishments.  And a favorite mexican restaurant.  Among many other wonderful places.  And then, as if that wasn't enough, I am fortunate enough to be living within walking distance of several friends! Yeah!!!

Can you tell I'm excited!  Yeah, 37206!

Morning Madness

We get crazy around here in the morning!!!

Sunday Morning

The dogs and I are just chillin' at the house this morning.  I have some people coming to look at my bedroom set in about 20 minutes...they are interested in buying it, so I had to clean out all of my stuff.  Basically, I will be sleeping on my mattress on the floor for the next 47 days (I think that's the countdown...I should get an accurate timeframe).  I had to put all of my dresser clothes in my suitcase.  It's fun times here.  :O)

I also don't have a coffee table now, so I'm balancing my computer and coffee mug...but, I like the cash in hand.  It will help with all the moving expenses I am getting ready to incur!  I can't WAIT to get to my new house.  SO excited the dogs will have a big back yard to run around in.  This little one needs all the exercise and energy expenditure she can get...

Well, that's all for us right now.  I need to make sure everything's ready for when these people get here.  I am probably going to help transport the furniture to their house, which is an hour away.  Then, I have to run to Towson to pick up my tea and then get a 3 mile run in before more fun festivities this afternoon.  This weekend has been GREAT.  Lots of good time with friends and family...I definitely needed it.
