i'm pretty much living alone for the next month. it's really nice most of the time, but i discovered a problem recently. see, during the school year, our friend grant had been cutting our grass for us. well he's now home for the summer, and being the only one at the house, that responsiblity now falls on me. the problem? i've never cut grass before. i tried once when i was younger, a lot younger, but i couldn't push the lawn mower. it was kinda sad for me. i ended up with a horrible sense of failure. i cried. that's a lie, but i did try once and i couldn't do it. so anyway, i decided that i had to overcome this whole grass cutting thing, and this morning i conquered the yard! oh yes, i cut our entire yard, front and back, like a CHAMP! i must say that i'm pretty proud of myself. go me!

so the other day chas and i were talking about how much we do not watch television. we decided that it was probably a huge waste of money to pay for cable each month when we really don't use it all that much. about 2 minutes later we had decided to get the cable cut off. so chas called comcast the next day, and they said they'd take care of it on tuesday. well, today is tuesday, and i was just sitting here watching some tv when all of a sudden the show was gone! it was so exciting. right in the middle of a tv show and BAM! the cable was out! i'm very excited about saving nearly $13 a month. besides, cable tv is completely overrated. and so i must say goodbye to comcast. i was only using you for tbs anyway.

look at me. i'm blogging. yay blogs. woo-hoo!

oh how i love thundetstorms. they are just so relaxing and peaceful to me. i hope it is still storming when i go to bed tonight. falling asleep to a thunderstorm might be one of my favorite things. it's fantastic. that is, until the power goes out and you cannot see anything. and then lots of trees start falling down all over the place. and you cannot see to drive anywhere. and then the sound of rain makes you have to use the restroom, but that's kinda hard cause the power is still out so you still cannot see anything. and let's not forget the next morning when you realize that you're the genius that left her car window down all night. yeah, when stuff like that happens, thunderstorms are no longer fun. but until that point, i love them!

i don't know about this whole blogging thing. it's weird. maybe it'll grow on me. we'll see.
