I'm back in texas and looking forward to getting back to my blog. i've missed you guys and my blog. i had this great idea upon my arrival back to dallas as i'm searching for a new place to live.

i thought to myself i'm tired of living in an apartment. i'm tired of ease dropping on all my neighbors arguments. it taught me a great lesson though, that if i ever thought i was having a bad day, I realzied it really wasn't that bad after all. i was tired of taking other peoples parking space because someone had stolen mine. and i was tired of stringing all my bags of groceries on both arms so i didn't have to make two trips up 3 flights of stairs.

so i found this cute little house for rent. i mean what the heck, i had already thrown a years worth of rent payments down the drain, what's another year?

i found this cute yellow house with huge trees larger than the house itself with a massive yard like i have never had before. (later i will learn why)

it's perfect i thought, i'll take it.

then summer came and all the winter leaves were still sitting 3 inches high and now the grass is starting to take off. yikes! i suddenly realized if i were in the lawn care business and this was someone else's yard, i could make a fortune on this one yard alone! then reality hits and i realize it's my yard.

so i venture out in search of a lawn mower. trying to see the good in this i think, well this is not so bad. i exercise often, heck i take kickboxing 3 times a week so mowing this should be a piece of cake! well, all i can say is i've gotten a new appreciation for 1/2 an acre!

i've never encountered bugs like i have here. i suppose living 5 minutes from the lake is to contribute to that. i've invested in car fulls of bug killer and i lost count of how many cans of wasp killer i have gone through. but it's sooo pretty. sorta like getting that outfit you couldn't afford and saying, "but it was on sale!"

hey, what's all the talk without pictures to back it up? so i'll leave you with a picture of my house with those lovely trees and my new outside cats that help keep my house exterminated.
