reasons i want to move

aren't you proud i'm adding a post?

i just need to vent about the fact that i really, really, really want to move (as if you didn't already know that!)

so here are my newest reasons:

1) schatzi
matt and i feel in love with this little girl when we saw her at the pet store last week. even though she'll never be ours (she'll be gone before we live in a place that allows dogs) i have named her "schatzi" - a german term of endearment, like "honey" or "sweetie." she's the same kind of dog that matt's parents have - a wire-haired fox terrier. their dog's name is spanky and it fits perfectly! he's the craziest dog you'll ever meet, but he's super lovable. sorry the pics are so blurry - we took them with my phone.









2) peeping jane
for those of you who don't know, we had a peeping jane a few weeks back. long story, but she climbed over snow and through mud to peer into our apartment while matt was home and i was at school (thank goodness!). matt thought she might have needed somebody to open the door, but when we went to check the front door, she was casually checking her mail. what a creep!

3) crazy neighborkids
as we were trying to fall asleep last night we heard super loud footsteps outside running past our bedroom. we peered out the window to find 2 13-ish-year-olds hiding behind some cars next to our apartment. one was wearing one garbage bag and carrying another over his shoulder (full of who-knows-what). they were acting quite suspicious and ran off shortly after we looked out the window. we tried to see where they went but we lost them. i definitely made sure my car had been locked and everything was still in it. hopefully they were just hiding from friends or something...but 13 year olds running around suspiciously around midnight seems strange to me...

4) the heat is (still) on...
...and it's 78 degrees in here...and that's cooler than it's been all winter. if only i could control the temperature in our apartment...

...or move!

Yay Beth, I'm so glad you've started blogging. That is a cute little pup, hopefully you can find a place soon enough that'll allow dogs and you can leave your crazy neighbors behind.

You are a new blogger and you already know how to make your page cute. I really need to figure out how to makeover my blog. Thank God for Allison... she pimped my page. I love the cute pup. He's almost as cute as my kids.

So I forgot about this when I commented earlier but I thought I should mention that I once knew a dog named Schatzi. She was my next door neighbor's dog and was huge and hairy, and when I was little, she bit the hand of another neighbor lady and took the skin off her hand right in front of me! Yikes. Ever since I have been frightened by dogs and no wonder, right?!

oh my gosh, jen! that makes me so sad. maybe i shouldn't name a dog "schatzi" afterall!
