Am I really ready for that?

Today was another boring day. It was pretty busy this morning with some confused people not able to connect to our new and faster server. By noon, though, things slowed wayyy down and by 4:00, I was bored out of my mind. Maybe I should start playing Java-based games, like Olivia.

We both got home and professed our hunger to each other. Notice I said "to each other", not "for each other". hehe We ended up going to Taco Bell for dinner because we didn't feel like fixing anything. we've been getting in a pretty bad habit of eating out fairly often because of a lack of energy to fix dinner here at home. We probably need to try to break that nasty habit.

After Taco Bell, we decided to drive down to the apartments (and houses) down the road and look for a water spicket. Why a water spicket? You see, our apartment complex offers a "car care area". It's a little bay designed for washing you car. When we moved in (back in July 2000), the water-hose-machine charged $.75 per cycle AND there was a regular water spicket so that you could bring your own hose and use their water. It was (in my mind) a good deal, mostly because the option was there to use thei water to fill your bucket, rinse your car, etc. Very cool. Over the winter, however, two changes were made: The water spicket was taken completely OUT and the price-per-cycle was raised to $1.00. I couldn't believe it. They had made their "ammenity" into a rip-off! What's the use in calling it an ammenity when I can go somewhere else and wash my truck for CHEAPER?

So, back my original story: We decided to drive down to this other (nicer) apartment complex to see if they had a car care area with a FREE water spicket. It turns out that there was a guy standing there washing his Jeep with a hose in his hand. It looks like the hose is even attached to the spicket, so I don't even need to bring my own hose! GREAT! So, it looks like I've now found a new place to wash my black beauty. YAY!

While we were down in this little neighborhood, we drove around and looked at all of the new houses. they look pretty nice, but they're priced pretty high. The one that we stopped at and grabbed a flyer from the "For Sale" sign in the front yard had a price of $238,000. WOW. It was 2,000 sq. feet in a really nice neighborhood. I don't even think my parents paid that much for their house in Bridgewater, but I'm not that suprised..this neighborhood borders a nice golf course, so I'm sure that raises the property value, too.

And now I'm relaxing and watching, you guessed it, the Screen Savers on Tech TV. Let's all hope for a more exciting Thursday. :)
