SIMPLE PLEASURES
Yesterday, I was at the grocery store picking up a few things - mainly fruit since I've been lacking with having zero groceries in the house. It was great to get a watermelon (which I cut up the whole thing and filled up every little container we have in the house with its juicy goodness), cherries (mainly for Rian) and some bananas.
Anyways - as I was in the produce section, all of a sudden I heard some added music on top of the already overhead playing music. I looked around and finally heard what song was playing.
I finally found the source and realized that it was coming from the area of veggies. As I looked closer - I realized the mist (that sprays maybe every 20 minutes - ok i have no idea how often but maybe something like that) begins to spray the veggies to the tune of Singin' In The Rain.
I couldn't believe how awesome that was and how happy that made me. I'm weird - I know. But how cool was that? Adding theme music during a grocery store trip?
Spendid.

Tweety Funny
I don't know why I'm laughing so hard at this - maybe because I'm in such a good mood that it is Friday.....
To quote #johncmayer on twitter...
"This guy on the treadmill at the gym gave me a dirty look today. All I did was ask if he minded scooting up so I could run behind him."
double lol
HAPPY FRIDAY!

Neighborhood Watch
Two nights ago - after some house work and some fun time (Rian and I actually both had our laptops out and were playing Gin against each other on Yahoo! Games) - we decided it was time to get Clifford out of the house and time to get us some ice cream. lol
We walked just a couple feet before we saw a couple of our neighbors outside chatting and playing with their dogs. Being that we live where we live - they came over to us to meet Clifford and meet Rian and I as well. We had already met a few neighbors (them coming over to us to introduce themselves) but were happy to meet a few more.
We all chatted about the block and the people. They pointed out who lived where and also pointed out all of the houses that have dogs as well. They ended up pointed to probably 3/4 of the houses on our block. Needless to say, Rian and I were pleased that our street was such a dog friendly street.
The more we chatted, the more Rian and I were realizing that we moved into a "Pleasantville-esk" neighborhood. Very ironic since I always make fun of Elizabeth for living in a Pleasantville/Stepford type area.
The houses on our block certainly aren't perfect or the newest models out there - but we are learning that we do live on a block where the values from back in the day still exsist. As one of our neighbors so candidly put it - "Tomorrow is National Night Out - we aren't really doing anything for it because every night here is National Night Out." lol
They obviously don't need a specified night of the year to mix with their neighbors - it is a daily occurance.
As Rian and I broke away from the pack and went on our way to Creamy Cone for a Monday night treat - we talked about how lucky we to have bought a house where we did. To have the qualities in a neighborhood and neighbors that you always want. We are living next to friendly, helpful and caring people. One of the nice things is that we know (have heard) that the neighborhood/neighbors aren't the kind that are watching your every move or judging you for missing your weekly lawn mow - but they are the kind that will bring out a dog treat to coerse your dog to safety when they get out - or the kind that you can borrow some tools from and they offer to help you fix whatever needs fixing and hopefully the kind that we can invite over for some backyard beers and enjoy a wonderful summer night.
Without us even trying or making the first move - we have met probably 10 or so neighbors in less than two weeks - simply them coming to us to welcome us and let us know if we need anything they are here to help.
Either way - we will get to know our neighbors more - and feel really blessed to have already started off on a great foot with our new block.
This house just keeps getting better and better.
