My new roommates

So I have taken the big step of becoming a landlord for the summer. That's right, I am renting out rooms. 2 rooms to be exact. 2 rooms to 3 boys, all 17-18. Yup, I have been in constant email contact with 3 high school boys and their over protective mothers. It is like talking to parents as a tourguide all over again. All they want to tell me about is how great their boys are. Apparently I have a 5 star chef and an amazing horn player staying with me. And he has to practice the horn everyday. Cool. Luckily I will work long hours this summer, so I won't be around for the practicing. 2 boys sharing one room and the third in my current guest room. Cara, I have moved you to the front room on my new futon. Yea, you took a step down, but I think it will be well worth it, as these boys will be paying my mortgage this summer.

In other news, the hot tub is no longer foggy and the BBQ is working great. We test it out often, and I have found that the BBQ is too close to my back door, thus setting off my fire alarm on a daily basis. This makes for great comments from others about my cooking. I am sure you can all imagine. I finally bought a new hot tub cover to protect my clean water from all the pollen and rain. Of course, it is not here yet, so the rain today did not help the water chemicals, I am sure. Oh well, such is life, the thing heats up, it bubbles, and it has working jets. What more could you want?

The Volvo is about to be retired, in exchange for a new car. Well, maybe not totally new, but new as in different, and not as in 15 years old on its last leg. Something maybe 2 or 3 years old, with not six figures on the mileage and something that will not make weird noises when I make right turns. Or left turns. Or when I am idle at stop signs. You know, the norm.

Well, I am off to bed, I just finished fast forwarding through American Idol to find out who got kicked off (1 hour show in 5 minutes) and can now relax knowing that show really as predictable as I thought it was. Damn good TV though, especially the look on Simon's face when he doesn't know he is being filmed. I even hit rewind to see that again. the Bachelorette starts next Monday, we are planning a large viewing party. You are all welcome, but you will have to fly here. Trust me, it is worth it. =)

I am pretty random these days

Isn't the house lovely? I have just figured out how to put pictures up, and while I have this sneaking suspicion that the picture already exists on this site, now it is front and center.

I have returned home from a co-op party that I inadvertently ended up at tonight. A co-op is a college intern who works at NASA. When I was invited to attend this birthday party, none of us realized how many 21 year olds would be in attendance. Sort of felt like I was hosting a party for the underage drinkers. Fun, but weird. I am old.

Caitlin was here last weekend, we did some serious wedding planning for her wedding next April, including picking colors and songs to dance to. Yea, can you picture us? On the couch, both with laptops, playing songs on youtube over each other. Lovely.

I am also buying a car, so if you know anyone who will give me a good deal, or some direction on what to buy, let me know =)

My programs are over for the spring and we are heading into 80 hour work weeks for the summer. Should be interesting, and I am already looking forward to the week off in August for Cindy and Andy's wedding. And some time at the lake. And some time in Sacramento and at home. Prepare yourselves, here I come!
