Oh the joys...

I know I don't normally update this quickly, but I just had some funny things happen the past few days.

Milk Waterfalls

The other day, I went to the grocery store, which, without a car, stinks.  I walked there, but had to take a cab home.  Still, getting the groceries 1. from the cab to the curb, 2. from the curb to my door, and 3. from the door to my kitchen, is a process!  Honestly, I try to go the store as little as possible.  Anyway, I had successfully managed to get half of the bags to the door and was opening the door when, low and behold, a three liter bottle of carbonated water busted through the bag and crashed into the bag of bags of milk.  Haha, I know that sounds funny, but milk is sold in bags here.  You can't buy a gallon container here.  We normally pour the milk into a pitcher once we open the bag, but until they're opened, they're just stored at room temperature.  Weird, right?  Well, there I was, standing in a puddle of milk, watching the milk start streaming to the stairs, thinking, "Seriously?!  Couldn't this have happened several steps ago!?"  So is life :)

Another one bites the dust

Another thing that is a never ending is shoe repair...  I have now officially WALKED HOLES through FIVE pairs of shoes.  I've had some re-soled and used them again, but walked through them again!  So... does that make it eight pairs?  :)  I've included some pics of the latest victims...  They lasted me a while, but they're to the point of no return... too many super glue-ings, too many soakings in the rain, too many miles!  Thanks Laura for sending me some new shoes, you're the best :)  I've already put them into the rotation!

BERNARDO & The Water Outage...

Also, Sunday was my first day of dog sitting. We're not talking just any dog... it's a 200lb Saint Bernard! My friends left for a three week vacation and I'm in charge!  The poor thing seems so sad already :(  Obviously, that's not funny, but I went to feed him after I got home from playing basketball with some friends and I wanted to take a shower and give him some new water.... BUT, the water was out!  My apartment is 3 doors down, so I went home to shower because our house has some reserve water for situations like this.  Unfortunately, the reserves didn't last long...  So, I spent the past few days bathing with baby wipes and putting on a hat for service to cover the disaster that was my hair.  This morning, Wednesday, the water came on for a few hours... Now, the water isn't exactly clean looking...  it's brown.  But, boy does it feel good to be semi-clean!  We took advantage of the few hours to fill every garbage can and bucket we could because we don't know when the water will be back :(  Here are some pics!

 Buckets, buckets & more buckets!

Lovely brown water
