…I started a blog and wrote three entries  that were boring and then didn’t post for three years. Yeah neither do I, but I can’t talk about that right now I am very busy.

I am staying at my mom’s house this week in order to feed her horses and donkey while she gallivants through Germany without me. (Don’t worry, I didn’t even want to go. I mean, it’s not like I have never been to Europe or anything or ever would want to. No hard feelings, its fine. Don’t worry its fine, everything is fine.) Anyways, as I pull into the driveway of my mom’s house this other random car starts to pull in also. Initially I thought the car was maybe just pulling in to turn around, so I stare at the car. The car is indeed not turning around, but the driver proceeds to park the car and get out. At this point I am completely thrown off guard as I have never seen this man in my life, but think to myself that he possibly knows my mom or Gary. This conversation ensues:

Random guy: Is the lady here? (He says this pointing to the house)

Me: …no…

Random guy: Is the guy here? (Again points and refers to the house)

Me: (completely dumbfounded and thoroughly confused) no..they are gone this week (which was half muttered, half spoken).

The random guy then waves goodbye to me, gets in his car and drives away, leaving me flabbergasted and wondering what the heck just happened. Naturally, my brain starts swimming and all I can think of is why I did not ask him what he wanted. Then it moves on to what the heck were you thinking? Real Smart. Did you not learn the first rule of stranger danger is to never let a stranger know that you are home alone? Apparently I missed that lesson as a child. Or it is more along the lines of the fact that I seem to shut down and not function in situations like that. So here I am now, slightly afraid that some strange man is going to show up in the middle of the night.

I do have my dog. Okay, so she may the sweetest dog on the earth, but at least it is something…right?

It is now time for me to go booby trap the house, board up every single door and window and cower in the corner with a ridiculous amount of pepper spray.

Side Note: So I started this blog like two years ago because I thought it was the cool thing to do. I apologize in advance that this is probably going to be sort of boring slash not funny in any way. I will try, but lets be serious I am not super funny. I decided to start blogging here again as a way to just get myself writing more in hopes of improving that skill a bit. So there ya go.

P.S. Tess (the dog) keeps waking up and turning her head towards the door, and every time she does it freaks me out. Then I keep being afraid I am going to see some random guy in the window. Crap she did it again, my heart cant take this!

Over and out.

Onwards and upwards.

Good luck and God speed.
