I am a bonafide Truebie. I'm also team Eric. With that being said, I am so excited True Blood season 4 kicks off tomorrow.
I was somewhat dissappointed in the last installment in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. I felt the book was just blah.
I'll definitely post my review of episode one.

Is it just me?
I tend to ask myself "Is it just me", quite often. However, this time, I know it's not just me! I don't mind the occassional friend or family member who may just pop in to see you at your home unannounced. Sometimes it can be a nice surprise. When it's not your friend or family member, but a landlord, well...
The husband and I had 2 weeks to settle on a place to live when we first came to NC. He was starting a new job and an offer on a previous house fell through. Leasing a house for a year with an attractive rental price became very desirable. We just didn't realize that entering into a lease would mean unannounced visits from the owners.
I understand they've never rented their home out before, but they are now renters themselves. The "reason" for the visit was to provide information that could have been emailed or even a phone call would have been fine. I realize it's possible the owners were feeling nostalgic and wanted a glimpse of their old place. I just wished a phone call was made saying "hey I'm around the corner, is it okay to drop by".
Of course, the house was fine, I don't call myself a domestic goddess for nothing!
Lately, the husband and I have been thinking of moving further out into the country. Maybe something with several acres or so and getting into farming. We'll see. I'm always down for an adventure.
I find that the older I'm getting, the more I can do without a lot of people around me. I like settling into my own way of doing things without a lot of input. I've been doing my research on modern day homesteading and Ken is country boy at heart. The kids, not so much. One is afraid of insects and the other is terrified of bugs, go figure.

Oh where to begin... again...
I am not new to blogging at all. I am new to consistently remembering to post to my blog. After reading other folks blogs, I see I'm in good company!
I just want to start off with how awesome of a day I'm having. It's June 21, the first day of summer, officially! The kids and I took a break from our summer homeschool routine and spent the day just being plain old lazy. Summer has always been a time to relax and have fun. Since we're fully aware school work is waiting to be done tomorrow, it made today even more fun. I even decided to start this blog today! See what happens with a day without schedules.
As I mentioned, I'm not new to blogging, but this time I plan to make an effort to update at least weekly on the ins and outs of my life. Be forewarned... I have the propensity to break out into a spontaneous rant, for any reason, at any time.
