Nicole's day so far....

Good morning Family!!

I only have 3 minutes to post before I have to run off to my first job. I just got back from a quick walk with the dog where I believe I met our first grouchy neighbour. I wasn't prepared for that so I might have taken it a bit personally and would be more upset if there wasn't some more neighbors around to defend me. It's muddy and gross out and I think the mice are out like crazy because Chloe has been digging and sniffing through the ditches like mad. Well, I started to turn a corner and saw 2 dog owners talking to eachother and another one coming towards us walking her dog. So, I put Chloe back on leash and kept walking. The single lady and her dog passed me but both her and her dog hissed a bit and the dog barred his teeth... whatever. Then, as I passed the 2 ladies she turns around and comes half way back to yell about how she's been living here for 15 years and if you guys don't live here you should go away. The one lady called back that we all do and even pointed to where we all lived. Then the grouchy lady pointed at me and yelled something about calling someone on us!! What?!!?!?!! She walked away and the other ladies just told me to forget about her since she's just a grouchy lady. We should make sure we buy her dog tags now. oops.

So, now I'm off to Job #1 and then I have 3-4 hours to kill before Job #2 so I think I'm going to bring some laundry and find a landromat. And a mall so I can find some jeans. I have a dumb story to tell about that one but I'll do that tonight with pictures on my other blog (after I shave my legs).

I hope you all have a GRRREEEAATTT day. Especially those of you who will be in tropical places!

Nicole



PS. Mom wants us all to post a lot so she doesn't waste her $5 for 15 min. internet time. It'll be fun to try to post everyday anyways.

Let's SO gang up on that grouchy lady! I'll get Kia to put a huge heaping pile of...bark on her front step! lol, I'm just joking. She's just probably bitter because her rural residential property now has big land developments and more and more people around. I could totally understand that. (however I would really be p.o'ed if a stranger started letting into me in the morning!)

Ouch! $5 for 15 minutes?

I find grouchy people so challenging... I actually got the woman at the pet store we go to to SMILE at me just before we left Winnipeg. Took me 6 months of regularly buying crickets, taking in my birds for wing clipping and dog food.

Sometimes I do the overly friendly thing, "Oh HELLO! How are YOU?!"

Try it! I think you'll find it fun, too.

good news. great news, SUPER NEWS, $20.00 (American) for 6 days! -they have wireless in the lobby! Grouchy people are everywhere- even on vacation. Keeping looking for the friendly people, you'll find them. They are probably next door, you never know.
Missing you all.
I feel very far away, hardly anyone speaks English, even the whiter ones.

Let me tell you about grumpy people!!
"Too much foam in my beverage."
"I waited to long."
"The new girl is messing up my order."
"Heat up my mug."
"I want a grande in a venti cup."
"I want my milk heated to 180 degrees."
"This is too sweet, not sweet enough." blah blah blah......

Kill them with kindness I say.
