| My roommates are so sweet! One of them somehow slashed my tire so
that it would go flat. That way I'd have to stay at home and
spend more time w/ them instead of going to work. Maybe it was
Robin w/ a protractor or Katy w/ a stone carving knife. I haven't
seen The Other Sarah w/ anything sharp lately. Too bad they
miscalculated and my tire wasn't flat until I was at work almost all
day. AAA pays for itself every year. Some guy (who smelled
like whiskey) came and changed out the tire quick as a flash. I
leave for a conference in Augusta tomorrow w/ no spare. That's
how I roll---on the edge of danger.

| But only for
Halloween. Shortly after moving to the big city, my car insurance
rate increased. It was just ridiculous. Fortunately Aaron
knows a guy from UGA who works for Liberty Mutual. Now I have
renter's insurance and better car insurance for less money. And
then I met the insurance agent in person at a Halloween party the other
night. He looked just like Kid Rock. His wife looked a lot
like Pam Anderson.
Today I stared down the dog who lives next door and barks all the
time. I'm trying to assert myself as the pack leader so he'll
shut the heck up every once in a while. I don't know if it's
going to work in the long run, but today I won because he quit barking
and walked away.
I've been going to yoga class at the Y. It's a bit more strenuous
then the beginner class I took a few years ago. We have to do
spinal twists in this class. It sounds worse than it is.

| Today I went to a meeting at DFCS and these four girls had the nerve to
start talking about how I had a big butt. And they were speaking
at a volume that I could totally hear them! It was so rude.
Perhaps they were jealous.

| The house that I moved into last month got sold. So it'll be torn
down and a lovely McMansion with an 8-car garage will stand where this
humble ranch was cozily nestled among the pine trees. My new
roomies and I have looked into a couple of other houses. I'm
really committed to living in one a couple miles away that will give us
more elbow room and does NOT have any mold in it. Character is a
nice way of describing moldy, buggy, drafty and/or leaky. The
house I like doesn't have much in the way of funky hipster-ness, BUT it
does have hard wood floors in the bedrooms, a nice yard, lots of
common-area living space and two and a half bathrooms. We'll
see. I think I'd be happiest in Decatur, but I can't afford to
live alone and I'm not going to risk having a freak of nature for a
roommate.
We had people over for Katy's birthday. It was lots of fun.
Then we went salsa dancing. I'm glad that girls don't have to pay
a cover, although it represents a cultural value that totally
objectifies women. But since I am a girl who doesn't have a ton
of money, I was glad to not have to pay anything at the door.

| On Thursday I put $0.60 in the Coke machine and got FOUR Cokes for the price of one! It was so awesome.
