These little guys seem to be EVERYWHERE at my new digs. Thing Two's new job is 8am "snail duty" he plucks them from the trees, flowers, bushes, fences, sidewalks, patio, doors, windows etc, and then "sets them free" in the canyon below the house. Walking around outside sounds like walking on Dorito's in the mornings. Shoes are a must. Bleck! I'll be researching some pet safe remedies for these guys.
* I have a peach tree in addition to my apple tree. This would be very exciting if I get to the fruit before the insects do!
* There is a hawk that has made his home in the canyon that my house overlooks. I hear him hunting every day. I love the sound he makes. This morning as I was watching the snails race across my patio he swooped over my head so close I think I could have reached out and touched him had I seen him coming.
* I haven't met a single neighbor yet...people seem to keep to themselves here, it's a very quiet neighborhood.
* I get a fridge tomorrow! Yay for a fridge!! I bought a styrofoam cooler for pop and water because I was sick of driving to the gas station every time I got thirsty. I had previously boycotted the purchase of another cooler because seriously? Do you even KNOW how many I have packed in that move? I did NOT want another one, but this option was much more economical...and sanity saving. So I broke down and got a temp. LOL
* my furniture will be delivered on the 9th...10 more days of sleeping/sitting on the floors. I can't wait!
* cable/internet/phone on Tues, Wed, Thurs. Fridge on Tuesday, Carpet on Friday. busy week of waiting around the house for people to come and set me up!
* I met some people I'm going to be seeing a lot of over the next couple of years. Seem like a great bunch of people. Whew! I'm relieved....but I still feel a lot of pressure. I really have to reign in the crazy for the next two years. Won't be easy!
* My hair is AWFUL! and by that I mean AWFUL! I desparately need to find a place to get it done but I don't have time for at least another week.
As usual, my thoughts are disjointed and unorganized. When I think of things to blog, it's not time to eat (Panera/internet) and by the time I get here, I forget.

Reign in the crazy? I saw "Rain" on with the crazy...it will be more fun that way.
awesome on the wildlife the house sounds like it is in a awesome place ... ps where are you?!
Have missed your updates
glad you are getting the fridge tomorrow and good luck waiting for the furniture, that would drive me nutz!
I'm glad you're settling in. I love the sound of your canyon hawk!
But seriously... what's with all the snails?
Eew, snails! I like them in theory, but the idea of crunching them underfoot wigs we out!
Just a quick bit of advice too, watch out for coyotes at your new pad...little animals have been known to come up missing in those parts...
Aren't snails your running mascot?
What?
Damn, quit hitting me.......
