Winos

Mackenzie and I made awesome chicken dinner and had my so far favorite wine. I forget the name, but it's a Chardonnay. We decided to class it up and become wine snobs basically. We will try to make dinner more often since Mack will have the same kind of schedule as me soon.

I still like the morning commute since it hardly slows down and I like blasting the music and drinking coffee. Afternoons are not as fun since I have no ac and slows down at certain areas. Oh well, the price I pay for living in Folsom :)

Momo was mean to Mack and scratched him up and was just a little rascal. He had to stay in a room in the apt with Mack while the people put on our awesome new cabinets. They look nice. I'm thinking Momo was just scared of the people and also bored and felt trapped. Hopefully he won't continue to try to slice up Mack. Of course, when I got home, Momo was a perfect angel, asleep. I would have never known he was scary unless Mack told me, or rather showed me the scratches.

Observation

Basically when Mackenzie and I first moved to Folsom, we both made an observation about Folsom that is so far true. People in Folsom are nice. I went to Starbucks, the lady was nice. I went to Target and Raley's, nice. But here is the kicker: Mackenzie went to Jack in the Box and fast food people are not the nicest, they just do the bare minimum for niceness. I laughed when Mackenzie said that the people were nice, nicer than they had to be. lol. I went to Walmart and figured all Walmarts are the same, as in, just nice enough. No, had a great experience there. I was alone and trying to look through the heavy furniture and a lady and a young man came up and helped me put it in my cart. Then, at check out, the lady was nice and I had two guys help me put the bookshelf in the car and one gave me a high five when we got it in. Wow, Walmart is that nice??? I love Folsom! Everywhere I have been so far, the people are super nice and friendly and everyone seems happy, even the bussers. It's not a creepy, Stepford Wives way. I love the atmosphere.

I am loving the morning commute since it's quick and I love spacing out and listening to music. It will be the first time I'll commute with my new time, getting off an hour early, so I will see how that goes. Should be fine.

Got a lot done yesterday, finally went to the grocery store. Guess what? Nice people.

Folsom!

I haven't updated in a long time since this past week has been crazy.

To put it simply, Mackenzie and I moved to our new apt. in Folsom. It is a three bedroom 2nd floor apt, very nice complex and we got new paint and carpets and other things. It is called The Preserves at Blue Ravine and is located right next to the Nature Preserves. From our apt, you literally walk about 20 steps and you are on the bike path that goes for miles around Folsom...still need to find out exactly where it goes. It's a very nice area. I am extremely happy. I did my first morning commute and going to take an hour off every day from work to beat the traffic and two hours on Friday. This will go until Dec. 31st, then I'll see if they want me back full time or if I happen to find a job that is closer...I love how we each have our own room and tons of closet space and two bathrooms and no more crickets (I hope). I don't know how, but that old apt. was infested with crickets, inside and outside. So glad to not have to deal with that! Also, so sick of Davis. Damn kids, I don't like those college kids. I am living in a town with real working peoples and people with families. TWO lakes, tons of shopping (we are two minutes from Target and four from Walmart). Just awesome!

I unpacked like a crazy person, hardly rested. Today, need to rest.
