Saturday ramblings.

• - My 60-day trial of Microsoft Office just expired. Since all of my work and job search-related documents are in Word, I was basically forced to download the full version. It actually wasn’t as expensive as I thought it would be, but every pricey purchase hurts just a little bit since I don’t have a job right now. *Update: Thanks to my friend John, who suggested I use Google Docs, I just “returned” my download of Microsoft Office. I downloaded the full version though, so we’ll see how this works. I assume they will send me some kind of email that will disable the full version from my computer once they process my request.
• - I think my crazy neighbor sold her place! The realtors lock box that was on the door for the last few months is gone and I saw two new cars parked outside the other day. One was a lady in a suit, who looked like a realtor, and the other was a couple. I’d be OK with a nice couple moving in next door…I just hope they are normal and don’t freak out over little things like garden hoses…
• - Speaking of garden hoses, I think I’ll make a trip to Home Depot today to pick up another bag of mulch and some more plants for my patio and some ant killer. Because I hate ants. Oh, the joys of being a homeowner.
• - I did pretty well working out this week. One day walking around my neighborhood, two days on the Katy Trail. I had every intention going to yoga this week too, but it’s so nice outside, I am just not into sweating my butt off inside a yoga studio. I feel guilty too, since I paid $30 for a Groupon for unlimited classes for a month and have been once in two weeks. If I can go one or two more times, I will have actually gotten my money’s worth. I think that is a good goal.
• - I’m flipping through cookbooks today trying to decide what to make this week. No more baking! My friend Ashley gave me some Oreo truffles (to die for) and chocolate chip cookies last night, so I am sticking to cooking real meals this week. I don’t need any more sweets!
