Have you ever had one of those movie moments? Things are going so right, the sun is shining, and there is even a soundtrack?

I had one of those moments today. My training got out early so I was able to take an early train home (see, in the end it was a good thing I missed my train at my station and had to drive to the one with the meters ... this early train didn't go to my normal station). The sun was shining, there were people all around, and there was a guy playing a great beat on a drum set right in the middle of it all.

It was one of those YESSSssss moments

I have become a huge wimp. Ever since we put in our air conditioners, little tiny bugs have appeared on our walls & ceiling. They're tiny and I envisioned them falling on me in my sleep and thus made Tim climb around squishing them in Kleenex. I don't know exactly when I became too much of a wimp to do it myself.

This morning, there was some kind of large bug (like 1") with antennae and a hard shell body (you could just tell). I tried to squish him under a book on the carpet but every time I checked he was still wriggling. It was the worst. I was suddenly hit with guilt. Some how, the size of this bug, and kiling it myself made me feel guilty, and I definitely couldn't squish him in Kleenex, ewwww.

2007 ... finally feeling better. The new apartment is great. I like living in the boonies. I like that there's no hassle, we're a straight shot from the east, easy to get to from everywhere, and we're no more than a half hour from anywhere we want to be ... well except to see Tim's family, but at least we're a solid half hour or 45 minutes closer to them. I like our bigger apartment and that our parents and friends like it, too. I don't even mind that I get up at 630 (give or take) everyday. We are here, and we're settling in, and I love it.

We have nice, friendly neighbors who give us hot tips on x-country ski spots. People hold the doors open. There are hardly any lights and even when there's traffic it doesn't feel like it. And, gosh darnit, we've got the littlest "big K" you'll ever see!
