Things that make you go "hmmmm"

I had planned on posting a few weeks ago...but just didn't get around to it.....I had my surgery on my ankle to remove my hardware, and things are pretty much back to normal. I still am wrapping my ankle because of some swelling, but other than that, I feel great!! I went to my follow up appt on Wednesday and made Dan go with me because I was a bit neurotic about getting my stitches out....I know, I know, silly!!! but still, I was nervous...which ended up being for NOTHING because they were disolvable (SP)!!! can you believe it!! Figures....just goes to show you that you shouldn't worry about things to happen, because it just might NOT happen!!! I'm such a dork that way!!! I should learn something from this, but I 'm sure the next time my neurosis will get the best of me again...soon!!!
We have new neighbors next door to us....they moved in a couple weeks ago. The old neighbors moved out the day before the new ones moved in. I have been praying about this because our old neighbors have been wierd lately and I was praying that we would have someone who was a bit more laid back and not so, well, let's just say 'crabby'!! lol! They (the new neighbors) seem very nice and the most exciting thing is they have a little boy who is 7....just like Egan!!! I'm excited to have them meet....but of course, Michigan weather in the winter isn't always cooperating....it's been so cold, we really haven't had a chance to talk with them. Dan did for a few minutes but then needed to thaw out! lol! So, going with the title of the blog today....one thing I do not understand (and yes, I'm a mrs. cravitz, but I"m ok with that!! LOL) is the neighborhood we live in is 'decent', Ya know, working class I guess you could say....ANYWAY, they buy this house for my guess is way below what it was appraised at (again, old neighbors acting weird).....and do you know what they drive??? Ok, let me back up a minute, If you haven't ever been to my home, we have a shared driveway with these neighbors, we live right in the city (meaning, not any land....small yards) and it's a one stall garage they have. The old neighbors needed more space because they had FIVE cars at any given time on the street, driveway, garage....it drove me nuts living on city street with parking on both sides...but I digress....ok, so do you know what they drive??? and keep in mind, (I'm showing my age here) they are YOUNG!!! like mid 20's or so....ANWAY, they have THREE vehicles!!!! HELLO!!!! and not just any vehicle....NICE, EXPENSIVE VEHICLES....lets just say, what they have spent or are spending on vehicles, probably matches what they paid for the house!!! HELLO!!??!?! They have a newer Mustang, a Yukon Denali and a CADILLAC!!! ok, ok, ok....not my business, I'm fully aware of that, except we do share a driveway with them.....and keep in mind it's a one stall garage..so I know what youre wondering...where are they parking all their cars.....I'll tell you.....in the back yard....yep, you heard me....their back yard!!! OMG!!! Have I mentioned my many neurosis' yet?? If not, I'm sure you're starting to get it...lol Dan laughs at me all the time....that I need to let things go....I do...TRY....I TRY to give all my anxieties to God and pray about this constantly, but some things just really make you go "hmmmmm....how bout that!?" and you have to agree, this is one of those times!!
Ok, enough about that....happy thoughts Nicole.....lol....I got a raise at work this week! Yahoo!! Every little bit helps ya know! And I absolutely LOVE my job and the people I work for and with! It really is the best job EVER!!!! I work for a not for profit Free Clinic, which sees patients that are uninsured or underinsured. And its' a SMALL space right now for the amount of people we see.....about 20 patients per day, and we have 2 treatment rooms and 1200 sq. feet...and there is about 6 staff present at any given time and we have at least one volunteer at a time also...so it's tight quarters....thankfully, we all bathe on a regular basis...lol! HOWEVER, we will be starting a capital fund raising campaign shortly because we will be moving into a much bigger and needed location. Right now we are located in the basement of a church and the school located next to the church is combining with another school, so we'll be moving into part of the school!!! Oh, it will be soooo nice!!!
Well, I"ve babbled enough for now....ttfn
