Ok, so I was working at a customers today. He is a lawyer in Plant City. He also happens to own a paintball shop which he runs upstairs from his office. He took me upstairs to show me the paintball stuff. He asked which color I like. I said orange. He didn’t have orange. He had black. He gave me a paintball gun, the hopper, a CO2 canister, and a mask. I already have paintballs here at the house. We need to go paintballin’!! Who wants to go???

Crazy Organic People
Ok, I’m sitting here playing rough with Meiko and I have the news on. They were talking about “green” rooms for your children. One of their ideas of green are “organic” sheets. The cotton used in the sheets did not have any kind of pesticides, etc. Ok. If you aren’t washing your sheets and are worried about pesticides in your sheets….. ???? Just… no! Why? Why are people so crazy?? People have been using sheets that weren’t “organic” for decades now and aren’t dying of some sort of pesticide poisoning. Sigh.
On a side note, this weekend was just beautiful outside. I even had my windows open all weekend and slept incredibly well without the A/C. I can’t wait for winter so I can do it more often. Especially since I don’t have someone living with me now to complain about how cold it is. Even when I was sweating.
One more step toward being alone
My father has officially hit the road to start working more seriously on his North Carolina house. He pulled his RV out of my yard yesterday and hit the road. It was really redneck town around here for a while with him living in his RV in my yard. Once the house is built, the rest of my family will be leaving for NC. I will be the only Greb left in Florida. Everyone asks me if I am going to move also. No. I am staying. I have a lot invested here with my business and my friends. And I think I am plenty old enough to be on my own. But I’ll visit them once every five years or something. Just kidding!
Anyway, now with my father gone, I can start cleaning up around my house. Here is my plan:
- Dress up around the edges of the driveway
- Build a carport in the front for my truck
- Put plants around the yard to make it look nicer
- Clean up all the crap left over by my father
- Edge around trees, and trim trees
- Repair the kitchen floor
- Change they layout of my living room
- Repaint the master bathroom
- Clean up my second bedroom for guest use
- Consider putting a shower in the half bath
- Paint/remove leftover wallpaper from the kitchen/dining room
- Get a new couch/living room set
- Clean up the walkway leading to the backyard
I plan on doing a few of these steps this weekend like trim trees and such. Of course, a lot of this will take money I don’t have, but we shall see what happens.
Want
I want more. I want to have fun. I want to get my well put in. I want more money. I want someone to hold. I want to play with Meiko. I want to sleep. I want to work out more. I want to be more motivated. I want to fix my floor. I want to eat. I want more good friends. I want to be in love again. I want to ride a Harley. I want to clean my house. I want to travel more. Do I have too many wants?
Random Pictures
Things have been crazy lately. Both good and bad. Anyway, below are a few random pictures that I took that I thought were interesting. The first is an officer bowing her head as she waits for a funeral procession to pass. I’ve never seen an officer do this. I thought it was interesting. The next is an accident where it looks like a police car got rear-ended… someone’s in trouble. The next is just a rainbow that I saw in Auburndale. And the last is a plant that found its way through a small hole of my recycling bin.
