Goodbye Restless Court

So today I said my last goodbye to my first house. I think if this all would have gone smoother and happened faster I could have just bypassed this and moved on.. but no it had to drag out. So of course today when I stopped by to drop something off I had to do one last walk around. The truth is.. I love that house so much. Every time I walked in that house these last five and a half years I felt right at home. I think the day I first looked at it I felt that way. It's just so cute and cozy.
When I was there today the uncared for plants along the fence just ate at me. I really hope the new guy at least tries to tend for them. Looking back I think I should have just went there and cleaned it up a few weeks ago.. oh well too late now. Anyhow I left the house feeling really sad. One thing I won't miss though.. HOWARD! Of course as soon as I got there he decided to take his dogs out.. had to check out who stopped by.. weirdo! I feel bad for the new guy.
All in all.. I hope one day I feel as at home at my new house as I did there.

Tonn's Review - cambodian food?


I realize I went here a month ago.. but I needed some time to recover from it. You see the front of the building? Ya it's actually a warning. I thought for sure that they just didn't want to invest much in the sign. So Marcie, Mari, Heidi, and I enter Tonn's with an open mind. I immediately questioned why we wanted to come here in the first place. We kind of just stood by the front for a moment soaking it all in. It basically didn't really look like a restaurant. There were a few tables scattered about.. and LOTS of junk up against some of the walls. A nice man approached us and asked if we were eating there or to go. Wasn't even a question.. 'we'll take it to go please!' So we sat down and looked over the menus. Then a lady came out to take our order. Of course she didn't need a notepad because she's done this for years and has a great memory.. err. Or let's just say she came out and asked us to confirm what we wanted 2 or 3 times. No biggie though.. the food is going to be GREAT! As we wait for the food.. we admire the dirty walls.. ceiling... carpet.. seats.. well everything. There was a nice food stain on the wall right behind me.. not quite sure when it was put there. Finally we get our food. Go up to pay for it. I was glad I just had cash. She had those with credit cards swipe it themselves and enter the cost? strange. As we walked out we also noticed the nice box of toys they put out for kids to play with. Who cares if they're 20 years old and have never been cleaned. Anyhow so we headed back to the office to eat our food. I think we were all a little nervous to say the least. Got to the breakroom.. pulled my container out of the bag.. nice long black hair laying on top of it.. uhh.. let's just pretend that didn't happen. So I start eating.. it wasn't bad.. but not the greatest food I've ever had. I just got sweet and sour chicken. Thought I'd try and play it safe. The sauce was kind of thick which I thought was weird?! But it tasted okay. I kept eating.. found another hair. Then I found one in Heidi's. I think after this point we were all just about done eating. A lot of food was wasted that day :(
All in all.. made a good story.
