56: Living in a trailer park, yo.
Blogged on Friday, July 13th, 2007 by Rachael. Filed in Randomness.
So, what have I been up to lately, you ask?
Uh.
Well.
As you can see from the title of this post, I now reside in a cozy little trailer in a cozy little trailer park. Yeah, that’s right, now I can rub shoulders with Eminem (gack) and all those other celebrities/famous people/friends of mine who unashamedly (or perhaps shamedly) attest to their prior residence in a trailer park. And dude! Do you know how awesome a trailer is?! It came PRE-PACKAGED, man! There were little plastic bits on the sink that had to be peeled off when I got here! There are extra strips of wall that I tucked away in my laundry room, and every window has the same curtains! It’s just ridiculously awesome.
Okay, that was maybe a little bit tongue-in-cheek - but I really do love this trailer. I put money down, I make my payments, and in seven years this sucker’s all mine to do what I want with, heh heh heh. It has central air and new miniblinds and three bedrooms, and new appliances and lots of windows and it’s mine and I love it.
Also, I have a crazy neighbor who lays out on a sheet in her front lawn (which is about four and a half feet from my parking spot) to catch some rays, while rather a lot less than fully clothed. Joey’s eyes almost bugged right out of his head when he saw her do that, but I quickly shushed him and got him in the car right away. She’s really not crazy on purpose though. She has low sugar and short-term memory loss, which translates into VERY loud and extremely repetitive.

Tandaina - most definitely. As long as they don’t also have excessively dirty mouths in public and always be ranting about their momma. ;)

RHM - yup, still in the same area. A little more north now, though. :)

Buffy, what?! SEVEN?!
No, see, I threw away all kinds of crap when I moved, but I don’t remember six angel candleholders. What are these angel candleholders of which you speak??

Hey, it’s good to hear from you!
Aren’t trailers called “manufactured homes” or something like that these days? And you never know when you need an extra strip of wall.

I hope you have tornado insurance ;)
Seriously, I’m glad that you’re starting to get your life straighten around.

Alison, ROFL. That’s exactly why I kept it - just in case, you know? ;)

Thanks for the well-wishes though, man. I sincerely appreciate them. :)
