Home sweet Home!

So finally I have moved into my new house. A lot has happened in the world while I was homeless. We have a new President, the guy who wrote Jurassic Park died, um Halloween...Ok I've basically been living in a big house on a golf course eating someone else's food, but for some reason I feel like I just stepped out of a bomb shelter after Y2K.
I have pictures of my new house located here http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2588775&l=0e7ea&id=13924136.

This last week I've been like a new puppy slowly exploring his new territory. I found that it takes me around 40 minutes to walk to the grocery store...then once in side it takes me 10 minutes to get to the back of the store. It's huge. They have an entertainment section in the grocery store where they sell TVs, DVDs, CDs, and Video Games. Of course I've seen the Wal-marts and the Super Targets that have grocery stores in them, but this is the first Grocery store I've seen that has a Target in it. Sadly as big of the store is I can't find a few of my Minnesota favorites. For one they don't have Western dressing here. I guess Texas isn't as Western as Minnesota. It's not so much that I eat it on salad but mix it with Miracle whip and you've got a good fish and chicken dip( I bet you didn't think you'd get cooking tips in this blog). Of course the variety of Salsa and BBQ sauces make up for it. There is an isle in the store that is just Salsa.

Yesterday while I went running I passed a sign pointing to the Library so today I decided that I would check it out while I wasn't smelly and sweaty. So today I started walking there and I decided to take a short cut...Of course not knowing where I was going it was impossible to know which way was shortest, but I had a good feeling. After walking around for a while I decided I had probably went in a circle and then I caught a lovely smell in the air. It smelled like food, and I knew I liked the smell of it...the problem was that I couldn't tell what kind of smell it was. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me so instead of looking for the library I followed my nose. I then came upon what might be the greatest restaurant known to mankind. I have no idea what the name of it is as there is just a big sign that says, "DONUTS" then underneath that one says, "CHINESE CUISINE" and in small letters it says "TACOS" I've never been to a restaurant that specializes in Donuts, Chinese, and Tacos...and when I thought about it I'm not sure why someone hadn't come up with this before. With that mystery solved I resumed my quest for the Library. I soon came across a guy digging a hole. I don't know why he was diggin a hole, I didn't really ask. I did ask him if he knew where the library was. He looked at me blankly and said something about Nintendo. I assumed he said he didn't speak english or he didn't understand, and then it happened. For the second time in my life I used something I remembered from High School. I asked him, "De Donde es la bibliotecha" I don't know if I got the grammar correct or anything, all I know is that he pointed in a direction and I followed and there it was...the library. I was pretty proud that I had used my two years of Spanish. I was having flash backs to me in my desk wondering "Why in hell is this mandatory? When am I EVER going to be in Mexico trying to find a library!?!?" On my way back I got tot he place where the man was diggin a hole, but there was no man, and there was no hole...it makes me think that may be he was a magical Mexican fairy or something....either that or I was mistaken and it was a little farther down the road where there was another guy digging a hole.
