The second weird conversation that has been spoken many times was the front yard. Scott Giorgini (my fiancé)’s relatives or friends asked him about how did he like Phoenix? He always said “the weather in the winner time is very comfortable compare with Buffalo, but he can’t stand to see most of people’s front yard is full of rock and sand. (That what lot of people who live in Phoenix loves to do with their front yard, the beautiful desert landscape). Well, I can see on their face that they don’t really know how to imagine the picture of the landscape like that since 100% of the landscape here is green grass. Well, personally I love to see green landscape anyway, so I love it here right now. But what I don’t understand is why many houses here seem to cut all the tall trees (around the house) down, and then put grass back. Trees are much more valuable and they are much more serene to our mother earth (I think).

One observation though that is hitting me hard is people in Buffalo are so so so lay back. They move slowly, they think slowly, they act slowly unlike the valley of the sun, Phoenix. The part that I don’t like is I am starting to feel that way too, and I am trying to find out what is it all about it? “Is that because of the weather?” that is my first assumption which I see that when the sky is grey (no cloud) that is when I feel so tired, and lazy, and I feel that my brain is compressed into a little tiny space that I’m fighting to come out of it, but never be able to do it. My vision isn’t narrow; it feels like I have goggles on, so I can only see in that only rectangle dimension. However, I also have another assumption which I say to myself “Is that because of I have me?” Me who keep telling myself how I suppose to feel in a certain way when I’m in a certain environment.

The mind can be the most impact to our body, but energy around us is also real. It changes it’s density in different atmospheres just like water, even though we can’t see it with the eyes. So!!! I’m still bargaining and looking for more clues!!!

I was sitting in my room wondering how in the world am I going to get all these clothes launder. I was more hoping that my dirty laundry would disappear for a few hours and return as clean as they can be. Sudden, I remembered that it was 2008 instead of 1908. Thus, I proceeded to find laundry service providers online. I just wanted to drop it off and pick it up later. To my amazement, there were many laundry facilities out there that would do exactly that. All you have to do is drop it off and pick-up later. Well, I guest I was not satisfied with that because I would have to leave my room plus my car has very little gas. Again, I found more laundry service providers, but very few of these facilities would actually pick-up. Of all these providers, one particular stood out among the rest. It was call Dorm Mom. I even thought the name was cool-Dorm MOM.

Supposedly, this is a company that provides laundry services for college students and busy professions. Boom-I fell right into those categories. Most importantly they would pick-up my laundry for free, yes free. All I have to do is pay the service fee and anytime I need my laundry done, just call them and they would set-up a time to come pick-up my laundry right at my doorstep.

They also have free grocery delivery and apartment cleaning. I tell you, the price is definitely right. The greatest thing of all is that I just got my cable turned off because I hadn’t pay my bills in months. They have free cable online. I could not believe it. The website is http://www.dormmom.com/. I guest the mom in Dorm Mom is justified. The only time I did not have to pay for cable TV was when I resided at my mother home. Anyone who does my laundry and helps me save time on all these things has to be a mom. This has to be the greatest thing I have ever stumble upon. Maybe, I will now be able to do better.

-Sumo

I was told it will take anywhere from 7 to 10 business days to get them out there -  can’t wait. I hate the lawn as it stands as it is covered in weeds. Maybe instead of paying some one to do it, I should be doing it myself since I have to do these for the next 30 years or so.

Selling a home around is is very tough and may take anywhere from 3 to 90 days when all is going good with the economy. Now that the market is in a slump, who knows how long it would take to sell? I have looked at a couple houses in Lockport and it doesn’t look too bad but I must first find a buyer for my current home as I am unable to carry two morgages seeing that I am single and have a lot other things going on.

Last night I went to bed at 4am -  writing a program for a client in the UK. I had promised to get the job done couple weeks ago but I’ve been so busy, I cannot even stop to think. With a fulltime job and all these other things on the side, it is not easy. As usual, I have to be up at 8am to be at work by 8:30. I love my job but I can technically work from home without going in the office cos all I do all day is seat at the computer and write software applications. It is a wonderful world.

Spring cleaning is starting up and I am not looking forward to it. I have a tree cut down that I need to clean-up and hoping to get that done by this weekend.
