Christmas Lights

This time of year makes taking a cab so much easier. Coming home from my first Christmas party(ies) of the season on Saturday night, I was able to just say to the cab driver, "My house is where the red Christmas lights are, up there on the left" rather than saying, "About half-way down the block on the left...no not yet....right after this house...okay, here!"

Laundry Day

The upside to not having laundry in my unit? Having 8 washers and 8 dryers just an elevator ride away! And, whenever one of those washers or dryers is broken, you just have to put a note on it and it gets fixed the next day! I've been putting off doing laundry for 3 weekends, and since I'll be in Alabama next weekend, there was no more procrastinating. 9 loads of laundry (5 loads were sheets and towels) and only 3 hours later, I'm done! Now it's time to watch Giuliana & Bill, Desperate Housewives and Mad Men season finale. Ahhhh.....Sunday nights.

I love this time of year, but...

This is perfect weather for sleeping with the windows open! The drawback(s)?

1. Being woken up at 6:30am by the garbage trucks
2. Cars honking at the garbage trucks when they block traffic
3. Waking up to crows crowing rather than a more pleasant sound of birds chirping
4. Groups of drunk people coming home after the bars close
5. Groups of drunk girls screaming and yelling at each other over some boy (like I had to put up with at 1am last night!)

I'll be sure to add to this list as I remember more of the drawbacks!
