Joggings

I moved into my fiancée’s house this last weekend. The last several months have been a whirlwind of getting my house ready for market and prepped for sale while the Man was also working to get his house ready for the market, as the plan was to sell both our homes and move into a new one. He lives in a fantastic suburban location near the city. I lived in a third-ring suburb, tickling the countryside of the west metro. We assumed my house would take longer to sell. It sold in 8 days. The bastard who bought my pretty girl house low-balled me, wanted about $6k in closing costs, and…AND…my brand new front load washer and dryer which I’m pretty sure he doesn’t even know how to use.

I know, I know. I should be grateful it sold so quickly in this market. I am. But I also wanted to walk out of there with a healthy chunk of change, so I countered twice and got what I wanted. Except the washer & dryer. That mule better take good care of them…they were the second set I had bought in a span of five years.

So I now live in Suburbia. My first day I witnessed a man (?) standing on the street corner in 40-degree weather with no shirt…dancing. And today…today I saw a person out for their morning run…iPod, tennis shoes, jeans, and a dress shirt. At first I thought he was running to catch a bus for work, but no…this person was exercising. In JEANS. Nevermind the dress shirt…who the hell can jog and sweat in JEANS? Is this some sort of evil step-sister to the Jegging? JOGGINGS? I wish I had had my nifty new phone to take some video for you. If I see him again, I will definitely record that shit.

Speaking of nifty new phone…I have entered the age of the smart phone with the purchase (upgrade discounted) of an iPhone 5. Holy shit, I’m pretty sure this thing could rule the world. It’s scary. Suri knew my name before I really even knew how to use her. My first conversation with her went like this:

Me: Hi Suri

S: Hello Katherine

Me: What are you wearing?

S: Why do people keep asking me that?

Me: Because you’re hot!

S: I’m just well put together.

I’m thinkin’ I could hang with this bitch. She seems pretty cool. I have also started learning other features on my phone, like actually ANSWERING it, texting by touch-screen, and downloading podcasts of This American Life. I’m so 2012, ya’ll! All suburbany and iPhoney. Look at me now, world!

Next up? Buy myself a pair of those trendy new Joggings.

(p.s. – No, Dina…not married yet…but we did finally set a date!)
