I'm Baaaackk

at least for today.
yesterday was a snow day from work because I could not make the drive.
the roads were terrible.
first on the schedule of my day- get caught up on my "girlie tv" bc Bill was not home.
He walked to his downtown office.
then I felt like I needed to be somewhat productive and decided to clean out my closet and dresser.
it took me about 2 hours but when finished I was very proud of myself.
I was excited to show Bill bc as we all know, he is the KING of tidyness and order.
He was very happy as expected.

This morning I was standing in the closet still admiring the organization and Bill walked in and said this: "Isn't being clean fun???!!" with a HUGE shit- eating grin on his face.
I think that was one of the happiest Bill faces I've seen.
lol

not much else to speak of:
-meeting with Mrs. CaptD today to put together our May PIB wedding party invites
-going ice fishing this weekend. I'm 40% scared of being on the ice and 40% scared of the airboat trip to get over to the island. But I'm 100% excited to see the Island winter style.
-last night we went to a sushi place downtown bc i was going stir crazy in the house. the sushi was half off- it was delish, but as usual my body does not eat anything "Chinese/Japanese/Asian" related and feel full- so we went to Panini's and I ate a piece of pizza and some fries- go diet go!
-15 days till our honeymoon!!!!

Masked Man

ok I've gotten several requests for this story...

The night we got back to Cleveland from FL we ordered Chinese food.
I volunteered to go pick it up so off I went!
Getting out of the elevator, a man who lives in our building asked me where I was heading. (we'll call him "the suit")
I explained.
He said to wait bc there had been an incident.
We walked over to the security guard together and "the suit" explained what had just happened.
As he was pulling into the parking garage level 1, (my level--there are 3 levels of the garage), he noticed a man run into the garage behind his car, and pull a mask over his face.
"The suit" stopped, leaned out of his window and shouted "what the f*ck are you doing?!", and the guy ran off out of the garage.
Sidenote: if that happened to me, I would have peed myself, just sayin...

Anyhow, "the suit" parked his car and ran up to tell security, which is where he intercepted me.

Now, please remember I had Chinese food waiting for me.
So I asked the security guy to walk me down to my car, so that I could leave.
Hungry Jennie!
He agreed as he was heading down there anyway to look around for the would-be intruder.
As we walked down to my parking level, he got on his radio to alert the other security guard along the bridge about the situation.
I got in my car, he checked outside and off I went.
I called Bill to tell him about what had happened and then focused on driving thru the sleet/rain/ice storm to go get our grub.

When I pulled back into the garage, I was definitely more aware of my surroundings and basically sprinted into our building.

We ate.
As I was cleaning up, Bill got a phone call.
It was the security guard.
Apparently they had caught the intruder.
He had gotten into our building!!!!!!

They think he ran out initially (after "the suit" encountered him) and then hid, watching the security guys look for him.
Somehow he got past them (not too surprising I guess) and was in our building with his mask on when they caught him.
They held him and then had him arrested for criminal trespassing.

When questioned about why he was there, his response was:
"I was going to visit my friend Tony who lives here"
"Tony who?!"
"Uhh I don't know his last name, I met him at a bar"
ok yeah......and the mask?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next call: Bill's dad, the judge.
Next day: Bill's mom hands me a present from his dad: A nice can of tear gas/pepper spray!

Never a dull moment...

I had intended on sitting down and writing a nice blog about our wedding week back in FL...
however, I'm a bit shaken up bc I was just about 5 minutes away from running into the masked man that tried to break into our condo building tonight.
ahhh it's great to be home...

more tomorrow, I promise.
