all night we waited, me behind the dumpster, and dave around the corner of the building, and the bastard never showed.

after thursday morning's car alarm, it happened again at 3:15 friday morning. we decided to try and get them on video so that we could show it to the board and get rid of this asshole, so we plotted and planned on how to do it, got the equipment and found our hiding places, waited til 5:15 this morning, and he never came.

we'll do it again tonight and tomorrow night if we have to. dave has to go to north carolina on monday for work and will be gone til saturday, so i hope he shows up before monday.

it got quite cool last night. i think i'll dress warmer tonight.

ok, it was actually kind of fun. laying in wait, dressed in camo and black, whispering back and forth on our cell phones, armed to the teeth (just in case!). dave was in the air force, and i know i'd have made good army material, except for all that damn running.

when we went out at midnight, i climbed into our neighbor's van (with her permission) to see if her tinted windows would provide enough cover for me to wait in there. she parks right next to dave's car. i accidentally set off his alarm, i guess by sitting on his keys which were in my pocket. he called me and whispered "so are you being sly and stealthy honey"???

i'm such a moron.

the tint wasn't dark enough i decided, but i found the spot behind the dumpster. it's surrounded with a wooden privacy fence which provides just enought room between the slats of wood for me to see out, and it's all very dark and shadowy behind there. and someone was nice enough to deposit and old rabbit cage behind it for me to sit on for about 4 of the 5 hours i was out there.

did i mention how badly my body is aching today???

really tho, it was nice to hear the birds start singing at 4am and see the fog rolling in and settling down.

it'll be even nicer if i can enjoy all of mother nature's bounty AND get this guy on tape. dave says if we do he's gonna put it up on youtube for everyone to see.

i managed to get a few hours of sleep once we came in and dave is napping now, so i've got chores to do. laundry, grocery, sweeping up all the flora and fauna we drug in - you know, fun stuff like that.

and then the ever-present visit from mother. oh. joy. that woman is SO harshing my buzz.

we are going to see "a mighty heart" tonight. it's about the only movie i've really wanted to see in a long time, so i hope it's not disappointing.

i hope all my bff's have a great weekend. xoxo
