If I every tire of my current career, I&#8217;m going to become a private investigator because I just love spying on people. I&#8217;m not sure where I developed this habit but I just can&#8217;t stop myself.<\/p>\n<p>I love walking Artie right now. It&#8217;s cold out but not rainy yet and beginning to get dark earlier. If I take him out around 8pm, I find most people have their lights on and curtains open. It&#8217;s dark enough outside that I have a nicely lit stage to peer into as I stroll by. And I simply love doing it. I like to see what people are doing, how they decorate their house, what&#8217;s on their wall. And then I try to figure out what type of people they are. It fascinates me and I can spend well over an hour strolling around with my dog playing peeping tom.<\/p>\n<p>The same holds true with my friends. Never, never, never, leave me alone in your house. I&#8217;m simply too dangerous. Forgot your jacket? I&#8217;m more than willing to pop by your house and pick it up. Of course, I&#8217;ll have to rifle through your refrigerator while I&#8217;m there. Need someone to water your plants while you&#8217;re out of town? I&#8217;m your gal so long as you don&#8217;t mind me snooping through your medicine cabinet. I&#8217;ve actually developed a quick snoop technique that&#8217;s quite amazing. I can rifle through a pile of papers in the time it takes you to pop into the kitchen and refill my glass.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, my labors are all for naught as most of my friends are normal people with normal lives but I always maintain the hope of some day hitting the jack pot and finding strange photos or old love journals stashed away somewhere. I think I may plant notes around my own house just in case I have a guest with my own fetish.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, now that I think about it, I remember playing this game with my sister. We&#8217;d leave a trail of cryptic notes throughout the house. You&#8217;d start with note 1 that would say something like &#8220;Now you&#8217;ve started the game and the trail isn&#8217;t to hot but you can pick up your next clue if you look in the pot.&#8221; Then you&#8217;d go into the kitchen and look through all the pots until you found the next clue. We loved this game. It would take one person a good hour or so to come up with all the riddles and hiding placed but we&#8217;d amuse ourselves for hours.<\/p>\n<p>Man, don&#8217;t even get me started on all the crazy games we played as kids. I think I&#8217;d be a much more normal person if I was allowed to watch more TV. Maybe then I wouldn&#8217;t have to work so hard trying to suppress my desire to steam open the mail that is mis-delivered to my house. At lease I have my dog to help purge my system but someday I&#8217;ll be McLaughlin, P.I. You just wait and see. (Obviously, I have read one too many Janet Evanovich novels and need professional help.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s still slow here and since I&#8217;ll be gone this weekend, I&#8217;ll leave you all with an extra post to help get you through the weekend.
