Just a quickie…

Day 2 of the big house sitting pet sitting adventure.

Every time the phone rang last night – Mikey decided to bark her little hyper high pitched poodle bark. I ended up locking myself in one of the bedrooms upstairs and crawling under the bed with phone pressed tightly against my cheek. No – I did not pull my vibrator in after me.

I know that things are suppose to be all romantic and everything. I’d like to be one of those girls who tells you that I always play while I’m on a call – but every once in awhile one has to be … realistic and honest. I was in the wild kingdom last night – and I was too busy crawling into tight places with phone in hand to get away from the barking bitch to play with Mr. Hitachi man. I will make sure he is with me tonight, though. Mikey might decide to behave.

I’ve been slowly walking around the house though. I am, by nature, a big snoop. Snoop doggy dog and then some. I LOVE looking at people’s things. I’m just being honest. If you don’t like the fact – then please don’t invite me to your home. Because I’m telling you. I WILL look thru your shit. Maybe not stuff that you have on the top shelf of your closet – but under your bed? Under your mattress? In a drawer or two? Yeah. I will be that snoop doggy.

So I’m at the house – and I realize thru my snooping skills that the house that I’m sitting for does not …. *whispers* have a computer. I KNOW. I didn’t think a house existed. But there you have it. The little kind lady that I’m house sitting for does not have a computer. Does not have a lap top. That I know of. That I’ve found. Does not have a computer. Soooooo – I have to run on home and do what I need to do – and then rush on over to spend the nite with the puppies. I also do not have the ability to check my listings – or even answer emails that are sent to me while I’m on line – unless I’m on line while I’m at home – which is not likely. BIG No-No. Seriously. I’m surprised she has a tv. Had I not been snooping – I might not have realized this as early as I did and made arrangements to log on in another way – see? Snooping is imperative.

I haven’t found any movies – but it doesn’t matter cuz I haven’t found the DVD player to play the movies on.

So I was sitting in front of the big screen tv earlier today – eating my tomato soup with crackers and staring out at the pool when it hit me. How warm was the pool and how warm did it have to be before I swam in it? I had dipped my toe in it a few times – and it was pretty cold. It looked so inviting. There’s a little water fall that is at one end – and a little hot top, I guess, in another part of the pool. It’s really oddly shaped – so it looks more like some tropical pool than a typical pool. I had no bathing suit. I didn[t even wanna wear the one that I had bought 2 seasons ago. I didn’t want to go skinny dipping because that is only fun when you have someone you want to fuck, let’s face it. So there I sat – discussing the possibility over the phone. Sitting there in my white tank top and white cotton granny panties. Yup. I thought to myself … what is wrong with just slipping into the pool like this? And I sat at the edge and let the water kiss my ankles. Then I kinda leaned in…bracing myself on my hands behind me and lowering myself in like … I don’t know… some calgon commercial or something. The water slid up my calves. I stood on the stairs of the pool – these nice thick blocks of slippery cement – and with each step I took the water rose a little more… a little more… a little more. Just one more step to go….

The entire valley must have heard my yelp. How was I to know the last step would be the deadliest? That last step had me ass deep into the pool. 75 degree water was lapping at my ass and I could hardly even take my breath. Once I was in I figured, “fuck it” – and just swam for about 20 minutes. It’s warm after your blood stops circulating.

I have work in a minute… and I still have to get changed. I’m tired. I’d like to just curl up at the house with the windows open and take a nice nap. It’s peaceful there. I guess having no computer there might help me out a bit. I have 2 papers that need writing – and I have a lot of relaxing left to do. I can lay by the pool tomorrow until classes and read and toast myself golden on both sides – sliding into the pool every now and again to cool off….

This week is gonna be a good one!
