Another Notch on my Blog Post: Some Were Born to Blog the Blues

You know what really grinds my gears? Every night this week I've been suffocating in my air conditionless house, and averaging about 4 hours of sleep a night just tossing and turning. The good news is, it's back on and in full force, but I'm having a hard time enjoying it. You see today is my cousin Kayla and her husband Jay's one-year wedding anniversary, (congratulations you guys!!! ) but they had a little incident with an intruder today. Someone kicked in their door of their Austin apartment and took off with Jay's X-Box. Thank goodness no more harm came of the robbery than a demolished door and a stolen game set (they left the Wii though, clearly the robbers were retarded).

The thing is, I left my house unlocked all day today so the A/C repairman could come do his thing. I didn't think twice about it really because my neighborhood is usually pretty quiet as it sits back in the farthest corner of The Woodlands with nothing much behind it other than acres of trees and ponds. Before I got home late this evening, I hear about Kayla and Jay's robbery. Now I'm a little freaked but I've done a full inspection of La Casa de Rose, steak knife in hand, yet I can't help feeling like I would be better protected if I owned a gun.

The thought of carrying around a firearm or even just stashing it in a bedside table has always seemed erroneous to me. My boss has several and leaves them lying around in random places like on the kitchen counter and in his car. I literally tiptoe around them. Maybe I'm in denial, and it's possible the NRA doesn't have it all wrong. I'm sticking with my guns on this one though,[insert rimshot here], and pretty sure it's the safest choice not to own a firearm. I do plan on buying tickets to the gun show though.

I would like to wish my good friend Sara a very Happy Birthday and the following is for you!
