Where Have I been?

I've been housesitting this week and working hard, too. I have lots of sessions that I'm working hard to get out so if you're waiting, I promise I'm getting close to finishing.

I walked into the grocery store the other day and noticed that they are moving things around......again. I like knowing where things are when I walk in so now I'll have to re-acquaint myself with the store.

Tonight, a few photographers in the area got together just to hang out. It was a great time to sit around and talk shop or just talk nonsense. Afterwards, some of us wanted to just hang out some more so we all tried driving over to a Starbucks. I ended up missing the entrance into the shopping center so everyone followed me into a private drive just past the strip center. We pulled in there and discussed where we were going to go at that point. Long story short, we ended up staying there to talk. The party ended when a cop showed up with flashing lights and started collecting our IDs and calling in our license plates. We were detained for a few more minutes while he lectured us about obstructing traffic on a private drive, parking on a private drive, etc. Good grief!
On the other hand, I can totally respect the job that police officers do. When they arrive at a situation, they have no idea what's going on or that we're not really trouble makers or how dangerous things can be. He lectured us and we got to leave.
On my way home, I pulled over very quickly because a large spider was crawling around on my windshield, inside. I don't know what it is about spiders in the spring, but I always have at least one right before the summer comes. Hopefully this is the only one.
