We also had an interesting event occur in our safe little neighborhood this weekend. After watching a CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) marathon on Spike TV Saturday, we were definitely in criminal mentality! It all started when we were going to head out to get something to eat, and Mike couldn't find his wallet, which is not the first time!! So, I drove to dinner & took my wallet to pay for dinner. When we got home, we turned the house upside down looking for his wallet, searched his truck, and anywhere we could think of. After searching for like 4 hours, we finally gave up & decided to go to bed. We were lying in bed & Mike said, "I'm gonna go check outside one more time. There is something I need to check on." He comes back inside & says, "Sarah, you need to come look at this!" Mind you it is like 11:30 at night, so I get up & go outside with him, flashlight & all. He takes me to this island outside of our house with trees & bushes (a common area with foliage) to show me some colored papers & stuff he had seen earlier in the day but thought nothing of at the time. It was a birthday card with a check, a social security card, several lunch boxes, other stuff from a car that was determined invaluable to the culprits. SO, we concluded that the people who took this stuff & stashed the unnecessary items in the bushes probably also stole Mike's wallet from his truck.
We know, he should have locked his doors & not left his wallet in the truck overnight, but it happened! So we called the police at 11:35 & they show up around 12:30 and we get in bed around 1:00 am to turn around and get up at 6:30 am! Fun times!!
On another note, I attended Jury Duty for the first time today, and it was actually very interesting. I had to state my name, age, occupation, and spouse's occupation to the attorneys for all the cases we MIGHT be a part of the jury for. I ended up not being selected today after being there from 9-3: sitting & waiting ALOT and sitting through 2 jury selections without being chosen! I have to return tomorrow at 9:30 to sit & wait some more to see if they select me for a case tomorrow. I kind of want to be selected because the judicial process is interesting, and then again, there are other more productive things I can find to do with my time! I do think I will take a People magazine tomorrow for some mindless reading during my periods of waiting to see if the court will need my service! It is my civic duty!!! It did kind of make me want a job where I wear a business suit everyday & look really important and work in downtown, historic Charleston...it was a really nice day out today & I loved being in historic Charleston!
e are just a few of the new things going on in my life :)
