We've created this blog so that you can follow us on all of our adventures! We want to share our excitement, thoughts and laughter on new places and experiences and of course the inevitable strange and ridiculous predicaments that we will get ourselves into; we are, after all, Mr and Mrs Sollywood.

The Socks
We just came home from work (it is 1am) and found a pair of socks on our front porch. Now I don't mean a sock, that was lost or blew into our yard. No, no. There are two chairs on the porch and on the one farthest from the stairs were two socks (a pair) which had been pulled off (they were inside-out) and left of the chair, as though someone had sat in the other chair to relax and put their feet up. And upon feeling claustasock (when your feet are claustrophobic because of your socks- everyone gets it at night, admit it.) So this person took of their socks while relaxing on our porch and then left them there for us to find. They are too big for me, and too small of Mr. Sollywood. So the gender of this person is unclear. My guess is a male, because of the style. SO if anyone out there has recently trespassed and wants there forgotten socks back, we have them... and will give them back if you just answer this one simple question."WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU DOING ON OUR FRONT PORCH?"

Update in double quick time
So recently the Sollywoods have moved, we are house sitting for our sister and brother-in-law. I now am the proud owner of school debt and a BA! and Mr. Sollywood is a spring semester away from having both of those lovely assets as well! It is very exciting to be done school (and almost done school). The process has been a long one for both of us, but we are finally done the first leg. Mr. Sollywood wants to be a social worker so there is more school for him. And I would like to be in public relations, so potentially no more school!?! hahah. We are also one interview away from being accepted to Korea to teach! Which has been a long harboured dream of ours. If we are accepted we leave mid August.
and Although this isn't an update on anything big... being done school means that I can read whatever I like and not feel the gnawing guilt. This last year of school left me wanting to read so many books and not having time to do so. But I have started enjoyment reading once again! So far I have read Little Women and Little Men (I thought I would start with ones I knew I loved.) and now I am on to Animal Farm... I am getting the feeling I have read this one before too, but I don't remember enough of it to be sure. But I picked it up for $1.50 in great condition. Mr. Sollywood and I volunteered at a book riot a couple of days ago and got first dibs. I now have a lot of books. hahah (to those who helped us move I hear your groans of 'no more books') But the money went to the local Women's Shelter!
Mr. Sollywood and I are still working but we want different jobs so tomorrow is job hunting day. The ones we have are just a little stale now. Transient much?
