Yard work, creepy neighbours and studying

This is what my weekend has been about.
Friday night my mom and I went for a walk because it was SO beautiful here...+16, sunny and WARM! I am so excited that summer is on its way and the snow is (almost) all gone...just a few little piles on yards here and there.
Saturday it was again really, really nice - I think it was supposed to get to +21 but I don't think it got quite that warm. In the morning, my mom and I set out to rake up all the dead grass in our front yard that was hiding under the snow for the past 5 ish months. I'm not HUGE on yard work, but it was actually ok! I think it was made better because I could be outside in a t-shirt for the first time in MONTHS. My mom and I have serious allergies to grass etc. so she bought these dorky masks we wore while we were raking. I felt like such a geek.
What I would like to know though is what the heck attracks WEIRDO neighbours to me. When I lived in Carman I had the weirdest, creepiest neighbour (who I was about 99% positive had a grow up). He and the other old man who lived there were always outside watching me and/or whoever was outside (including one of my youth who used to mow my lawn). SCARY! And now I have ANOTHER weird neighbour here. Not AS creepy, maybe just dirty. He walks around staring at whoever comes outside with just a button up sweater with no shirt underneath, smoking. He always seems to be conveniently outside when my mom or I am outside and strikes up conversation. My mom says he's just being friendly, I say he's really odd.
Other than going to church this morning with my brother and talking to Lisa on the phone (which was AWESOME!), I studied. My first exam for my night class is this Tuesday night and considering that I A) haven't written an exam in 4 years and B) HATE exams and usually freeze up just before them, I'm studying my little butt off. I know its only 1 chapter, but I'm really nervous about it. So whoever reads this before Tuesday, pray for me at 6:30 pm Sask. time that night!
This week will be busy, I have a lot of errands to run, homework and the exam. Plus Grey's and Ugly Betty are FINALLY going to be new ones after a whole month of re-runs!
