All over the PLACE

So everyday i think..."OK i will get it together and have a plan for: work, home, packing, cleaning, making appointments that i need to, and things like that." and everyday it all falls apart before my feet even touch the ground! Work especially! Nothing goes according to plan because for that to happen the plan needs to at least have a shape already!

It seems like all my energy goes into nothing....at the end of the day i feel like i actually ended up deeper in the black hole! I'm not entirely upset about it....I'm just wondering how it happens. how do you actually go backwards?

Well all i know is TODAY will be the day i get it under control. And by under control i mean I'll try to get a handle on at least 2 things. Hey nothing wrong with baby steps right? Right!

Well i sure hope so.

FRIDAY!!! So i some how got suckered into counting fish heads tomorrow....well we don't actually count fish heads but....anyways. OT sounded good....till i just realized that i have to wake up early on Saturday....and no shopping or breakfast will be happening. What has the world come to!?

But my night tonight should be wicked fun!! I so have to make sure we get a photo standing by the door! it all makes sense to me! Even if it doesn't to you!

Ok i have to actually work....is that what they pay me for?

Have a great weekend!

Welcome...Gun show ahead...Gem show below

Would you ever think of putting a Gun show and a Gem show together? But the more i think about it the more logical it seems. The husbands are at the Gun show while the Wives are at the Gem show......

My weekend was awesome as expected. It started out with a fat cat stuck under a porch. Dang cat! Then i hung out with my mom! She made me some yummy JTs! Then i went to The Yard Dogs Roadshow! Awesome! Double awesome was getting my hair cut and the people i went with! All fun and super good looking! The Yard Dogs were awesome have i said this b/c i feel i need to! Just super awesome and lots of fun!!

Then Sunday breakfast with two very good friends.......then.......THE GEM SHOW, GEM SHOW, GGGGGGGGGEM SHOW!!! I bought tons of fun super fun stuff! My mom got stuff! My sis got stuff! and Her husband got stuff! Hooray for stuff! Then we had YUMMY lunch for my b-day & my sis's husbands b-day but the mac & cheese pizza was more for me. I LOVE my ELVIS apron & Hot plate holder!! ELVIS FOREVER! Can't wait for my own apartment to use them in! Also my sweater is sweet! Fun Fun!!

Then my mom and i scored some neat Avon stuff! SCORE! Even if the store is ghetto and the workers are super lazy and RUDE! Very RUDE!! We agreed that the items we wanted to purchase could NOT be left behind. Dang Double Dang.

Then i returned home to my over worked Honey to watch a movie and go to sleep!

Now here we are at Monday....what does this week hold? Shall we sit tight and find out? Sure why not!

Hello Friend.

So last night was super fun! OH NO......Oh well....i just remembered that I forgot to take a peanut butter peanut chip peanut butter filled cookie this morning which means no hope of getting one b/c I'm sure the cookie monster took them all if he remembered. Oh well....back to the point....

Last night was super fun!! Crocheting, food, scarves, cookies (the above mentioned PB PB chip PB filled ones), and good people! My sisters friend is A. Super cute, B. Super nice, & C. a fast learner! (which may mean she is super smart....) She was crocheting on her own in no time! The fastest i have seen! I have 5 triangles left to make and then i start the putting them together mind field! Why did i decide it would be neat to make a 72 piece blanket? O'well I'm already here no turning back now! (I suppose this maybe slightly what quilters feel like....all those pieces......needing putting together.)

Today supposedly we will meet the PL's Girlfriend! I hope so! And i hope he knows who he is picking by the end of the week so we know if we need to keep looking or not! Also if we need to start planning our future furniture buying or not! It would be nice to be able to know when and where i can start picturing my things being for more then a few months at a time!

Honestly these past few years i have felt bad for all my "storage" items! Who am i to banish them? So sad they might not like me once i finally release them from their prison. They might decide to abandon ship! I feel really bad for the tortured ones! the ones that i would take out for a month or so only to banish them once again! How they must feel like i was just messing with their emotions! I love you STUFF!!

Sad i wont be seeing the Mom tonight. :o( But cheer up i hope to see her Saturday or Friday...i will definitely see her on Sunday (GGGGGGGEM SHOW!)!!

Wow my posts have been long and i don't even drink caffeinated beverages or use much sugar...

Alright I'll zip it now.

Also the link is permanently placed on the left hand side of my blog!

Everything mushed together

The perspective landlord (PL from hence fourth) had to cancel last night. I'm a little steamed not boiled at the Honey b/c the PL is majorly concerned that the place wont be big enough for us. The #1 reason i believe is b/c when we were walking through the place Honey had to go on and on about how i would take up all the closet space.....and the space under the bed....and this space......and that space! (OK i am exaggerating a bit but ugh.....if only we knew every word we said would be held against us in the court of PL!) PL says we are at the top of his list....i do hope the list is short....like we are the only ones on it short.

He has called our references so I'm guessing that he is starting with us and if he likes us he will end with us and we will all live happily ever after.....

Tonight is CROCHET NIGHT!!! (with a chance of Taco Loco!!) I will also be meeting my sisters super cute ex-co-worker.....well she is her friend i suppose so i will hence fourth refer to her as my sisters super cute friend. Maybe i will actually get somewhere on my blanket! Also i am getting a trim. My hair is getting a bit wolverine esq on the sides. My honey claims he likes it....i claim if he does indeed like it, it's b/c he likes wolverine.

My quads are OK....not great but OK. Mama hugs are awesome....to bad we don't have a microwave up stairs at work.....and i doubt i will be brave enough to go down stairs and use that microwave. Besides the fact that i might fall on the slippery floor on my way too it....it's just too risky to stand around waiting for the hug with people watching me.....nope no down stairs microwave for me.

This weekend is going to be a busy but fun one! And the plans i have made will actually stick because the people i made them with are reliable! Yippee for reliable! But sadly tomorrow night i was going to hang out with my mom but now tomorrow is the new night to meet with the PL & his girlfriend.....But I'm thinking that if my mom is in a shopping mood I could have her meet me at the.....oh never mind there wont be enough time and i don't want to cut her time short for the PL. Ugh. I WANT MY MOM!!! Well i suppose i will hang out with her this weekend. Well Sunday for sure.

I don't think there is anything else to spill right now so i guess I'll chat some more tomorrow.

Plans.

So why is it an impossible feat to get plans made with more then one person being involved? I am trying to make plans this weekend with two friends for either lunch or dinner. They both express interest in wanting to go and then I e-mail, I text, I call, I voicemail and NO one gets back to me!!! Well ok they get back to me but this is what i ask "would you like to do lunch or dinner and what day/time works best for you?" Response: "either works for me." So then i set a time thinking OK i HAVE to be the one to make the decision!! Didn't work! So finally i wrote a pleading message and got a response. I know that people are busy so I'm not saying that my friends suck I'm just wondering why it is so hard!!?!!



I know my sis runs into the same problems people will make plans then not communicate and everything goes down hill from there! AND it's only trying to get 3 people together (2 really b/c I'm one of the 3)! So again I ask why so hard?



On that note I am NOT planning squat for my b-day this year. No dinner, no trying to get people together....no nothing I'm tired of always planning having people bale or just never respond. This year i will avoid all the disappointment by not setting myself up for it!! SO if you want to have dinner with me for my b-day call me plan something yourself cause I am too old to keep trying!!

Not saying all my friends suck just saying it's too hard! (and yeah all my friends SUCK....bahahahahaaaa i kid i joke)

So also as mentioned above i am going to be 27 in 12 1/2 days!! 2 7

OK this almost 27 year old is done you talk now!

VIA SOCCER

So soccer last night was totally awesome!! Not only was it fun but it was really a good work out!! My sis's husband is really good! He is also very fast!! It's interesting to see someone in a different setting. I'm use to seeing him at picnics and shopping from time to time. He's an easy going guy so to see him kicking some butt on the soccer field is totally neat! My mom and i felt bad b/c we were trying to explain to him how fast and awesome he is but it just sounded all wrong when we were saying it! :o( B/c we said you would never know he was that fast! and that could be taken the wrong way and how it was meant was that looking at how laid back and easy going he is you just don't picture this fast ball kicking machine! So i hope he knew what we meant!!

Also i hope i can play some more b/c that would be SWEET!

My sis drew me an awesome doodle and when i go home for lunch i will try to remember to bring it back with me so i can scan it and post it!

ok this is a shorty not to be confused with a smallie.

A story unfolding

So there is a 2 Bedroom apartment for rent in a mansion. In the add it states that the master bedroom is "average" size. This lead me into a whole story about the apartment....here it is for your entertainment:

Well the apartment use to house the servants of the mansion b/c why would you build an "average" size anything for yourself or guests? Not only did it house servants but there were 8 housed there 4 to a bedroom. In my mind (with my sisters help) the servants got whipped....and in my mind the next tenants would get midnight calls to make snacks in the main kitchen out of old habits through the intercom that was conveniently still active. "Reginald can you bring me my slippers please!"

And if i were to live there they would be excited to have a Mexican renting from them! I mean think of all the manual labor a Mexican might do in exchange for boarding!? My sis suggested i could make tips off the deal to off set the cost of living there. by the way the 2 bedroom can be yours for 1350$ a month....it has a private entrance!

A guide if you will...

So here is a list of things you should try to avoid while showing an apartment:



- The electric being turned off... i.e. no lights to show the dank bathroom or the dank kitchen.

- Not airing the place out... especially if the previous tenant had any kind of animal or smoked!! air it out!!!

- Not vacuuming the floors... no one wants to see what the previous tenant had living under the roof with them if you catch my drift!

- Doors that don't quite open right... how much am i paying for this place with a dicey door?

- Not showing up on time... What does that say about you Mr. 15-20 minutes late showing us an apartment with names written on your hand!

These are all things to avoid if you want to attract the proper tenants.

The apartment hunting continues...tonight honey will be looking at 3 places whilst i play soccer!! VIA SOCCER!!! Why does apartment hunting feel like going on a series of blind scary dates? On the plus side we have plenty of time to find the right place and not just the "OK fine" place. Also moving out wont be a one day to get it all done deal... Not that we plan to linger just that it's nice to not be crunched for time. But since we packed up and moved from state to state in one day i think we can do it from town to town. Also we have a free moving truck to use through our storage unit! Awesome!! So it really isn't that bad....right?

Speaking of soccer....i can't wait to PLAY tonight!! With other human beings!! I hope i don't suck too much as it's been quite sometime since i played but....it will still be super fun!! :o)

Also i should mention that i use to be a Candy Stealing Punk. (that is for you sis)

Thank you and good day/night.

Thought i would share

The below post is the worlds most awful bathroom ever!!! and it can be yours for 825$ a month! So you can tell last night was another bad apartment hunting trip! We looked at a place that was a split twin. The bottom was a tiny one bedroom with no closets and no storage in the bathroom. The top was a scary two bedroom with the worlds worst bathroom AND it had cockroach poo! Yum!!

Then we looked at more over priced lofts! These were fake lofts and stupid lofts! STUPID! I didn't get to see my mom or sister :o(! Due to the fact that i kept getting LOST!! and Traffic! Nightmare all of it!!! We did manage to have a good dinner. And i am well on my way through book 4!!

This weekend i have not planned much. So i can't sit here and tell you lots of things only to contradict myself on Monday!!

FYI this did not feel like a 4 day week! It felt like a 100 day week!

When you tell me to "HURRY UP i need this information RIGHT away!!" So i hurry up drop everything and I'm in the middle of research then you say "Don't go crazy if it's taking too long just forget it." WHAT am i supposed to do with that?? HUH?

Sorry HURRY up Friday! But um don't go crazy....just forget it.

Worlds worst bathroom.

Vertigo...here i go!

Well today started out with some Vertigo that i still haven't shaken all the way off...at least i have a reason for being unbalanced today! Last night we looked at the most AWFUL place EVER!! I like to think the stench is the reason for my Vertigo today! It smelled SOOOOO bad! So bad!! The whole place was boarder line poverty but the guy was asking 900-1000$!!! We only looked at it b/c it is between both our jobs...even though i still didn't want to look at it the price was too much. IT WAS SCARY!!

The basement was worse then a child molester basement...it was like 4 feet tall and sort of like see this dank pit....we'll call it a basement!! I would never store anything down there! The other unit had the washer & dryer in the dank pit!! No way i would be going to a laundromat!! Besides the place was nicely located in the arm pit of Ambler!! Scary!!

We did however find a neat tea shop. The people there were a little less scary then the apartment but not much. They did have yummy tea and they were nice (even if they were creepy). We ate at a very expensive very empty Mexican place. The food was good but it was making my tummy ache.....it was very strange.

The whole night was strange.....ALSO i love how you tell someone (OK my honey) "I don't know where i am so i am going to follow you home..." Then they are doing good making sure you are behind them then ONE light they HAVE to turn at as it's turning red! So your separated! they call...."you know where you are right?" Um NO that would be why i am following you!! OY!!

See how fun and interesting my life is!? SO much so! hahahahaaa

OK look be happy it's Thursday!! (tomorrow is FRIDAY!)

"It's like Abercrombie & Fitch is making people now!"

The title is my all time favorite line now! I saw the rocker last night, it was pretty darn funny. It also had plenty of other witty lines....like "do you know what a PILS is? Person I'd Like to Stab!" It was nice to like a movie for once.

The THREE day weekend was fun! But short... Here is what i did....

Friday i went SHOPPING! I went to Kohls, Jo-Anns, & Target! (Side note: Stupid Target closes too soon in Q-town!) Also I had Chick-fil-a those waffle fries are so YUMMY!!

Saturday my honey and i feel in love with an apartment (read studio or ridiculously over priced one bedroom!). But the place is shiny and new! With a gym and security why did it have to be so nice!?! Then we looked at a place that was total CRAP! Total overpriced Crap! 4 AC units right outside the bedroom window!? So our apartment hunt continues.

Sunday I met my sister with warm yummy fries in my hand! We went to COSTCO for yummy desserts for the picnic! Excuse me the non-picnic picnic. It was like a unbirthday. So at the un-picnic my cousin gave me the 4th and final book in the series....which may have been a mistake b/c i wanted to just start reading it right there and then!!! Already the book is pissing me off yet i still can't put it down!! The non-picnic was super fun! With yummy desserts!!

Monday I met my sister early in the morning at rice's flea market! We got lots and lots of neat and cheap items and we were in and out before the crowds started showing up!! Yippy for us! I got 2 belts, 5 head bands, 1 purse, 1 t-shirt, 2 star necklace & bracelet sets, an Elvis key, 6 cards, & a really soft cute brown sweater!! Everything was super cheap and it was awesome!! Then when i got home my honey sugar lump and i went to fruit & veggie stands to get food for the week! After that i read and napped a bit. Then we had dinner which included some very yummy corn on the cob! After dinner i was reading and to remedy the situation my honey suggested we go see a movie or get ice cream. We did both! (the situation only needed to be remedied from my honeys point of view i was fine with reading forever!)

And there is my three day weekend.....don't you feel like it happened to you?
