curious-me's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The good, the bad and...the rest This is my day��.so far. (Written at 8:50am) Bad: Having to wake up early after staying up way too late. So it�s been a week since I last updated. Not sure why. Lord knows I�ve been on the computer enough at home. Sometimes I just don�t have the motivation to put together an entry and sometimes my entries feel forced and I don�t like that. I�ve pretty much had it with our apartment. Like a soon to be ex boyfriend I feel my feelings for my apartment slipping away. I no longer care if there is grime on the side of the stove or if the front hallway carpet hasn�t had a good cleaning in months. I want to get away from it. As annoying as our downstairs neighbours are I am coming to appreciate the part they are playing in our lives. They are the catalyst that is forcing us to actually take steps in looking for a house. Granted it�s taken the hubby a helluva lot longer than it�s taken me! And even so he�s in no rush to move like I am. The man is too damn methodical some times even though I like to call it procrastination. We had an �incident� on Monday night. Keith and I both went to bed at 11. The neighbours, as usual, had their music up fairly loud. It only seemed to get louder as we tried to fall asleep. Finally at 1am we could take it no more. While the hubby sat there stewing I started throwing on clothes cause this passive aggressive girl was ready for a confrontation. We both went down and banged on the front door for no word of a lie over 5 minutes. We could look through their living room window and see them watching a movie THAT�S how loud their tv was! Finally their dog heard us and the guy came to the door (2 girls and a guy live there). We told him it was too loud and he said he had turned it down. I then said that we both had to be up early Keith at 4am and me at 7am. His response? He told me that he had to be up at 7 as well. WTF? I�m not really sure how he thought that was relevant. That�s nice that you�re blowing your own sleep but don�t� take ours as well! He didn�t even apologize which kind of made me livid. At least apologize for being an ass. Now let�s fast forward to last night shall we! T was over cause originally I had asked her if she wanted to go out to a new bar/restaurant/karaoke opening and she declined cause she was tired. I had warned her that with her saying no I was going to go home get comfy and not consider going out. Guess who changed her mind about being tired?! Yah. But I made her dye my hair and we drank some diet coke and Malibu instead. Anywho somewhere along the way the toilet clogged after T used it but we didn�t notice till we heard this swooshing sound. I ran in and found water all over the carpeted (gross) floor. So I plunged and then threw down some towels. About 5 minutes later I got a knock on the door from the guy downstairs. The water had leaked all over his clean laundry (at least he has washing facilities � fucker). I did apologize though cause really that did suck and I am a nice person. T told me I should have mouthed off to him but that�s just not me. Plus I was a little ashamed at my earlier behaviour when I was home alone and they had their music blaring and I was frustrated with our ever crashing computer I finally thew on a cd, cranked it quite loud and then I may have put on my cowboy boots and stomped�.I mean danced around the living room. It was, of course, this moment that the hubby walked through the door. We had a few words cause he thinks I am egging them on and this will make it worse. I then asked him how it could get worse? They play loud music night and day and we do nothing. He had to agree with that. 1:23 pm The work day is half over � huzzah! I am going to dash out in a few moments and get a coffee to get me through the rest of the day (you can do that when the boss is away!). Ugh wait. I have no badge to get back in the building. Ah well I�ll visit the security officer and get him to �escort� me to my floor � kill a little more time! I was in the reading zone a few minutes ago. I�m reading a new diary (new to me) and I�ve just started digging into the archives and I�m loving it! She�s locked and I finally got around to asking her for her passwords and man I�m glad I did. My co-worker who sits across from me is on lunch right now which means I can type away to my hearts content. My keyboard is loud so when I�m typing an entry (or a long email) I know that she can hear me and must wonder what I�m doing cause it�s obviously not work related! So T and her guy are supposed to be coming over tonight. It started out with us all going out drinking but then I thought it would be nice to have dinner together as well. And voila I am in full menu planning. Aps, dessert the whole 9 yards. Now I just need to get confirmation from T to find out when she�s coming over so I can plan accordingly. I�m not a �whenever girl�. I never did mention that I did indeed see my fireworks last weekend in T dot. It was kind of funny though cause T called to see who was driving and I told her that she (or her guy) could and then she admitted she didn�t� want to. I laughed and told her neither did I! But since she had already committed to do it she had to do the dirty deed. It ended up working great cause her man drove and her and I sat in back and drank the travelers she had brought. And man did I get so smashed off of those few drinks! They were rye and diet coke but still � wow � I was flying! Eventually my buzz did wear off while we were waiting for the fireworks to begin but at least it had kept me warn since again I had to loan out my sweater cause people just don�t think ahead! The fireworks were um�pretty�as far as I could tell anyway. You see when I saw them at this particular place many many years ago they seemed a lot closer cause man they were so far away! I felt kind of bad cause we were forced to pay $15 for parking and then another $30 for drinks for all of us and yah crappy fireworks. But on the way home we did discover an awesome 24 hour restaurant. This place had such good food and reasonable prices. Of course I stuffed myself silly and felt ugh afterwards when we got home at 2am but all in all I would declare it a successful night! Sunday was chillax as I remember it. We picked up T and her guy (hello new bestfriends!) and drove to see C and her guy throw cheese. Yup you read that right. It was some sort of Italian Festival and one of the events was cheese throwing. C�s guy did good but C not so good. But they did end up getting a trophy � him for having the greatest distance when throwing the cheese. The humidity came out full force about an hour before we left so the 4 of us headed back to T�s where I forced her and Keith to get in the pool with me cause I�m sick of swimming alone! The water was on the chilly side but felt great. I never did shake the chill for the rest of the night! Tomorrow is a pool party at my belly dance teacher�s place. It�s supposed to be on the chilly side so I�m guessing there�s gonna be little to no swimming, which sucks big time cause as I may have mentioned once or twice in this here diary I love to swim (um see above)! A�ight I better wrap this up so I can go grab me some java to get through this afternoon! 1:41 p.m. - 2007-07-13 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
