Walked into work on Friday to find out that our theatre needed to be at a booth set up for MICA's community involvement fair.  I had 30 minutes to check the email and voice mail, throw marketing material into a box, grab mailing lists, and make a poster.  Good thing it's not the first time we've had a "You have 12 seconds to make this work" moment, so I had a few things on file.

The fair was long and slightly under whelming.  By the time I got back I was hungry and had to pee very badly.  Plus it was my normal time to scoot and I had to then do all the regular work for the day.  The program was in a confusing jumble so I had to smooth out a path for how I was going to work on it Monday.  Good thing this one is getting a head start well before the due date.

My day was long, and I was more grumpy by the time I got home.  But I sold the Teacup feeder and light on Etsy so that cheered me up.  Of course I'm not allowed to stay happy for long.  The sub pump we just had replaced came on last night as it rained and then would not stop running.  We wiggled the floater and it doesn't seem to be stuck.  So I wonder if the trigger switch is bad or something.  It looks like we will need to call Ernie back out here to look at his work.  I think the fact he didn't clean the pit out might have something to do with it too.  Anybody have other ideas I'd love to hear them!

BTW: On the house front, let's just say we are looking for some place else to call our second home.

It's been a while since I have posted one of these.  Plus it is a nice break from the ever pending house stuff!

• Wylde Ivy Brown Sugar Lotion - An olive based lotion where a little goes a long way.  At first I didn't care too much for the base but it grew on me.  You can smell the sugar but it is not over powering.
• Adoration Soaps
  • Ginger Fresh - A sample that came with my order.  First soap I ever tried from them.  Creamy lather but don't smell like anything.
  • Vanilla Spice - Scent was a little stronger then the ginger, but not really vanilla like at all.  Again another sample that is creamy but lacks scent.
  • Pina Colada - Larger sample that came with my order for purchasing five items at once.  Now we have an item that smells of something!  Very delicate colada scent.

Man seriously, when it rains it pours.  Thursday night one of my wedding bands that is sottered onto my engagement band came unattached.  That is never supposed to happen, ever.  So I went to go get it repaired at the jeweler only to find that Whitehall is going bankrupt and having a liquidation sale.  Aw crap.  So now I have to send it out on my own to this warranty company and after my plans expire I will never be able to cover my items under a service plan again.  Double crap.

Friday morning we were very busy with the plumbers so Scott and I had to go to the apartment complex after I got off work.  We both had a hard day at work, came home to the lawn not being smoothed out from the hole the plumbers made, and generally all around grumpy.  When we got to the Seasons apartments the unit we wanted had already been rented.  So we bit the bullet and had to go with a larger one at a higher cost per month.  It gives us more room to place things but that extra money could have gone to other use.  So we have a hold down since we still don't know how long to make the lease.  We have yet to hear from our lenders to know if we can combat the TBI denial.  Crap in a bucket.

Saturday I volunteered with Lucky Cat at some cat show in Timonium.  Adopting cats is good, crazy people that go to cat shows are, well crazy.  I got stuck working the gate most of the day so I didn't get much snuggly kitty time and duties.  I was looking forward to fluffy bodies cheering me up some.  Oh well.  I had my two terrors to entertain me when I got home.  Crap on a stick?

Today Scott and I are going to visit my mother for her birthday which is this week.  On the way we will see if any of the houses on the back route are up for sale.  For those of you that didn't get the email, we will need all the bodies and trucks we can get for moving day.  October 4th 10am!

Sick of packing.

Sick of repairs.

Sick of neighbors saying they will miss us when they never talk to us.

Sick of Toll Brothers jerking us around.

Sick of mortgage lenders jerking us around.

Just plan sick of it all.

Weekends are times for fun activities and relaxing.  I feel as though we may just be relaxing this weekend.  Scott always seems too pooped to do anything.  There is the Harford Wine Festival, the Renn Faire, Farmer's Market, Wee-cycle Mart, biking, birthdays, lots to choose from. 

I can probably guess what the day will be like.  Whenever the boy feels like getting up, he will read some, play some Spore (a new game Skyler bought for his birthday), help me take items to storage, and do some ASR work.  I will be left to my own devices and the grocery store.  We need more friends that live nearby so my buddy dates don't always have to be planned in advance.

Current Mood:  Sociable

Update: Scratch that!  Scott cleaned the fridge while I was at the store. Then I guilted him into going to the wine festival.  Then we came home and fell asleep for 2 hours after being sun baked and toastie.
