I hurt. No, ache. My body is in various stages of hating me right now and I'm sure if it were sentient, it would take much glee in it. As you may know I'm in the middle of various projects for myself and the Casa. I have my yearly shindig I do at Christmas this weekend which is the main catalyst for amping up my project schedule. My floor for my garage came in Friday. I was a little ancy that it wouldn't come in in time to be put down before said shindig. The neighborhood gestapo has … [Read more...]
They always start small
Last weekend I was in my garage. In fact, I've been working on my garage for some time, mostly on the weekends when I have the time for it. Most things I want to do for Casa Primer have been 'baking' in my head for some time. Getting the garage in order before it became a frightening behemoth of 'please, make it go away' was always the plan, I just didn't know exactly how I was going to do it. What I needed was something to take advantage of the three free walls I had so that I could store … [Read more...]
Soaking Up the Sun
My mom made the observation that the past two weekends I have been incredibly productive. As I have some extra cash that I can spend, I've been able to make real progress on some of my To Do Lists for Casa Primer. I think it actually purred in appreciation Sunday night. Least I hope it did. I don't own a cat. Anyway, Saturday morning I got up and went outside after my usual morning fixing up. I had some herb plants that I picked up the day before that I needed to transplant, the yard … [Read more...]
Remodel
I left work Friday later than I planned, even with the 'ish' tacked onto the approximate time I'm leaving that stands for 'plus 30 min.' That's because my boss had more comments on a document I had submitted and corrected [per his wanted corrections] twice previously that same day. We won't go there apart from stating that I was there addressing comments for various things [and being tagged for my cell bill while in Spain..but I won't go there either..this is not a work rant]. I left work … [Read more...]
The Bitch Likes to Play
So once again, I'm completely ignored. I didn't even get a call back from DR Horton in respect to our issue. Heck, after he got off the phone with an irate parental unit, he was singing a slightly different tune. They'll open the wall to try and trace the leak, but they were trying to get away with we'd be left to do something about it. The parental unit had to resort being an all out bitch, including asking via our Home Owner's Association who else has had issues with DR Horton's service … [Read more...]
Casa Primer, this Love's for you
Dear Casa Primer, I know you don't hear me tell you how much I adore you, but I do. You know I do baby. I got you a kick ass wardrobe, look after you, you know, do what baby's mamas are supposed to do. But I just wanted to tell you I love you, you and I, we're soul mates. I heart you Casa Primer [even though I'm using you for tax breaks, s'ok cause we're cool like that, right? I'll get you a nice pressure wash from all the money you got for me] It's in my soul, baby Chelle … [Read more...]
Casa de Chelle Saga Remake
Because, you know, farking up the first time wasn't a hoot and remakes are all the rage. The parental unit and I have been talking here of late about the mortgage. We got jacked..plain and simple. They used the fact that we were down to the wire and abused my newness to the whole thing and we got jacked. And I don't hesitate to bad mouth Lakeland Regional Mortgage as a bunch of incompetent addled brained twits, because they are. Mom found something that would be advantageous to both our … [Read more...]
It was worth it
It was near 10:30 when Mom walked in the door. We hadn't seen each other in a week. Sure, we talked on the phone here and there, but for 3 days that last week, I was in training. It felt wierd, to not have talked to her and say at least Hi every day. Funny the things you get used to. Friday was a long day. I was up at 3 am, I had a two hour drive ahead of me and I had to be at my destination at 6. Pleasant drive. It was getting back that was a bit hard, I started crashing. It seemed the … [Read more...]
A Familia de Chelle Effigy
A few days back I went to my old apartment complex to pay the money that I owed them. I did that on my lunch break. I stepped in and the staffie that is the only reason I stayed for as long as I did was talking with Bitzilla. They hushed instantly. Bitzilla spoke up and asked if she could help me as if she didn't know who I was, or had an idea of what I wanted. "I'm here to give youa check" Guess how quickly Bitzilla went from wannabe uber bitca to fully accommodating? Well of … [Read more...]
Exsqueeze me, baking powder?
My apartment complex is keeping my deposit and charging an extra 400 buck to replace carpet citing filtration stains. WTF? Granted I knew the spot where my tower was would need some serious cleaning/possible replacement...but I have -never- been in a place where a mark like that was left. Any one you guys have a mark [like it was outlined with permanent marker] from your towers??? They want it by the end of the month....I think not. … [Read more...]
