Morning wake up call

Warning: I am going to sound very old in this post.

Last night I returned from vacation. A 10 and one half hour drive followed by some unneeded drama landed me in bed with a magazine, happy to be home. I I lay in bed absorbed in my newest issue of Glamour, I had my shuffle in my ear to block out the noise of my neighbors. They were annoyingly loud given that all I wanted was to unwind. That said, it was Saturday night and the whole is is filled with young twenty-somethings and I grant them their fun nights out, even if the noise inconveniences me.

My neighbors disagree.

This morning I was awake at the all too early hour of 8 o’clock. As I lay in bed deciding whether or not to actually get up, the neighbor two doors down (who also borders the loud house) got on his front porch and started yelling at the loudest volume he could, “TIME TO GET UP! TIME TO GET UP! WE HAVE TO GO TO WORK! TIME TO GET UP! TIME TO GET UP!”

I don’t care if it was Sunday and the man certainly does not work on Sundays. It was hysterical.

Checking in from the beach

The beauty of family vacations is hearing things from your FAMILY like:

  • You’re an ass
  • So that means you’re white trash too?
  • So, um, you’ve never heard of a mirror, right?

Thanks…

My days as a stalker are numbered

That’s right, stalker. I have been furiously stalking a nearby house, a house that will be mine after tomorrow.

I put in the offer in on this house about a month and a half ago, with serious input and support from Wonder Boy. The current owners obviously knew we were fabulous and accepted the offer. And as of tomorrow the stalking stage of the relationship will be over and I will be launched headfirst into the world of home ownership.

The other day Wonder Boy and I drove two friends past the house, in out usual daily stalk where we sit in the street and stare at the house, a thin but steady amount of drool hanging from our mouths. And then the current owners walked out! They saw us – I am surprised they weren’t blinded by the sun’s reflection off our drool – and started laughing as we panicked and drove away.
