WE'RE NOT HOMELESS ANYMORE

So we've found a house and are moving in this Friday. I'm so excited!!!!!!!!! Whoo hoo! Where we are now cuts down the travel to work by half, barely any traffic, and it's our own private house. Yay!!!!!!!

It's a 3 bed 1.5 bath with a hugeeeee yard. I mean, it's like half the size of a parking lot. No. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating at all. We've got all almost new black appliances, with an induction stove top (which is sooo dope.) My sister has one at her house and that's the only time I've ever used it so I'm excited to cook our 1st meal on there. There's alot of cabinet space (we sure need it) and storage closets around the house period.

The living/dining room is hugeee. Actor says it's his favorite part of the house. I think it's mine too for now until we change a couple of things around. We're gonna make the place look like every room is our favorite. lol. I'm excited for what we're gonna do to each room.

We haven't packed yet. I know it's horrible but hey, we weren't gonna pack until we were sure that we got a place. Cuz we were gonna extend our lease at the apt. if we didn't, and there's no point in packing & unpacking. We also gotta prime the wall that we painted in the living room.

I just thought about something too: I've never taken pix of the apt. Aww man! It's all messy now that we're moving. I might still try to tighten up a little bit so I can take pix so we can remember what our 1st apt. looked like 50 years down the line.

I'll keep ya updated on the move & transition into our wonderful new abode :-)

Until then,
Hanh

NO THANKS. WE'LL PASS

Updates of random happenings & events:



~ Brando's getting bigger. We went to the vet on Saturday & he's 17.6 lbs now. Chunky monkey!


~ Our friend had a bbq at the park for her birthday on Sunday. And how about we totally didn't consider the "park" part cuz everybody had their dog there & we left Brando at home. We felt really bad :-(


~ The party was soooo fun! We had meat on a stick, burgers, chips & dips & countless other edibles. Everyone shared 2 BB guns & shot at each other. lol. We're not violent ppl I swear! No seriously, it was a tiny tiny plastic bullet. Didn't hurt at all. We placed cups on the table as targets too. I (& Actor) found out that I had a great (almost perfect of course) shot *evil chuckle*

~ We're moving at the end of this month to live closer to our jobs. Ergoooo, we've been house hunting for like 3 months; to no avail might I add. We've got specifics in mind & nothing has proven worthy as of yet. So you know, I've been looking through Craigslist, AJC homefinder, etc. etc. Tell me why there are so many scammers on Craigslist? Oh my God! People are so desperate & crazy!!!!!

This one guy (that I didn't even email) emailed me with the subject of "Re: Interested in renting home" Ummm, I'm sorry? I didn't even email you you dumb ass! He then goes on to say that he lives in Switzerland (or some other country that I can't remember right now) & will mail me the keys to check out the house if I fill out this "application" & email it back to him. On the application? Your name, address, number, social security #... etc etc. I was like damnnnn, do you want a sample of my urine too? And my blood type while you're at it? Stupid idiots! Go scam some other sped. I wish I knew which ad he posted on there so I can flag it & tell the cops to trace it & arrest him. Ughh *disgusted*

And then my friend showed me an ad from Creative Loafing that sounded nice (on paper only of course.) 2 beds 1 bath, all utilities included, washer & dryer, cable; basically the works for $800/mth. I was very skeptical cuz you know, if it sounds too good to be true, then yea... But me being an optimist & also a hardhead went ahead & called them anyway.

*Ring ring Ring ring*

"Hello"
"Hello?" "Yes I saw your ad in CL & wanted to know if you still had that home available?"

(Thick country incoherent accent. Sounded like a late 50s, early 60s woman)
"What? Oh yea, it is. It's got *insert run down of stats here. For 3 minutes long might I add*
"Oh ok, that sounds good. Do you have any pictures that you can email me?"
"Pictures?! We don't take pictures honey"

*silence pause; me taking the cell phone from my ear & looking at it like huh? Did I hear that right?*

"Sooo... you don't have any pictures of it that I can see?"
"No, we don't take pictures around here"
"Oh ok............. Can you give me your address so we can mapquest it to see how far it is from where we are?"
"Well, you take so & so exit to so & so. Turn right at the Chevron, wait, is it an Exxon? I don't know, one of them gas stations. *insert her husband talking all country & loud in the background telling her the directions to tell me* Well here, talk to my husband. He'll tell ya.

*Insert phone passing here*
*Insert me not listening here*

"Hello! HELLO! Ok, so you take *insert the same incoherent rambling that she just told me here*

*Insert me trying so hard not to hang up on them here*

"Hello! Yea, can you just give me the address there? I'll find it."
"Welll, I just told you how to get here. You just *insert same incoherent directions here*

WAIT

STOP

WHY THE HELL AM I STILL ON THE PHONE?

You know why? Cuz I'm full of foolishness that's why. lol. It was amusing & entertaining to me. So I was like "Uh huh, uh huh..." *3 minutes later* "Well, that sounds too far out for us. Thanks for your time though."

"So when are you coming to look at it?"
"I'm not. It's too far. Thank you. Bye bye." *click*

That was Monday. Tell me why they've called back 4 times since then! Twice while I was at work, once last night AT 11PM!!! And just called & left a voicemail as I type. This very moment.

Last night they called from their cell phone (Oh my god they have a cell phone? *gasps*) and I was away from my phone. Bre was gonna answer it but it stop ringing so he called back. We didn't know who's number it was but as soon as I heard that country accent I died laughing and did the cut throat sign to Bre like "No! Uh uh"

He (being as full of crap as I am) persues the conversation. He lets her give him the run down of the stats again *insert a funny look from him here* then said "Well, it's kind of late, my girlfriend is asleep. But I'll let her know & tell her to call you tomorrow. K bye."

*Our eyes light up* (I always know when he has something funny to tell me. I get excited then both our eyes light up like "Guess what just happened?"

"So... what'd she say?"
"She said... the stats of the house of course, and that we can't drink alcohol or do illegal drugs because they're living in the basement & are in recovery so..."

*insert both of us dying of laughter, tears running down my face*

WAIT

WHAT?!

You want us to rent your house out with you living in the basement?!

And you're both going through recovery?

OH. MY. GOD!!!!

*dying as I type this*

Um... No thanks. We'll pass.
