WARNING! If one more person tells me I should just buy a house instead of finding a new place to rent I’m going to kick them in the ding ding! One person actually told me I’m not getting any younger. What does age have to do with buying property? If you can explain that one to me maybe I will buy a house. I know that buying a house is a good investment, it just doesn’t make a lot of sense for me right now. Someday I would like to be a home owner, just not any day soon.

Is there a course you can take for this? I’m thinking it must be a requirement by most financial institutions when buying a rental. The condo we looked at last night was not spacious! If you’ve ever been to my humble abode cut the size in about half. That’s what Bridgette and I looked at last night. It didn’t have a basement. If it had a basement I might have liked it a little more. It had some good points like a dishwasher, water paid, a laundry room and a bigger bathroom than we currently have. Too bad we would have to get rid of at least half of the stuff in the living room just for it to fit in that place. The kitchen was even smaller than the one we currently have. Please God, if you are listing, let me find a place to live. I can’t take much more of the kids next door.
Need a hug
Do you ever have one of those days where you just feel kind of hopeless? That’s how I feel today. I’ve been calling on places for us to live and yes, I know I just started to look, but it’s feeling hopeless. I don’t know if I’m just out of it when it comes to the how much people charge a month, but damn. I just called on a duplex. The man on the phone tells me that he has a few different places that are opening up. I ask him what he charges for rent. One place is $800 the other is $850. No they do not include utilities. This is actually one of the cheaper palaces I have called on. Most have been $900 without utilities. I’ve drove by most of these places. The one I called on today the guy is bat shit crazy if he thinks $800 a month is a good price to charge for rent. I wouldn’t mind paying that much if it included utilities, but damn if I’m going to pay that much for rent I’ll just go buy one of the 100 houses for sale in town. We go look at a condo on Tuesday night. Keep your fingers crossed people, it’s affordable and it includes water. Other than that my crappy mood comes from missing my mom. I know she gets on my nerves, but I can still miss her. I haven’t seen her since before New Years. She’s been in Florida for the winter. I’m just looking forward to her coming home and getting the hell out of this dump.

Definition of Lazy
When you look up lazy in the dictionary there should be a picture of my white trash neighbors. We share an entry way into this shithole I call an apartment with them. Over the last 6 years they have treated this hallway as an extra closet. Over the years I had thought I had seen everything. Many pairs of shoes, boxes with Crismus stuff (I couldn’t make that one up if I tried people!) various vacuum cleaner parts, and a half eaten chocolate doughnut. Today he has left a half drank glass of soda from McDonald’s with the lid mostly off in said hallway. Are you just fucking with me now? Do you know we are looking for another place to live? I really think he thinks of ways to piss me off. Leaving food in the hallway is just plain ass lazy!
Tax advice
I am not a stripper, but today while sitting at my desk I had a thought. Can strippers claim their waxing costs on their taxes as a business expense?
Chloe 1996-2008
Today was a very sad day for my dad. He had to put his beloved dog Chloe to sleep. He called me crying so hard yesterday morning that I couldn’t understand him at times. My dad loved this dog so much and would brag about her to anyone who would listen. One time he told me he loved her so much because she was all three things he ever wanted in a dog all rolled into one. He told me he always wanted a dog that could catch Frisbee’s, like to wear bandanna’s and was a good hunter. He was playing fetch with her yesterday and she blew out an ACL in her leg. She did the same thing a few summers ago and he the vet do surgery on her. This time he said he didn’t want to put her through that again. When he took her to Dr. Hicks today, he was told she was full of tumors. He stayed with her until the morphine kicked in and she was snoring when he left her. Good night Chloe dog.
Public Pooping 101
Believe it or not I have wanted to write a post about this for a long time. There is nothing worse than going into a public restroom and feeling like you are going to be knocked over by a semi of stink. Like death went into the restroom and relieved himself. These are my tips to dropping a deuce in public while being kind to others.
- If there is spray, USE IT! Spray some before going. Definitely spray after going.
- Courtesy flush! Flush as soon as the kids hit the pool. I don’t know why poop doesn’t smell if you flush right away, but I don’t care either. Just flush.
- When you are wiping, if you get crap on your hand, make sure you don’t get it on the toilet paper, stall wall, etc. I can’t tell you how many times this has happened to me.
- Last, but not least, make sure everything goes down. Nobody wants to come in and see your leftovers!
We all poop. Lets try to be kind to each other.
