I am super annoyed with my apartment complex (nothing that won’t pass quickly). Last week they put a note on my door saying that everyone in the building needed to take everything off their balcony so that they could do some power washing. Ugh. Whatever! I have a lot of stuff on my balcony. I don’t have all kinds of space to be bringing all of that inside my living room. Also, that stuff isn’t exactly the cleanest since it’s outside all the time and has plants and dirt. GROSS.

Well, I brought in some of the plants and my patio furniture. Then I moved all of the rest of the pots to the middle of the balcony so that they would have room to power wash the walls. FINE. I complied. Two days later they finally did the power washing and I put all of the stuff back outside on the balcony. I rearranged it all and made it look pretty again.

Well last night I got home from work and there was another note on my door. This one said to remove all of the stuff again because now they would be painting today. What? Couldn’t they do that the day after the power washing? Couldn’t they have told me that earlier than half a day’s notice? That really ticked me off. I considered not doing it. What if I was on vacation?

I finally decided to move the stuff, instead of risk it all being painted with overspray. This time I brought all of it in, the furniture AND the pots. I’m spazzed out about having those pots inside my apartment. I just know there are bugs and spiders in those pots and they are going to come out and make a new home in my apartment. This is so WRONG.

OH! And the note said to close all of your blinds because there would be men painting around the windows and on your balconies and it could seem a little intrusive with the blinds open. Now remember this was a note YESTERDAY telling me it would happen TODAY. So I’m sitting in my bedroom checking my email and I hear something outside my window. I open the blinds and there is a man looking right back at me in my window painting. WHAT?

SO ANNOYED!

Anyway, so last night was the first official Game Night, since we quit bowling. We met at Michelle’s house to play LIFE and to have some Turkey Chili that Joe made. Michelle neglected to inform me that the chili had green things in it and I swear I saw onions. What’s up with that? I will admit it was pretty good once I picked aside all the veggie bits.

We played LIFE and it was kind of fun. I got a good crappy career (Insurance Sales), but I had a good salary ($80,000 then $100,000 then $90,000). I was raking in the money left and right, and nothing bad ever happened to me. Eric was doing horrible all throughout the game yet still managed to win, just barely, but it was still a win. Poor Javi… he did so bad.

But seriously, how realistic is this game when all of us ended up with over a million dollars by the end of it? It was kind of funny when we all had to get married and three of the cars had two men in the front seat.

We watched American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, Project Runway, and I got to see the episode of Mad TV with my friend Waide in it. Granted he didn’t have a speaking part or anything big, but you could see him the entire time in the background. It’s still kind of exciting to see someone you know on TV.

Ok so that’s it. I’m finished.
