so yes i haven't blogged in a while. we have been unbelievably busy lately. Evan's parents came to AZ, we moved last friday in the 110 degree heat (which really wasn't all that bad). On saturday the toilet overflowed and on sunday we found out that the evil tree out front crushed our sewer pipe leading from the house out to the city main. We are still in the process of finding out who has to pay for that. Supposedly it isn't going to be us...fingers crossed. They will have to dig up the front yard to bypass the tree roots and old pipe to lay new sewer pipe. OK by me. Today I should be getting a quote for the removal of that tree. We were talking about getting rid of it before any sewer fiasco because it is a leaf/twig/berry/bird/birdpoo mecca all over our yard. It is just too big for the small area its growing in, and I dont want my foundation/roofline to get ruined either. I feel a little bad for wanting to kill a tree but hopefully i can re-plant a smaller more manageable one later on.
Let's see, what else? Evan met the "weird" neighbor. We got our new washer and dryer...which are AWESOME. SO BIG on the inside. And the dryer has so many fancy buttons and digital displays. It even has a light inside so you dont have to blindly search for socks. We got the pool up and running. Stinky does not like to swim. We got some new blinds too.
The only reason I have internet today is because we're moving the computer from the apt to the house. Hopefully we'll be up and running with internet in a day or so.
This week I got a call from Jennifer (former co-worker). She called to let me know that our old boss died of a heart attack on a golf on Jun 27. We are both glad we don't work there anymore because it would be too difficult to feign sadness over a man that pretty much made every day of our 1.5 years there a living hell. Talk about a manager that couldn't manage. And the sexually inappropriate comments!! It was the kind of stuff you'd hear about in the news but you wouldn't think it really happened to normal people. At least his young daughter will never find out how he treated us and talked to us.
I used to blog about that office but that was in an old blog that has long since been deleted. What will April and her brood of illegitimate kids do now? She can't call in sick every other friday if a new manager comes in. Will Cara still be able to be the biggest bitch that ever roamed the planet? And Flo...she won't be able to take months off at a time for her "injuries" anymore. That office is so screwed now. It has been a long time coming. Karma is a bitch, isn't it?
Well that is most of what has transpired here in the last two weeks. I'm off to grocery shop and make one of Dave Lieberman's grill recipes...yum! Later, all!
