I've insulted the universe somewhere along the way.

Today is really slow at work. I knew it would be this way, because I zoomed through a couple of things yesterday. Should have worked a slower pace yesterday, I guess. But the nice thing about having a market research slant to my position is that I can at least spend some of my down time researching and reading industry stuffs when I don't have much else going on. Or, you know, email in a blog post or shop online or whatever.

Davey & I watched The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters the past couple of nights, and MAN, I looooved that documentary. It was like one big Mr. Show sketch. The characters were so off-the-chart crazy and weird and unbelieveable they barely seem like real people. They were caricatures. Only THEY WEREN'T.

Tonight I'm picking up a bed for one of the Euro girls and I will clean up a bit to get ready for their arrival. I haven't been told for sure what day they are arriving, but I assume it will be sometime this weekend or Monday-Tuesday, since school starts next week. Next Thursday & Friday are going to be tough, because David and I will be out of town, and Meredith has to be at work so early, so no one can really take them to school. Oh well. They may just have to take it off and chill out at the pool. I guess I need to ask my mom if she could take them, actually. The school may not look too kindly upon them missing two days.

Oh yeah, so, we haven't had water at the house the past two nights. That's been just TONS of fun. My mom's husband started the work on Sunday, but of course couldn't do any work on it yesterday because of the rain. Wouldn't you know that we'd suddenly need our pipes re-fit, and that's the ONE WEEK of the summer when we've gotten rain of any significance and so therefore he couldn't finish it?

Honestly, I'm so past the house now I don't even care. We have water to drink and a bucket to flush the toilet with, and Meredith's shower is a mile away. It's all par for the course, really. We've practically been camping for over a year and a half now with all the bullshit of that house.

I cannot WAIT TO RENT AGAIN. Dear god, get me out of a place where the maintainence is my responsibility. I really have had it to my eyeballs. As my sister said last night when the washer went out on HER faucet, "Between your house and my house, I feel like it has been a year and a half of house issues." That's because IT HAS BEEN. And it BLOWS.

But I'm sure all you who read this who are either looking for a house or who have gotten a house or who have romanticized this idea won't have ANY problems.

My sister and I have just gotten the shit end of the deal, I guess. Karma hates us.
