Merry Christmas Everyone!!
I like to cook with wine. Sometimes I even add it to the food. W.C.Fields
So my husband took the car, with the carseat... that means I am stranded here today. I could look at it as an opportunity to get a lot of things done that should be done...
or I could just drink another pot of coffee.......
Since this year must have been the Chinese year of the Dung Heap, the Hubby and I have been numbing our pain in the evenings with some Budweiser Select (mmm.....beer...) and watching the Beavis & Butthead: The Mike Judge Collection, from our friends at Netflix. (Good thing we bought that Blockbuster stock earlier this year! Refer to first line....) "The Great Cornholio" is by far still the funniest episode. It made us laugh so hard we almost spilled our beer. And that, would have been tragic. Sometimes ya just got to laugh... even if it is at toliet humor.... heh... heh.... she said "toliet"....

I hate apartment living. Hate isn't even a strong enough word. Last evening the hubby and I realized that this place has us in a pickle, and we aren't liking it. We had planned on taking a 3 month lease, after our lease expires the end of this month. He should be done with his rotations, and we could get out of here by the end of March. However, our apt. complex wants longer leases, so unless we take out a minimum of a 9 month lease, we will probably have to pay "Market Rate" i.e $950 PLUS $100/month "Month to Month" fee, PLUS our $50 for garage, PLUS $30 pet fee!!!!!
It just burns me b/c they have open apts all over this place, and we could probably find a long term stay hotel for much cheaper than that! We are good tenants, and yet they may put us in a situation that we can no possibly afford. So they would rather not get any rent, than give us a deal??? I am going to talk to the soon to be new manager on Thursday afternoon, and hopefully she will give us a deal. Otherwise, anyone want to help us move in January!? Fun, fun, fun.....
