• So its been
  a wild and wacky week + weekend + week before. (sheesh . . how long has it been
  since I updated?)

   

  Last week
  was especially interesting. 

   

  Lets go
  waaay back to Sunday night (the Sunday before the most recent previous Sunday.)   
  Thaat would be the 16^th. 
  

   

  I come home
  . . . and my neighbor’s front door explodes open just as I’m about to enter the
  house.  (being that it was about midnight
  . . I just about jumped out of my skin.) 
  Her door is directly across from mine . . . so my back was to her. 

  “MEREDITH”.   It was quite possibly the loudest whisper I’d
  ever heard.  I swung around so fast I
  almost hit myself with my purse.  *lol*

  “One of the
  water heaters exploded sometime this evening. 
  My apartment is flooded.  They
  have to come tear the carpet out.  Don’t
  turn any lights on going into your place that might be near that corresponding
  wall.” 

   

                      

   

  I thanked
  her so much for waiting up for me (she really is a sweet girl) .. and ventured
  in. 

  At first
  sight . . nothing seemed amiss. 

  Until I
  walked by the couch. 

   

  My lovely
  leather couch was sitting in a puddle of water. 
  

   

  *sobs*

   

  I grabbed an
  armload of towels, shoved the couch as far out of the way as I possibly could .
  . and threw all my towels down. 
  Thankfully (for me .. not for my neighbor) .. it was *her* water heater
  that blew up . . . there for it was more towards HER apartment . . therefore
  SHE got most of the flooding.  I just got
  some soggy carpet along the couch wall. 
  (mmmm soggy carpet)  anyways  (sorry) 
  heh. 

   

  So after two
  visits with the “heavy maintenance” crew 
  (who actually sign all their notes “Heavy Maintenance” instead of by
  name) . . . my carpet is back to normal. 
  *yay* 

   

  That took me
  to Thursday.  Then Thursday
  happened. 

   

  I was going
  out to my car to refill my water bottle. 
  (I keep spring water in the trunk of my car . . . because I’d rather
  lick my own eyeballs than drink Cleveland
  City water.  bleck) 
  

  So I marched
  myself out to my car . . . stuck the key in the trunk keyhole . . and . .

   

  *POP* 

   

  Promptly busted
  the key off right in the lock. 

   

  *siiiiiiggghh* 

   

  Greeeeaaat.  Now not only do I have no water . . . . I can’t
  go anywhere!  Including the show I have
  to play that evening.  *gaaah*. 

   

  Thankfully I’m
  a smart little tall blonde chick . . and I have spare keys dispersed to a few
  key (no pun intended) folks around the area. 
  Incase I do something stupid.  Or
  my trunk eats my key and then belches out the little plastic bit.  Whatever. 
  So within a few hours . . I had another key. 

   

  I guess its
  time to make more.  (and WD-40 my locks I
  suppose)   

   

  Now I just
  have to figure out how to get enough sleep during the week.  ‘Cause I’ve been falling asleep at my
  computer terminal.  I’ll only be out for
  a few seconds . . . but I open my eyes to find all sorts of interesting things
  that I’ve typed. 

   

  Like . . . “Jennifferrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”  or the birth date of
  06/0555555777777777777777777777777777777777 
    who the heck
  knows.  Hehe  I think I need to get some better nutrition in
  the morning . . to keep me going through the day.  The last thing I need is to be caught napping
  w/ my fingers on the keyboard.  Hehe  

   

  Ok. .. nuff
  for now.  See that thing above about
  getting sleep??  Yeah.  I need some. 
   

   

  Have a great
  HUMP day everyone!  I get to go out to
  lunch with a really good buddy of mine who I haven’t seen in quite some
  time.  I’m excited!  His nickname is “Buttercup”  *evil grin* 
  I’ll have more on that story later. 
  

   

  *falls
  asleep in key boarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr r r   *drool*
