My neighbors are infuriating!

by

Ohhhh my neighbors make me so mad sometimes!

Chris is out of town today and I’m convinced that whenever they don’t see our car in the driveway they must decide that no one is home at all. So up goes the music, the awful karaoke and any other really loud noises they can make.

It happens every time I’m home and Chris is away for the night.

Since I had an awful night and barely got any sleep I lay down on the couch at 2:30. Unfortunately I was woken up by loud guitar at 4 pm. Loud Guitar. Like it was in my living room.

I had a little freak out moment … I started to yell “Shut up, Shut up, Shut up”. Naturally that didn’t work because their music was so loud I could barely hear myself yelling. I tried phoning them, but I guess they didn’t hear the phone!

So … I went to the basement and got a hammer. I then proceeded to bang on the cement wall of the basement.

I think that worked because the loud guitar stopped.

I can not wait for these people to move! They told Chris in mid-August that they’d be putting their house up for sale in September, but so far no for sale signs gone up in front of their house.

There’s been lots of banging around as they repair things. Today I’ve heard hammering and sawing. Oh and the loud guitar … It’s not like we’re super quiet or anything, but they are so much louder it’s unbearable!

Just last week the lady of the house told my husband that they’d be having an open house this week. I’m pretty sure that didn’t happen.

I saw their house when they first moved in and it didn’t seem that bad. I mean, I would have done some work, but it didn’t look like it had to have work done. I guess 6 years of not maintaining their home must have taken it’s toll though, because they still aren’t ready to put that for sale sign up.

I know we might get even worse neighbors, but I wish they’d hurry up and move!

BTW I wrote this earlier in the day. Now it sounds like they are having a party! Geeezzz. I don’t mind if they have a party, but do they have to ALL jump up and down and sing to every song? Not to mention the karaoke that’s going on too? My house if vibrating!

Canceled due to illness

by

Well I didn’t end up going out of town to the surprise Anniversary party.

I had a massively horrible headache all last night that didn’t give up the ghost until about five in the morning. I probably just about killed my liver taking Tylenol yesterday. Hey maybe I did hurt my stomach, ’cause it started to act up worse than normal by about 11 pm so I was contending with my headache/ migraine and abdominal pain at the same time and into the night.

Needless to say I really didn’t get any sleep so I could see going out of town to a surprise party that might not even happening!

At about 11 am Chris called his sister to see what the plan was for later in the day. Since I wasn’t going to Brantford he’d decided to go a bit earlier and clean out the eaves troves for his parents since they’d asked him to do it a couple weeks before. Chris’ sister couldn’t talk long when he called because she was cooking a turkey and a roast for the small party!

Hey … this was supposed to be an afternoon party with finger foods.

I mean, our friends didn’t even know about the party and I’m pretty sure the reason it was supposed to just be a small late afternoon party was because Jan had to work in the evening or do a night shift at the Casino. So now she’s going to go to work with a big meal of turkey in her belly and probably fall asleep at work? LOL Maybe.

I just hope that Jan really isn’t greeting them at the door dressed in lingerie or something right about now …

Another out of town party to go to

by

We’ve been invited to a surprise anniversary party this weekend. One of our friends is having her 10th wedding anniversary and my husbands sister decided to give us a call and set up a little party.

I certainly hope our friends don’t already have plans of their own Saturday night or else my Sister in laws plans are going to backfire! I can just see it now. Our friend Jan dressed up in her best sexy lingerie hiding behind the door as she greets us in surprise with a “What are you doing here?”. LOL

Our get together is actually planned for the afternoon, perhaps just to be on the safe side in case they do have romantic plans that evening. Naturally these friends live out of town, about an hour and a half away, so we might even end up staying over at Chris’ parents that night. We’ll see how things go.
