Rain, rain, go away Part II
AUUGGHH!
Water damage!! After 6 months of construction on our building... the walls are still leaking rainwater! Today's damage was the worst ever in the bedroom. The half of the room near the window was wet- we had to move our computer desk, bookcase, nightstand and bed over and Serv-Pro came and cut half our carpet out! They said the carpet could not be salvaged so they cut right through it and now there are two huge fans running. The living room also accrued some moisture and there is now a huge dehumidifier running and I also have a leak in one of the new windows.
The entire apartment is a mess with furniture everywhere. I'm miserable. Moley and Lulu are miserable too. :'(

New year, new kitchen
My parents are finally remodelling the kitchen! Today they started ripping out all of the cabinets and installing the new ones. (They as in the contractors... not my parents :P) My parents also planned to get a new sink and refridgerator.
I really wanted to do something for my parents for being so accomodating this past month so I decided to help them complete the renovation. I bought them a new stove/oven and dishwasher. Here is what I picked out at Best Buy today:
Frigidaire Range with Stainless Steel
I didn't realize how hard it is to pick out appliances! I knew I wanted black/stainless steel appliances because our new cabinets are light maple with black granite counters. I wanted sophisticated looking appliances... didn't realize stainless steel was so expensive! So I picked a simple range with a built in digital oven. The Frigidaire matching dishwasher in the stainless steel was reportedly not very good at dishwashing so I had to opt for the newer black on black model... plus I had to find a very user-friendly one because my mom has never used a dishwasher before (just as a drying rack for her hand-washed dishes) and I want to convert her.

Rain, rain, go away.
Don't you hate the rain?
Especially since recently Moley decided that it's trendy not to go poop in the morning, which means I have to bring him out an additional trip in the afternoon. Today he did just that... and so I gave up thinking I'll just bring him back down in a couple of hours... and that's when it started pouring :( But I was forced to bring him down anyway and it took him 20 minutes to decide on a place to poop. We were both soaked. :(
I decided to start some of my spring cleaning today and as I was getting ready to do the laundry and dishes, I realized we were out of detergent. Both laundry and dishwashing detergent.
I was reluctant to go to the grocery store because I just recently washed my car but I did anyway... It was so wet out there! Anyways, I was having a crap day walking around in the rain, ruining my blow-dried hair, getting rain water all over my newly washed car, pushing a wet cart around Ralph's... when I spotted a pick-me-up... the highlight of my week...
James Patterson wrote another book! Yay! And it was 40% off! (From $28?? When did books get so expensive???)
So anyways now I'm getting ready to do what I've been waiting all day to do. Rip open that bag of Baked Lay's and get started on this new thriller.
Yippee.
