So, no word from the skanky house buyers about their threatened law suit. I still think they just tried to ruin our thanksgiving by telling us about the law suit right before. Also, I think they (wrongly) assumed we would toss some cash their way because we frightened of them or something. As happy as I am not have heard from them, I kind a wish we could sue them back though. I did do a drive-by yesterday when I went back to stepford to have lunch with my babes. They are definitely doing some work to the house. I saw a dumpster in the back yard. Probably the kid's bathrooms. Also, they put a play set right where our old play set used to be. I hope that cranky neighbor in the back called the town to complain about theirs being too close to the property line like they did to us. That would make me laugh. Welcome to the neighborhood! Totally.
I've been totally preoccupied with the whole [email protected] application. TOTALLY.
Is there a holiday coming up?
I was hoping my kids would make the whole consumerist holiday thing easy on me and give me guidance in the form of an email with links. Josh did, but that was painful because he asked for some serious money wasting crap that I know he is never ever going to use, and Matt and Evan just shrugged me off saying they had everything they needed. Which is true, don't we all really do have everything we need? Yes we do. But we keep buying more junk anyway. totally wrong.
I am going to get up as soon as I hit publish and begin a massive living area clean up. I still have stuff in boxes because I 1. don't have any place to put stuff int he new house and 2. I figured I'd see if we can do without certain things so all those boxes are about to go down in the basement where they will be neatly placed on plastic shelving. If I don't need the stuff for long enough it's getting the heave ho. This whole drowning in stuff thing I do oh so well is starting to get on my nerves. totally.
When I was at Kitten's house yesterday I realized why other people's houses are always a thousand times neater than mine is. It's because they don't actually use their living areas. Kitten's main floor? Immaculate. Kitten's basement? Much like my place! I noticed the same thing at a house we were at for a holiday party last weekend. Kids are squirreled away in an area that is out of sight. Too bad I like seeing my own offspring so damned much. I'll never have a tidy house. I'm giving up. Life is too short to fluff couch pillows. totally.
