It’s a Wrap
Greg and I woke up not too long ago, our sleeping is off. The clock read 3:40am ish. It was only 10pm. The power went out obviously, that is why I don’t even bother setting the alarm clock, I just set my phone, which I keep charged. I don’t know what’s taking them so long to fix this electric “leg” problem. Last thing I heard, maintainence was trying to get a bid from a contractor. Well how long does it take to quote a price?
I am slowly getting annoyed with this place. Monday Terminix came by to spray the KITCHEN area, do to a slug problem. When it rains, they get in somehow. Anyway I gave them permission to come in if we weren’t here. It’s hard to hear the bell upstairs, especially when we’re sleep. We didn’t get up fast enough, so we just stayed in the bed. They came in and went in the downstairs bathroom - I heard them turn on the fan. Greg put the trash in there (with the door closed) to get it out of the way of them spraying the KITCHEN. Who told them to even go in the bathroom? Days later there’s a warning on the front door about the trash being in the bathroom and if it happens again we’ll be fined $50. I had to explain why it was done, we don’t get bugs, the garbage has nothing to do with the slugs. They come in around the patio and make their way into the kitchen AWAY FROM THE TRASH under the sink. I truly think he didn’t even spray because I heard him come in, open the bathroom door, turn on the fan by accident, and leave. He just wanted to make a damn assumption and write a damn warning.
At first I was cool with staff or whatever coming in if we were gone, but as things started falling apart it just got annoying. Some of the times that they’ve had to come for stuff, I’d still be in the house. I don’t really like to be in the house when they come. I have to make sure I’m up and dressed. If I don’t answer the door they assume no one’s home. I’m going to have to tell them about that. One time I was listening to music, cleaning up, I go downstairs and here’s the maintainece guy walking through my front door. What if I was in my underwear? I was in a t-shirt and short shorts. I was thinking about getting a door stopper so they couldn’t come in incase we were in here and didn’t hear the door. I mean what if we were in the middle of “something” and they came barging on in? I really don’t want them coming in period now. There’s no way to keep them out if we’re gone, they have a key. I want to move. We will in July.

Updated Bedroom
I said that I would take some pictures of our bedrooom after updating to the bedding that I ranted about in a previous post. Like I said afterwards though, it’s not as bad as I made it out to be. We made it work. So here are the befores and the afters. The room isn’t complete yet, I want to find more pieces for walls. It would help a bit if we had more space, we have 4 bedrooms, all of which are identical. I wish we could knock a wall down and have 2 rooms as 1, like the unit I viewed before moving in. It was 2 bedrooms and what they called a study since it was without closets. We’re content with what we have though. I can’t stop decorating although I know we may move over the summer.
I’m going to watch Greg do some situps, pushups, and whatever elseups since he’s gained the freshman 15 thanks to my wonderful cooking. Oh wait I have an ab lounge, he shall use that. One day I’ll use it…I may look fit, but I’m not. Walking hiking to class last year, was rough. This summer I have some plans to excercise.

Overfeeding Dogs = Not Cute
Why do people think it’s cute to feed their dogs EVERYTHING? They’re only teaching their dog to be greedy and are encouraging begging. They are also increasing chances of unnatural weight gain. It is unhealthy to feed your dog foods such as sweets. I just got done watching a clip on google of some idiots feeding their Shih Tzu a WHOLE ice cream cone. They were just in the background giggling like it was SoOoOo cute. Just because dogs give you that cute face doesn’t mean you should stuff them with any and everything that you yourself eat. Certain foods are bad for dogs, their bodies can’t process certain things. Even if they don’t get sick after having something that is bad for them, it doesn’t make it ok for them to have it. It’s still doing bodily harm. I’m trying to teach Caesar some etiquette. I’m trying to teach him that he won’t get anything if he begs. I teach him not to stare at others eating and I don’t feed him SWEETS!

Oh Come On.
4 o’ clock this morning I woke up with the worst headache. The pain took over the right side of my head and eye. I kept trying to bury my head in pillows (Got new ones from Kohl’s!) but it felt like I was laying on bricks or something. After popping some Tylenol extra strength, I didn’t see much difference. Greg gave me a cold towel to put over my eye, that helped and I had a reese’s cup because I remember a girl saying chocolate helps headaches. The chocolate took my mind off the pain 
. From there it took me about 15 minutes to go back to sleep.
I later woke up around noon to get ready for work, I turned on the shower to be greeted by ice cold water. I even let it run for a while. I contacted the office, but since it’s Sunday I figured maintenance wouldn’t be around. I decided to boil some water, the aisles wouldn’t come on! SO, I decided to MICROWAVE some water. When I turned on the microwave, the lights went dim, and the water never got warm. SO, I decided to take a Huggies babywipe bath 
. Nothing went wrong there. The head maintenance guy showed up and ran some tests on the switches and outlets and discovered that 1 of 2 “legs” burned out, so anything on the 2nd leg won’t work properly. Tomorrow morning they’ll have to redo the “service” from the main into the apartment. So we don’t have hot water, I couldn’t cook, and it’s freezing in here since the heat doesn’t work. We had to use a utility extension cord to plug the refrigerator up in the dining room. Oh and I was an hour late to work. Dinner was a pepperoni pizza from Little C-a-e-s-a-r’s, a c-a-e-s-a-r side salad from Wendy’s and a frosty, mmm.
Speaking of Wendy’s they’ve been out of order. Yesterday Greg ordered me a Jr. Cheeseburger Deluxe meal and they gave me the Crispy Chicken Deluxe, I didn’t complain because it was good. After work we went back and they gave us free fries, of course I didn’t complain, it made up for the sandwich mix up. Today they didn’t mess up our order but they had to ask us if we ordered 2 c-a-e-s-a-r side salads. Now, I go to Wendy’s hoping for free food.
C-a-e-s-a-r was spelled this way to keep my autolinker from linking to Caesar’s dogster page.

Random Goodness.
I took the LPN entrance exam again today. To my surprise, it was identical to the first one that I took. I rushed through the math to make sure I finished. Anything I didn’t know I randomly bubbled in, I then went back to questions them and attempted to correct them. Last time I didn’t get to the last 6 or so questions so I randomly bubbled them in. Hope my new approach boosts my score a bit. Well, actually I just hope to be one of the 80 receiving an acceptance letter in May.
I’m working on a new theme, I just can’t get the css right. I’m debating where I want to upload my pictures from the Auto Show, my gallery (which needs to be redone) or flickr. I’ll see. I got some really good pictures of Kelis.
Yesterday Greg and I came home (southern illinois) to our new printer and bedding. Ugh, the bedding is not what I expected. Here is my review: I give this NO STARS! I paid $59.99 for this and $20 shipping. I thought I was really getting something seeing how it had been marked down from $117.99. It looks so much better in the picture. Mine looks terribly faded, there are strings hanging off the sides of my comforter from a horrible sewing job and I DID NOT receive my neck pillow. I could have gotten better at Walmart.
NOW speaking of Walmart, I ranted a bit about them in a previous post how the past 4 bedding sets that I purchased from them, the comforters unraveled at the corners exposing the stuffing. This was the whole reason I turned to Amazon to get bedding, but I got bamboozled again. Now back to Walmart, I had a spare set of sheets that were purchased from Walmart, I wanted to put them on the bed before we put the new set from Amazon on. We have a queen sized bed, the sheet set was for a queen sized bed, why did the fitted sheet say FULL SIZED?!?! Needless to say, it didn’t fit. - I will never buy any type of bedding from Walmart again!
