Deep Freezer, Eeek!
I am so on edge right now. I really want a deep freezer as the one connected to the fridge isn’t enough. I like to stock up on meat and would like to be able to buy more frozen foods without having to worry if it will fit in the darn freezer. I went on freecycle and found one! BUT I have to be approved to the yahoo group 
! So now I’m waiting for approval so that I can contact the person about it. I’m also worried about how we’re going to pick it up, it’s just not going to fit in a ford taurus, I just know it. There may be a possibility that we can squeeze it in. I don’t know, we have to get the measurements, they didn’t mention the size. I hope it will fit because we can’t rent a truck. I believe you have to be 21 to rent a truck or cargo

Spring Cleaning Part 1
Yesterday morning I decided to start my “spring cleaning”. There are 2 rooms in this house that just cannot stay organized, one being the computer/hobby room and the whatever else room. I decided to tackle the computer/hobby room. It has never been in order. The only times we’ve gone in that room were when we needed to print and when I needed to do ebay related stuff. To think all it took was an hour or less to get it in order. I feel so much better now. I really don’t like junk and clutter, I just couldn’t push myself to fix it.
I have to work later on today, so hopefully after work Greg and I can tackle the whatever else room together. I also want to move my clothes into the bedroom closet because they are now in a room with Caesar, I don’t want any mishaps, he’s already gotten to one of my flipflops because I didn’t close the closet all the way. It’s also time for him to have a bath.
I also need to disinfect the bathrooms and kitchen, something I do on the regular anyway. I just like to completely clean up before we go somewhere. We’re going back “home” for the break. I don’t want to return to a messy house.

Gee Thanks Pepto
As a child I had my share of upset stomachs. What was I given? Pepto-Bismol. Seconds after swallowing that pink goop, I’d throw it up along with a few extras. Well, I didn’t have an upset stomach anymore but I don’t think that Pepto’s purpose was to induce vomiting. Why has it taken over 10 YEARS from then to create Children’s Pepto 
???

Friday Meme: Pet Love
I got this from Friday Fun. Although it’s not up to date I decided to participate.
1. When you were growing up, were pets part of your family? If so, what kind?
I had 2 parakeets, Spunky & Frisky. I also had a few fish. At the time my mother and I lived in an apartment so we were limited as to what type of pets we could have.
2. If you have a pet (or 2 or 3 or 4!), do you tend to spoil it (or them) rotten?
Of course. Spunky, Gigi, Simba, and Caesar all deserve pampering as well as their favorite treats and toys.
3. What is your feeling on pets in clothes? Cute, practical, or too Paris Hilton for you?
Cute. If you don’t have a child to dress up, dress a pet.
4. If you don’t have any, would you want one? And if so, what kind of pet?
I have plenty now, but I’d love to have a few more toy dogs, a set of lovebirds, a parakeet aviary, and a salt water aquarium.
5. Do you have any favorite pet, current or in the past?
I’d have to say my parakeet Spunky is my favorite. I’ve had him 10 years. He’s never given me any trouble, he’s well behaved and isn’t wild. He’s the sweetest bird I’ve ever had. I can’t leave my Simba out. He’s been with me since he was a tiny little kitty March 9th 2004! He’s now 3 years old and still my snickerdoodle

I need to update the gallery with recent pictures.

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.
