“WHAM! His capa was detated from his head!”

So yet again there are workers walking in and out of my apartment installing this that and the other for whatever reason.  Okay… well this time they are installing the plumbing so that we can have a washer and dryer whenever we are ready to have them install that.  I think I may talk to Jacob and tell him that I want to go ahead and just have it installed now and start paying the $50 extra a month.  At the same time, this apartment is continuing to get more and more expensive all the time.  When we moved in, we started out paying $1040/month.  We are now going to be up to $1284.  On top of that, we are going to finally have to pay the deposit for the dog, which is $500 and $35/month every month.  And then if we would want to get the washer and dryer put in, we will add the $50/month.  For a grand total of $1369/month.  OY!

I personally vote to get rid of the dog and wait to get the washer and dryer until after I start working whenever that may be.  That’s not happening though.  In fact I can say without a doubt that Jacob would rather keep the dog than stay married to me.  He wonders why I can’t stand the dog.  Well that’s why.  Sad thing is that he didn’t even deny it when I brought that up to him.

Lenny just messed up again.  LOL  That’s the name of one of the guys that has been working in the apartment.  Evidently he didn’t finish something properly.  So now the other guys are cussing up a storm in Spanish about Lenny.  I’ll have to ask Jacob what chingou su madre means.  I’m pretty sure that I’m misspelling chingou too. LOL

I really don’t have all that much to write about.  Things with Jacob haven’t exactly been ideal lately.  It sucks.  There are days where I don’t want to even be here anymore.  I told him as much last night.  I know we’ll work through things in time, but that doesn’t make the situation any less sucky right now.

Our balcony garden is flourishing nicely.  I’m most excited about my corn plants.  They are getting HUGE!  LOVE IT!  The tomatoes are growing out of control as well, and the wild flowers are going to be amazing when they start blooming.  And the rose bush/tree that Jacob brought home has taken to the replanting and is full of leaves and buds.  I should take pictures to share.

These guys are funny to listen to, I’m telling you.  They can’t seem to get along much at all.  I think I shall go make something to eat and then watch some episodes of The Office.  Isn’t it sad that up until a couple of weeks ago I had never watched a single episode of that show.  I finally started watching it on Netflix one night, and now I am in love with that show.  I’ve watched ever episode up to this season and now I am working on watching the episodes that are available on Hulu.  I’ll have to wait to watch the first 11 episodes of this season though since they aren’t posted.  *sigh*  Good stuff.

Okay, a house (apartment) without a washer and dryer is alien to me. A house (apartment) WITH a dog is alien to me. A house (apartment) with a balcony is alien to me. An apartment with a garden (with CORN) is BEYOND alien to me. Me, I’d sell the dog, get a house, and buy corn at the local supermarket.

Apartment living is more and more expensive, and the “extras” add up. Didn’t you and Jacob discuss pet ownership before tying the knot? You COULD put the dog in the new washer “by mistake.”

ryn: yes. and, why not???

May 11, 2009

RYN: I am wonderfully tolerant of dogs that are owned by someone else.

RYBN: Oh, sure. You like the pictures, but not my prose! [*sob*]

May 12, 2009

RYNL Well, once you commit to a pet, I’d assume that you move quickly from tolerance to love. I love my grandchildren, but I don’t have to clean up their hair, poop, or vomit.

RYN: I think your head is brilliant, so I doubt anything I write would be over it. On the other hand, almost EVERYTHING is over MY head (especially since I lost my hair);

May 13, 2009

RYN: Thanks for the head’s up on the pics. Damn internet; preventing me from stealing.

RYN: If you’re 29 and don’t listen to pop music, then pop music must really suck. BTW: I applaud your taste.

May 14, 2009

RYN: I’ll stick with Toby Keith also! BTW: who is Toby Keith?

May 15, 2009

RYN: What’s Christian Alternative music? Jewish music?

May 16, 2009

That is alot to pay for an apartment RYN-Yeah, pretty much

RYB: Andrea Bocelli’s an okay pop tenor. He sings what, in my youth, Mario Lanza sang. Except Mario was far more talented. Of course, he’s also dead, which means Andrea comes out ahead.

RYN: I don’t listen to the radio, so I wouldn’t know what’s mainstream crap and what’s alternative. I DO know that lots of Christian music is beautiful (regardless of what I believe).

May 18, 2009

RYB: Okay. I think. I’d assume ANY Christian music would be an alternative to what’s played on the radio (which is fairly satanic). Anyway, from Handel’s “Messiah” to simple hymns, I’ve always enjoyed Christian “tunes.”
