You are really irritating to me.
Today I could have done without:
- Nick's broken toe (the week he took off work to do DIY with me. Damn you, osteogenesis imperfecta)
- Heidi's insane amounts of energy. Pawing at back door for 45 minutes straight this morning when we locked her outside to get a little extra shut eye - check.
- The fridge breaking today.
- The fridge magically fixing itself after I called the rental people to tell them it was broken. Doesn't that just make you look like an a-hole? Oh and they already HATE us.
- It being September first and it reminding me that I don't think I have worked on any of my New Year's resolutions. Time is a ticking and making me feel like I am in the midst of a quarter life crisis.
- The wallpaper in our new house REFUSING to come down. And then the wall paper steamer breaking.
- Paint colors looking significantly different on the cards than they do on the walls. How many samples is it reasonable to buy? I'm pushing 20 and the husband is not a fan of this process.
- My American drivers license being good for one year and now I need a British one to be allowed to drive here.
However, there are a few things I am glad for today:
- That there is one restaurant within walking distance of where we live. And we had a good lunch date there today.
- At least the Doodle's energy can be funny. (Using Nick's head as a stepping stool to climb on to the window ledge and giving him a bruised face in the process - check. He looks gangsta now)
- Self help books. I bought the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People at the airport. Who am I? I wonder if I will become highly effective?
- We ordered a brand new kitchen yesterday! And we got it from the expensive place (Thank you 50% off sale! You make me feel like a classy girl.)
- We might finally have a car soon! Thank God.
- We bought a bed for the guest room yesterday. And it is only 3 weeks till we have our first guest - who I haven't seen in 3 years!!!!!! OMG!! I'm excited!!!
- Bloggers. I like you guys. Thanks for reading this crap I come out with.
That is all.
Ohmygosh, OHmy gosh. I haven't even read to end, but I needed to say I felt the exact same way about the RD announcement. I am, of course, really happy (and told them so), but you totally read my mind with that one. Okay, reading the rest now!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think I'll write one of those cheesy "Our Love Story" chapter-installments about the story of my boyfriend; it's hard to explain succinctly. Thank you for being happy about his existence :)
Er, amendment to my comment: I agree with the FIRST bullet concerning the Rockstars' announcement. Pretty sure it's theirs? Haha
ReplyDeleteI think I also feel the same way about RD. Didn't think they could get "cuter" aaand it just happened...
ReplyDeleteThank God there was some good to balance the bad...otherwise you might've kicked that refrigerator out the window and the last thing you need is another broken toe in the house.
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Carrie

ReplyDeletehope september starts treating you better!

Oh Kelly. I love your posts.
ReplyDeleteI may have to steal this one [just ever so slightly].
You are awesome.
oh, the joys of a new house! good luck w/the rest of your projects!
ReplyDeleteFeel like a loser because I don't know who the Rockstar Diaries couple is... going to google them.
ReplyDeleteSorry your (soon-to-be-ex)wallpaper is being a pain. Here's hoping it comes off eventually.
Having a new place is difficult, but the end results are definitely rewarding. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is quite a lot to think about/have happen in a day! My Sept 1st consisted of.. erm.. work and Playstation :p. Damn. x
ReplyDeleteOh geez my September 1st was a little blurry and I don't remember much. But I feel you with the fridge deal except mine consisted of it breaking for a couple of days without me knowing...aka food rotting...aka really smelly.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on the new kitchen and the car that's coming soon :)!
