A great weekend!

I knew I was off the whole weekend and was excited enough about that. I saw on facebook that my friend Chelsea was going to see Jeff Dunham in Dayton. I wrote and said I want to go too and God love facebook her friend and mine Kelly wrote me and said she could probably get me and Tom in because her cousin wasn't going! I was so excited I couldn't wait to tell Tom. On Friday the day of the show at 4:00 she let me know the tickets were ours and we just had to get to the Nutter Center in Dayton by 8:00pm. I worked til 6 and we got straight on the road. We ended up getting 12th row center tickets for free. OMG thanks Kelly we had an amazing time. I laughed til I thought I would hurt myself. What an amazing and hilarious show. The show was over and we went to Wafflehouse on the way home which has the most amazing omelet ever! That was just Friday. The rest of the weekend was amazing too:)

Money has no stretch to it!! Darnit!

Well, in short last summer we decided to update our furnace and have someone install it. Everything seemed fine at the time and it was a great deal. Well, fast forward to one of the coldest days of the winter. I come home for my lunch break and it's colder inside than out. I look down at my cat Teddy who is an ice cube. I wrap him up in a blanket and keep him warm and call my husband. "Honey, please call someone. The heat won't come on and it's freezing in here." So the sears man comes and tells us he fixed it temporarily but that whoever installed it could've caused the house to burn to the ground. Great, now what? Then, they said they could fix all of the problems but we have asbestos in our ductwork. So I call to have that removed and they want over 900.00 to remove it. That's not counting the 1,400.00 that sears wants to get us back to square one and safe. At this point I'm to boiling and just can't figure out how to get out of what to do. I asked my coworker Tina B. if she knew anyone, and long story short it was the best thing I could've done. She got me a guy named Bret who was awesome, and in the end was only about 1,100.oo altogether and didn't have to get the asbestos removed. He did that too. So they saved me about 1,000 easy. If you need someone reasonable and good email bret skilldago@aol.com. I highly recommend him. Now, we still don't have central air or my security glass block windows, but I guess we are getting there. Whew, that dollar just doesn't stretch far enough no matter what you do.

7 day stretch of no days off is over:)



I'm so happy it's Friday, I had to post a blog. I haven't had a day off since last Friday and it's been a llooooooonnnnngggg week. I'll just be glad to have two days off without having any meetings or places I have to be all day you know? I got some bad news in the mail yesterday that ticked me off too. Our mortgage is being raised by $70!! How is that allowed? How do those people sleep at night? I guess I'm just so ready for vacation is all that's why I'm rambling. Well, on another note, I woke up to a newly bloomed bright yellow lily which I'll post a picture of. I'm really trying to get better with posting blogs. Hope you all have awesome weekends!
