7 Quick Takes Friday Vol. 27

1. 

Ryan got us a one of them nifty Netflix accounts! I am having a hard time trying to figure out which TV show to start, although Calah from Barefoot and Pregnant threatened to internet slap me if I don't watch Dr. Who, so I'm thinking he will win out. Besides, I want to know what all the fuss is about regarding this Dr. dude. Plus, she mentioned talking Tree People, so that's incentive right there.

P.S. I know this isn't the current Dr. Who. I do keep myself educated with Entertainment Weekly.

2. 

I am so not suited for apartment living. Our noisy noiserson neighbors above us moved out. There was three days of blessed peace and quiet. Then new neighbors moved in. They are from Bulgaria...they are.. erm... very large folk. So we can pretty much hear every booming step they take PLUS their b*tchin' techno music. Ryan met them when they first moved in and they seem nice enough.

A day after our new neighbors moved in the little girl who lives below us (they moved in about a month ago) got a FREAKING DRUM SET. It makes our walls and floors shake.

They don't speak English.

Our lease is up in three months. The priest at my last confession told me that if I felt like I was about to say something mean to say, "Lord, mercy." I have a feeling I'll be saying that A LOT in these upcoming months.

I just hate apartment living. We have definitely outgrown this little two bedroom. I have noise anxiety so all this banging around drives me batty. I want a big yard for Joe to run amok. I did find the CUTEST little house for rent, perfect size, big yard, cute vintagy old fashioned kitchen... but we can't afford to break our lease. I'm hoping things will work out in March!

It doesn't help that this is the craptastic view from one of our three windows.

Perfect for creepers, but not for me.

3.

I ordered my books for my first pre requisite class, Introductory Chemistry for Health Sciences. I'm pretty excited. Not overly excited... because I know I'll have a minor freak out in a couple weeks when the time comes closer for class to start.

Now

Later

 

 

 4. 

Mom wants to go see Les Miserables with me this weekend. Now don't go throwing internet stones at me, but I've never seen this musical or have any clue what it's about. Well, I think there's some Frenchie war, Anne Hathaway sing/cries a Susan Boyle song, and there's a little blonde girl running around.

5. 

Ryan wants to do a segment on my blog. He wants me to record him rambling on different subjects and post the video on my blog. We're thinking of calling it "The Beard Speaks" or "Saturday Morning Cartoons."

What do y'all think?

6.

So now I feel like a giant piece of dog crap. Ryan just got home and talked to our neighbors who live upstairs. They were SUPER nice and asked him if the noise they were making was bothering us. Ryan mentioned how crappy these apartments are and how we can hear their music. They apologized over and over again and offered to give us their cell phone number so we can call if they ever get too loud.

UGH.... I should be thankful that I have a roof over my head and that we don't live next to the next Jeffrey Dahmer. Things could be SO much worse!

My confessions don't stick.

This was our Friday:

I was SO excited to get a REAL LIFE Buzz and Woody for Joe for Christmas! He LOVES them and I can't wait until he's old enough to write his name on Buzz and Woody's feet!

Well, I have some Netflixing to do. My kids will have to fend for themselves.
