You missed me, didn’t you?  That’s okay, I am back today.  But soon I will be soaking in the sun, drinking up a storm, and partying my ass off in Ocean City, MD. Oh I cannot wait.  I will drink every day. I will have fun every day.  I will not think about work every day. *sigh*

It has been an interesting two days. I am very tired! I worked both jobs yesterday and today. I busted my ass serving people!  I am definitely no longer walking to and from work.  My dogs are barking!!!  And I will make some serious cash at this place.  It was crazy because Wednesday night we only had four tables in our section and we still made mad money.  They have not created a schedule for me yet, but they are already asking me to call in to cover other people.  But enough about me and how good I am, oh wait, let me bask in my glory…okay now I am done.  I am really, really tired.

This is a house hunting update.  Two of the programs for home buyers have no money.  They are expecting funding in September or October.  The money pit’s owner wants to sell the house before winter.  She had another person look at it this week.  I am running out of time.  I am actually having second thoughts about the money pit.  That is a lot of work to create my homey yet elegant abode.  I found another house that is in move in condition and it is a few blocks from the money pit.  On the other hand, I could have my Martha Stewart Kitchen in the money pit.  Man this sucks.  Oh don’t worry, I am still going to work part time.  I start tomorrow night.

I am going to clue you in on what a bad day is.  It can start at any time, and it can end at any time.  My bad day started when I fed Tina’s cats this morning.  I unlocked the door to discover a crap load of potpourri all over her living room and dining room floor. So, I was a little late to work today.  Actually, that wasn’t that bad.  Fast forward to walking home from work.  It was raining all weekend, so it was nice to be greeted with a nice, dry, semi-sunny day.  I was half way home when I felt a few drops.  I had my jacket and umbrella ready, thinking I would be home before it got bad, if it ever got bad. Oh, it got bad.  It was something similar to the great storms Noah’s Ark encountered.  I was expecting toads to fall out the sky.  The jacket and the umbrella did not help.  So, of course, I have to go back over to Tina’s to give the cats fresh water.  I took a shortcut and thought I would avoid the rivers of rainwater.  Oh no, Mother Nature had something else planned for me.  I get to Tina’s house, drenched.  My ass is wet and chaffed and I am completely soaked.  At Tina’s, I put my wet pants in the dryer and waited. I brushed the cats, played with the cats, gave them water and watched a little tv.  Did I mention that I did all the above in panties and a t-shirt in front of a large sliding glass door?  Oh yeah.  Everyone in all the condos could see my stuff.  Yes, I freaked out.

I won free tickets to see the Rush Hour 2 movie.  I took my friend Tina with me as a birthday present.  It was so friggin’ funny!  I recommend the movie to everyone.  The out-takes are very funny.  Brett Ratner is da man.  I have been invited to yet another happy hour party.  Don’t worry, I look good.

I have asked some friends for wisdom concerning buying this house.  They all agree that it is a good investment.  I think that since I am not dating anyone at the present time, let alone the distant future, (don’t make me open that Pandora’s box), I will have time to work on the cosmetic stuff.  My friend Laura is still having trouble closing on her dream house because the buyers for her house have loan people that do not bother to tell them when the closing date is.  It’s a big mess.  My thoughts and prayers are with her and I honestly hope and pray that my home buying process is not bad.

I took a look at the carriage house that I am interested in buying again. I got a ballpark estimate from a friend who does carpentry work. Let’s just call the house the money pit. I will be knee deep in construction for a while and I would have to do the cosmetic stuff myself to cut corners. All I know is, if you give me a sink, a roof and a microwave, I will be a-okay. The money pit is cheap for the area I live in and I would get a tax credit for ten years. I have some time to decide. Oh yeah, I start my part time job next week. I got two jobs, mon.
