after sushi, we met lil bit and nara out for a beer. i wanted to get home and finish cleaning. we were up until 1:00 in the morning, at which time, my neighbor called to see "what we were doing". apparently, he got bored with his current company and wanted to come hang out with us. handyman and i took showers, neighbor came up for pina colada and we made it out in time for last call.saturday morning- got up EARLY. earlier than i would ever want to get up on a saturday. we had appts to look at two homes. first home: somewhat of a back yard but the inside was ick. second home: has a pool and enough yard leftover. i didn't like the inside. handyman did. it just felt a little too confined to me. plus, the kitchen was like a dungeon at the very back of the house all blocked away from everything else.
we saw a few others in the neighborhood. our realtor/friend called the numbers on those and we were able to look at them. 1st lookie: weird add-on to master bedroom. they blocked the view of outside and made it into a game room. also, the guy poured a great big slab-o-concrete right in the middle of the frikkin yard. why, you ask? get this... for the horseshoe games!!! WTF?!?!? 2nd lookie: FELL IN LOVE WITH THE BACKYARD! it had those trees like the ones in riverside park that we climbed all around when we were kids (hey, i remembered something from my childhood). they were the big jungle-monkey-swinging trees. there were THREE of them in the backyard (i think. at least TWO). anyways, we were both so in love with the yard that it kinda didn't matter what the house looked like. built in '73, it needed major updates. on the way home, our realtor/friend pointed out it had nothing we were looking for in a home. needless to say, she was right and i was pretty pouty thinking about it. we played LOTTO in hopes of winning so we could buy the lot and tear down the house. didn't happen.
saturday afternoon/nite - got back home and HM did a last minute mop while i put fresh sheets on the bed. mamalane and papatom came up to cool off. we took a walk then came back to get ready for dinner. after dinner, we went to 21. i think his parents enjoyed it, right up until the part where they saw a 3' inflatable penis attacking the patrons. nice.
sunday morning - for.the.love.of.god! why was i awake at 7:00 in the morning!?!?!? why? i'll tell you why. papatom is an early riser. i was actually ready to be up early as i'd been warned, but 7:00 AM!?!?!? good god, man! even mamalane came out (bless her heart) and told me to go back to sleep... and i quote, "you poor thing, this must be like the middle of the night for you. go back to sleep". i like mamalane. after about three hours of zombie-like behavior from me AND mamalane (apparently, she had geared herself to sleep late-didn't happen) we got up and went to the phoenix for breakfast. we did a little bit of shopping and mamalane was ready to go after that. i think she just wanted to go home and nap.
sunday afternoon - went to fry's to get HM some RAM and me a laptop screen protector. yes boys and girls, i got me a laptop! i wasn't allowed to play with it until the parentals left, tho. we also drove around and checked out some other neighborhoods. we took down the numbers. we'll see what happens.
good nite and have a pleasant tomorrow.
p.s. DAMMIT if i didn't frikkin remember that i wanted to call my dad last nite, then FORGOT to do it!!
