house update for the day... so far
The inspection is tomorrow at 9am. Chris is gonna go and be there during the inspection. He said he will take tons of pictures. I am still waiting to find out about my visit to the house tomorrow. Chris is gonna check with the realtor to see if he can take me over in the afternoon.

house update for the day...
The realtor called and he is gonna schedule the inspection for Friday. I am taking the mom and sibling unit (who is in town - WOOOO HOOOO!) by the house on Friday. We might even get to go through it, depending on if they are doing the inspection then. We are gonna pay for the inspection out of pocket and that will take that amount out of our closing costs. If we waited until closing to pay for the inspection, they charge more for the delay. It's all good. We might as well pay for what we can while we have the money and have to pay less at closing. Speaking of closing, notice my new counter up to the right? I got that idea from a poster on my sister's website. It counts for you. Sweet.
The husband is in Vegas for the day. That's fun for him. He called me on his lunch to tell me that the realtor had called. I am really thankful that Chris is taking care of all this house stuff. I am usually the one with all the responsibilities for things such as this, but he is taking this all on and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that.
I do have a headache today and it sucks ass.

our new house
The picture is not the greatest, but so far it's all that we have. Today, we put in an offer and it was accepted. We are planning on closing on March 28th. That gives us a whole month to move from our apartment into the new house. The house has a lot of things that we want to improve, but it is move in ready. The dude that owns it has lived there for 22 years and has a lot of crap, including and RV and a car in the back yard. We are excited, but we don't close for 5 weeks, so I am trying to refrain from really freaking out.
the dry cleaning dilemma
I wanted to share what has been going on with our dry cleaners, but I figured I would just post the letter I emailed to them and save the time typing. Here's the letter:
First of all, let me say that we have been loyal customers of yours for over two years. However at the end of January, I dropped off some shirts of my husbands to be laundered. One particular shirt came back with a marking on it that I have since learned was done by one of the thermal tags your company uses to put the names on the shirts. We took the shirt back to the same location and showed the marking. We were told that it would come right off and that we would not be charged to have it re-cleaned. When we picked up the shirt about a week later, the marking had been removed, but we were charged for cleaning it. I dismissed this, because I was happy that the marking had come off. However, when I went to take that same shirt out of the bag, I noticed more stains. All over the bottom half of the shirt there are red marks that hadn't been there before. I worked at an Ultra Cleaners in Glendale for over 2 years and I recognized the stains as color transfer from the press. I was so upset about this shirt, that I had my husband take it back to the same location and show them the new stains. That was February 12th. An employee there told him that since it was a weekend and no managers were there, that a manager would call him on Monday the 14th. He did not receive a call back and on Wednesday, the 16th, he called the store. He was given the excuse that they had our phone number wrong and was told that a manager would call him the next day. The excuse of having our phone number wrong frustrates me even more. Every time that we drop off the shirts, we are asked for our phone number and I give the correct number each time. The fact that this was not updated in your system is not our problem. My husband did give his correct number when they found that error and was assured that a manager would call him. By around 3:00pm on the 17th, my husband had not received a call, so I drove to the store to speak with someone in person. I spoke with a women who identified herself as Ann. Ann said that she was just told about the shirt. Mind you, the shirt had been in the store for over 5 days at this point. Ann told me that she would look at the shirt to determine if the stains could be removed. She said that if they determine that the stains cannot be removed, that the shirt would be replaced. She also told me that she would call me by the end of business that day. I gave her my correct phone number again and saw that she wrote it down correctly. I was very respectful and kind, despite my anger and frustration. I left the store with confidence that the situation would finally be resolved. It is now February 18th and neither my husband nor myself have received the call backs we were promised. This is the some of the poorest customer service that I have ever experienced. As I said, I worked at a dry cleaners for over 2 years and I know the things that can happen. I am not naïve to that reality. However, not resolving issues and flat out lying to my face, is not customer service or any way to run a business. My husband and I have already decided that we are no longer going do business with your company and we will advise all those that we know who use your company of our situation. I understand that it is only one shirt, but the fact of the matter is, the shirt was ruined and not one person seems to care. We would just like this issue to be resolved.
Update on the story: it's still unresolved. I got an message on the 18th from the manager Ann and she gave me all sorts of excuses about dialing the wrong area code. Blah blah. She said that she only found two red spots. It's all just more lies. It's red all over the bottom. I don't know what is gonna happen with it and it's still unresolved. Thank god we're moving.

mmm, philosophy
I just started using my philosophy chocolate chip cookies shower gel and it smells more like Coco Krispies then chocolate chip cookies. But it's still neat. I am on a program where I get two new shower gels every 60 days (that's when they are supposed to come, in theory) and my last shipment was shipped today. I guess I will have to buy some on my own from here on out. But I am backed up with what I have. At home now, I have white chocolate hazelnut, and mini's of double rich hot cocoa and spiced cider from my Hot Toddies collection that I got for Christmas. What's coming in my last shipment is key lime pie and coconut cream pie. Yum. I was going over the website and they have new flavors like lavender pound cake, vanilla cupcake and crumb berry pie. Yum again.

to blog or not to blog
In an effort to make my blog more "interesting" and less "about John Mayer", I give you the following article: Have a blog, lose your job?
The funny thing about this is that I am posting this while at work. HEHE. I am breaking the rules, but at least I don't write about work things. Sometimes I mention it here and there, but nothing really specific. I learned that lesson. Who would be dumb enough to post stuff about their job? Plus, all the businesses need to do is block access to blogger. But I better stop before I give them any ideas.

i gots me some flowders
neat! I got a message on my voicemail from security that I had a delivery. I went down and found some purty flowers. It has orchids, tulips, lillies, and a bunch of other neat smelling flowers. It was a total shock, especially since we weren't supposed to give each other anything for Valentines Day. I did get him some chocolates, a Simpsons trivia game and a card, so I guess we were both trying to trick each other with saying that we weren't going to give gifts.
What a neat husband I have?!?!?!?

Grammy's
YEAH! Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. I had my doubts, but can I just tell you how pleasantly surprised I was. For once, awards went to those deserving, not just the most popular.
The show was pretty lame. The tsunami tribute song was terrible. I can't imagine anyone wanting to download that. It's sad when the best part of the song was sung by Steven Tyler. Melissa Etheridge scared the crap out me with no hair. I get the cancer thing, but that doesn't mean she's not scary. Joss Stone, I thought was the best performance of the night. Yes, better than JCM's. J.Lo and Marc Anthony's performance was disturbing. Let's pretend to play house while we sing in spanish. No thank you. One thing that really pisses me off is that I am in Mountain Time and all the pre-show shit didn't start until after the awards actually started here. So annoying. They don't adjust for the time zones on the cable channels. But really, I can't stand Star Jones on E! anyway, so it's not that great of a loss.
Beck - both our boys won Grammys! Zach Braff won for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For A Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media. NEAT!

rain
It has been raining since noon on Thursday. Most people would not find this information blog worthy. But here in AZ, that's amazing. I think the storm has moved on now, but it left us wet and humid. The other reason I mention it is because our bedroom window leaks. I have two towels on the window sill and I had to change them out because they were soaked. This is inside the window. I even had to the window closed for most the day. I will be so glad that we will be leaving soon.
guess who's pre-qualified?
WE ARE!!
Yesterday, we met with a mortgage broker and we are pre-qualified to buy a house. This is scary and cool all at the same time. This means that we are really going to be getting house. Being pre-qualified was a huge relief because now we know that it can be a reality. We have been working really hard on paying things, like credit cards, down and it has paid off. We have to start saving money now so that we can actually do this. But at least we know we can get the financing. And now, we have to get a realtor and find house. YIKES!
HOLY CRAP! WE ARE GONNA GET A HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

music of the moment
Here are some songs that I can't seem to get out of my head right now:
Get Right by Jennifer Lopez
Disco Inferno by 50 Cent
Pain and Work by Jimmy Eat World (gotta support the local boys!)
Over by Lindsay Lohan (yes, I know. I'm ashamed of this.)
Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney
Now, I'm not saying these are good and/or high quality songs. Just songs that I like to blast and groove to.
This is a cute interview with Gavin DeGraw. We love him too.
Grammy's are Sunday! JCM is performing Daughters, of course. He's up for two awards. Song Of The Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. He will probably not win, but he's got my love and support, so what more could he really want anyway? hehe.
and if you have some time, Kanye West's live show is available to watch. JCM was there and performs about 40 minutes into Kanye's set and stays for the rest of it. Or you can just watch All Falls Down and see the best part of JCM performance. Watch it.
Edited to add: for anyone new to my blog, JCM is John Mayer.

GoDaddy.com
This company is getting the most publicity from the Super Bowl commercial then any other. The cool thing is, GoDaddy.com is based here in Scottsdale, very close to my house and to make it even closer to home, my co-worker's husband works for them. She said that she got an email from her husband today and all he said was that they are so busy and they are making so much money. Read an article about them here. Just goes to show you that any publicity is good publicity.
my boy speaks
Thought that I would share his column from Esquire this month:
Music Lessons
THIS MONTH'S LESSON: Five More Songs of the Year
by John Mayer | Mar 01 '05
I was stunned to learn that I was nominated for Song of the Year at this year's Grammys for my tune "Daughters." There's so much great music out right now. So I've decided to sublet my nomination to five equally deserving songs.
"Float On," Modest Mouse
When I first heard this tune, I thought Mick Jagger had gotten together with Dexy's Midnight Runners. That would've been cool, but no cooler than this perfect little number. This is the kind of song you listen to when you lay out tomorrow's outfit just before bedtime, thinking, Being me is about to get awesome. Too-rye-ay!
"This Love," Maroon 5
I'm surprised this song didn't get nominated, being that it was one of about seven on the radio that actually had a chorus, let alone one strong enough to hold its own next to any song from the last ten years. You might think it's overplayed, but this one is a half-court shot, nothing but net.
"99 Problems," Jay-Z
When Jay-Z came up with the lyric "I got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one," he probably celebrated at Friday's over an Oreo Madness dessert. Oh, wait, that's what I do. But consider this: Jay is the only mainstream artist brave enough to release a capella versions of his music. The man is not only one of the greatest rappers ever, he shows his work on the back of the test.
"I Don't Wanna Be," Gavin DeGraw
The problem with having Gavin DeGraw shoved down our throats is that he's so good, he didn't have to be. Once you get over the shooting pain of a twisted arm, you realize that this is one badass song with a unique chorus and a nuts-out vocal performance. It's never come on the radio when I didn't want it.
"I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You," Colin Hay
This is without a doubt my favorite song of the year. I'm still trying for a tune like this of my own. It's my favorite kind of ballad, "chin up" sadness that even a cold bastard would get swept away by: "And if I lived till I could no longer climb my stairs/I just don't think I'll ever get over you." No further comments.

i guess it was worth it
Last night was the company party that I reference below. I was really not wanting to go, but we went anyway. I put on a nice shirt (the beautiful one that I bought for the JCM concert last February) and flat ironed my hair. oooh. Not like I wanted to impress these people, but I felt that if I was going, at least dress up. So, the food was ok and the music was all country. YUCK!!!!! But I guess it was worth it because I won a $200 door prize. Sweet! It was a Visa gift card. I am gonna save it for when we ever get a house. We were home by 9:30, which worked out good because the SAG Awards were on.

what a crappy day
Today sucked.
Our electric company notified us yesterday that our power would be turned off for about 4 hours this morning, starting at 8:00am. This pretty much altered all my plans. I was intending to cook pork chops in the crock pot today. So, I had to cook them overnight and then had to get them out of the crock pot by candlelight. My kitchen gets no light, so you have to turn on the light, which I couldn't do, obviously. That's just one thing. I don't want to start complaining. That's just making me more upset. I also know that the next few days are gonna suck too, so that doesn't help. I have my stupid work party tomorrow at Corona Ranch and I am not really looking forward to it. Plus, on Sunday I was gonna try to leave work early to watch the game. But that can't happen. I have to do some coaching and I have an interview to be an official "on-boarding guide". That's what I did when I was helping the new hires when they first got on the phone. They are putting together a team of people to do it each time a new class starts. It's no more money and not a promotion, but they are still having us interview. So, I have to deal with that and I have dress up. None of these things are a problem, they are just things that I have to deal with and I would rather not. AUGH! I can't seem the bring myself out of the grumpy mood that I am in. AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

wet bed
This may be TMI, but bear with me.
Last night, I was up late watching Sex and the City in the living room when I heard Chris scream from the bedroom. At first I didn't think I was him. I thought it was someone outside because it was kind of muted. But then I heard more talking and then he walked out into the living room. He looked so confused. I switched into maternal mode and went in the bedroom to see what happened. There was this huge wet spot on the bed and on his pillow. It was soaked down to the mattress. We stripped the bed, dried the mattress and put clean sheets on the bed. The reason I am sharing this is because we have no idea how on earth this happened. It was so crazy. We started ruling things out. Definitely not pee. Totally wrong place for that to be it. It was not hot in the room, so it couldn't be sweat. Plus, even when it's 120 he does not soak the bed like that. Plus, and this is kinda gross but it's reality, it didn't smell like sweat. He had taken a shower before he went to bed, but he was dry when he got in bed. So, that wasn't it either. We kept looking around thinking if something had fallen from somewhere, but there was nothing. There was nothing on the headboard that could have caused that wetness and there was no spot on the ceiling. We couldn't figure it out. Did he puke water? He said he didn't think so. Plus that didn't smell like that either. It didn't smell at all. Meaning it was just regular water. It couldn't have come in from the window. Not only are we on the second floor, but his side of the bed is no where near the open window. How did this happen? This is crazy. We still cannot figure it out. It's the strangest thing.

Plus, even when it's 120 he does not soak the bed like that. Plus, and this is kinda gross but it's reality, it didn't smell like sweat. He had taken a shower before he went to bed, but he was dry when he got in bed. So, that wasn't it either. We kept looking around thinking if something had fallen from somewhere, but there was nothing. There was nothing on the headboard that could have caused that wetness and there was no spot on the ceiling. We couldn't figure it out. Did he puke water? He said he didn't think so. Plus that didn't smell like that either. It didn't smell at all. Meaning it was just regular water. It couldn't have come in from the window. Not only are we on the second floor, but his side of the bed is no where near the open window. How did this happen? This is crazy. We still cannot figure it out. It's the strangest thing.
There's a reason for the caps! Yes, I am yelling!
I JUST HAD A GUY TAKE A PISS WHILE FILING A CLAIM WITH ME. I HEAR THE SOUND AND I SAID TO MYSELF, 'PLEASE TELL ME THAT'S WATER.' AND THEN I HEAR IT - THE FLUSH!!!!!!! AND THE ZIP!!!!!!! THEN HE DIDN'T EVEN WASH HIS HANDS. THAT WATER I DIDN'T HEAR.
THAT IS THE NASTIEST THING IN THE WORLD. I AM GONNA HURL.

Yes ma'am
I just took a claim with the freak girl and after every thing I said, her response was, "Yes ma'am." I wanted to kill her! She was not saying it in a nice way either. It was getting on my last nerve. And to top it off, she had this southern accent that made it like nails on a chalk board. Mind you, I like listening to southern people talk, when I am not trying to get information from them. I sound really bad, but if you did my job, you would understand.
