mutiny and mahem

Tonight we over-through our homeowners association board completely! Five for five. Putting it bluntly, we kicked their ass to the curb!

But it was completely uneventful. We marched in prepared for battle, but when we threw down our proxy sheets and they saw we had a quorum on our side...they backed down like little girls with pee pee pants. Damn it-took all the fun out of it. We called for nominations and tossed out five names. They didn't even put their names in the ring as they could see the writing on the wall.

Sadly, I was disappointed. I wanted to do battle. (I know, I'm an awful person.) Our board has been horrible and unreasonable. They wouldn't ever listen to anyone. One woman, Pamela, what a witch, I wanted her to speak up, but not a darn word. However, if looks could kill...we'd all be dead.

It was a very good feeling though and we were all very happy. We whistled a happy tune as we walked home.

At our meeting last Dec. when they wouldn't listen to about 25 of us all complaining about a contract they were about to sign with an alarm company we didn't want...and they said too bad, we don't have to listen because we make the decisions...all I have to say to them now is "Bye Bye!"

Gad that feels great!

Blah

Nothing remotely interesting happening in my life! I think I need to go out and tie a good one on...at least I will have something to blog about.

Our home association meeting is tonight and we are over-throwing the entire board that is in place now...and we have the votes to do it...this should be interesting! If all hell breaks loose tomorrow's blog might be worth reading.

got me thinking

Jess posted she found a dryer sheet stuck in her clothes while running and wondered if it happened to anyone else, this got me thinking...

I don't run...hell I can hardly walk...but I can relate to the dryer sheet dilemma. I find them stuck everywhere. I consider myself lucky if I find them before the dog-who loves to chew/shred them!

FYI They are handy to use in a lot of places other than dryers...here are a few ways I use them:
Stick them in stinky shoes.
Place them across your air ducts to filter the dust and make the place smell great.
Stuff them inside your pillow cases, under sheets for that just so fresh smell at night.
Put one in your luggage when you put it away after a trip.
Put one in each closet and drawer.
Put one in the dirty clothes hamper.
Stuff one behind the pillows of your couch.

These are just a few places I use them...does anyone else do this??? If not, try it.

Happy Easter

Finally posting a quick note. I will bring you up to speed.

I have been busy with family and havn't had time to go online. We have been having a ball though. They left this morning so I guess my routine will go back to normal-darn.

The neighbors have decided to adopt the stray kitty I have been feeding and worrying over. They are taking her to the vet this week and then she is going to be their office cat. I hope she will get the love she deserves. I will miss her, she and I have grown quite attached to one another.

Hope you had a great day....Happy Easter.

Across the pond

Yesterday I drove across the pond (aligator alley) to have lunch, shopping and dinner with my cousin and her friend. We had an amazing time. The best part was sitting -visiting- by her pool. It was windy and cold but still a great time.

One of the stores we went to had the coolest T-shirts, they were "old timers" with John Wayne's picture and a saying. They were cooler than they sound...I swear...I almost bought one.

We hit the best of everything jewelery store...I did go nuts there, mostly gifts, some even for me. I went into a Coldwater Creek store and splurged on a shirt and capris for myself, shouldn't have but oh well.

Day done...fun fun!

Crazy Family

My brother, sister-in-law and their kids came to visit. So as my cousin, who is more like my sister, was in Naples visiting her best friend I invited them to brunch. We made it Easter actually and gave the kids baskets etc. at the same time. In my small place with everyone trying to help, visit, play with Rylee and eat it was quite the circus. There were several conversations going at once, arguing politics, disagreeing about school systems, planning the rest of the day and Shannon said, "this is what I miss. This feels like the old days at Grandma and Grandpa's! It's so good to be around our big, noisy, loud, fun, crazy family! I agree!

(Later in the day it got completely "bizarro"...I am hoping Shannon will blog about that fiasco it makes me tired just thinking about it...but if not I will later. Suffice to say it was a cluster f...!)

Twilight part two

Managed to find time to watch Twilight two more times today and re-read the entire Twilight book...I have way to much free time on my hands these days! (Also, I don't sleep.) I really did enjoy it though! Hope I don't wear out the movie before I give it back to Shannon, might have to buy her new copy.

In regards to those who can't watch a movie repeatedly...that has never been my problem. If I love it there is no end to how many times I see it.
