Apparently I am narcissistic enough to think that the hundred 5 or 6 or so enquires mean you all really want to know what the heck happened? So here it goes…
A wrap up of sorts of the latest drama from my little corner of the Suburbs.
The coveted house we tried to purchase in Florida.
Actually, this is the third vacation home we have put a FULL price offer on. This one though, I was excited about. Our offer was accepted by the seller then…rejected by the bank. We surrender. We quit. This is some kind of sign. It’s decided, from now on we will only be causing trouble in these Suburbs up here in Canada, nothing in Florida. You just have to tell us three times we are not welcome. We are all kinds of smart like that.
Baseball and Summer Camps with Nice Enough Girl, and her Mama that I simply can’t stand! I decided to eat the guilt along with a bunch of antacids for the ulcer I am surely creating. My SweetGirl will never know that Nice Enough Girls Pushy Mama was “accidentally” left off all e-mails and correspondence when it came to coordinating camps and Baseball. I am surely going to hell….Do you think Pepcid or Rolaids is looking to sponsor a blogger?
The emotive Good Enough To Touch Her Boobs But Not Good Enough To Go To My BFF Wedding. Yah, want to know what I did? I whined on my blog, cried in my pillow and then in my proudest moment, I got all passive aggressive and weepy with my bestie. I told her it broke my heart to think of her standing up there at the alter all alone, that if she decided she needed me I could make plans to fly down south and be there with her in an instant! She said “Awe Thanks”. Seriously. In other words, she didn’t take the bait. No invite for me. She got married without a single one of her friends present. I still love her and hope she doesn’t look back one day and regret her decision. Sigh.
Oh yes! The time we set the bedroom on fire and had to haul this baby downstairs in the middle of the night in nothing but our gitch. Fabulous. Not at all embarrassing. We lived without a fireplace in our bedroom for about a month. We were cold. This is Canada people! We replaced that dangerous piece of crap electric fireplace with a brand new shiny one! Pray for us.
So there you go, more then you could have ever wanted to know. As long as you keep coming back to read my sordid tales and embarrassing confessions, I will keep dishing them out.
Thanks for listening. It is so much cheaper then therapy!
Mwah.

here in the states they have an infomercial for these faux fireplaces made by amish people. allegedly (per the infomercial) they are super safe and can heat up a room to 1 billion degrees while saving 3 trillion dollars on heating costs.
um. maybe not exactly that much… i was only half listening. 😛

I’m glad your house didn’t burn down with that thing! Speaking of houses, sorry you didn’t get your Florida home. 🙁 I can’t believe they rejected a full price offer!
Joey @ Big Teeth and Clouds says
Prilosec is probably still sponsoring people to do whatever they want. Some find that it works even better than Rolaids!
Sara @ Domestically Challenged says
Obviously the banks are mental. Totally. Oh, and I’m sorry your friend didnt take the hint!
Gigi says
I love that you came back and tidied all this up for me. It’s all been in the back of my brain – wondering whatever happened with….
Glad you left Pushy Mom off the email list. No one needs that kind of drama.
Marty says
Suck on some antacids (is that what you use for ulcers?) lol…Good luck with the fireplace…When searching for our new home I looked at a house with a fireplace in it…love it=)
Brittany is awesome…I almost can’t stomach Rachael though, what about you?

Emmy says
YEAH! So glad you left her name off the list. Is that so bad of me? Hmm now I am feeling guilty too 🙂
Missed the wedding one, going to read that post now.
Unknown Mami says
I still can’t believe you weren’t invited to the wedding. I feel your pain.
Andrea says
That’s why we rent here in Florida, the banks are stupid! There is such a vast inventory but they won’t do anything about it. So annoying!
