Diana...Then you don't want to come here ever...LOL! Tim has lived in this house his whole life he bought the house from his parents, and his parents still havent moved all their crap with good reason, (they moved out a year ago in Jan, and then his mom was really sick, and ended up passing, and his dad cant handle going through the things yet.) So I completely understand why, but at times I am going insane!
All in time I guess...We are redoing the kitchen this summer and just purchased my dream appliances (
Best Buy has no interest for 24 months this week)....Kitchen Aid Stainless Steel .
..Fridge...Stove...Over the stove microwave, and a dishwasher...I cant wait! No more having to wash all the dishes! And the good news is that we have a 2nd kitchen in the basement, so when the kitchen is torn up I can still cook, and not have to eat my kids favorite choice for dinner!
This week was a pretty interesting week for me at work, we purchased a new intra-oral camera and moniters...they were finally installed this week. The guy who sold them to us promised to be out 3 different times and cancelled 2 of the 3, so I called him Thursday night to make sure he was showing up on Friday. He was at the airport at 7pm on his way he said. Then he asked for directions from 950 N Michigan (downtown Chicago) to our office in the burbs. I told him to take the train, and gave him the correct directions. He said great hes staying with a friend and will be there at 12 noon to install, but would call at 10 am. I had this gut instinct that this guy was going to go out, and not show. So at 10:30 am I call him, he doesnt answer. He calls back about 5 minutes later sounding like death warmed over. Say to me "I'm hopping in a cab and going to be there in 30 min" I laugh and say see ya soon, knowing a cab ride from the city is going to be expensive, and take longer than 30 mins. He calls an hour later from the ghetto...The cab driver who spoke little english took him to the south side of the city. The cabbie gets on the phone with me, and says "I at your office, he no wanna get out" I laugh, and say "no way, are you in Willowbrook?" He says "No we in Chicago" I tell him he has to take I-55 south, to the exit we are at. He says I take 75th st west to I-55??? I am trying not to laugh at this guy, I said no 75th doesnt connect to 55...he says ok I fix this.
30 minutes later the cabbie calls back to ask what exit again. I tell him, and in about 20 mins at 12:20 the guy comes stumbling in saying the cabbie wanted $120, but he only gave him $30. He was still drunk from the night before. So I figure I better help him install, so it gets done today, and correct. As we are unpacking this, he pulls out the directions and says he ahs never done an install before. I knew I was in for it now. So we get all the moniters connected to the polls on the chairs, why hes telling me about his bar adventures the night before, and how he still has double vision and his phone is consistantly ringing. Now we need to make the Dish network work with the moniters, and he has no clue!!! He tells me he will find out, and call me! Then offers me a job, because I learn fast. He has to go at this point because he has a flight back to Detroit for the Tigers/Sox game! So he
leaves, and I look at the wires to attach the Dish network, and have it figured out in less than 5 minutes.
Then Yesterday, he called to see how everything was working???? Duh...Great because of who??? Not you!!! He then asked if I thought about the job demoing cameras to other doctors...I told him to get a salary package together and call me back, havent heard from yet! Too funny!!!!
All of the supplies, wood, insulation, scafolding sat under the 4 feet of snow all winter long. So this weeked, sunny, beautiful, warm--you would think the dummy would clean up his yard or at least continue with his construction project? Nope--he opened his swimming pool. 
We put all our bikes, etc. into the back yard to sweep out the floor, and two people stopped to ask if we were having a yard sale!
1 year!! That's a long time to have things in shambles, even for me. Good thing for us, we're coming up on that 1 year anniversary, so hopefully there is a light at the end of the tunnel. And, I hope the neighbor doesn't get anymore grand ideas anytime soon. 
I would have practiced my kickboxing on that guy!! Those cameras are pretty cool though, my dentist has one, although I prefer to not see in my mouth. 
Is it May yet? 
Have a great weekend everyone!
