And this is why they call me the hamster lady

My daughters friend came back over yesterday and told me that her father was going to throw the hamster in the trash if she didn't find someone to take it. I went outside and got the hamster and brought it in, ken just looked at me like yeah, ok. lol I mean really what was he going to do? lol
Anway, Annie tells me that her dad has been telling her that he was going to step on it or put it in the garbage, and that just made me mad. Annie is just 8 years old. You don't say stuff like that to a young kid.
Now I'm normally a very quiet person. Really I am. lol
but make me mad and all bets are off.
I took the hamster and I didn't have enough money to get a cage this month and she brought it over in a small bowl, covered in oatmeal. It was ridiculous. The poor thing had oatmeal stuck to it's paws and underbelly.Annie didn't know any better, she thought oatmeal would be good bedding material and it would eat it too. So after I got it cleaned up I was wondering what I was going to put him in. I remembered that 2 months ago I bought this huge tupperware thing. I didn't know why I was buying it at the time and it has been sitting in my closet ever since. But it was just right for him for now. It's deep enough he can't get out and long enough he has alot of room to move around. So I set it up with a water bottle, bedding, food and food bowl and toys and he's so happy.
Then I went to talk to that stupid father of hers' Gosh he was like well I told her not to bring it in the house. Like duh, you idiot don't let her she's only 8 years old. I yelled at him and told him If I ever find out he's treated another animal like this one I would call animal control on him. He said he can't have animals in his apartment, I was like that didn't stop you from letting annie have a hamster in here. I don't understand why he didn't tell her to take it back the day she brought it home, she got it from another little girl. What an ass.
I told him he was the adult and needed to set an example for his kid and telling her he was going to step on it or throw it away was no way for an adult to act. He got mad at me and told me I needed to mind my own business, I said he was the adult and when you take in an animal you have a responsibility to take care of it. He just told me have fun with it and get out. What an ass.

Now this wasn't right!!!!

So yesterday my Apartment managers came to me and ken and said they were in a real bind, that that managers from another apartment complex moved out the night before with out any kind of notice and they had been choosen to find their replacements and they wanted to know if me and ken wanted to be the next Managers of this 72 apartment complex. Well Yeah!
I was like yes, this would be great, a salary a free 2 bedroom apartment with all utilities paid. Sounded great to both of us. So they said they would talk to us more later yesterday. They never came back over and wouldn't answer their phone when we called.
So finally today we saw them in the parking lot and asked them about it and they said they actually wanted to ask someone else first ...(the lady managers best friend) but if they didn't want ithen we could have it. WTF???
I looked at Ken and we both shook our heads and I said well just take us out of the consideration then, I'm not interested anymore. Yeah I was mad and they couldn't figure out why. Ken still thinks we should since the couple they asked said they weren't intersested and they came and told us that. But hey, that was just low what they did. Come and ask us first and then say oh wait I wanna ask someone else before I tell you , you can have it. Well why didn't they ask them first?
I've been totally ignoring my managers and they can Bite Me!~ I wouldn't help them now if they begged me to.
You just don't do that and think everything is fine.

Going to the Mall

Well I am so thoroughly tired right now, I can barely lift my hands to type. lol Well, maybe not that tired but I am worn out. I just spent 5 hours in the Mall with my 13 year old daughter, going from one store to the next. We spent most of our time in Hot Topic. It's a Gothic store, and she loved everything she saw but she was hesitant to part with her $55.00 she earned in the past 2 weeks , pulling weeds for our apartment manager. So she would pick this and that up, then put something back pick something else back up, put it down, then ask me for more money, of which I said no. lol She has to learn that if you have so much money that's what you spend. So she ended up buying a black lace shirt with purple t-shirt type material underneath, a few of those rubber bracelets that are so popular with the kids, a pink and black skull belt, a studded wrist band, and a faery t-shirt.
Then we went to Torrid, another gothic type store, except it's for the "bigger" girls, lol I found a few shirts in there for me. lol She bought a nightgown that's black lace. It's really cute, I think ken might not like it, but hey, she's old enough to wear nice nightgowns if she wants to. It came with a robe and it's long enough that it looks really cute. It's not like she's going to school in the thing. It's not like we went to Frederick's of Hollywood and got something with holes where the breasts are suppossed to be. LOL lol Can you tell I just know ken's going to think I let her buy something to "grown up?" yeah well he can bite me. I didn't see him going to the mall. At least I didn't let her get the t-shirt that she couldnt figure out but that she wanted. It had a Rooster standing by a large sucker on it. Now think about it. and you'll understand why I didn't let her get it. LMAO She still has no idea. lol
We went by See's Candy and I bought us both ne of those hard chocolate suckers, then we went to the Pet shop and looked at all the animals. When we left she started sneezing, I really thought as long as she didn't pet the dogs or cats this time she would be ok, but no. The allergies got to her and she took a Benadryl when we got home, if all that walking didn't tire her ass out I'm sure the Benadryl will. lol

Mormons at my door.

Today I had some Mormon Missionaries at my door. Now I was nice. lol Usually when the new Pastor for the church up the street comes around I say stuff like "Can't talk right now I'm about to sacrifice a chicken to the oven gods" lol But My dad was a Mormon Missionary when he was younger and I grew up a Mormon, I'm not one anymore but when I was a kid I went Primary school at the church. So when they asked me if they could come in and talk about Christ, I nicely but emphatically said I wasn't religious and didn't want to talk right now. I found out that my MOTHER sent the to my place. She has been having bible study every week and she didn't tell me. She really should have known better. They wouldn't take a hint and friggin leave. I finally had to say that I did my time in church and wouldn't be going back. The one guy had the nerve to ask me if I wanted to go to hell. I looked at him and said " Well maybe at least I won't have you people bothering me there" and then I closed the door. He pissed me off.

To me religion is a boring subject, especially when your not interested. Why is religion so boring? I don't know but it is, at least to me. I can think of several things less boring , the first being, watching grass grow. I would much rather spend my Sundays at the movie theatre watching a good movie. At least at the theatre I can choose what to worship that day depending on what mood I am in at the time. Do I feel like...Thrillers, Action, Slasher, drama, Horror, Aliens, Romance...ect..Different genres just as the different denominations invite a more active audience participation. That feeling of total euphoria and aew in the presence of a great film is something very few people in church are likely to feel these days. We get from film what we don't get from church or anywhere else..You can sit in your seat and be transported back in time, to another world, watching demons emerge from the walls or watch as life begins anew.

Some days I wish I had never gotton out of bed...

What a strange day I've had. First I go to the store at 5am this morning, because I couldn't sleep and I figured why not get some shopping done before it get brain boiling hot outside. Even tho it was only 98 degree's today..Oh and don't forget we in nevada get "a dry heat" Yeah tell me that when when it's 115 degrees out side and YOUR air in your car goes out. heh.

Anyway so I come back from the store and what do I find on my door step? Oh c'mon you'll never ever guess this one. Ok, I'll tell ya. I find Mr. loud Music from next door alseep in front of my door and half infront of his door. Alseep, yeah more like passed out from a long night of drinking. 6am and I have an arm full of bags and no way to get in my apartment. I put my bags down and go around the back and knock on my bedroom window and wake up Ken. He's looking at me like I'm an alien out the window and I motion for him to open the window, when I tell him what the problem is he just looks at me like, you have got to be kidding, right? I go around to the front and music man is still sleeping, sprawled out in front of my door. Now there is NO way that I can get this huge man up, so Ken has no way to get out of the apartment. LOL He gets a screwdriver and prys open the front window screen and pops it off and climbs out, by now he's pissed. He shakes music man realllly hard and the guy hardly moves. So he does what any pissed off man would do to a drunk laying in front of his door. He slapped him across the face. LOL and yelled at him to get the hell up. lol We finally got the keys out of the guys pants pocket and I took his feet as Ken took his upper body and half carried half dragged him in his apartment. Now guess who shows up right as we get music man on his couch? Yep, the apartment manager. He said someone called him and said we were yelling at someguy in front of our door. LOL Poor tom (the manager) can't stop laughing when we tell him what happened. I can laugh now but at the time it wasn't funny. I havent seen music man but I wonder if he remembers how he got inside?

Neighbors

What the heck am I still doing up? I never even went to sleep last night. Nothing like a great case of insomnia to start the day off, eh? Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the guy next door has been playing his stereo so loud all night that all I can think about is having his head hanging from my wall? Oh yeah, I went and knocked on his door but guess what, he didn't answer, you know why? Because he isn't even home! That's right, his stereo is up loud as hell and I know why, you see we've been through this before. He sleeps in his living room and sets his stereo to go off as his alarm clock but sometimes for what ever reason it goes off again after he leaves at night for work and it stays on all night. So, I'm up at 4 am waiting for 6am to roll around when I know he'll be coming home from work and I plan on catching his little butt before he gets inside and giving him a small but very angry, piece of my mind. I could have called the apartment managers and had them go into his apartment and turn the stereo down but if I did that again they were going to give him a 30 day no cause to move out. Well, that's what they told him last time and since it seems I'm the only one who couldn't sleep last night I figured I would just make sure he knows that he OWS ME!
Plus, I didn't want to be the cause he gets kicked out, but he doesn't need to know that know does he. ?
