We made it alive

Todd hit his summer goal in AZ!!! 102 sales!!!! We made the 14 hour drive to Texas yesterday and it was horrible! We both had to drive because we had both our cars. We ate at this hole in the wall restaurant if you can call it that. The lady didn't know the different types of cheeses. Our 12 yr old waitress just said I don't know its white cheese. Who would of thought our next meal would be a step up at Denny's. Before eating we took a luxorious 45 minute nap in the parking lot of Denny's because we were exhausted. It is so much easier when you have someone driving with you and you can take turns driving. I used to complain with even that when I traveled but I was half tempted to pick someone up and ask them drive while I slept. It was a nice suprise to find that our apt out here was very nice and it came with free cable and internet that the company paid for, where were you in Tucson APX? One month here then back to MO. The good news is its only a 9 hour drive from here which is a walk in the park!

LIARS LIARS LIARS

I was going to take over the office phones, paper work and cleaning checks for the last three weeks of the summer season because the girl was leaving early with her husband who plays basketball for his school. To make this long story shorter lets just get to it. They were skeet about the whole thing! Her husband told Todd that I would be getting paid one price for the three weeks back in June when they were planning this...before I even came out here. Then the day they were leaving he told Todd is was half that amount and Todd told me that night. When I found out that it was half the price I was livid! I was so mad that they decided to tell Todd, not me, and use him as a middle man to give them time to get out of town before I knew in hopes that I would be stuck doing the job anyway. I told the manager what had happened and that I wasn't going to do that much work for that little pay. To paint a picture without soomeone answering the phone calls the office CANNOT function. I could tell they were frustrated that I wouldn't do it. I told them that if they wanted to pay me what I was promised then I will do it. Anyway, they had another guys wife do it for a couple days then Todds Mom was going to take over. So I got stuck doing it for two days till she got back in town. When she called corporate to tell them she would be doing the job and she needed the paperwork to fill out they had no idea the girl had left. So they didn't tell the company they were leaving and she was going to get her paycheck then cheat me and give me a little portion. You know me though, I don't keep quiet. I wasn't going to sit back and accept it and because of that they got caught in their lies! And apparantly they left early to go on a timeshare vacation with her family....basketball...hmmmm?? Oh don't worry they are trying to lie about it still saying they were only taking a week off and she was going to do the calls the last two weeks from Oregon off her cell. WOW, stop lying people!!!

HOLY COW, WAIT YOUR TURN!

Our apt complex has a gym in the clubhouse which only has like one of everything so you have to share. With a former olymic runner always hogging the treadmill due to her addiction to endorphins its hard to snag some time but today I came across a new problem...we have crazy people too! OK, heres the deal...I'm walking on the treadmill for my warm-up. I stop to stretch before I get back on to run. While I'm stretching some lady I don't know climbs over me and steals the treadmill from me. WHAT! I can see if I had been on there for a long time already or if I had completely walked away. BUT, I had been on there for not even 5 minutes AND the fact that she decided to basically straddle me and give me a show I didn't want made this a very very awkward. I was like whoa, did that just happen, haha! I decided to avoid this already interesting situation and use the elliptical instead. If I ever see her in there again I'm leaving and coming back at a different time.

Haters!

We're out her in Tucson for the summer and we are staying in apts. The people below us hate us! They usually keep our unit empty so they are mad they don't have the space and complete silence they are used to. So, we think they are trying to get us kicked out. A couple weeks ago management called us and said they got complaints of loud noises from our apt and blaring music till 4am and all this stuff. We explained to them that none of these things were true etc. We thought it was all good until a cop was knocking at our door. Yes, they called the cops on us, WOW! Jesse, the cop, said the neighbors say it sounds like we are jumping up and down on the floor every night from about 10pm-2am. We talked to Jesse and got it cleared up and by that I mean we all decided these people are crazy. Jesse was way cool and we just chilled for a while and he told us some cool cop stories and Todd made plans to set up security in his new home but we are still pissed that our neighbors are making up stuff in hopes we get the boot so they can have our covered parking space and nobody living above them. I told Jesse I think they are just bitter because they are older and still living in an apt and can't afford a house and they shouldn't take it out on us. Maybe if he didn't waste his money on alcohol and cigs...just a suggestion Mr. crazy neighbor man...

WASTE!

So, I got the cable for my camera...waste!!!! It's broken. So that means no pictures still. I have pictures, you just can't see them. So, this is our official invitation for anyone to buy us a new camera...don't hold back people...you know you want to.

Can't post pics and Texas here we come!

I was going to post some picures today then realized I left my cable back in MO. The fam is mailing it out to me so I'll have pics up as soon as I get it! We also found out today that our extension month will be in Dallas, TX! We have never been there before and were excited to live there and check it out for the month of Sept. In Oct we will finally be done for the summer and on our way back to MO!!! It is fun to travel around and see new places but there is no place like home :)

We are bloggin now!

I'll get some stuff up asap!
