Apartment Living...

AAHHH Apartment living...there isn't really a way to describe it! Sometimes I come home and think I love our little home it's cute and quaint. Then other times when the neighbors are loud and rude and smoke so much you can smell it through the floor I start to count to days until I have my own little house! So today I was looking in the hall and decided I should let you all have a little taste of our apartment complex. It's made up of REALLY old people (who have invited me to play cards with them) and just a handful of younger party people. So we aren't allowed to have any pets here except a cat....yet the lady down the hall has a couple of cats that bark really loud....hmmm....anyone else ever met a cat that barks? She also has this rug outside her door...yeah it has dog bones on it too!
Moving on then we have the CRAZY lady down the hall that insists on putting all her crap right outside her door for everyone to see. Right now she has a giant oil painting with a huge gold frame around it and a wagon full of old newspapers. She however she was feeling a little bit festive and put this out as well for everyone to "enjoy" yeah not quite sure what to say are you? Well don't be expecting me to find out where she got it. I'm not knocking on that door if you pay me. (she also has tons of wind chimes, plants, and the round gazing balls on stands on the porch) yikes! (there is more to go with this post in the next post it was to big to do together)

Next comes the neighbor that has so much stuff they like to "decorate" the staircase with it. This person put their half dead plant right in the way so that you have to walk almost over it to make the turn to get to the door. Maybe next time you could keep that little beauty to yourself!
Then theirs us....we do have a baby that likes to make a lot of noise (I'm sure it's annoying too) but we keep to ourselves and never put our bags full of garbage in the hall or our running shoes that STINK outside in the hall either (that's the other neighbor Chris hates! He says he has some stinky stuff he'd like to leave in the hallway if he thought it was allowed!) Anyway, we keep to ourselves and try not to be to loud. We celebrate Christmas with a little sign on the door that doesn't get in anyones way...unlike crazy Santa lady. This is all coming to the point that maybe someone should write a book like "How to be a good apartment dweller for dummies"! Anyone want to take that idea and run with it that would be great (we could use some free copies in this building!)

The Office Party!

So Chris's work had a party this Thursday night at a hotel about 2 1/2 hours away to celebrate their successful year. Well needless to say it was once again a drinking fest the whole night for everyone except...us! Drinks before, during, and LOTS after dinner. So Chris and I were the only ones who walked around this morning before we left because everyone else was so hung over so we thought we might as well take a few pictures. The place was gorgeous just in the middle of no where (I think they picked it because of the wine and other drinks) oh well at least we got a night out and free dinner!
