As I have mentioned quite a few time, becasue we were not excited at all about it :), our friends moved into our building last Saturday. We helped them get settled and then enjoyed spending time with them without a 15 minute drive home at the end of the night. Of course no move is completely smooth. Nothing was broke but the furniture didn't get there until 9:30 pm and had to be squeezed through the door. Their only other issue was with comcast, which isn't that a given, and the ice maker. Sunday is when the real fun began. I woke up with bug bites on my legs and they spent the night with no air. We got their air fixed but my day did not go as well. I took a little tumble in the parking lot when I was walking Auburn. Our feet got tangled together because she was not paying attention to where she was going. She got stepped on, whimpered, and then went in the direction I was going trying not to step on her again. Next thing I know the ground was getting much closer to my face. My hip, palms, and right foot got the blunt of it but I was ok. It really scared Auburn. She came over and sat right next to me. Poor thing.
Monday I woke up with more bug bites. The bad thing was they itched like CRAZY!! I washed everything I could think of and vacuumed the mess out of the house. When I woke up with more bites on Wednesday I went crazy. (we were at over 30 bites all on my legs) I tore up the bedroom, vacuuming and cleaning every inch of the bed. The oddest thing is I was the only one with bites. No body that helped move had them, Ryan and Sarah did not have them, the dogs nor Doug had them. It was JUST ME! I went to the doctor to get some cream to help with the itch and I was thrilled when it worked (I was about to start gnawing my legs off) and I did not wake up to any more on Thursday.
Sunday we introduced Murphy, Ryan & Sarah's pug, and Auburn. They are still figuring each other out but I am hoping they become best friends. Their play styles are different (Auburn is more of a tug of war, chase me kind of a dog where Murphy is a fetch ball, bring it to you dog.) I am hoping Auburn picks up some good behaviors like "bring it to me" and "give it to me". Ha! She likes to keep it and make you chase her. SMH!
Thursday was made interesting when the pot of boiling water caught on fire. Not sure how it happened but I am guessing there was something under the eye that caught fire. I was making salmon patties, noticed the billowing smoke coming out from underneath the pot and saw the ash falling from the sky, then looked under the pot to see the flames. Doug had his headphones on, playing XBox, so I had to run into his bedroom to get him. I scared him to death elbowing him, hands full of salmon patties, screaming, "FIRE!" Ha! He put it out but we had ash from the kitchen to the dining room and all the way to the living room. Doug was not happy about cleaning the house two nights in a row but this one he could not blame on me. Needless to say, Friday we ate out for dinner. :)
Saturday was the first in awhile Doug and I split up. He went with Ryan to get him a new phone (he cracked his screen and the SIM card stopped working) while Sarah and I went shopping. She was still needing to get stuff for the house and I had groceries to buy so we teamed up in our errands. I also got the chance to introduce her to Home Goods. I think she liked it. I have to limit my trips there because that store is truly dangerous to the bank account. :) After that we met back up for lunch at Red Robin and then prepared for the main event. Doug had found a place not far from our house that had 50+ mph go carts. Unfortunately the wait was 2 hrs+ when we got there so that got put on hold. Looking at the track, it was small; so I am not sure if the 50 mph will be reached but I know they will try. To get their man-adrenaline out, they went to the shooting range. After that it was dinner at Olive Garden and XBox (yeah not Sarah and my's idea). All in all, it was a great Saturday spent with great friends. Definitely something we needed with my crazy week and Doug having inventory this week.
