Ah, a proud moment!

I did it!!!! I stood up to the "neighbor"--the one that I was stuck with at the Zoo last week....the one that seems to stalk my every move. We met them when they moved in next to us at our old house. I got her a job at the bank....she left quickly for another job (yet still to this day I hear about how horrible she was treated at the bank, etc etc...while I still work there!) We contracted on our house and they magically contracted on one across the street and down a few lots. Granted, they didn't have the credit for it, but managed to find a buyer so they could rent it, so they live across the street. Told her about my job at church and VIOLA! She's working at church. Is there any part of my life that I can have all to myself? Guess not.

Anywho...this whole court case thing is about over now (I hope!) with our old landlord and there's still one thing not resolved. Kristen and her husband (Mark) "took" the lawnmower from the old houses...we shared it. It stopped working, we gave it to them to fix/use/whatever and we bought our own, all with the knowledge of the landlord. We got sued in November and one thing in the lawsuit was this lawnmower. When K and M moved out here, they "accidentally" moved it with their belongings. Then the story changed to say that the landlord told them to keep it. Whatever, we are being sued for it, so return the damn thing. The time has come to pay the $200 fine and return the mower and is it too much to ask that THEY return the mower? I mean really...Terry and I didn't "take it" for them...why should WE have to return it? I told her today that we are too busy, quite honestly, to be in charge of returning it, when they have it. Terry works 75 hours a week and I work 30. She took offense....mind you, she doesn't work at all in the week (barely does laundry, let alone housework, but that's none of my beeswax) and M only works when it's nice outside...he's in construction. So what do they do all day? Well I can tell you what they AREN'T doing....returning that stupid mower. ARGH! People really just don't know how to be LAW ABIDING and DO THE RIGHT THING anymore....or maybe it's just these two. Whatever the case...I'm done with them. I don't need people like that in my life....and I don't want them. So there... (spoken like a true 5 year old would say it!)
