We get cultured
We have yet to hang any signs, but after we left the apartment yesterday for the afternoon showings and returned to find that Shady McSlumlord had picked up Cletus' toys and sprayed some kind of stanky cleanser into our freshly mildewed air, we made sure to position mousetraps in prime locations around the kitchen.In other news...
Tickets to the Field Museum? $28.00. Gassing up the car for the 45-minute drive to the city in bumper-to-bumper traffic? $30.00. Parking at the Field Museum? $15.00. Acquiring enough fruit leather and pretzels to mollify a stroller-contained toddler for roughly one hour while parental units gaze upon dinosaur bones? $5.00.
Getting off the highway at the first exit and scrapping the whole plan in favor of going for coffee and then sitting in a bookstore reading Tori Spelling's autobiography (me) and a paperback about punk rock (him) while Cletus damaged merchandise we were not about to pay for, all before going out for a dinner of hot dogs and cheese fries? Priceless.

She sprayed your air AND touched toys that don't belong to her?
Please please PLEASE put the signs up. It is your duty as a screwed-over tenant. Make HER life miserable.
And maybe spread some of Cletus' generous fecal matter on those toys that are going to be left out next time she shows the place...
WTF? Who gave her permission to touch any of your stuff. That's a special kind of balls, I'll tell ya. gee.z
mmmm.... cheese fries
This is so awesome! Yay for kicking back with the poor broke Tori for whom my heart constantly bleeds.
That sounds like a fabulous day! :) We had a case of food poisoning, a stir crazy toddler and a fun filled trip to Target. Oh - and since my husband was sick he got to pick what was on TV. Uh...we watched Convoy with Kris Kristofferson from 1978 distributed by a company called Cheesey Flicks. Yeppers. Where are my cheese fries?
(I'll be back soon??? Maybe???)
OHMYGOD Melinda, I have missed you. I have not turned on my laptop in literally one year and lost my bookmarks. (Though I never forgot you) I haven't checked your site in that long (the horror, I know, fellow Melinda-blogites). Thank you for lifting a huge weight off my shoulders. I just read all the posts, or nearly all, that I have missed and you have made me laugh, cry, wet myself and feel generally better about the world because there is an articulate, intelligent and funny person like you in it. For reals. (I have a son Cletus' age named Marcos and we lived in Mexico - so's you know who is reading you again.) :)
I totally have the Tori book on request from the library.
pffffff- so i'm not the only one who lets their kids play with the books at the bookstore. oh good.
