I had a strange weekend.
Friday night: While I am tidying up my house for the arrival of new babykitty my mother in law stops by and asks if she can have a Dr Pepper. I am like ok, no prob- what’s up? Her: Oh my car was stolen about an hour ago… me: :eek: Yep, stole her BMW ('89 633csi) right out of thier garage. How? Ok, her fault mostly. She was bringing in groceries and must’ve droped her keys in the garage. Some person strolling down the street sees open garage, walks into garage to see what there is to steal, sees said keys on floor BAM makes off with car. So she stopped by because she was out looking for her car (right, in a valley over 50 miles wide with 1.5 mil people- you’re never seeing that car again…) I didn’t want to be negative, but said good luck- hopefully because she noticed it was gone so soon- maybe they would find it :dubious:
Bring babykitty home- hissing and growling ensues from other three cats who are apparently not happy with new babykitty. I am seemingly stricken with a bout of insomnia and have no ability to fall asleep even though I am very tired.
Saturday: I wake up late (after being up most of the night) for my nail appointment, nearly an hour late. But something strange- her 10 am appointment showed up early, and since I was late I just inadvertantly switched places with the other appointment- wierd, but just coincidental. Then just slept for most of the day because I didn’t get any sleep the night before. Three cats still not happy with new babykitty, but less growling and hissing. Babykitty did however fend off her canned babykitty food from one of my other cats (2lbs v. 13lbs- she’ll do just fine here…)
Sunday:Woo Hoo new appliance day (insert happy dance figure here). New dryer, new refrigerator YAY!! They come to deliver appliances. Out goes the old dryer and in comes the new dryer. No problems. Now comes the refrigerator.
Sears guy:Not gonna fit in your kitchen
Me: Whaddya mean it wont fit?
SG:The door into the kitchen is to small, even if we take the doors of, still too big. (husband measuring frige)
Husband: take the hinges off as well as the doors it will fit, tight but it will fit
SG: 
H: see door is blah inches deep, fridge is blah-1 inches deep w/o the doors and hinges.
SG: You can’t take the hinges off, they wont go back on (me going wtf??)
H:Um, they are held on by screws, they can be taken off and go back on.
SG: we cant do that
H: just leave the darned thing Ill put it in myself
SG:well Ok. I tell you it is impossible… not gonna fit
Me: :rolleyes:
The Sears guy call his supervisor to tell them they couldn’t complete the install on the fridge, because it wont fit through the door to the kitchen but we are insisting he leave the thing here to do it ourself. They leave, husband calls his brother They have it in the kitchen in less than 2 hours after Sears guys leave… pffft impossible my big toe… I am thinking of taking a picture of it in my kitchen, taking it to Sears and telling them to give it to our delivery guys. <I do understand that them not taking the hinges off is probably some sort of liabilty thing for them, but come on>
Father in law calls; He got a call from the California Border Patrol; they found the Beemer. It was caught coming back into the US from mexico with a 17 y/o kid from Utah behind the wheel. A CHP officer thought it was a bit wierd that a young looking kid would have a really nice BMW, and ran the plates for stolen car. Voila! The car was stopped, kid arrested, he confessed: blah blah crime of opportunity blah blah. He is going to be charged with grand theft auto and burgulary. Husbands’ P’s flew down to San Diego to get the car out of impound today, CHP said no damage on the car at all. I say dumb luck that the car was found with no/minimal damage (here is to hopin’) and hopefullly the kid didn’t wreck the engine :rolleyes:
Sunday night:Husband and I go out to get a quick dinner. we come out of the resteraunt and I said “look, it looks like my old Saturn” H: sure does Me: Crap, the is a darwin fish on it that I had put on and the little hairline crack on the bottom of the trunk lid H: laughing Me: holy crap it is my old car that I traded in in January. I got a kick out of that- what would be the odds on that one-- oh well…
If you made it this far, thanks for “listening” me ramble about my very odd weekend
