Weekending

This weekend was a little all over the place. 

On Saturday, there was a weird cloudburst that came through our neighborhood, but seemingly nowhere else... 

Let me give some backstory, when we moved in we had 2 trees removed and part of our neighbors tree that was over our garage. In January, we had a new roof put on our house. Then, a few weeks ago we had a tree in our front yard split in half, so we had it and a tree in our backyard removed so that they wouldn't fall on our house. 

Ok, fast forward to this weekend. Well, back to the cloudburst- in the backyard we heard hisses and pops and saw bright flashes, the neighbors trees in the back had flown apart all Twister style and landed on the power line, there was electricity running bad and forth on her line. Then, we hear a big crash, look around and see nothing in our yard. It starts sprinkling and we see the fire department, so we go out. We look up- part of a neighbors tree feel on our house. This doesn't sound like a big deal... Or even look like that big of a deal....


Until you see the roof of the garage from the inside... 



Yes, that small 20 foot branch pierced, lanced even, our brand new roof. WTF?! So, we had to call our insurance and see how they wanted us to proceed. Essentially we were on our own, they don't have a preferred vendor, which shocked me. Either way, we got that shit figured out and now we are waiting for our roofing company to call back to give us an estimate on fixing our roof before another random cloudburst occurs.

That essentially was the hilight of our weekend. I joined Costco on Friday and did nothing all day on Sunday.

How was yours?!

Rando Ramblings

This post literally has nothing to do with anything except for random stuff that has been going on. Feel free to mock me if you like, I'm judging me a little too that this is the most exciting stuff I have to talk about.


  • Saturday, G and I went to the Royals game with a new couple that we met through his sister. For the first time ever in my life, I sat outside tailgating through an entire game. WHO IS THIS PERSON?! I missed the Royals win in the 10th inning, but stuffed my face with 2 kinds of kettle chips, jalapeƱo cheetos, and chips with dip. 

  • I have been watching the Real Housewives of Orange County and all I can think is how much I dislike, yet love this show and living vicariously through their crazy... I thought I was going to like Megan, you know since she isn't 55... but nope, she's shallow, judgy, and stubborn. As much as I hate to say it, I agree with Vicki-- you don't have a job, so you should consult with the person who brings in the money. Shannon, you just need to stop being a victim. That puss bag you married cheated on you. Either kick his ass out or move on. Oh, and I'm back to loving Tamra. She is back with a vengeance. That's all. 

  • This summer I have eaten worse than I imagined, but since I don't eat breakfast and eat a healthy dinner I have justified eating all the cheetos I want. Oh, and funyuns. 
  • Yup, I just admitted to eating cheetos twice in one post. Real life, bitches. Real life. 
  • I went to the cable place, in order to return our internet modem because we were mailed a new one and the return label that was sent with it said bill to sender upon receipt in the corner--- I took that to mean that if I returned it via the mail I would see a fee on my next bill. By the time I left the cable store, all my backhanded insults had gotten through and our bill is going down by $17/month, I got a new cable box where I now can DVR up to 6 channels at once and have 3x the storage, AND we got a different new internet modem because we got that upgraded even more. I felt like I had conquered the world. Then, I realized I still owe them way too much money every month.
