Look what I found...

So in browsing the interwebz for places to live (now that we will soon be homeless) I have come across some real winners, but my favorite by far has to be this little gem:

I mean, who WOULDN'T want to live in a TWO STORY mobile home??? hahahaha Can you even imagine what the neighbors must think of the people who live in this bad boy - talk about trying to keep up with the Joneses! haha

disclaimer: we will not be moving into a mobile home park
(or so I hope - unless of course it is a two story, then maybe I will consider it, haha jk!!)

sleepy!

this weekend seemed to drag on forever.

Josh left Friday for a hockey tournament in LA so I was home alone (in relative terms, Stephanie was home) without him. I hate when he is gone, I can't sleep and I am always so cold because he keeps the bed so warm haha.

I stayed up way too late Friday AND Saturday watching the Olympics, I love the Olympics.

I worked Saturday and a split shift on Sunday because we had our inventory for work, we counted 6,883 units in our store. This coming Sunday our staff is going to see Valentine's Day as a group so that should be fun.

Other than that, we are still trying to figure out what to do with our living situation and see if/when we get our notice served to us. So annoying!

I'm feeling pretty tired and so ready for my 3 day weekend in a few weeks for my Dad's 50th birthday... just counting down the days!

And just a little something for all of you ladies out there, considering I forgot to do an iPhone Foto Friday (UGH! Stupid landlord!)...

Today we put in a work request for the lock on our door to be repaired at work and this is what we were sent! Hallelujah!! hahaha!
Considering we are a store full of female employees who deal with a female client base - this was quite a little treat! hahaha I couldn't help but take a picture, especially with all of the girls egging me on! haha

Annnnnd the response...

Greeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaatttt.

Hi Katie,

Thank you so much for letting me know about Douchebag coming to the house. I am very sorry for the inconvenience and you are right! You are dealing with me and this is between Douchebag and I. The truth of the matter is that we are filing for a divorce and we have been separated since last October. He seems to have been in denial and now thinks he can step in to all I have been managing.

What I would like to do is meet with you and the room mates or just you however you would like and let you know what could happen. I dont know if I will keep the unit or if I will have to include it into a bankruptcy. But nevertheless, if I do a BK, you will not be legally obligated to pay the rent. I am meeting with an attorney today, so please just give me a call and we can meet this weekend.

I will talk to Douchebag. Sorry! By the way, he can not evict you.

-Beezy

After talking to her on the phone it looks as though the townhouse we live in is going to be foreclosed on, and we will be getting a move out notice sometime soon. EXCELLENT!

So here is our question: why did it take her d-bag ex coming over for her to give us the heads up?? Stupid Stupid Stupid!

I do not want to pack up and move again, just thinking about it makes me tired and sore already!

I need to buy a house...

-Katie

Our stupid A$$ land lord...

Our landlord is divorced. The townhouse we live in is a property her and her ex own. Our lease states we pay her $X amount each month, simple.

Well tonight her ex husband came knocking on the door, told us that we now need to write him a check for half of the rent because his name is on the lease (which it is not) and because she isn't giving him any of the rent money. He also said that if we do not comply he will evict us.

How can you evict us when you aren't on our lease? And I'm sorry funny man, but I'm not paying you any money unless I have a written agreement.

Soooo I wrote our stupid landlady this lovely email...

Hi Beezy,

I just wanted to let you know that this evening Your Douchebag Ex came by and spoke to Josh about our rent payments. He told Josh that from here on out we need to be writing two checks for rent, one to you, and one to him.

He said that if he is not given a check we will be evicted because he is on the lease. He was very nice about the situation and suggested that Josh, Stephanie, and I all meet with him when we can.

Here is the issue, his name is not on our lease, therefore we do not feel comfortable paying him, nor do we believe that we are legally required to do so.

It would be a major inconvenience to have to split the rent evenly into two checks when all three of us pay a different amount, and we are already writing one single check to you.

If he is to be paid half of the rent and we are going to be required to write him a check as well, we would need a new lease with this agreement in writing, otherwise we will continue to pay you for rent with one check every month.

Please let me know how we should proceed from here on out, and if you can mediate. I don't really feel that it should be our responsibility to deal with him - or the financial situation between the two of you.

Thanks,

Katie

Sooo aggravated!! Do any of you know much about this kind of thing? We aren't obligated to pay him too just because he owns the house with her, right??

UGH!!

Valentine's Day Weekend!

This last weekend I had Friday and Sunday off, which was great because it gave Josh and I some time to go adventuring :)

On Friday we headed in to SF for a day of shopping!!

All day I had been eying the new Coach Poppy Shoulder bag in the Sateen Signature... I saw it in Bloomingdale's, I saw it in Nordstroms, and I saw it in the window of the Coach store... needless to say it was haunting me!! We ended up leaving SF without the bag, but Josh knew how much I wanted it so we stopped at the Corte Madera mall on the way home so I could pick it up at the Coach store there! YAY! :)

I am so excited for my new bag, and getting it with my discount makes it even better! haha

I also got the new Spring Mix Keyfob! It is so cute! There are also lady bugs on it, but you can't see them in the picture.

While in SF we went to the A&F and I got TWO new pairs of jeans! For free! Thanks to some gift cards that I had been carrying around, Yay! And what was even better, was they were the first two pairs I tried on! Talk about luck!

Yay for new jeans!

After the city we came home and I went to the gym, then we made some pasta for dinner and caught up on our DVR!

On Saturday I had work and Josh was going to be gone all day for hockey, so when he walked in to Coach with these beautiful flowers I was SO SHOCKED!!! There were so many people in the store and everyone said "AWWWWWW" at the same time! It was really cute/embarrassing haha!

flowers with out flash!

Saturday night after work I went to the gym again and then I watched 500 Days of Summer with Stephanie and Anthony. It was such a good movie! Then Josh got home pretty late from his tournament and we went to bed because we had a lot of fun plans for Sunday!

We started off Valentine's Day by having some yummy cinnamon rolls for breakfast and then headed to the beach for a picnic! :)

At this particular beach they have restrooms near the parking lot, so I was using one and I locked the door and even checked it twice but some guy opened the door on me! Ahh!!!

This is him. hahaha

Our beach blanket with my whale backpack and whale cooler!

Toes!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We went to Limantour Beach, it is so pretty and usually pretty empty, but naturally there were a lot of couples there for v-day!

Joshy and I!

Ok weird: This man was giving his wife a really gross massage right there in public! They were getting way too physical! It was so nasty! ANNNND their daughter was playing in the sand right next to them! gag!

A random wheelchair...

After the beach we went home and got ready to go out to dinner at Flavor! Our favorite Italian Restaurant :)

We enjoyed an amazing meal! And even found some cows on the way back to the car...

mooo!

We finished off the night doing some grocery shopping and going home to make milkshakes and watch Undercover Boss - which is my new favorite show - not going to lie.

I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day too! I know I sure did!! :)
