These are our new neighbors. I have completely forgotten what its like to live in an apartment and to share walls and common space with others. Normally, I'm a pretty laid back person when it comes to neighbors. We all live here so there are compromises to be made...... Well being pregnant there are certain things I don't and probably will never compromise on....
And so we begin......
1. THE COW
Okay so we've been here a total of 2 weeks and 4 days. ( yes, I had to look it up)
NEVER in my whole life have I seen someone that can trample the way our neighbor to the right does. For the first 2 weeks or so I seriously thought it was a couple of really big men coming up the stairs. I was wrong. IT'S A WOMAN!!!!!!!
She's overweight but not to the point where she has to walk like she weighs 500 lbs. BUT she does. She tramples so hard up and down the stairs that every time she goes up or down no matter where I am in my apartment I can feel it. The couch moves, the beds move, even the toilet moves.... Sometimes I have to wonder if we're having an earthquake.... No over exaggerating here. Ask Berto, even he couldn't believe it was one woman making all that happen. So we have nicknamed her THE COW. Call me mean, I don't care, you're not living next to it.....
2. SMOKER#1
The neighbor downstairs to the right. (The poor man lives underneath the cow....) This guy must go through 25 packs of cigarettes a day. No joke. Again normally I don't care what you do with your life. If you want to pollute your air and kill yourself be my guest, BUT, his 2 smoking places are his front door (right underneath Matty's bedroom window), and his back patio (right underneath our bedroom window). Let me explain why this is an issue..... We do NOT have central A/C. We have a wall unit and thats it. Well we don't NEED central air because the weather here is so nice. Seriously its gorgeous. But, to enjoy such nice weather we have to of course open the windows. Since our lovely smoke chain neighbor has to have a cigarette every 2 seconds I spend a lot of my day smelling smoke and then slamming windows shut hoping he'll get the hint that he smells like butt. I don't think its working but I'm going to keep doing it. It's gross. OH and he has a crazy psycho girlfriend/wife/daughter person that comes to visit with her ugly dog. She has THE filthiest mouth for a woman and is just in general a MEAN person. Ask my mom about her.... haha she got to witness the filthy, crazy mouth this woman has and the craziness of her.
3. SMOKER #2
Smoker # 2 is the neighbor that lives directly behind us and downstairs. REALLY nice guy. He offered to help Berto move our stuff when it was raining outside because he had no help til later in the day but Berto said no thank you because he didn't want him out in the rain. He always stops Berto in the parking lot to talk to him. He 's really friendly. He's a little more respective than Smoker # 1. He has a patio with a side fence that leads out to the parking lot. He is nice enough to go out to the parking lot to have his cigarette. Unfortunately, we have a side window over the parking lot so again all the smoke flies up and into that window. AND he's a little crazy and gets up in the middle of the night to have a smoke (because it can't wait til morning?) so sometimes I smell it in the middle of the night too. So nasty. Apparently Californians have nothing better to be addicted to. I'd take caffeine, candy, and even alcohol over cigarettes. It's just so nasty!!!!
The other night Berto accidentally left his wallet in the car (BIG NO NO) so I sent him to go get it and he ran into smoker # 2 in the parking lot. He was down there talking to him for like 30 min. Berto comes back up to tell me that the guy told him the apartment downstairs is haunted.... Great.
Which brings me to:
4. THE GHOSTS
So according to smoker # 2 and one of the maintenance men the apartment directly below us is haunted. Smoker #2 told Berto that people hear banging and voices all the time but no one lives there. They literally use the unit for storage. He says that he always hears stuff during his middle of the night smoke breaks. Whatever.
I don't believe in that stuff but I'm just going off what 2 people have said.
There you have it our 4 neighbors. I don't really like any of them but I'm stuck with them.
Funny things that have happened in the past week......
- Driving to drop our movie off at Blockbuster.... totally saw 2 blonde chicks lighting up and smoking their bong. Yep, smoking weed in the middle of a busy road.... I told Berto to stay away from them since to me and I'm pretty sure most of law enforcement that would be considered driving under the influence.
- Berto went to sit down in his chair at the table and his underwear got caught on a loose piece of wood on the chair. Ripped a hole in the butt cheek of his underwear. SO funny. I was in tears laughing because we even had the ripping sound and everything. Probably had to be here for it to be funny to anyone else.
- Berto is also fed up with the cow next door so he purposely tramples up and down the stairs in hopes that it bugs her as much as in bugs us. And its loud when he does it so I hope she can hear it.
My iphone bit the dust the other day. Completely died. Black screen of death. It was a sad day. I had no facebook, no games, no pinterest, no clock. Ya I really depend on my phone for everything. But Verizon sent me a new one and all is well.
Matty's new thing is to ask if I'm okay.
I still have morning sickness just like I did when I was pregnant with him. So in the morning when I'm in the bathroom he'll come in and say, "you okay?"
It really is so cute. He does it if someone coughs or chokes too.
We FINALLY bought a microwave last night!! Oh man life is so much easier with a microwave!!!
I am 27 weeks. Still feel like poo all the time. This baby is killing my hips!
We'll be spending Halloween at my grandma's house. And then we'll be heading to AZ that weekend for my OB appt. 3D ultrasound!! I can't wait to compare Matty's ultrasound to the new baby's!
Ok I've rambled long enough. Til next time
