Bleh

I have a monster cold. My head is pounding, my nose is running, my throat hurts... but I came into work today because I didn't want to sit home one more day. That was a silly thing to do. I can't seem to care about accomplishing anything :( And my coworkers probably wished I stayed home :)

Monday night we went to look at an apartment and I had the most ridiculous experience with the realtor who was showing it to us. Matt and I were supposed to meet him outside, and when we walk up (with Brynna in the stroller) he pulls up in his truck and starts yelling "you lied to me! you lied to me!".
I was like, "What?!?!!"
"YOU SAID THIS APARTMENT WAS JUST FOR YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND."
I was really confused then I looked at Brynna and was like "Um, is this about the baby? I thought you were just asking if we were going to have another roommate...." And then after a minute I think, "Is this about deleading? Is the apartment not deleaded and that's why you're freaking out?"
"NO! You lied to me!" And drives off. It was very very weird.
So then we turned to walk back home and Shakes meets up with us (he was going to check out the apartment too) and I start telling him the story... then the realtor pulls up next to us and is like "I'm sorry, but I don't like being lied to. The apartment is deleaded and I can still show it to you"
At which point I said "And I don't like being called a liar by a really unprofessional man. I thought you were asking if we had another roommate, not whether we had a kid."
R:"Sorry, it was a miscommunication. Would you like to see the place?"
B: "I guess I can put my pride aside for a minute to go look at it."

So we do, but the whole time I'm fuming inside while he tries to make nice. Even if it was the nicest apartment ever I don't think I would rent it from that crazy man.

:) And that's the beginning of what I'm sure will prove to be a wild apartment hunt. *Sigh* I was really proud of myself for not freaking out back and for going to see the place anyway :)

    Holy Batman, that is bizarre! What on earth got him so personally offended! A normal reaction would be "Oh, I didn't realize you had a baby. Let me make sure that's okay with the landlord."

    WEIRDO!

    Realtors can't discriminate against you for having a baby - good to know and might explain why he came back to show you the place anyway. Totally crazy reaction, though! Good thing the place wasn't amazing, you would have had a tough choice to make....

    Yikes. Would he be involved (as the property manager or something) if you *did* end up renting it? If he's with a real estate company, you should request another agent for future dealings. :)

Deliberate. The adjective, not the verb.

I'm getting so excited for our move.  SO EXCITED!  I'm going to finally spend adult time with my parents (which I'm sure will be infuriating and full of unintended consequences, but also awesome.)  They will be a daily (or maybe weekly) part of our lives for as long as we have them.  This is a deliberate choice, maybe a crazy choice, but one that I embrace with the little knowledge I have of the actuality of it.  I may miss the weather, but life is about people to me, not things. I'm going to live 0.4 miles away from my best friend, and 3.7 miles away from my sister.  I'm going to do real estate.  Matt is going to do a business adventure with his best friend.  This is a deliberate move.  This is a deliberate life.  This is a rebuttal to all the times people say, "I wish I could... but I can't."  Because the thing is, "There's enough time in  your life for everything important."  You are given only one life on this plane...

The Perfect Social Media Life

Watching a little Gary Vee this morning and his rant on caring about what other people think.  (Everything he does is a rant.  But an awesome rant.  I As intended, it caused me to reflect on my social media persona and think about why I post.  Honestly, I post because it's a bit of a yearbook for me.  I love documenting the great stuff, because my brain forgets (in about 0.2 seconds), and I especially love when Facebook reminds me of my memories.  I'm not trying to convince the world that I have the perfect life - I DO have the perfect life.  It's full of family and friends and experiences.  Shelter and safety and amazing food.  In fact, sometimes I DON'T post because I don't want people to compare their lives and feel lacking.  I just want to remember this amazingness for the days when it's not amazing.  Gary Vee posits that we post fantastic stuff because we crave other peoples' validation on our daily lives.  But I know eve...

All sorts of congratulations

We'll start with family... The event of the season! Lisa and Tom's wedding was this past weekend and I'm exhausted, but in a good way. My family (God bless 'em) can be so tiring... :) The wedding itself though was a phenomenal success. We got everything set up in time, the key players all showed up for the ceremony (though my parents were almost late because Colby threw a massive temper tantrum about putting on his suit), and the weather was perfect. They did a tropical/bbq type theme at an old estate (Joanna Furnace) with an accordian playing DJ. He was actually pretty good :) Saturday morning we girls went to get our hair/makeup/lives done, and Shakes was nice enough to accompany us and take pictures. Link is on the top left :) We made it to the church about a half hour before the ceremony to change and hang out, only to realize that by putting our dresses in the dryer to de-wrinkle, they had been almost ruined by a wayward dryer sheet. Other women would have panicked...
