You'll Shoot Yer Eye Out!!
Sooooo...things are going much, much better in the Jayhawk/OOSG casa.
There was some major drama that threw down on Friday in our condo...to make a long story short, before they patched up the wall, our "ingenius" maintenance guy decided to only then take a look at the pipework and noticed that our neighbor's pipe was leaking, too.
He then said the words that caused the volcano to errupt...
...looks like we can't patch this up today...
Enter spazmatical Barb...

...there was a lot of high pitched shrilly shrieking going on. (Think Jack McFarland freak out from Will & Grace)
The Jayhawk had snapped.
Enter a bunch of lies and scandal from our maintenance man. Enter Barb, Mike and our Property Manager not taking any more bull shit. Enter our Godsend of a contractor who had everything finished before 4pm. And finally...things got handled.
...all about 4 weeks TOO LATE.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut...we now have a semi-finished kitchen. Our new countertops will be delayed because work got delayed on our condo Friday. But all of our kitchen contents are back where they belong. The new dishwasher came and is so beautiful it'll bring a tear to your eye.
*sigh*
So while the Great Flood Debacle of 2006 continues (countertop replacement next month and carpet replacement after the holidays)...this chapter of the repairs is coming to a close. We're writing a letter to our Condo's board, property manager, condo supervisor of the parent company, all copying our state attorney. It's on muthafudger. :)
So you could argue that Christmas came early this year. In Barb & Mike tradition, all our Christmas decorations went up today. We put on Christmas movies (A Christmas Story, some old Christmas Classics...we're actually watching Home Alone right now) and decked the halls. It was a perfect way to wind down the weekend.
But all in all it was a crazy day. We had company over for the KU/Towson basketball game. We had to do grocery shopping. And the SEVEN strands of lights from last year that went ka-put (which brought me close to tears).
As you may have guessed....we still haven't gone running...which means we're already behind in training for the Country Music Marathon. Whoops. AND we have a race on Thursday. It's only an 8k...but right now 5 miles feels like forever. Our goal is to go running at least once before the Turkey Trot. Even if it is only 2-3 miles. That and to buy me some winter running pants. Cause well...homey don't like her other pair.
But I do have one small pinch of news to share that's running related. My second toe on the right foot...is officially...3/4's of the way nailless. EW! The last bit of the toenail has just hanging on for dear life ever since the marathon! What am I supposed to do? Let it sit there until it falls off? Rip it up? It's just sooo...sooo stumpy. And gross. It's like a toe-let or something. This whole toenail falling off things is definitely new to me. At least it's not flip flop weather. That would be bad.
Anyhoo...it's my best girl's birthday today...Welcome to the Quarter Century Club, Linds! *mwah*

Toenail loss is a problem common to the world's best runners. At least you are in good company.
I'm glad your Great Flood 2006 adventure is nearly over. Extreme suckage. At least you'll start 2007 off right.
Yeah! You're almost back to normal. As to the toenail...soak that beyotch and then just clip it off. It hurts at lot less when it's been soaked for a while.
You know, I've never thought of Home Alone as a Christmas movie, but it totally is. And now I want to see it.
Same thing with my big toenail! Weird huh!
Glad you have a normal kitchen again!
We're grody toenail twins!
I say get rid of that little toe-let. You'll be much happier when you don't have to look at it.
Glad the kitchen repair came through, too!
That's what happens when you try to be nice. At least you can see the light at the end of the renovation.
That toenail has got to go!
Oh...my...Gawd, Barb. I would have lost it LONG time ago. I hope that everything's done before Thanksgiving.
As for the toenail, ewwwwwwww!
Glad to hear your kitchen is back in shape. As for the toenail ("runner's toe," "toe in training," or my favorite, "trophy toe")--I lost the same one about two weeks ago. You shoulda seen it marathon night (OMG, it's an alien on my foot!). Anyway, the soaking tip is right on, and once it's gone, things get better quick. Mine is already growing back, all fresh and nice, so look forward to that! And don't feel bad about the running break. It's good to ease off a bit before the big ramp up for CMM. Just don't beat yourself up about it!
can i just get a rock chalk for the ku/k-state game?!
cuz??
hell yeah sistah. hell. yeah.
Whew, so glad the kitchen is almost back to where it needs to be. Sorry it got sooo yucky on ya!
soak it and rip rip rip it up. Five bucks says your feet can't be any more mutilated and disgusting than mine.
also, i watch Christmas Vacation at least 20 times every holiday season. seriously, best Christmas movie of all time, you can't go wrong with Clark Griswold.

Oh, had I heard that news, I'd have straight up kicked someone in the shins! Word!
And my toenail came off after a session of indoor soccer earlier this year. It was SOOO cool. You're a badass now!
