Can i get some privacy please!

So as most of you know Daniel and I live in an Apartment in Millbrook. Well This week was quarterly inspections. Since we have a small dog Daniel called the front office to see if they could tell us an exact time that they would be coming so that I could be home and have our dog put up. (Plus I really don't like the fact of strangers, not very nice ones at that, coming in my home when we are not there). They of course said they had no Idea when it would be and they could only tell us that it would be Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Well gets who gets to sit at home all day waiting on them to come....I didnt even get to go running at the park like I do everyday!! So Monday was a no show. I thought Tuesday was gonna be a no show too because they leave at 5pm and they still had not come around by 3:30. Well Daniel had a playoff game that night at 6:20 so I of course needed to be ready around 5:30 so we could leave. So I figure they aren't coming I might as well get in the bath. I got all my stuff together, got my bath poored, and got in and guess what??? Knock Knock Knock. Well since they have a key to the apartment I knew I had to hurry cause if I didn't come to the door they would come in thinking I was not there. Well my robe was in the other bathroom. Here I am soaking wet and naked (lol) running to the other bathroom to get my robe on praying that they don't walk in the door. If you have ever tryed to put on a cotton robe when you are soaking wet you cannot do it fast. Of course my dog is going crazy the entire time because I was not able to put her up in all the excitement. So I get my robe on and get to the door just as they are opening it. I explain that I was in the bath and they proceed to go around my home being nosy checking to see if anything needs replacing and if we are keeping things sanitary...lol . No joke! The manager looked through every cabinet, my refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, closets, everything while the maintenance man checked the fire extinguisher, and fire alarms. I felt soooooo completely violated...I mean my home was clean but why should I let a complete stranger go through my stuff right in front of me like she owns my stuff and not just the apartment. Anyway thats why we hope to be out of here soon. If the housing market will pick up and I can find a house I consider worth buying...lol then we can move. Anyway out of everything the only thing she could find is that two of my cabinets wouldnt shut all the way so they needed fixing. They have always been this way since we moved in and is not a big deal to me but she decided that it was a big deal to her and that she would send the maintenance guy there tommorrow to fix it. So I get yet another day of sitting at home and doing nothing. And guess what...the whole day goes by and I need to start getting ready to go out to eat before church and I no more step in the shower and Knock Knock Knock...Unbelievable...So I had to scurry once again for him to come in and say "Those arent even bad enough to fix. I don't know what she is thinking" and he leaves. AHHH!!!

For you to completely understand my frustration I need to tell you that this maintenance man is horrible. He never does what he says he is gonna do and every time we have needed something fixed, whether it was the air condition, water heater, whatever he has needed a how to manual and had no idea what he was doing. He told me over a year ago that he would order and replace a mirror in our bathroom that was burned when lightning struck our building and I have yet to see it. So I had absolutely no reason to believe that he would even show up to fix this.

I guess from now on when I want something I should call them and then get in the shower...lol

SOOOOO Worth the money!!!!!

Well I haven't written in a while so I figured it was time to update. I have been so busy lately. It has been insane. We are leaving to go to Gulf shores in about 3 weeks and there is so much I have to do before then! First of all, I have to get a tan. I am usually really dark but havent tanned in a while so I am laying out everyday until then. On top of that I have got to go shopping. I don't have a choice. Nothing fits! This is a good thing though. I have lost about 40lbs so far and 3 dress sizes so I am really excited about going shopping so that I wont have to go naked to the beach...lol..j/k. Also everyday until we leave I have to work out every single day!!! That is a must! I've been trying to keep a variety going between Tae Bo, Jogging, Walking, Kickboxing, Cardio Blast, and Pilates. But I am extremely motivated and I am not backing down..lol So anyways the real reason I am writing this blog is to tell you about my day so far today. For our wedding anniversary in May, Daniel got me a spa package certificate for Smart Skin Day Spa in prattville....BIG MISTAKE on his part...lol...cause I am officially going back once a month now. I went in today for my 1 hour full body relaxation massage. I get there and meet my massage therapist who takes me into this dark tranquil room. She tells me to take my clothes off and lay face down on the table and she will be back in a minute. I should mention there is soft music playing in the back ground. So I did what she said and climbed onto the table and since she didnt come immediately back I looked around a bit. There were candles everywhere and a fireplace (not lit of course) and rose petals around the room. Well she came in a got right to work. She did legs, back, neck, asked me to turn over, then did neck, face, shoulders, arms, hands, legs, and feet! Absolutely amazing....certain techniques just stripped me of my tension. I have never been so relaxed without medication. After she was finished she let me get dressed and then offered me lemon water and food and gave me a thank you letter with a coupon for my next visit. Oh and there will be a next visit!!
I am so glad that I did this! I felt a little wierd about paying that much for a massage when Daniel can give me one at home. (Thats why he had to buy it without me knowing :)) but let me tell you, this is nothing like what you get at home. These people are trained and know exactly what to do and how to do it. They have two other types of massages: deep tissue and hot stone. It is only $65 for a one hour relaxation massage which is so worth the money...I promise! I would probably even pay more. So I told Daniel on the way home that if he would send me there once a month then he will never have to give me a massage...Of course he jumped at that offer. So now I just can't wait til next month. I will be going back next week for the rest of my spa package...I'll let ya know how that goes.


So in Conclusion everyone should have a professional massage at least once in their life!!!!
